Vincent was trying to leave, but it was already too late. Harrison walked out of the room and bumped into him. Luckily, it was Harrison he ran into. Otherwise, if his daughter-in-law had caught him eavesdropping, it would have been incredibly awkward and embarrassing. He wasn't someone with weird kinks. He was just overly anxious about the progress of his son and daughter-in-law's relationship.
The moment he bumped into Vincent's head, Harrison instinctively shut the door tight, his brows furrowing and his expression darkening as he looked at his father.
"Cough, cough!" Vincent used a cough to cover up his embarrassment.
"Are you eavesdropping?" Harrison's expression was a bit unhappy.
"Don't be ridiculous." Vincent acted cool as a cucumber and laid back down on the couch. "I'm not into that kind of stuff."
Looking at his dad lying down, Harrison sneered, "Wow! The chairman of the Rodriguez Group has a habit of eavesdropping, that's not a good look."
"If you were to get married normally, and have a normal wedding night, would I be in this situation?" Vincent stood up, speaking heatedly.
Harrison sneered again, "If you didn't interfere with my freedom, would I be like this?"
"When are you going to choose to fall in love, when I'm dead? How old are you, don't you know?"
Harrison didn't really care. There were plenty of people who didn't get married even at forty. Afraid that Roxanne might hear their argument, Harrison didn't want to continue, "I can't be bothered arguing with you."
The next day.
Roxanne went to work with her back still hurting. She was very careful whether she was cycling or walking. When Chloe arrived at the company, she was all over her with concern.
She smiled briefly, "No need to go to the hospital. I'll just apply some ointment, I'm not that sensitive."
"Did Harrison help you apply the ointment?"
"Yeah."
"Let me see your injury."
Roxanne's office was empty, so Chloe closed the door and had a look at her wound. "Sleeping must be uncomfortable with the wound on your back."
"I slept on my side and face down all night. Didn't dare to sleep flat."
"Anne, you need to take care of this wound. And you need to remind Harrison too. You guys should avoid having sex these few days."
Roxanne put down her clothes and glared at Chloe with a smile. "What are you talking about? We haven't done that. It's not what you think."
"Really?" Chloe was surprised, "You've been married for several days and you haven't done it?"
"Done what?"
"You know what."
"No." Roxanne glared at Chloe again, "You're starting to gossip too?"
"No, I just think you guys are newlyweds, and you should be very intimate every night. When I first got together with Oliver, we did it several times a night."
Chloe would only share this private girl talk with Roxanne. But she regretted being with Oliver now. All the past sweetness made her sick now. She sighed with anger in her eyes, "I really regret being with Oliver."
"Do you think Harrison is as eager as your Oliver? He's a gentleman." Roxanne said, "And I'm not like you were back then, putting all your focus on Oliver."
Chloe also felt regretful. Back then, she was truly too infatuated with that guy.
