Chapter 89
Harrison was so ridiculously tall.
Roxanne had to stand on her tiptoes just to hug him. There was a sale going on in the store and she
saved quite a buck. She was so thrilled that she didn't even think twice about hugging him.
However, she didn't feel embarrassed at all. All she wanted was to share her joy with Harrison.
But this time, Harrison definitely got to experience what they call a shock from head to toe. When
Roxanne hugged him, it felt like his blood froze for a moment, and his whole body felt numb. He felt
somewhat immobilized.
Seeing Harrison's stiff reaction, Roxanne thought he didn't like it. After all, last time when they had a bit
of drink, he seemed rather reluctant when she gave him a peck.
Roxanne quickly pulled back, "I'm sorry, I was just so happy that I wanted to hug you."
"You're this happy just because you got a freebie?" Harrison lightly tapped her head, "You're so easily
pleased."
Roxanne rubbed the spot where he tapped, "Harrison, it was a lot of money, not just a few bucks.
Anyone would be thrilled."
"Alright, let's go home." Harrison said.
At this point, Roxanne had already stepped away from his embrace, and Harrison no longer felt that
faint current coursing through his body. He realized that he could control his body again. He took
Roxanne's hand, ready to head home.
He felt a bit of regret. Those few seconds when she hugged him, he savored the feeling as they
walked, he didn't exactly dislike it.
But he knew his limits. He knew how to control himself.
Once they got home, Harrison called Vincent alone, "Dad, I have good news and bad news, which one
do you want to hear first?"
"Well, I'd definitely choose the bad news first." Vincent said.
"The bad news is that your 70th birthday party might have to be canceled." Harrison said.
"Why would you cancel my birthday party? I've already sent out the invitations. I've even invited many
important people from the political and business circles. You didn't forget to arrange my birthday party,
did you? I told you to do it a long time ago." Vincent said.
"What if I told you that your Roxanne found out about your birthday in a few days and she wants to
celebrate it for you?" Harrison asked.
"What, Roxanne actually knows my birthday. Did she see my ID? I left it on the coffee table last time."
Vincent said.
"Yes." Harrison admitted.
"I didn't expect Roxanne to be so attentive. It seems like this is indeed good news. Harrison, you don't
need to arrange my birthday party anymore. Since my Roxanne wants to spend my birthday with me,
I'll just be with you guys this year." Vincent made the decision without hesitation, "Harrison, just cancel
the birthday party, I'll personally call the guests and tell them not to come."
"Wouldn't that offend people?" Harrison frowned.
Vincent said happily, "No worries, those guests are nowhere as important as my Roxanne."
Harrison said indifferently, "Your Roxanne indeed holds the most weight in your heart."
Vincent confidently said, "Of course."
Harrison continued, "Your Roxanne had a birthday present for you. But you might need to be prepared,
because you might not like it."
Vincent immediately retorted, "What are you talking about? Even if Roxanne gave me a blade of grass,
I would treasure it."
Soon, Vincent's birthday arrived. Harrison had told Roxanne that he was born and raised in Seraphim
Haven, and his home was in a rural area just outside of this place.
Roxanne originally planned to take a day off and return to the countryside to celebrate Vincent's
birthday. This way, she could also see what the place where Harrison grew up was like. She had never Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
been to Harrison's childhood home.
But Harrison couldn't find the village, so he made up an excuse saying it was not convenient to go
back. He told Roxanne that he had brought Vincent over early in the morning. In fact, he just brought
Vincent over from their mansion.
Of course, Roxanne didn't know. She was busy in the kitchen. She got up early and made a cake
herself, and now she was preparing all sorts of delicious food.
Vincent was very happy, especially when Roxanne gave him his birthday present during dinner. He
couldn't stop smiling.
It was a men's ring from their store.
He raised an eyebrow. They had thousands of stores nationwide, but Vincent had never worn any of
their jewelry. He didn't expect that Roxanne would buy him one now.
"Try it on and see if this ring fits." Roxanne said.
"The size is just right. This ring is designed very well, fashionable and beautiful. I'm sure I'll look
handsome with this ring." Vincent said.
"I think you look very handsome with it too. I’m glad you like it." Roxanne said.
Harrison next to them didn't say anything. He thought his father was exceptionally biased towards
Roxanne. His dad always thought the jewelry designs in their stores were outdated, now suddenly they
were fashionable? Apparently, gifts from Roxanne were different.
While Roxanne went to the fridge to get the cake she made in the morning, Vincent asked softly,
"Harrison, you didn't let her pay when Roxanne went to our store, did you?"
"Of course not." Harrison said. How could he let his own wife pay when she chose things from their
own store?
Vincent asked again in a low voice, "She didn't find out the truth, did she?"
Harrison told Vincent about how he let Roxanne get her stuff for free. Upon hearing this, Vincent was
very satisfied, "Not bad, you're really smart. You've learned how to keep your wife happy."
Speaking of keeping his wife happy, Harrison thought of Roxanne walking out of the store after buying
things. Because she was so happy, Roxanne stood on her tiptoes and hugged him.
Was this how Roxanne showed her happiness?
At this moment, Roxanne came out with the cake she made. The cake looked even better than the
ones bought from the market.
Vincent was very pleased, "Roxanne, your cake looks even better than the ones from the store. Have
you ever learned how to bake?"
Roxanne said while inserting candles, "If you take a bite, you'll find it tastier than the ones you buy
outside."
She continued, "I held many jobs before Chloe and I started our company, including being a pastry
chef. I'm pretty good at it."
Hearing that she had done a lot of work, Harrison's gaze softened for some reason. She must have
gone through a lot of setbacks and pain. A girl who was abandoned by her parents and had to drop out
of school to work, how good could her life have been?
He met her too late.
Roxanne spoke sweetly, "Happy birthday, and stay healthy. In every coming year, Harrison and I will
celebrate your birthday and make you happy."
Vincent's eyes filled with tears. He was moved. He nodded, "Thank you, Roxanne. On your future
birthdays, Harrison and I will also celebrate for you."
Tears also filled Roxanne's eyes. From now on, she had a home, and she had a loving husband,
Vincent.
Also, she had a nice husband who had a stable job, was willing to work hard to earn money even if he
went bankrupt, and was willing to bear the financial pressure and various housework of the family.
In the future, the family could happily celebrate birthdays together. She would never be alone again.
