Chapter 233
Chapter 233
Seraphim Haven was boiling hot in the summer.
After a busy day until past eight in the evening, Roxanne and Chloe grabbed a couple of combo meals
at a roadside diner, indulging in the food.
Due to the heat, Roxanne was chugging down soup when her phone rang.
Seeing that it was Vincent calling, she put down her soup bowl, her face turning serious.
Did Vincent know about her divorce with Harrison?
She had been planning to tell Vincent herself, but felt guilty and Harrison had said he'd tell Vincent, so
she had been avoiding contact with Vincent.
She picked up the call, and Vincent said he wanted to meet up and asked where she was.
She told him she was at a diner near the neighborhood, and after asking for the detailed address, he
arrived in a matter of minutes.
A stretch limo pulled up at the corner of the diner, looking out of place in the bustling environment.
The patrons, passersby, and people from other stores all gave the limo a second glance.
Why would such a luxurious car be in a place like this?
Roxanne quickly wiped her mouth and got up to greet him, "Dad!"
Chloe also came forward, "Mr. Vincent."
Vincent nodded at Chloe and kindly said, "Chloe, Roxanne and I have something to discuss."
"Sure, you guys go ahead. I'm going to pick up Aria."
Vincent asked about Chloe and the kid for a bit, then said goodbye to Chloe, and pulled Roxanne into
his car.
"Drive." The driver started the car.
Sitting next to Vincent, Roxanne felt extremely guilty, "Dad, you know about my divorce with Harrison,
right?"
Her mood was low, her voice sounding weak.
Vincent let out a deep sigh, "Roxanne, I'm really relieved and happy that you can still call me Dad. I
really consider you my daughter." His eyes welled up with tears as he spoke.
His son didn't know how to cherish such a good daughter.
"Dad, I'm sorry. I once promised to give you a cute granddaughter."
Her pregnancy was an accident, and so was the miscarriage.
Their child probably wasn't meant to be with them, it was fate.
"The one who should apologize is me. I didn't educate my son properly. He's too proud. He doesn't
understand or respect you."
"Roxanne, you're right. There's nothing wrong with wanting your own career. Harrison should respect
you. I'll have a talk with him when I get back, give him a chance to make amends, can you do that?"
"Dad, don't make me be with Harrison anymore, we're really not suitable."
Vincent looked very worried, "Anne, did you ever love my son? If you still love him, I promise to make
him apologize to you."
Roxanne gave a small laugh, "Love or not love. I'm not one to ask for much, just to live a peaceful and
stable life."
She didn't admit it, but Vincent knew she must love Harrison deeply. NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.
She was just trying to remove Harrison from her heart because she was hurt.
It was the same as when he met her eight years ago, when she was trying to get Dominic out of her
heart.
Vincent was disappointed in his son.
This time Roxanne had declared that she had given up, it would be very difficult for his son to win her
back.
"Dad. If I can't be your daughter-in-law, then let me be your daughter. Eight years ago, we went through
life and death together. We're already the closest of family. You wouldn't mind, right?"
"As long as you don't mind this old man who talks too much."
"Then it's settled, I'm your daughter from now on. I'll come visit you when I have time. But don't meddle
in my business with Harrison anymore. We're not from the same world, and we're not suitable as a
couple."
Sigh!
Vincent had so many words to say, but in the end, all that's left was a sigh.
They talked a lot, and in the end, Vincent had the driver drop Roxanne back home.
After parting with him, Roxanne went home, took a sleeping pill, and had a good sleep.
She woke up the next morning and a new day started.
Days passed like this, fulfilling and busy. Half a month went by.
Roxanne and Chloe finished their work at the company and it was already eight or nine in the evening.
They grabbed a couple of pasta dishes from a roadside stall for dinner.
Chloe was sending a voice message. [Alright, you take care too, eat on time, take care of yourself.] Her
voice sounded sweet.
"Who are you messaging? You're so concerned, is it Alexander?"
"Alexander and Dominic are going on a business trip abroad, Alexander told me if I need anything, I
can contact his secretary. He sent me the secretary's number."
"Oh."
"Anne, I think Alexander is much more reliable than Harrison. Even though you divorced Harrison, he
didn't look down on us, he still wants to take care of us. A man like this is worth dating. I used to tell
you, if you have feelings for Alexander, be brave and take the first step. But now I've changed my mind,
you should contact Alexander less. We, the lower class, can't get on their level."
"Alexander is not like Harrison. He respects women a lot, not like Harrison at all."
"So, do you really have feelings for Alexander?"
"I don't, we're just friends."
"I hope you don't make the mistake I have made."
"Don't compare Alexander with Harrison. Although they're both loaded, Alexander is way more down-
to-earth. He wouldn't pull a Harrison, wiping you and me off his radar after a divorce. That dude has got
no heart.”
“Is even this delicious spaghetti not enough to shut you up?”
After dinner, they both headed home.
Roxanne took a shower, dried her hair and picked up her phone.
A text message popped up. [We've got Chloe. If you don't want her being gang-raped by three guys,
bring the video to the designated place. No cops! If you call the cops, we're killing her!]
Roxanne immediately dialed a number.
“Anne, don't come! They're after you, stay away.” Chloe's panicked voice came through, making
Roxanne's heart tighten like a guitar string.
Then Chloe's voice was replaced by a man's.
“Roxanne, if you don't come, I'll have my guys rape your friend and upload the video online.”
“Dino, you've got some nerve!”
“I learned from the best.”
The call ended.
Roxanne's heart was about to snap, Chloe couldn't get hurt.
She needed help, and the first person she thought of was Harrison.
But she had long been blacklisted by Harrison, she couldn't get in touch with him at all.
She tried contacting his driver, Anthony, and his bodyguard, but they'd both blocked her too.
What a cold heart. Did Harrison want to cut off all contact with her?
For Chloe's sake, Roxanne swallowed her pride and went to Harrison's mansion.
In the past, as Harrison's wife, she could just walk right into his mansion.
The security guards and property managers would always treat her with respect.
This time, a few meters away, a guard stopped her, "I'm sorry, ma'am, you're not a resident here. You
can't approach. Please leave immediately."
Roxanne was frantic, "Sir, I used to live here. Don't you remember that? You even called me Mrs.
Rodriguez."
The tall guard answered coldly, "I remember, but Mr. Rodriguez has instructed that since you're
divorced, this property is not yours. If we see you, we can't let you in. Please forgive us."
"You're saying Harrison won't let me in?" Roxanne couldn't believe that Harrison could be so cold-
hearted, "Impossible, my ex-husband wouldn't be that heartless."
