The Windfalls of Love (Roxanne and Harrison)

Chapter 240

What an ungrateful man.

Dominic was instantly riled up, "What do you mean by that?"

"Marriage isn't a child's play, it's not a game where you can leave and return as you please," Harrison

retorted with a dark expression.

"So, you're suggesting that you're not going to actively pursue a reconciliation with Roxanne, that you

won’t try to win her back?" Dominic wasn’t foolish; he could read the hidden meaning.

Harrison replied coldly, "That's none of your business."

With that, he turned and left.

Dominic was tempted to charge at him for another round, to give this presumptuous man a piece of his

mind.

He had underestimated the ruthless and cold-hearted nature of a capitalist.

It appeared that even marriage could be treated as a business transaction, once abandoned, it was Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

truly abandoned.

Dominic felt like he had misjudged him.

Roxanne would have been better of marrying an ordinary man in the first place.

Capitalists were indeed capitalists; they could be heartless and ruthless when the time came.

A few days later, on a hot summer day, Roxanne returned to her office after an errand.

Entering the office from the sweltering outdoors, the rush of cold air made she felt uncomfortable.

She was shivering!

Her health condition was not that good after the miscarriage.

She quickly put on the coat hanging in her office.

As she sat down, her phone rang.

It displayed an unfamiliar number.

When she answered it, she heard Vincent's voice, "Roxanne, it's been over half a month since you last

called me."

Roxanne hadn't told Vincent that the last time she tried to call him, she found that her number had been

found blocked.

When Chloe was kidnapped by Dino, she tried to reach Vincent's.

But the call couldn’t get through.

She was certain it wasn't Vincent who blocked her number.

It had to be Harrison who had taken Vincent's phone and blocked her.

"By the way, why did you change your number?" Vincent had asked Chloe, and finally he got her new

number.

Roxanne didn't tell Vincent that she had lost her phone in the abandoned building.

She simply said, "Oh, the old SIM card got damaged, so I got a new one. Dad, I've been a bit busy

lately, I'll come to see you soon."

When she said soon, it was just a casual statement.

Vincent had treated her well.

But he was still Harrison's father.

It was best to keep their meetings infrequent.

"Don't put it off. Come and see me at the mansion tomorrow."

"Tomorrow?"

"Roxanne, Did you forget? Tomorrow is my birthday."

After a moment of thought, she remembered and felt sorry, "Dad, I'm really sorry, I forgot your birthday."

"It's alright, it's alright. I'm just alone. It's lonely. I wish you could come back and have a meal with me,

it's been a long time since we had a proper meal together."

In reality, Vincent wasn't lonely.

Although his partner had passed away a long time ago, he had many people to keep him company.

He could play chess with his old friends, go golfing, and even take care of the pigs, cows, chickens and

ducks with his farm workers.

His days was quite fulfilling.

He had deliberately found an excuse to meet Roxanne.

In reality, it was also to bring his son and Roxanne back together.

He said in a pitiful tone, "It's fine. If you're busy, just continue with your work. I can cut the cake by

myself and celebrate my birthday alone, it'll just be a bit lonely. If you don’t come back, Harrison won’t

either."

"Dad!" Roxanne asked, "Harrison won’t keep you company tomorrow?"

"Him?" Vincent started to emulate his son's lying skill, pretending to be angry, "Since you two divorced,

he's been as busy as a robot, and hardly at home. It's been so long since he last visited me. He has to

fly abroad tomorrow."

"Oh, I see."

After their divorce, it seemed like Harrison was unaffected.

He continued to jet around the world and remained the prosperous billionaire CEO of Seraphim Haven.

It seemed that divorce didn't affect him much.

Roxanne didn't know whether she should be happy or sad.

"Dad, is Harrison really not going home tomorrow?" She asked again to confirm.

"Don't worry, I know you might feel awkward meeting after the divorce, so I wouldn't lie to you. Harrison

really has to fly abroad for business tomorrow."

"Alright, I'll come back early tomorrow to be with you."

Early the next morning, Roxanne got up to bake a cake.

She put it in the fridge to chill and planned to retrieve it later.

Then she went to the mall to pick out a set of clothes for Vincent.

He had no shortage of clothing but she thought he would be delighted with a set of clothes from her.

It was a way to show her appreciation.

She couldn't afford the high-priced options in the tens of thousands or even millions.

The very affordable choices just didn't make the cut.

In the end, Roxanne bought a sport outfit that cost around two thousand for Vincent.

She also saw a white t-shirt with great design and style.

She thought it would look great on Harrison.

After a moment of hesitation, Roxanne bought it as well.

She went back to pick up the cake and then hailed a taxi to Vincent's Rodriguez Oasis Estates.

Vincent greeted her cheerfully at the door, "I knew you would bake a cake for me, I've been craving

your cake for a year."

"Dad!" Roxanne glanced upstairs and asked, "Harrison isn't home, is he?"

Vincent felt a little guilty.

He felt guilty whenever he lied.

He didn't dare meet Roxanne's eyes, and instead, he focused on the cake instead, "He's not home,

don't worry, I wouldn't lie to you."

But Harrison would be home soon.

That's why Vincent was feeling guilty.

Roxanne let out a relieved smile, "Dad, I bought you a set of clothes, see if you like it. It's not a big

brand, I hope you won't mind."

"I couldn't be happier. Let me go try it on."

Vincent quickly went to try on the clothes.

"It fits perfectly. Roxanne, don't I look much younger in this outfit?"

Roxanne laughed, "It's because you're naturally youthful."

"Come here, come here, Lily." Vincent called to Lily who was serving coffee, "Look at the clothes

Roxanne bought me. Don't they look good?"

Lily set down her tea, "Vincent, you look so much younger in this outfit Ma’am bought for you. It seems

like you've shaved ten years off your age."

"Really?" Vincent praised, "My daughter-in-law sure has a good sense of fashion."

As Lily poured some more coffee, she continued with enthusiasm, "Indeed, Ma’am does have a good

taste."

Roxanne felt a bit embarrassed hearing this.

She quickly reminded them, "Dad, Lily, I'm already divorced from Harrison. Lily, just call me by my

name, not 'Ma’am'"

It felt a bit bittersweet.

She hadn't quite adapted to her role as Mrs. Rodriguez before her divorce from Harrison.

Her sadness might left Lily and Vincent feeling somewhat wistful, and they all fell silent.

Roxanne took out another piece of clothing and handed it to Vincent, "Dad, I bought this T-shirt for

Harrison. He always wears shirts and seems to have just a few t-shirts, so I bought him one. When he

comes back, can you give it to him? But don't tell him I bought it."

"If he knew it was from you, he would be thrilled," Vincent knew his son well. The more indifferent he

seemed on the outside, the more passionately loves on the inside.

Roxanne gave a bitter smile, "Dad, seriously, don't tell him. Otherwise, he might refuse to wear it."

As they were discussing this, a Rolls-Royce slowly pulled into the garage downstairs.

Harrison got out and took the elevator straight up to the living room.

As the elevator dinged, signaling its arrival in the living room.

Roxanne turned her head towards the sound.
