The Windfalls of Love novel Chapter 98

Harrison seemed to be uninterested in the topic everyone was discussing. He tapped on the table and when everyone quieted down, he turned to Samuel. “Samuel, let's settle it. You're coming with me next Saturday. Everyone else, don't bother.”

Everyone looked a bit bummed out. Such a great chance to meet Harrison's wife, and just like that, it was gone.

As Harrison was about to leave, Alexander asked, “Harrison, why not just tell Roxanne you're the president of Rodriguez Group? That way, we don't have to play along with this charade. Plus, we could openly show up in front of Roxanne. Acting is such a drag.”

Alexander had played along with Harrison's act twice in front of Roxanne. It was indeed tiring. He wondered if Harrison felt even more drained from acting every day.

Harrison turned back, giving Alexander a cold stare. “What if she gets freaked out? Will you take responsibility?”

Alexander replied, “No way, I can't handle that.”

Harrison retorted, “Then shut up.”

Ignoring Alexander, Harrison walked away. Samuel quickly caught up with him, walking by his side, and asked, “Harrison, ever since Nora found out you're married, she hasn't bothered you again, has she?”

Harrison gave him a sidelong glance, “Why are you asking?”

“Just curious.” Samuel seemed nonchalant, but he was all ears.

Harrison stopped and gave Samuel a once-over. Samuel felt a bit nervous under his gaze and chuckled, “Harrison, I think you've hurt Nora enough this time.”

“Are you into her?” Harrison asked.

Samuel laughed it off. “Don’t kid around. I like girls who are lively, youthful, and energetic. How could I possibly be into someone as quiet as Nora? Besides, she has eyes only for you. If I liked her, wouldn't I be asking for trouble? I ain't that dumb.”

“Since you don't like her, don't hurt her. She's a good girl.” This was Harrison's warning. He just didn't want to hurt Nora; that was why he had been distant and rejecting her all this time.

Samuel raised an eyebrow, chuckling nonchalantly. “Don't worry, I don't mess with people I know. If I want to have some fun, I'll look elsewhere.”

Samuel's laughter was met with Harrison's intense gaze, making him slightly uncomfortable. “Harrison, why are you looking at me like that?”

Harrison said with a meaningful tone. “Why are you sacrificing your own happiness to feud with your father? There are things you can't evade or hide. You need to face your own feelings.”

Samuel's smile froze. Could it be that his outward indifference, just to piss off his father, was seen through by Harrison? This was truly perceptive of him.

Saturday came in a blink of an eye. It was the day Roxanne moved into her new house.

Although the new house was fully furnished, the thrifty Roxanne packed up everything usable from her rental house into boxes and moved them all to the new place.

Early in the morning, Samuel was called over by Harrison to help with the move. The moment Samuel saw Roxanne, he became her willing minion. He was ready to jump at any task, big or small.

Roxanne complained to Harrison, “Harrison, we agreed to invite your friend over for dinner at the new house. Why did you have him come over so early to help?”

“It's alright. He's our friend.”

“Yeah, Roxanne, don't be so formal.”
