The Windfalls of Love novel Chapter 45

Harrison had secretly arranged bodyguards to protect Roxanne due to the recent online harassment and disclosure of her private information. He emphasized to the bodyguards that they shouldn't get too close and shouldn't let Roxanne discover their presence. Thus, the bodyguards kept their distance and remained cautious.

As the bodyguards watched Roxanne pacing along the riverbank, they grew concerned about her state of mind and the possibility of her taking a drastic step due to Sebastian's actions.

They reported this to Harrison, causing him to clench his phone tightly and his heart to skip a beat.

Could she be considering suicide? While facing such a terrible father, anyone would be tormented, and suicidal thoughts weren't out of the question.

However, Harrison's calm rationality kicked in, allowing him to analyze the situation.

Despite the gravity of her circumstances, Roxanne was inherently optimistic. Even in the face of adversity, she would stand strong and positive. After all, she had managed to remain positive despite being abandoned by her parents at the age of four.

Harrison reminded himself of this and concluded that she probably wasn't as pessimistic as he initially feared.

He instructed the bodyguards, "Keep a close eye but maintain your distance. Let me know immediately if there's any change."

He had an important meeting scheduled, and he had initially planned to finish it before seeking out Roxanne. However, he found it increasingly difficult to focus on the meeting.

Eventually, he decisively ended the discussion with the senior management, saying, "Let's wrap it up for today. I have other urgent matters to attend to. We'll continue tomorrow. Meeting adjourned."

Harrison was the first to leave the meeting room. His pace quickened as his urgency grew.

Alexander followed and inquired, "Harrison, what's wrong with you? The online harassment of your wife is affecting your mood, isn't it?"

Harrison continued walking, saying, "Why would I be so unsettled by that?"

"Are you trying to deny it again?"

"Can't I?"

"Your face is full of concern for your wife. Are you heading to console her?"

Harrison remained silent.

He entered his office, changed his clothes, and reemerged wearing a different outfit.

Alexander observed him and questioned, "Why do you change into this navy suit every time you leave the company building? Moreover, the quality of this suit doesn't seem that good."

"It was custom-made by Roxanne." Harrison said as he adjusted his collar with care.

Alexander suddenly realized, "Oh, so it's a suit made by your wife. No wonder you like wearing it, even though it doesn't look high-quality."

Harrison straightened his sleeves, "You're overthinking it. She doesn't know who I really am yet, so wearing the clothes she bought for me won't arouse suspicion."

After adjusting his attire, Harrison continued, "Besides, I think the quality of this suit is decent. It's not much worse than the clothes in my closet. It's just that one is a branded item and the other isn't. In the end, they're all clothes. What's the difference in the brand?"

Alexander remarked, "Clearly, it's because you like Roxanne. You even like the clothes she gives you. There's no need for unnecessary explanations."

Harrison stated, "You're seeing things that aren't there. I'm not in the mood to argue about this with you right now."

Alexander grinned, "Are you willing to admit that you're going to see Roxanne?"

Harrison replied, "My wife is in trouble, and as her husband, shouldn't I help her?"
