The Windfalls of Love novel Chapter 136

Roxanne rushed over according to the address she got.

Before she even entered Charlotte's house, she saw Aria in the pigsty next to the door, her ears bleeding as they were being pulled.

A surge of anger immediately welled up inside her chest.

She felt sorry for Aria.

She was shaking with fury after seeing Aria being abused by her own grandma.

There was a small door to the pigsty.

But Roxanne was too anxious. Instead of going through the small door, she jumped in from behind the stone fence in front of the pig trough.

Before Charlotte could react, she was pushed a good few meters away by Roxanne.

"Charlotte, get lost."

Roxanne hurried to untie the ropes on Aria and comforted her while doing so.

"Aria, don't be scared; I’ll take you home.”

Aria was Charlotte’s own granddaughter; she was so cute and sensible. How could Charlotte have the heart to lock her in a pigsty?

Roxanne’s heart was aching.

But luckily, Aria was not kidnapped.

Aria, who had been holding back her tears, started crying at the sight of Roxanne. Tears poured down her adorable face.

After untying the ropes, Roxanne picked up Aria and held her tightly.

"Aria, stop crying. I'll take you back to your mom."

"Roxanne, why are you always messing things up for us?" Charlotte glared at Roxanne.

Roxanne saw that not only were Aria's ears red and swollen, but her face was too, and there were pinch marks on her hands.

She pulled her clothes a little apart, and there were scars all over her waist too.

These scars were from this cruel woman, Charlotte.

Roxanne couldn't take it anymore!

She carefully let go of Aria in her arms and walked over.

Charlotte was scared and backed off, "What are you going to do?"

Roxanne didn't answer.

She grabbed Charlotte's hair and slammed her head against the pigsty post a few times.

Charlotte started to cry out.

After a few more slams, Roxanne finally let go of Charlotte, but she was still furious.

"Charlotte, you're not fit to be human. You kidnapped Chloe's child, trying to force Chloe into giving money to Oliver for a new wife? How shameless can you be?"

Charlotte covered her aching head, still acting cocky. "This is our family's business! It has nothing to do with you!"

SMACK!

Roxanne slapped her across the face.

If Charlotte wasn't scared, then she would just keep hitting. Roxanne was ready to hit Charlotte until she was scared.

She warned, "Charlotte, Chloe's daughter is my daughter. I'm taking care of this, so if you dare hurt my daughter, I'll fight you to the death."

Charlotte hurriedly called for help from her relative, "Dylan, what are you standing there for? Help!"

Roxanne picked up a stick and pointed it threateningly at Dylan.

"I dare you. If you dare meddle in our business, I'll break your legs."

Dylan stood on the side; he was scared and didn't dare step forward.

Charlotte muttered under her breath, "Coward…"

At this point, Roxanne picked up Aria again and walked out.

She went back to the car, dragged out the tied-up Sophia, and pushed her in front of Charlotte.

Charlotte was heartbroken when she saw that her own daughter's hands and feet were tied up, and her mouth was gagged.

She immediately went to remove the cloth from her daughter’s mouth.

Sophia immediately started crying, “Mom!”

Charlotte finally understood how Roxanne had found her.

But Roxanne was too strong, they couldn’t fight her, so Charlotte didn’t dare speak anymore.

Roxanne had left Moons Village in Amberfield with Aria in the car.

The car was heading to the county town. Roxanne had booked a private room in a hotel and then took Aria to eat something.

It took a lot of effort to get Aria to sleep.

When Chloe arrived and saw her sleeping daughter covered in pinch marks, with her ears and face swollen, her heart felt like it was breaking.

She gently held Aria, afraid to wake her, and didn't dare hold her too tight.

She was scared of losing her again.

Once she held her, Chloe didn't want to let go, and tears silently slid down her cheeks.

From last night, when Aria went missing, until she knew where she was, her heart felt dead. She felt like a walking corpse.

It was only at this moment, while holding her daughter tightly, that Chloe felt alive again.

Roxanne wanted the mother and daughter to have a good reunion. "Chloe, you didn't sleep at all last night, so why don't you sleep a bit next to Aria? I've booked the room next door; let me know if you need anything."

She and Dominic left together and closed the door.

She glanced at Dominic lightly and handed him the key card.

"I booked room 203 for you. You should rest too."

Dominic was feeling mixed emotions, and he looked at Roxanne with complicated eyes. "Thank you for caring."

"Dominic, you got it wrong; I don’t care about you."

Roxanne looked at Dominic calmly.

"Last night, you also helped look for Aria the entire time, so I booked this room for you."

Dominic understood. "I know."

Without saying anything more, Roxanne turned around and went to room 205.

She had also been up all night and had been driving for three hours. She needed to rest too.

Her weary figure made Dominic's heart ache with a mix of emotions.

He really wanted to go up and hold her. But he couldn't.

He couldn't help but follow her for a few steps. While watching Roxanne's back, he asked, "Roxanne, you still hate me, right?"

He had left her and betrayed her right before they were about to get married.

Roxanne was holding the doorknob, about to go in, when she paused.

But she didn't turn around to look at Dominic.

She said lightly, "Hating someone takes a lot of energy. I don't have that much energy."

She had long stopped hating him.

If she didn't learn to forgive and let go, she would have too many people to hate.

Why be so hard on herself?

She had let go of the whole Dominic thing ages ago. Back when she almost died in Marientown seven years prior.

After thinking about that trip to Marientown, Roxanne turned to face Dominic, offering him a nonchalant smile.

"Dominic, I should thank you. You were actually a matchmaker for my husband and I.

You broke my heart when you left me, so I went to Marientown. As I traveled through the desolate wasteland, I ran into my future father-in-law. We managed to survive a wolf attack together and became friends. Then, quite unexpectedly, I ended up marrying his son.

My husband is a very responsible, down-to-earth, caring, and honest man."

Whenever she mentioned Harrison, a smile would always grace Roxanne's face.

Just the thought of the times spent with Harrison would make her beam with happiness.

In this life, she believed she had chosen the right man to marry.

This sense of happiness was like a sharp knife that stabbed deep into Dominic's heart.

But hadn't he left so that Roxanne could find happiness and marry a good man?

Why then, did it hurt so much to see her actually find it?

Roxanne laughed. "You know my husband's name is Harrison, right?"

She knew Dominic had asked Chloe about Harrison.

Dominic was well aware of who her husband, Harrison, was.
