The Windfalls of Love novel Chapter 42

Harrison's patience was almost nonexistent. No, it was somehow less than that.

In such a terrible situation, he was actually thinking about that kind of thing.

He couldn't sleep. He turned his head and whispered, "Roxanne, are you still awake?"

Roxanne responded with a sound.

Because of Granny Ella's passing, her voice held a touch of melancholy and sadness.

Harrison tried to divert his attention through their conversation.

"Although Granny Ella has passed, it might have been a relief for her. Don't be too sad."

"Yeah."

"Roxanne, does your family home need to be rebuilt since it collapsed?"

"No need; I don't often go back home, so it's not necessary. Besides, renovating a house also requires money."

"True."

It seemed they couldn't find a topic to continue discussing.

Ironically, the conversation made it harder for Harrison to shift his attention.

So he got up.

"Where are you going?" Roxanne looked at Harrison's back and asked.

Harrison answered, "I can't sleep, so I'm going for a walk."

"You're not familiar with this place either. Do you want me to accompany you?"

As she spoke, she sat up.

Harrison firmly said, "No need; I want to breathe some fresh air alone."

The next morning, after Granny Ella's funeral had ended, Roxanne and Harrison's group prepared to return to the city.

Chloe and Amelia were packing things, while Harrison and Roxanne were waiting by the car.

At this moment, a middle-aged man with a limp approached Roxanne.

It was Roxanne's father, Sebastian Martinez.

He needed a cane to walk.

Despite that, Sebastian had been quite handsome when he was young, so even in his fifties, he still held a handsome appearance.

Roxanne inherited these good genes from him, which was why she was so beautiful.

Sebastian didn't recognize Roxanne immediately after seeing her.

The year Sebastian divorced Roxanne's mother, Roxanne was only four years old.

At the age of four, Sebastian left Roxanne in their hometown and went to work in Seraphim Haven. Later, he got married in the city and settled into his new wife’s family home.

Only when Roxanne was eight did Sebastian return to Harmony Village once.

Twenty years had passed, and Roxanne had grown up.

If it weren’t for someone pointing out that this was Roxanne, Sebastian might not have recognized her.

“Are you Roxanne?”

Roxanne didn’t respond.

Sebastian carefully examined Roxanne’s face, finding some resemblance to himself, then relaxed. “You are Roxanne.”

Great.

He had been searching for Roxanne all this time. Today, he finally found her.

After breaking his leg, his current wife despised him and sent him back to Harmony Village.

His son from the current marriage also despised him.

Now Sebastian couldn’t even manage to eat properly; he had been wanting to find Roxanne so he could earn money to support himself.

Sebastian straightforwardly said, “Roxanne, I’ve been looking for you. I have nowhere to stay now, and my leg is broken. I heard that you’ve made a lot of money with your company in Seraphim Haven and bought a house. You need to buy me a house in the city too. I’m used to living in the city, and I can’t adapt to living in the village.”

“Oh, and you need to give me a monthly allowance.”

“I won’t ask for too much. Just a thousand dollars a month will do.”

Even after going twenty years without seeing each other, Sebastian still showed no interest in the difficult years Roxanne had gone through.

He was asking for a house and a monthly allowance the moment he spoke, as if he were robbing her.

There were a few things that could make Roxanne angry.

But now, she really wished Sebastian would disappear from her sight.

After seeing Roxanne's reaction, Sebastian continued talking.

"Roxanne, I'm your biological father. You have to solve the housing and living allowance problem for me so I can have a basic life."

"If you don't solve it, that means you don't respect me as your father."

Roxanne clenched her fist tightly.
