Chapter 69
Roxanne didn''t realize that the one alwaysining about Harrison was her own damn self.
Nor did she realize that the one who broke the heart of that hotshotdy in the luxury car was none
other than Harrison.
"You''re supposed to protect me?"
Harrison gently patted Roxanne''s head.
Roxanne quickly pushed his hand away. "Don''t touch me like it''s no big deal. I wonder who it was that
became so sensitive after just one little kiss yesterday."
"Alright, I''ll keep my distance. Let''s not cross any lines."
Harrison immediately let go.
It wasn''t that he was too sensitive or didn''t allow Roxanne to kiss him.
He just felt that without a foundation of love and without both parties deeply in love with each other, he
shouldn''t get involved with Roxanne.
What scared him more was that if she kissed him, he might lose control and do something to Roxanne.
Even though they were married and she promised to support each other and live a good life, Roxanne
didn''t know his true identity.
If any trouble came up and they ended up not being together, how could he face her if he had done
something to such a pure and lovely girl?
That is only possible if both parties love each other and truly intend to love each other for the rest of
their lives.
Otherwise, Harrison would never allow himself to do such a thing.
If Roxanne said he was sensitive, then he was sensitive.
He wouldn''t bother exining.
Time would tell.
Eventually, Roxanne would realize that he was actually a very responsible man.
"Let''s go; let''s go home."
Harrison got on Roxanne''s e-bike.

Roxanne turned her head and asked, "I thought we were going to the market to buy groceries? If we go
straight home without buying anything, what are we going to eat tonight?"
"No need for groceries. My dad had the neighbor who sells vegetables in the city bring over some meat
and vegetables. They''re already in the fridge at home."
Vincent didn''t allow them to eat dirty food from outside.
They had a big farm at home.
They grew a lot of natural and pollution-free organic vegetables and raised a lot of farm animals.
He definitely wanted to give Roxanne the best.
When they got home, Roxanne saw that Vincent had sent over many vegetables, as well as sliced
She immediately suggested, "Harrison, let''s have barbecue tonight."
"If you want barbecue, then let''s do it."
The two of them cooked together; one washed the vegetables, the other chopped them, and they
quickly had the barbecue ready.
Sitting at the dining table, Harrison served her a bowl of meat.
Looking at the fragrant beef in the bowl, Roxanne felt mixed emotions because it had been a long time
since someone had taken care of her like this.
If she hadn''t married Harrison, perhaps no one would ever treat her with such care.
This simple action made her feel like she finally had a home; she no longer felt alone.
She looked up at Harrison sitting straight across from her, eating elegantly, and felt a lot of emotions.
Then she got up and got a bottle of red wine.
"Harrison, this barbecue is delicious. How about we have some red wine?"
"Drinking again?" Harrison looked at her warily.
She smiled and said directly, "Don''t worry, I definitely won''t get drunk and kiss you likest time."
Harrison remained silent. Clearly, he didn''t believe her.
Who just had a ss of whiskey and insisted on dragging him into a kiss? She even grabbed his neck
and refused to let go, insisting on kissing him.
"Why are you looking at me like that? This is red wine, not whiskey. The alcohol content isn''t high. I
won''t cause trouble after drinking it. And I''m even nning to add some sparkling water."
Red wine with sparkling water? Probably only the not-so-wealthy would drink like this.
Harrison had never tried that way of drinking.
But when Roxanne handed him the red wine mixed with sparkling water, he tasted it.
He felt like the red wine had suddenly be cheap.
But it tasted... sweet!
"Harrison, cheers! To us being married for forty days."
"It''s been forty days already?"
"Exactly forty days."
Forty days?
Time sure flew.
Turned out that even in such a harsh environment, Harrison couldpletely adapt.
"Harrison, I have something to discuss with you."
"Go ahead."
"Chloe''s birthday is in two days, but these past years, Oliver and her inws have never made a big
deal out of it. I want to celebrate her birthday with her and also give her some support, so she can
stand up to her inws."
Roxanne exined her idea to Harrison.
Harrison frowned after hearing her. "You want me to go to Chloe''s house?"
He didn''t want to deal with that weird family.
Seeing his hesitation, Roxanne gave him a pleading look, full of expectation.
Just one look, and Harrison agreed, "Alright."
"Harrison, thank you."
"We''re husband and wife; you don''t have to be so formal with me."
"Okay, I won''t be formal with you from now on."
After dinner, the two of them washed the dishes together.
Roxanne really liked the feeling of a husband and wife working together.
Even though she and Harrison didn''t have a deep emotional foundation, that kind of marriage where
they both put in effort, was very meaningful.
However, her good friend Chloe was not so lucky.
Two dayster, it was Chloe''s birthday.
When she saw Oliver, Roxanne specifically asked him, "Oliver, do you know what day it is today?"
"What day?"
Looking at Oliver''s clueless reaction, it was clear that he had forgotten Chloe''s birthday again.
Roxanne reminded him, "Today is Chloe''s 28th birthday. Don''t you n to celebrate her birthday?"
Oliver didn''t take that matter to heart at all.
"It''s just a birthday; what''s there to celebrate? She''s already a mother of two; do you still think she''s a
little girl?"
"Once you''re married and have kids, you have to settle down and stop chasing those girly dreams of
romance. Roxanne, I''m warning you: stop stirring the pot and making Chloe rebellious. She used to
listen to me before you filled her head with nonsense. How did she get so disobedient?"
Chloe even insisted on going to work and refused to cook or doundry.
She even calcted the money he gave to his mom. Their home life was a total mess at that time.
And Oliver med it all on Anne.
If it wasn''t for Roxanne constantly adding fuel to the fire, Chloe would have been content to stay home,
cook, clean, and look after the family.
"It''s all your fault, always poking your nose into other people''s business."
Roxanne was almostughing at his audacity.
Oliverpletely forgot Chloe''s birthday and showed no gratitude for all Chloe''s efforts.
Yet he had the nerve toin that Chloe didn''t listen to him then?
So, she asked, "Who do you think you are, thinking that Chloe should be a free housekeeper for
your entire family just because she married you?"
"Oliver, you have sisters. Would you want them to be free housekeepers in their inws'' house
without any respect, just like Chloe?"
Oliver had the gall to say, "My sisters should, of course, enjoy a happy life at their inws''."
Anne was so angry she could barely speak, "So your sisters deserve a happy life, but Chloe doesn''t?
Talk about double standards."
"I..."
Even Oliver realized he was being prejudiced.
Of course, he wants his own sisters to be happy at their inws''.
But Chloe was different; she married him. She was part of his family then. And she should have poured
her heart and soul into their home.
Otherwise, why did he marry her?
So, he brazenly said, "Isn''t it normal to expect your wife to do household chores? If she doesn''t do
them, then who will? Should I treat her like a princess and spoil her?"
