The Windfalls of Love novel Chapter 142

Roxanne's mind was clearly somewhere else.

Harrison, who had just been handling everything smoothly, finally let out a sigh of relief.

In fact, when Roxanne asked him about the news of Seraphim Haven's richest man, he had been on edge.

He was afraid his identity would be exposed.

Luckily, soon after the news was released today, he had his photo with Vincent, both wearing masks, completely deleted.

Right now, he didn't want to be distracted.

He just wanted to be fully engaged with Roxanne, to quench the longing he had been nursing for the past twenty-two days.

He held Roxanne, leading her to the bathroom.

He turned on the shower.

Hot water poured down.

Inside the glass door, fog quickly filled the air.

Clothes were thrown out one by one.

Soon, the floor was a mess.

When their passion was reaching its peak, the phone in the pocket of the suit pants on the floor was ringing off the hook.

Harrison's kisses were already on Roxanne's chest.

She gently pushed him and said, "Harrison, the phone!"

"Ignore it!"

Harrison, holding her waist, pulled her closer.

"Harrison, answer the phone."

"No."

"What if it's your dad?"

She had just called Vincent that afternoon.

Vincent said he was weeding alone.

She was worried he might have an emergency.

Roxanne pushed away Harrison, who was looking at her with deep affection.

"We've waited for twenty-two days, and we can continue after the call."

Her bare feet stepped out of the glass door onto the dark carpet outside, immediately leaving thin traces of water.

She bent over to pick up the suit pants on the floor and pulled out the phone from the pocket.

Crystal clear water droplets slid down her slender body.

The falling water droplets made it even harder for Harrison to restrain himself.

He pulled Roxanne back in.

On the phone screen, the call was still coming in.

Roxanne blocked his kiss with her hand, pointing to the caller ID on the phone screen.

"Harrison, it's really your dad. You should answer the call."

Harrison frowned.

Why did he have to call at this moment?

What a buzzkill.

Just as he was about to hang up, Roxanne had already dodged to the back and answered the call.

"Vincent!" She glared at Harrison, signaling him to stop messing around.

Vincent was very happy to hear Roxanne's voice, "Roxanne, is Harrison home? Are you two together?"

"We're both at home." Roxanne, wary of Harrison, who was always ready to make a move, said, "Harrison is taking a shower."

"Alright."

Vincent was a bit worried about today's news photo.

He tentatively asked, "Roxanne, is everything alright between you and Harrison? Are you guys okay?"

"Why are you asking all of a sudden?" Roxanne was confused.

Vincent seemed a bit embarrassed, "I'm just checking in."

Since Harrison was taking a shower, he might as well chat with Roxanne.

After all, he liked talking to Roxanne.

He loved Roxanne as if she were his own daughter.

They chatted about trivial matters.

At this point, Harrison was getting impatient.

He blurted out, "Dad, do you want a grandchild or not?"

"Are you done with your shower?" Vincent asked.

"I'm in the shower." Harrison snatched the phone from Roxanne.

Before hanging up, he added, "I'm taking a shower with my wife right now. Don't call and interrupt us."

Harrison quickly hung up the phone and put it on a corner shelf.

Vincent laughed when he heard his voice.

His wish to hold his little granddaughter was about to be fulfilled.

He could imagine how cute his little granddaughter would be when she was born.

Vincent thought he should prepare some clothes for his little granddaughter, like princess dresses, little hats, little socks, and little gloves.

In the East Adjacent Estates.

"Harrison." Roxanne scolded him, "Why did you talk to your dad like that just now? You made me feel so embarrassed."

"I just stated the facts." Harrison replied calmly, "Do you want me to lie to my dad?"

"Even if you did lie, why did you have to say I was showering with you."

Roxanne felt extremely embarrassed.

"I never liked lying." With that, Harrison wrapped his arm around her waist, pulling her close.

"But..."

Harrison leaned down, kissing her lips, interrupting her words.

Hot water kept gushing from the shower.

The steam in the bathroom was getting thicker.

On the foggy glass door, a pair of small palms pressed on cheerfully, as if trying to grip something tightly.

Until Harrison's big hand covered hers, holding it tight.

Their hands held each other tightly.

They kept knocking against the glass door.

After a while, Roxanne's small palms slipped down as if all her strength had been drained.

She gently hugged Harrison's waist, resting her head on his chest.

"Harrison, can we not do this in the bathroom next time? The glass door is too hard. I prefer the soft bed."

"That's because you're getting better and better at arousing my desire!" He lightly touched her nose, kissing her face.

"I'm out of energy. Could you help me wash again?"

"Sure!"

After Harrison helped her wash, he wrapped her in a bath towel.

Then he carried her back to the bedroom.

Roxanne laid down on the soft bed.

Harrison went to put on a pair of pajamas.

When he came back, he sat on the edge of the bed, let Roxanne rest on his lap, and carefully dried her hair.

Probably because she was tired, Roxanne fell asleep quickly.

The light shone on her watery face. Under her seaweed-like hair, her face looked even more delicate.

Harrison's long fingers passed through her hair, finally stopping on her face, unwilling to pull away.

His little woman, his little sprite!

She quietly barged into his life.

Up until this point, Harrison still couldn't believe how quickly he had fallen head over heels for a woman.

Before he met her, he never believed in love.

However, when she entered his life, he began to believe in true love.

He believed that Roxanne was his soulmate.

Just sitting there, watching her sleep peacefully, was the most valuable thing in the world to him.

If he could do that until the end of time, he would be more than willing to.

The next day.

Roxanne arrived at the office full of energy.

Her relationship with Harrison was getting better and better.

Her business with Chloe was also improving.

They had hired a few new employees that day.

Three of them were to assist Chloe in expanding their overseas online business.

Another one was in finance, and the last one was a receptionist.

Their company was gradually growing.

That night, Roxanne took everyone out for a seafood dinner.

In private, Roxanne teased Chloe, "So, Chloe, how does it feel to be the boss for the first time?"

"Stop messing with me. I don't look like a boss. I'm just constantly learning and adapting."

After ordering their seafood, they headed to the private dining room.

They were followed by an uninvited guest, Nathaniel Martinez.

After leaving Rodriguez Group, Nathaniel got into a highly influential state-owned enterprise in Seraphim Haven through his grandfather and mother's connections.

He served as the deputy chief financial officer.

This position was higher than his previous one at Rodriguez Group.

Now, Nathaniel's life was going smoothly.

The vice chairman next to Nathaniel was a short, chubby man, a typical senior leader in a state-owned enterprise.

When he saw Roxanne and Chloe walk into the private dining room, his small, lecherous eyes were almost glued to Roxanne.

"Her legs are so long," he said.

"Mr. Duncan, do you like this type of woman?" Nathaniel asked.

"Such a tall, beautiful woman was truly captivating," Mr. Duncan said, itching inside.
