The Windfalls of Love novel Chapter 3

"Where is your luggage?"

Harrison froze. He furrowed his brow and asked, "Are you saying I can stay at your house?"-

After careful consideration, Roxanne responded directly, "You've gone bankrupt and have nowhere to stay. How could I let you be homeless? I didn't marry you for your money. Now that we're married, we're a family, and family should help each other. Come on, I'll take you to my house."

She agreed just like that? Harrison was shocked in his heart. He had prepared himself to be rejected by her. And he was ready to use this experience to prove to his father that his daughter-in-law wasn't what he imagined. He even thought she would regret marrying him. Now it seemed that she was indeed an extraordinary woman, just as her father had described.

Harrison really hoped to be rejected by her, so he asked, "What about the money I borrowed from you?"

Roxanne answered seriously, "I need to think about that." Ten thousand was not a small amount.

Harrison said, "If you find it troublesome, then you don't need to consider it. After all, we haven't known each other for long."

Roxanne said, "I'll give you an answer tomorrow morning."

Roxanne thought of something and asked, "Mr. Rodriguez, apart from going bankrupt, do you have any debts?"

They were legally married now. If he had any debts, she would have to repay them together with him. She was very nervous about this.

Harrison also sensed her tension. He felt it was a bit too much to deceive her about going bankrupt, and he didn't want to put too much pressure on her. So he said, "No, my assets are enough to repay the debts, but I don't have a penny now."

"That's good," Roxanne breathed a sigh of relief and immediately encouraged him, "You have hands and feet, find a job. As long as you're willing to work hard, there's still a chance for a comeback."

Harrison didn't say anything, just nodded and looked at her a little longer. She seemed genuinely hard to dislike.

Roxanne asked, "Where is your luggage?"

"The house was suddenly seized," Harrison said, "I didn't bring anything with me."

Roxanne took him and said, "Let's go, I'll buy you a few sets of clothes for changing and some daily necessities."

Harrison looked very refined. She had intended to buy him some better clothes. But now it was already 10 p.m., and the large shopping mall across the street had already closed. At this time, only the street stalls were still open. So she took Harrison to the Night Fair.

There were various stalls here, selling fried noodles, fruits, and they were all loudly calling out their products. If it weren't for Roxanne, Harrison would never have come to a place like this.

At this Night Fair, Harrison felt very uncomfortable. He even regretted agreeing to his father and marrying Roxanne, who lived in such an environment. In a year, his father would no longer interfere in his marriage, and he would endure it until then.

Roxanne first bought daily necessities for Harrison and then picked out two sets of sportswear. The two sets of sportswear only cost a total of 160 bucks, very cheap.

After inquiring about the price, Roxanne turned to Harrison and asked, "This is the only stall still open at this time, so I only bought these two sets. Is it okay?"

"You want me to wear this?" Harrison furrowed his brow tightly, and his gaze revealed a sense of dissatisfaction.

Roxanne originally wanted to say that since he had gone bankrupt, he shouldn't be so picky. But she also thought about not hurting his self-esteem in public. After all, men cared about their pride. So she chose a more tactful approach and said, "I understand that it's difficult to transition from a luxurious lifestyle to a modest one, but considering your current situation, let's just make do with these clothes. They are still wearable."

Harrison realized that he had been too picky. Besides, Roxanne had spent money to buy these clothes. If he continued to be picky, it would be unfair. Seeing him fall silent, Roxanne made the payment through her mobile phone and said to the vendor, "Make sure to give me clothes for someone tall, otherwise, he won't fit."

The stall owner was a round-faced woman in her forties. After packing the clothes, she kept staring at Harrison and said, "Is this your husband? He is really handsome." She had been doing business here for over ten years and had never seen such a handsome man come by. He might even outshine the celebrities on TV. Those celebrities wore makeup, but the man in front of her was real, all-around handsome.

Although Harrison often encountered women's admiring gazes, being stared at by a middle-aged woman made him feel somewhat uncomfortable. He took the clothes and held Roxanne's hand, quickly leaving. Roxanne understood that he didn't want to be scrutinized like that, so she hurried along while still holding his hand. However, after a few steps, she pulled her hand out of his. As a single woman, it was the first time in seven years that she had touched a man's hand, and she didn't like the feeling. It was as if her personal space had been invaded. So when she pulled her hand back, she seemed a bit angry. "I don't like people casually holding my hand. Next time, unless I give you permission, you're not allowed to do that."

Harrison didn't respond immediately but felt that he had been rejected by her. Weren't his previous girlfriends hoping to receive this kind of attention? Although he felt a bit disappointed, Harrison politely apologized, "I'm sorry!"
