Chapter 181
"Alright, you''re always whining about me not spending time with you. Well, now I''m all yours. Anything
else you''re not happy about?"
Roxanne didn''t pay attention to Harrison. She walked over and chatted with Chloe.
It was then that Harrison got some free time. He saw Noah struggling with his luggage and frowned,
"Roxanne noticed that fancy watch on your wrist."
Noah nced at it.
What was wrong with his watch?
Harrison reminded him, "Maybe you should tone it down a bit?"
Even he, the richest man in Seraphim Haven, dressed modestly and didn''t wear any expensive
watches or jewelry.
Harrison asked, "Didn''t I remind you before we left? Roxanne still doesn''t know who I am."
Noah looked again at his Patek Philippe watch. This $30,000 watch did raise some suspicions. He''d
been careless.
"I''ll take it off immediately."
"No need." Harrison reminded him, "I already told Roxanne that you''ve made quite a bit from selling
masks these past few years. Just don''t contradict me."
Noah replied, "Yes, Mr. Rodriguez, I promise not to mess up."
"What did you call me?" Harrison frowned.
Had Noah forgotten what he''d just told him?
Noah was flustered, "Mr. Rodriguez, you didn''t tell me what to call you."
"Just call me Harrison." It would make their rtionship seem warmer.
And it would exin why Noah was always running around serving them.
When they arrived at the vacation rental, Chloe was amazed, "Anne, are we really staying here
tonight?"
Wasn''t this a mansion?
How much did it cost to stay here for one night?
"It''s probably here." Roxanne said, "Harrison has many friends who run vacation rentals. Thest time I
went to Warmville for work, I stayed in an even nicer vi with a luxurious swimming pool and a heated
hot spring."
Noah, who was walking in front,ughed, "Mrs. Rodriguez..."
He almost messed up again.
He corrected himself, "Roxanne, there''s also a heated hot spring here. You must be tired from the
flight. Why not rx in the hot spring?"
They reached the front gate of the vi.
Noah handed them the ess card, "Chloe, this is for you. You''re staying in the vi next door. Each
room is well-kept. Feel free to choose any room you like."
"We can all stay in one vi." Chloe looked at Roxanne.
The vi was three stories high.
There were so many rooms. Why did they need to split into two vis?
Noahughed and nced at Harrison and Roxanne, "This is to..."
He couldn''t call Mr. Rodriguez.
Noah quickly corrected himself, "This is to consider that Harrison and Roxanne just got married. After
you finish your business here, they can have their honeymoon."
Noah was very thoughtful.
After hearing his arrangement, Chloe very cooperatively and tactfully went to the vi next door.
After settling down, Chloe texted Roxanne, "Anne, this vi is so luxurious. The decoration is high-end,
just like Mr. Alexander''s house."
Roxanne replied, “I also find the decoration very luxurious. It doesn''t seem like a vacation rental”.
Chloe stated, “ Anne, Harrison seems to be capable of anything. He has a lot of friends and
connections. I''m kind of in awe of him. Don''t get me wrong, I just simply admire him, no other meaning.
I just feel like he''s very capable.”
Roxanne replied, “ I always have a feeling that he''s hiding something from me, but he seems very
honest.”
It was like he had a contradiction.
There was a sense of mystery in his honesty.
This feeling was bing stronger and stronger for Roxanne.
She looked at Harrison, who was standing at the door chatting with Noah.
Despite earning more money than Harrison, Noah always seemed a bit wary in front of him.
As if Harrison was his boss.
After Noah left, Harrison walked over and asked, "Are you tired? Should we go rx in the hot spring?"
"Harrison." Roxanne frowned, "Why is Noah so respectful towards you? He''s not your servant."
"Is he?" Harrison''s face turned serious.
Was it that obvious?
But he''d already warned Noah to be careful with his words and actions.
Harrison stated, "Noah is polite to everyone."
"I see."
"This vi has three floors. Which one do you want to stay on?"
"I want to stay on the third floor to see a better view."
Harrison helped her carry her luggage to the third floor.
Of course, the vi had an elevator, so they could just take that up.
Feeling tired from the flight, Roxanne went to the hot spring in the backyard on the first floor.
Harrison joined her in the hot spring.
Roxanne leaned against the edge of the hot spring, looking at the clear water.
The steam from the hot water rose slowly. It felt like she was in a dream. The environment was
beautiful and intoxicating.
Roxanne had never been to such a ce before.
In the past, even when she went to hot springs, it was always crowded with people.
After soaking, she''d feel itchy and had to go to the hospital for anti-inmmatory skin medication. Since
then, she never went to hot springs again.
But the hot spring water here was very clean and clear.
Roxanne watched as Harrison swam towards her with a freestyle stroke.
His arm and chest muscles were more prominent as he moved in the water.
He dived and resurfaced.
Original from N?velDrama.Org.
Each muscle on his body was lean and powerful.
When he swam up to her and suddenly leaped out of the water, his pecs glistening in the water looked
extra manly.
"Anne." Harrison took her waist,ing close, "You tired from your flight today? Want me to give you a
massage?"
"Nah, just soaking here isfy enough."
Roxanneughed, brushing off the steam over the water.
She said, "This water is so clean, just like the water in my bathtub at home."
Sure thing.
He had already told Noah to clean and disinfect the hot spring.
The water was also just filled an hour ago.
How could he let her bathe in the water someone else has been in?
And besides, this vi is his; he wouldn''t let anyone else in.
Roxanne said, "Noah''s business isn''t going well. Looks like no one''s staying here."
Harrison held her tight, gazing deeply into her eyes, saying, "In this moment, can we just focus on each
other and not talk about other stuff?"
Roxanne suddenly asked, "Harrison, are you not wearing pants?"
Roxanne felt his skin was smooth, his muscles firm and strong, obviously toned.
She then asked, "Are you not wearing swimming trunks?"
"Focus, please." Harrison gently lifted her chin.
His lips were about to kiss hers.
Roxanne couldn''t helpughing, "Harrison, you''re not thinking of getting it on with me in this pool, are
you?"
"I told you, focus." Harrison frowned, yfully pinching her nose.
"How can I focus?" Roxanne looked around, "This is an outdoor pool. Feels kinda weird."
Harrison gently kissed and caressed her cheeks, trying to distract her with the softest and tenderest
kisses and touches.
But Roxanne was still a bit worried, tilting her head to the right, "Besides, that''s Chloe''s vi over there.
What if she sees from the window?"
"Focus!" Harrison kissed her hard as a punishment for her distraction.
He didn''t need to worry about Chloe seeing them. The night was dark, with tall trees blocking the view.
Even if she saw, she wouldn''t be able to see clearly. And at thiste hour, Chloe should be asleep.
Harrison''s tenderness made Roxannepletely surrender. She closed her eyesfortably, actively
hugging his neck.
Soon, she was acting cute in his arms.
This man always knew how to make her surrender to him in the shortest time.
Hepletely conquered her.
From the beginning, when he had no skills in kissing, just brushing against her lips and not knowing
what to do next, he''s be a pro.
He was like a hunter, and in his arms, she was his prey, hands tied, crying for mercy.
His tenderness conquered her body and mind as if she were entering another marvelous world.
The water in the hot spring stirred upyers of waves.
In the next vi, Chloe just finished a bath, wearing her pajamas and putting on a face mask.
Ever since Alexander suggested that she could wear makeup every day, she started to take care of her
appearance.
Before putting on her mask, she even applied some freckle removal product she bought from a medical
beauty clinic for several hundred dors. It was said that if used every night, her skin tone would
improve over time.
She didn''t know if it was true or not.
Chloe was diligent in her skincare now; she knew there were no ugly women, onlyzy women.
She had to work hard to make herself more beautiful.
After half an hour, she took off her mask.
Just then, Alexander called her.
Due to poor signal in the room, Chloe went to the balcony to answer the call.
"How are you doing over there? Have you settled in?"
Alexander had messaged Harrison, but Harrison didn''t reply.
"Yes, Roxanne''s husband found a ce to stay. It''s at a friend''s B&B; it''s a vi; the environment is
very good."
Alexander thought to himself, “ This guy, so many lies.”
He said, "Your friend and her husband have a great rtionship."
Alexander pretended not to know Harrison well.
He said, "Your friend''s husband seems to treat her well."
"Of course." Chloe said proudly, "Anne is such a good person. The man she chooses must be the
best."
While talking, Chloe seemed to hear some noise.
The sound was very faint and unclear.
Following the sound, she saw the waves in the hot spring of the next vi.
Was someone swimming?
Upon closer inspection, She realized it wasn''t someone swimming but rather two people making out.
Due to the distance and darkness of the night, she couldn’t see clearly. But Chloe was experienced,
and the sound was making her blush.
Sheughed helplessly. This newlywed couple really can''t be away from each other. They''re really
adventurous, even going to the hot spring.
Back then, she and Oliver, every time they got intimate, it was on the bed, boring and dull.
Chloe now regretted giving her purest and most precious self to that jerk, Oliver.
She also wanted to start over, to meet a good man, but it was impossible now.
She didn''t hear what Alexander was saying on the phone.
"Chloe, are you listening?"
"Oh... I just went to get a ss of water." Chloe lied.
She couldn''t tell Alexander that she saw the couple next door making out.
"Are your good friend and her husband with you?" Alexander asked casually.
Chloe said, "They went to bed."
Chloe dared not look at the other vi''s hot spring again.
She just saw it unintentionally.
She wasn''t a voyeur. She had to avoid this kind of thing.
She quickly walked towards the room.
The signal in the room was bad. She walked to the window of another room, and then she heard
Alexander''s voice again.
Chloe asked," Mr. Alexander, do you need anything else? I''m gonna sleep."
If there was nothing else, she was going to hang up.
Hearing that she was going to sleep and seemed not very interested in chatting, Alexander felt a little
down.
He didn''t realize that he had this subtle feeling of disappointment.
He said gentlemanly, "Then you should go to bed early. You must be tired from the flight; I''ll hang up."
Chloe said. "Okay."
"Chloe, wait a minute." Alexander didn''t know why he would call out.
Maybe he wanted her to hang on the line a bit longer and chat more.
Or maybe he just wanted to hear her voice again.
Alexander himself couldn''t make head or tail of his feelings.
Chloe asked," Mr. Alexander, anything else?"
Alexander replied by asking, "Can I pick up Aria with Amelia tomorrow afternoon?"
Chloe was a little taken aback.
Mr. Alexander was busy as a bee and still wanted to pick up Aria?
Alexander quickly exined, "Hazel has been giving me a hard timetely. Going to pick up Aria can
help show that you and I are in a steady rtionship."
"Alright then. I appreciate it." Chloe politely replied.
Alexander said, "No problem, I''m really fond of kids. You should get some sleep. Goodnight."
Chloe hung up the phone.
Harrison and Roxanne were still going at it.
The hot spring water was gentlypping around them in the steamy air.
Waves after waves, peaking and then falling, then peaking again, just like Harrison and Roxanne at
that moment.
A good ten minutester, the water finally calmed down.
Roxanne was snuggled up against Harrison''s shoulder like a littlemb.
Her legs were lifted by Harrison and rested on his firm waist.
The warm and gentle water waspping at their bodies, seeping through the spaces between their
close bodies.
Roxanne''s body gradually rxed. Opening her eyes, she looked at the strapping man in front of her,
"You can put me down now, right?"
Instead of letting go, he leaned in and gave her a soft kiss.
She smiled and said, "Holding me like this, aren''t your arms getting tired?"
"Doubting my strength?" Harrison held her even tighter.
Actually, it was quite effortless to hold her in the water due to buoyancy.
Harrison enjoyed holding her in this way, with her whole body leaning against his.
He kissed her wet ear again, "What a wonderful night."
It was indeed a wonderful night for Roxanne.
Maybe when they get old and reminisce about their youthful craziness, she wouldugh about how wild
she was.
She thought life with Harrison, a steady and serious man, would be methodical and uneventful.
However, Harrison led her into a beautiful and romantic married life.
She wrapped her arms around his neck and gave a sweet smile, "Harrison, we didn''t use protection
both times. I calcted my ovtion days, and it''s around now. With your prowess, I might be
pregnant, right?"
"Do I really rock your world?" Harrison felt a bit proud beingplimented.
What man didn''t like being praised by his woman?
Harrison was pleased but maintained his calm demeanor as he said, "Wait till you see what''sing
next."
