The Windfalls of Love novel Chapter 22

Harrison was well aware of his inner restlessness, and he knew where it came from. As a regular dude, he had his, you know, physical needs. But this time, his unease seemed to go beyond just the normal male biological needs.

Today, Roxanne looked especially stunning. Her rosy cheeks looked so soft you could probably squeeze water from them, and her eyes seemed a little hazy. Her smile seemed to hold all the tender feelings in the world.

Who knew the resolute and decisive Roxanne could also have such a gentle side?

At that moment, Harrison took a second look at her. She was really beautiful.

Outside the window, the breeze was soft, silent, but Harrison's heart was pounding like mad, thumping against his chest.

Then Roxanne, a little tipsy, gave a small smile, "Harrison, thank you."

"I just helped you with your medication for a few days, it's no big deal," Harrison replied as he looked at her.

Looking at her soft, rosy lips, he really wanted to kiss them. But in the end, Harrison didn't make a move. He wasn't that kind of guy.

Roxanne gave a sweet smile and said, "I'm not talking about the medication."

She, tipsy as she was, had a particularly sweet smile. Harrison glanced at her again, but he wasn't quite sure what she was thanking him for.

Roxanne stared at him with a slightly intoxicated and mesmerized gaze. Before she went to shower, she saw him put the cash from his paycheck in her purse. He probably really wanted her to use the money to pay off her mortgage, to help her bear the burden.

He had just found a job and was willing to give her so much money. This showed he was a man of responsibility. And he also agreed to her plan to set up a street stand to make some money, which showed he was willing to work hard. Such a man, at least for now, seemed to be someone she could spend her life with. She thought it was pretty great.

Plus, he was really handsome, damn handsome. She, who usually didn't care much about good-looking guys, found herself giving him a second look today.

How could there be such a good-looking man in this world? So good-looking it almost didn't seem real. Marrying such a handsome man, did she just hit the jackpot?

"Harrison." Maybe it was the alcohol, but her voice was very soft, soft enough to make Harrison weak in the knees.

"Hmm." He responded, trying to keep his cool, "What's up?"

"I just wanted to say, thank you for marrying me, for not leaving me alone, for always being there to discuss things with me."

She gave him a tipsy smile and leaned into him, so close to his face. It seemed like she wanted to kiss him, but didn't.

Her lips were so close to his face, that her sweet fragrance once again blurred his senses.

Seeing the overly passionate look in a man's eyes, Roxanne gave a small smile. "Harrison, are you sure we're not going to act like a real married couple? Your eyes seem to be glued to me."

Harrison's gaze was intense, "Are you sure you know what you're saying?"

"Are you dodging my question?" Roxanne asked back with a coy smile.

Her smile was really captivating. Harrison's hand, almost involuntarily, landed on her slender waist.
