The Windfalls of Love (Roxanne and Harrison)

Chapter 249

Spilling it out, he felt a surge of relief.

“Yeah, without you, I’ve been anything but happy.”

His voice was low and pained, laced with endless self-mockery.

Harrison nodded slightly.

As if acknowledging his innermost feelings.

Not wanting to lie to Roxanne anymore, let alone to himself.

He joked again, “Really, since you left, I haven’t been happy at all.”

In the frosty and snowy landscape, he looked at Roxanne with intense affection.

Even just laying his eyes on her like this, gave him a sense of reassurance.

It was as if he had been lost in a foggy forest for a long time, and seeing her, he finally found his

direction.

“Roxanne, from now on, do whatever makes you happy. I won’t force you anymore.”

As Roxanne listened, she began to cry.

She had never imagined that for her sake, Harrison could be so empathetic.

Harrison reached out to wipe away her tears.

As he did so, she held onto his hand and smiled.

And then, she began to cry again.

“Harrison, you’re the richest man in Seraphim Haven, and yet here you are, humbling yourself for an

ordinary woman. Is it really worth it?”

“And you?” Harrison flicking her nose, “After how I treated you, don’t you hate me?”

Roxanne, lifting her head, shook it.

Smiling and crying all at once.

“No, I don’t.”

She understood.

He was the wealthiest man in Seraphim Haven.

Putting in his shoes, his wife shouldn’t be out there, dealing with business.

He could provide her with a life of luxury and privilege.

She didn’t need to work so hard to earn money.

They had just lacked communication before.

Harrison looked at her, “Forgiving me so easily, aren’t you afraid I’ll hurt you again?”

“No!”

Roxanne buried herself deeper into Harrison’s chest.

Her voice was firm, but it softened into a whisper.

“I’m not afraid!”

“You proposed the remarriage.”

“But I agreed after careful consideration. It was my choice.”

Everyone should be responsible for their own choices.

Whether the outcome was good or bad, she didn’t want to think about it.

She just wanted to live in the moment.

But truthfully, she was really frightened.

Frightened that if she opened her heart again, she might get hurt even deeper.

The more scared she was, the tighter she held onto Harrison.

As if fearing she might lose him, she held on even tighter.

Holding onto his broad shoulders, she could feel his masculine strength.

In his arms, she cried a lot, "Harrison, let's live happily ever after."

Feeling a bit melodramatic.

Remarriage is supposed to be a good thing, so why was she crying?

Lifting her head, she wiped her tears and smiled.

“All right, Harrison, I need to catch my flight soon. We can prepare for our remarriage when we get

back to Seraphim Haven.”

“I’ll go with you to the airport.” Harrison wiped away the tears on her cheeks.

She asked, “Are you also heading back to Seraphim Haven? But I think my flight is fully booked.”

“Did you forget we have a private jet?” Harrison flicking her nose again.

“Oh right, you have a private jet.”

“Do you need to go upstairs to pack?”

“No need, there’s everything in Seraphim Haven.”

They both headed to the airport.

As they got into the car, their bodyguard, Jackson, opened the door for Roxanne, “Mrs. Rodriguez.”

“I’m not his wife yet.” It’s only after she and Harrison get married again, would she be Mrs. Rodriguez.

So, she corrected him seriously.

Jackson, thinking she was still holding onto past issues, quickly explained, “Mrs. Rodriguez, it wasn’t

me who blocked and deleted your number on WhatsApp. I was forced to do it.”

Roxanne shot Harrison a glare, “I know it was your boss. But it’s okay, I’ve forgiven him already, so

don’t worry about it. Just continue doing good job with Mr. Harrison.”

Roxanne patted Jackson on his shoulder and got into the limousine.

On their way to the airport, she was appreciating the snowy landscape.

Maybe it was because she was in a good mood.

But today’s snow was the most beautiful she had ever seen in her 29 years of life.

Looking out, everything was covered in a blanket of white.

The land of Warmville shrouded in mist and snow.

It was breathtakingly splendid.

Harrison held Roxanne’s hand, “If dad knew we are getting back together, he would be extremely

happy.”

“We are not officially back together yet.”

Roxanne pulled her hand back, “Whether we become a married couple depends on your future

performance.”

Harrison pretended to be upset, “Seems like I still have to work on it!”

Before boarding.

Chloe sent a message on WhatsApp. [You must be boarding soon, right? I’ll pick you up in two hours.]

Roxanne replied. [Not necessary, I’ll be going with Harrison.]

Chloe replied. [Harrison?????]

Roxanne. [Chloe, I have some good news for you.]

Chloe replied. [Don’t tell me, you and Harrison are back together?]

Roxanne responded. [Surprised?]

Chloe messaged. [That doesn’t make sense. The good news you’re supposed to tell me is that you’ve

agreed to give Dominic another chance. Now this?]

Chloe knew that Dominic went to see Roxanne the day before.

She had thought that these two could rekindle their feelings toward each other, but it turned out that the

person Roxanne was getting back with was Harrison?

Chloe. [Hasn’t Harrison hurt you enough? He’s still the richest man in Seraphim Haven, standing high

above us. You two are from different worlds. Aren’t you afraid of falling back into that same situation

from which you may never recover?]

Roxanne replied. [But I love Harrison. Just because I’m scared, doesn’t mean I should stop loving.]

Chloe. [What about Dominic then?]

Roxanne. [Dominic and I broke up over eight years ago. Our story ended back then.]

Chloe. [no matter what, I always hope that you find your happiness.]

On the plane.

Roxanne looked at her best friend's heartfelt words on her phone and then switched it off.

The plane soared high over ten thousand meters.

She gazed at the fluffy clouds outside, at the sunlight piercing through the clouds, turning everything

into a golden splendour.

Roxanne felt a bit lost.

What exactly is happiness?

She didn't know. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

Why should she obsess over it?

Life is merely a short span of thirty thousand days or so.

And that's assuming a peaceful death, without any sudden illness, any accidents, reaching a full count

of those thirty thousand days.

A sudden illness, an unexpected accident, and people might not even have the chance to say goodbye

to the world before their eyes close forever.

If she missed her chance with Harrison, and one day saw him marrying someone else, she would

undoubtedly regret it.

At least now, there were no regrets.

During her time alive, she should strive to live, to love, perhaps that was what happiness meant.

She didn't want to leave any regrets in life.

So even when the plane was soaring high in the sky, when Harrison passionately kissed her in the

plane's rest area, she didn't resist.

Instead, she clung tightly to Harrison's back.

Letting him guide her, basking in the indulgence of pleasure and passion.

What was happiness?

It was this moment, being under the man she loved, in an endless surge of excitement and great

pleasure.
