The Windfalls of Love novel Chapter 140

Rodriguez Group headquarters.

Alexander had a sneaking suspicion someone was bad-mouthing him behind his back.

He sneezed a few times in succession.

Quickly, Alexander pinched his nose.

Just then, Harrison came strolling into Alexander's office and asked, "Caught a cold, have you?"

"Nope, I'm as fit as a fiddle. Never get a cold. It must be Hazel thinking about me."

Alexander remembered what happened in the morning.

The way Hazel clung to him was alluring and tempting. But he didn't give in to her.

Women's sexual desire would amp up after marriage, and men needed to keep up with their needs.

Otherwise, they might be snatched away by other guys.

Of course, Alexander trusted Hazel 100%.

She loved him so much. She was considerate, kind, sensible, and gentle, just a tad bit spoiled sometimes.

Hazel would never betray him.

"There's something that might tick Hazel off." Harrison said from the doorway.

"You're not sending me on a business trip again, are you?" Alexander frowned.

"Not out of town." Harrison said, "We're going to Valeria. My father's bail hearing is the day after tomorrow. You know your way around the law. I need you with me."

"What about Mr. Johnson?"

"You're the safer bet. My father's 70 now. I want to bring him back to our country."

"Right, he's getting up there. We should bring him home sooner. I'll let Hazel know and accompany you to Valeria."

"The flight takes off in three hours."

"That soon?"

The bail hearing for Vincent Rodriguez was the day after tomorrow.

Alexander originally thought he'd be leaving the country tomorrow.

At least he could spend the evening with Hazel. But the flight was going to leave in three hours, just enough time for him to pack.

Everything else would have to wait. But, President Rodriguez's matter was more pressing. Alexander had no choice but to let Hazel down again.

Harrison said, "Go home, pack, and let Hazel know."

"Hazel's definitely gonna grumble behind your back again." Alexander picked up his car keys and phone, stood up, and prepared to head home.

Alexander lived in Bayview Villa.

It was just over a ten-minute drive.

He drove out of the company's underground parking lot.

At Bayview Villa, Hazel was crying her eyes out, looking absolutely pitiful.

But her sister Nora had zero sympathy for her. "Sis, you know how many guys out there would love you like your husband does? He's just busy with work, but he always tries his best to spend time with you. Every time you throw a tantrum, he comes over to our place, patiently and gently coaxing you. When has he ever lost his temper with you? Such a good man. How could you hurt him like this?"

Nora was deeply disappointed.

She was so furious she was shaking. And Hazel was crying so hard she could barely catch her breath.

Yes. Alexander was such a good man.

How could she betray him?

She truly loved Alexander.

She loved him so much that she wanted to spend her life with him. But she couldn't resist temptation.

The guys out there were just too irresistible.

There were some needs he just couldn't fulfil.

One careless mistake, and she couldn't control herself.

Such a thing once was a mistake; ten times was still a mistake.

The more she did it, the more addicted she got.

It was just like doing drugs.

Hazel sobbed to Nora, "Nora, I really love my husband. I only cheated physically. I never thought about betraying him in my heart."

Hearing this, Nora got even more furious. She was seething, "Hazel, you..."

A surge of anger welled up in Nora's chest. She was having trouble breathing.

Several seconds later, she finally managed to spit out, "Hazel, we Dawsons are cultured. Our parents are educated. They sent you to a top university abroad. How could they have a shameless daughter like you?"

Wasn't physical infidelity still infidelity?

She even had the nerve to say she didn't betray him in her heart.

Nora felt a deep sense of shame and guilt for her sister's words.

It was the Dawsons who owed Alexander an apology.

This was truly heartbreaking.

"Nora,I was just fooling around. I never thought about betraying my husband."

"That's enough Hazel. I must tell Alexander about this."

With that, she took out her phone.

Hazel immediately lunged at her and grabbed her phone.

"Give me back my phone."

Hazel held onto the phone tightly.

The two sisters struggled over the phone.

The phone suddenly fell to the ground.

Hazel quickly knelt before Nora.

"Nora, I beg you, you can't tell Alexander about this. If he finds out, I'm done for. I don't want to lose him; I messed up. I really know I messed up."

"If you don't want others to find out, you shouldn't have done it."

"Nora, I'll change. I promise I'll be faithful to Alexander from now on; I won't go looking for other guys."

"You're thinking about a next time?"

"No, there won't be a next time, absolutely no next time."

Hazel knelt on the floor, clinging onto Nora's legs, crying her heart out.

Slowly, Nora also closed her eyes.

Tears silently rolled down her cheeks.

She wished so much for her sister and Alexander to be happily in love without this kind of betrayal.

She was torn.

If she didn't tell Alexander, she would feel guilty and uneasy. But if she did tell Alexander, her sister's marriage would truly be over.

While the two sisters were distracted, the guy standing by quickly made a run for it.

"Hold it." Nora quickly shouted.

The guy got scared and tightened his grip on the check for half a million dollars.

Would they demand the money back?

The guy quickly stuffed the check into his pocket, fearing Nora would see it and want it back.

After all, he was the one who ruined her sister's marriage.

Nora glared at him and said, "Give me your ID."

"What are you gonna do?"

"Your ID!"

Nora planned to cut off ties between the guy and her sister to save her sister's marriage to Alexander. But the guy was not playing nice.

With a few moves like a neck chop, a throat lock, and a knee strike, Nora had him pinned to the ground.

She snatched his bag, rummaging for his ID.

"I'm keeping your ID here. You need to leave. The farther, the better."

Later, she would deal with this man.

Now, she needed to give her shameless sister a good scolding.

She didn't have time for this guy.

The guy was preparing to sneak away.

Just then, the elevator bell rang, and the villa's entrance elevator stopped at the living room entrance.
