Chapter 209
Harrison nailed it.
That day, Roxanne was discharged from the hospital.
Harrison arranged a private jet to fly her back to Seraphim Haven for some much-needed R&R.
At the airport, as they walked down the transparent jet bridge, a giant plane was parked right in front of
them.
Harrison held her hand, saying, "That's our ride."
Roxanne asked, "It’s just us two on this big plane?"
"Well, to be precise, we're not passengers. This is our plane; we own it." Harrison flashed a grin.
Even though Roxanne knew he was the richest dude in Seraphim Haven and knew that he had his own
private jet, she was still totally blown away when she saw this beast of a plane parked right in front of
her, ready to serve only her and Harrison.
She came from the sticks, worked her tail off to save money, and after struggling for more than a
decade, she could barely afford the down payment on a house. Who would have thought she'd be
stepping onto a private jet one day?
And this luxury jet belonged to her hubby.
She wouldn't even dare dream about such things before.
Even those authors who love to write about domineering CEOs might not have the guts to write this.
This incredibly awesome thing was actually happening to her.
Gradually, she got used to Harrison's status as the big cheese.
She felt like she had hit the jackpot.
They walked from the jet bridge to the cabin entrance.
"Mr. Rodriguez, Mrs. Rodriguez, welcome aboard. The entire crew is ready for takeoff and at your
service."
Harrison nodded, and Roxanne followed suit.
After entering the cabin, they found it was a double-decker plane.
Roxanne couldn't help but ask, "What kind of plane is this? It even has two floors?!"
The flight attendant smiled and answered her. "Mrs. Rodriguez, this is an Airbus A380, the big kahuna
of the skies. The upper deck has a lounge, a meeting room, and a dining area, while the lower deck
houses a gym and a game room."
"A gym on a plane?" Roxanne was flabbergasted.
Her humble background had really limited her imagination.
Harrison gave her a quick tour and then led her directly to the lounge.
"You just had a miscarriage, so you need to take it easy." He led her to the bed and turned to close the
curtains.
Roxanne quickly grabbed his arm. "Harrison, what about you?"
"I'm not going anywhere." Harrison turned back. "I'm staying with you."
After takeoff, Roxanne lay next to Harrison. She was dead tired, but she just couldn't fall asleep.
She used to fly coach, and now that she was the wife of the richest guy in town, she could enjoy rides
on this luxury private jet.
Everything felt like a dream.
She was still a bit restless and insecure.
Only when she snuggled against Harrison and felt his heartbeat did she feel a little bit better.
"What's up?" Harrison rubbed her head. Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
"Nothing. I just want to sleep next to you." She didn't mention her anxiety and insecurity.
"Well, get some sleep then." He stroked her head again.
Harrison brought Roxanne back to Seraphim Haven and arranged for her to stay in his villa.
He wanted her to rest and recuperate.
After hearing about Roxanne's miscarriage, Vincent was worried sick.
He was afraid to disturb Roxanne's rest, so he didn't come to see her right away. But he sent over all
kinds of nutritional supplements, not missing a beat.
Finally, after a week, he came to see her.
He tried to comfort her.
"Anne, don't blame yourself. Although we lost the baby, you two are still young, so there's plenty of time
to get pregnant again. The most important thing now is for you to get well."
Roxanne sat on the couch, looking at Vincent.
Vincent cared for her and looked after her even more than her own father.
She had always thought Vincent was a charming man; he was no doubt a hunk in his youth, but she
never imagined that he was the chairman of the Rodriguez Group.
"Dad, remember when we encountered a wolf attack in Marientown? Why didn't you tell me then that
you were the chairman of the Rodriguez Group?"
Back then, they shared a lot of heart-to-heart conversations.
Everything he said in that life-or-death situation seemed exceptionally sincere.
But he never mentioned his background.
He said, "I was covered in dust and looked like a beggar. Even if I told you, you might not have
believed me."
Roxanne nodded. "Dad, I'll take good care of myself. Once I recover, I'll try to give you a beautiful
granddaughter as soon as possible."
She knew Vincent had a soft spot for little girls.
But the gender of the baby depended on the male chromosome.
Vincent told her to take it easy. "No rush. Although I really want a granddaughter, you're my daughter-
in-law; you’re not a baby-making machine. The most important thing is your health."
Roxanne was moved to tears.
It felt like she had used up all her luck to marry into this family.
Vincent handed her a tissue to wipe her tears.
She dried her eyes and spoke with a smile, “Dad, I bet you must have spoiled your wife rotten. She
must have been treated like a queen when she was pregnant with Harrison.”
Vincent said seriously, “You will be treated like a queen as well. Now that you’re married to Harrison,
you must enjoy all the perks."
Vincent stayed for the day and then prepared to leave.
He stood by the car, talking to Harrison. "Roxanne is recuperating. You need to control yourself. No
hanky-panky for forty days, got it?"
Harrison frowned. "I know how to behave myself."
Vincent said sternly, "Even if you do, I still need to remind you. Don't think I don't know how Roxanne
had the miscarriage. I haven't blamed you yet."
Harrison frowned. "You're really well-informed. You even know what happened in Warmville."
Vincent told him sternly. "No more of this nonsense, got it?"
"Please drive the chairman home and be careful on the road." Harrison instructed the driver and then
turned back towards the villa.
After returning to her bedroom, Roxanne took a bath and stepped out of the bathroom.
She was wrapped up tightly, revealing only her neck.
Harrison stared at her neck for a while, appreciating its beauty.
As Roxanne walked towards him, he took big strides to meet her, extending his long arm to hold her
slender waist tightly.
"You smell so good." Harrison said as he kissed her hair.
She looked up at him and frowned. "What smell?"
"I think it smells good." Harrison held her close. His eyes were closed, seemingly savoring the moment.
"I have to wait 32 more days to touch you. It's really hard to wait..."
