The Windfalls of Love novel Chapter 261

Harrison cast his gaze toward the opposite direction, his eyes not wavering in the slightest.

"Drive," he said with an air of indifference.

Anthony had thought that Mr. Harrison would have him pull over.

He even slowed down the car.

But Mr. Harrison showed no intention of stopping.

Every so often, Anthony would glance in that direction, but it was too far away to see clearly.

However, that woman with the round belly and slim, tall figure really did resemble his wife.

"Mr. Harrison, that pregnant woman looks a lot like your wife. Should we stop and check?" he asked.

"No need," Harrison replied coldly.

Anthony let out a sigh of disappointment and continued to drive away.

It wasn't until they were a few hundred feet away, through the rearview mirror, Mr. Harrison turn his head to look back.

He stared at the rear of the car for a long time.

The neighborhood was now out of sight, but Harrison was still staring in that direction.

The pregnant woman Anthony had mentioned couldn't possibly be Roxanne.

He had cruelly forced her to terminate her pregnancy.

She couldn't possibly be pregnant again, appearing on a street corner.

By forcing her to abort, he was lower than scum.

No, scum had more humanity than he did.

He didn't even deserve to remember.

Pulling his gaze away from the rear window, Harrison said expressionlessly, "Anthony, Nora and I are getting engaged in two months. Mind your words from now on."

In the blink of an eye, it was the first of July.

Nora never cooperated with Harrison's plans to have their engagement outfits tailored.

But Harrison was persistent. He asked Hamlin and Emily for Nora's measurements, had a fashion designer meet Nora, and had three different-sized outfits made and delivered to the Dawson family.

After three months of treatment, Nora was still confined to a wheelchair, but her legs were getting stronger. She could now stand up with the help of crutches.

However, her muscles were still weak, and she couldn't stand for long or walk far.

She still needed to continue her rehabilitation therapy.

Seeing the dresses, beautifully packaged in boxes, Nora couldn't bring herself to feel happy.

Harrison was insistent on the engagement, and she couldn't stop him.

She had heard from her parents that a week ago, Harrison had ordered a luxury hotel owned by the Rodriguez Group to start decorating for their engagement ceremony.

The preparations were grand, as if he wanted all of Seraphim Haven to envy her.

Sitting in her wheelchair, Nora looked at Harrison, then at her parents who were accompanying her.

"Dad, Mom, Harrison and I need to talk. You guys go upstairs first," she said.

Hamlin took Emily upstairs.

Before leaving, they also asked the servants in the living room to leave.

Once upstairs, Emily looked worried. "Ever since Nora was in junior high, she always said she wanted to marry Harrison. Now that she's about to get engaged to him, why isn't she smiling?"

Hamlin looked equally troubled. "This marriage might not be a good thing."

Despite Harrison's insistence on marrying Nora, and Nora's lifelong desire to marry him, the two didn’t love each other.

Nora's legs were now disabled, not to mention the fact that she had been violated.

Even if Nora could stand up again in the future, at best, their relationship would only be one of mutual respect, devoid of love.

This wasn't what their daughter wanted.

Even though they knew their daughter was reluctant, Hamlin and Emily eventually agreed to the marriage, albeit with mixed feelings.

Maybe in the future, Harrison would fall in love with Nora and realize her numerous shining qualities.

Marrying Harrison was their daughter's dream from a young age!

But the old couple couldn't muster a single smile.

In the living room downstairs.

Nora looked at the dresses and asked, "Harrison, do you really want to hold our engagement ceremony?"

"Don't you look forward to it?" Harrison asked with a hint of guilt in his gentle voice.

Nora knew better than anyone.

She nodded. "Alright, I'll go try on the dresses."

She pushed her wheelchair and let the maid take the dresses into her room. With her mother's help, she put on the beautiful dress.
