The Windfalls of Love (Roxanne and Harrison)

Chapter 248

Divorce was something that would cause him relentless spasms of pain.

Despite being the wealthiest man in Seraphim Haven, having a successful career, he made a mess of

his marriage. And to top it all, it was his own doing.

This was indeed fodder for Dominic's mockery.

Dominic said brusquely, “Harrison, you have no one to blame but yourself for not cherishing Roxanne.”

The next day, Roxanne got up early.

Last night, Harrison unexpectedly proposed remarriage, and Dominic expressed his intentions to

pursue her again.

She was unable to sleep in the beginning.

But after working non-stop for over thirty hours, she was exhausted.

She slept until ten o'clock the next day.

The first WhatsApp message she saw upon waking was from Harrison: Call me when you wake up.

Harrison was a man she found quite hard to figure out.

When he was cold and unfeeling, he was capable of metaphorically stabbing her without a second

thought.

But when he intended to get anything he desired, he could really be thick-skinned.

He had ended things so cleanly back then.

And yet he had the audacity to pretend nothing had happened now.

Looking at the WhatsApp message from Harrison, Roxanne was filled with mixed emotions.

Was he serious about remarrying?

If they got back together and ran into disagreements or emotional turmoil, would Harrison block and

delete her again?

Would he support her career?

And many other questions would surely pop up in the future.

She was afraid that if she agreed to remarry Harrison, she would fall deeper this time. If she got hurt

again, would she be able to pick herself up?

After all that she'd been through, she felt like she had turned into a clam.

The harder the exterior, the softer the interior.

Only by tightly shutting her feelings out could she protect herself.

But this self-protection was not healthy.

She knew this.

After waking up, she sat on her bedside, thinking calmly for over an hour, and finally had an answer in

her mind.

She quickly got up, washed her face, brushed her teeth, and tidied herself up.

Then she called Harrison.

Harrison's car was parked outside her factory.

A Lincoln.

It stood out quite remarkably on the oil road of the industrial area.

When Roxanne's call came in, he answered almost immediately, “You awake?”

Hearing his voice still made her nervous.

Roxanne took a deep breath, trying to keep her composure, “Where are you? We need to talk.”

“I'm outside your factory gate. The black Lincoln with extra length, do you want to come down? Or

should I come up to your dorm?”

“I'll go down.”

But it was colder than yesterday.

Roxanne wore a thick down jacket, her slender and tall figure hidden within the bloated coat.

But she still looked bright and charming.

Despite being dressed in a clumsy way, she looked spruce.

Just like the first time he saw her.

As Harrison, leaning against the car door, walked towards her, he asked, “Just got up?”

“Hmm, still a bit tired.” Roxanne, in the freezing cold, rubbed her icy hands.

“Let me warm them for you.” Harrison grabbed her hand, his large palm easily enveloping her small

ones.

Truth be told, Roxanne quite liked this feeling.

Being cared for, being considered, being pampered.

Before Harrison, Roxanne thought she would possibly get married.

But it would be to a man she could live her life with.

And it wouldn’t involve fervent affection.

Harrison suddenly barged into her life, by deceiving her.

In spite of that, she fell in love with him.

He was too exceptional.

She didn't think she would fall for him so easily.

It was this love that made her scared, scared to lose him.

But she couldn't stop charging forward because of fear, could she?

She couldn't live in cowardice forever.

Just like now, Harrison was holding her hand tightly, and she was glad.

She clearly liked this feeling, so why she would reject it?

Life is short, living in the moment was what mattered most.

And their previous marriage had many problems. There wasn't enough communication and mutual

understanding, but these were things that could be worked on and cultivated in the future.

Standing in the cold snow, she pulled her hand back and tucked it into her bag.

She stated without hesitation, “Harrison, I've seriously considered what you said last night. I've made

up my mind and I think it's only fair that I give you an answer.”

Harrison felt a sudden churn in his stomach.

His back was rigid.

Despite the snow, a cold sweat broke out on his back.

He looked at her seriously, wanting to hear her answer yet fearing it, “You've decided so quickly. Is it

your genuine desire?”

“Harrison, let me finish what I have to say.”

Harrison listened nervously.

“I'm willing to get back together with you, but not remarry. We should get to know each other again,

build our relationship from scratch. The condition is, you can't make me a full-time wife again I must

have my own career.”

A lasting love and marriage lay in that the couple remained equal.

She knew that no matter how hard she tried, she would never be able to match him in wealth and

power.

But at least, she could be a bit more independent.

She could love him with dignity.

Not be dependent on him.

“Harrison, you don't have to rush to answer whether you support my career or not. Take your time to

think about it. Consider carefully whether you can accept a woman who values her career as your wife.

Of course, I understand you. With your status as the richest man in Seraphim Haven, you don't need

your wife to work. Let alone running a small business that doesn't seem important. But the small

business in your eyes is my life's work. I think you’d better re-consider it.”

With that, Roxanne checked her phone.

“In two hours, I have to take a flight back to Seraphim Haven to see a client. Contact me when you've

made up your mind. If you still don't support my career, you don't need to contact me anymore.”

She said these words with apparent ease.

But her heart was in turmoil.

She was scared.

Scared that Harrison still wouldn't support her career, that he would disturb her peacefulness, that after

giving her a glimmer of hope, he then would push her into the dark abyss.

Not wanting to show him her vulnerability, she quickly turned to leave.

Harrison immediately grabbed her arm, "Roxanne, I don't need to think about it. I agree. From now on,

do whatever you want, as long as you don't mention leaving me."

She hadn't expected him to reply so quickly.

She was incredulous.

After all, he was the richest man in Seraphim Haven, and his woman really didn't need to do any

business.

She looked at him with doubt.

His eyes, filled with softness and brightness, met hers.

"Roxanne, the days after our divorce have been worse for me than for you. Everything I ate was

tasteless, everything I did felt like I'm just a robot fulfilling tasks. Without you, I'm not happy."

Apparently, admitting that he loved her extremely much, wasn't so difficult after all.
