The Windfalls of Love (Roxanne and Harrison)

Chapter 288

That man who held the room at the Business Conference, speaking with the confidence of a king,

suddenly seemed so humble, h

umble to the point of being dust.

As if holding her like this was a luxury he could hardly afford in life.

A pain he yearned for but couldn't possess.

Being able to hold her like this now.

For Harrison, it was precious.

As his nose brushed her cheek, his lips followed.

The fine lines on his lips, the breath in his nostrils, and a few stray hairs on his forehead, gently

touched her skin, reaching her side face.

Roxanne froze in that instant.

A numbness spread throughout her body.

Her body felt electrified.

The strength to resist was sucked away in an instant.

Her rigid body slowly softened, and the palm pushing against his chest paused.

The hardness in her heart was shattered.

The defenses she had built with pain crumbled so easily in front of Harrison.

She thought that in the three years since she gave birth, she had lost interest in relationships.

So during her relationship with Dominic, they never touched each other's skin.

Many times Dominic hinted, but she turned him down.

It turned out she wasn't uninterested.

She just had this kind of surrendering physical response only to Harrison.

"Roxanne! You still have feelings for me.

I can feel it."

Harrison's face was close to her ear.

The stiff little body in his arms suddenly became soft and tender.

That gave him some comfort.

In his pained eyes, a hint of a smile finally appeared.

"Harrison. You bastard!"

Roxanne yelled and stomped on his foot.

Her sharp high heels left a deep imprint on his impeccably clean leather shoes.

She took the opportunity to push him away, l

ooking at him in pain.

"Harrison, I hate you, I despise you."

Why torment her again?

If he didn't want her, didn't want Angela back then,

why come back to her now?

She'd rather Harrison be more cold-hearted, even more ruthless.

Seeing her as a stranger, with no connection, r

ather than him stirring her up like this.

Just let her go, can't they go their separate ways?

She ran away crying, w

ithout looking back.

Her slender, frail figure soon disappeared into the dim underground parking garage.

There was no sound.

The sound-activated light went out.

Harrison's tall and straight figure was shrouded in darkness.

His heart was also shrouded in darkness.

He stood there helplessly.

His tall and straight figure seemed a bit decadent.

Until a resident of the building parked a few meters away and got out.

Then he drove away, heartbroken.

Roxanne hid in the dark corner of the stairwell and cried for a while.

She cried until she started shaking.

She hated herself, h

ated her own incompetence.

She, who could always let go of everything, was so incompetent that she couldn't let go of a man.

She also hated her own greed and selfishness.

Knowing she couldn't forget, but still bringing Dominic into her life.

She could have refused Dominic.

But she didn't.

She was so selfish, so shameless, so despicable, so painful, and so helpless.

If people's emotions could end just by saying so, without any lingering or entanglement, wouldn't that

be nice?

She sat in the dark corner of the staircase, trying to control her terrible emotions.

She wiped her tears, s

traightened out her clothes.

It was only after more than twenty minutes that she went back.

Dominic was standing in front of the kitchen counter in the open kitchen.

When he saw her, he hurried over to take her bag, took a pair of flat slippers out of the shoe cabinet,

and placed them in front of her.

"Change your shoes quickly. The noodles has clumped together, so I just made you a new bowl."

Then he turned around and went to the kitchen counter.

He put the cooked noodles in a bowl for her.

He added her favorite vegetables t

hen he added a spoonful of red pepper sauce.

And poured the sour and spicy soup into the bowl, covering the noodles.

The whole house was filled with the sour and spicy aroma that Roxanne loved.

Her nose suddenly felt sour and bitter.

Her throat tightened.

She wanted to cry.

She stood there, "Dominic, let's get our marriage certificate tomorrow."

She had made up her mind.

She couldn't let such a good man down.

She should stick with Dominic and live a good life.

To disappoint him would be a sin.

At the kitchen counter, Dominic, holding the noodles, froze.

He stood there, still for a few seconds.

Roxanne looked at his back, her voice choked, "Dominic, I've thought about it, I accept your proposal."

She couldn't be affected by Harrison anymore.

She had to return to her former decisiveness and resolution.

"Dominic, let's get the certificate tomorrow.

Let's be the first ones in line to get the paperwork done.

Then let's leave Seraphim Haven and live in another city, okay?

You once said that you like Wye City. Let's move to Wye City, buy a house there and settle down.

Then let's give Angela a little sister."

After getting the marriage certificate, she would live with Dominic, n

o more running away.

Dominic, who was still holding the noodles, slowly turned around.

Before turning around, he hid his sadness, h Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

idden so well.

Then he smiled and brought a bowl of hot and fragrant noodles to the dining table.

Roxanne also walked over.

Dominic rubbed her head, "Are you sure you've thought it through?"

She nodded, "I've thought about it. After leaving Seraphim Haven, let's live together and live a stable

life, okay?"

Dominic pulled her to sit down.

He also sat down, "I just wanted you to think about it for three days, I didn't expect you to answer so

quickly."

"I don't need to think anymore."

She wiped away her tears.

Her eyes were firm.

"I've thought it through.

Dominic, I'm sorry for before, I wasn't a good girlfriend.

If I had persisted a little more when you tricked me into saying you fell for a rich girl when we were

twenty, I wouldn't have fallen for it.

I wouldn't have let you go abroad alone for treatment, let you endure so much pain alone.

Dominic, I'm really sorry."

She was just too selfish.

At that time, all she thought about was her own hurt.

When she thought she was in unbearable pain, trekking across the wilderness of the borderlands to

heal, wasn't Dominic also enduring a dual torture of body and mind?

If she had been stronger back then, she wouldn't have ended their love.

She could have stayed with Dominic until he recovered, and then they could have continued their life

together.

Perhaps they would even have children by now.

None of the later events would have happened.

She wouldn't have met Harrison, and she wouldn't be in such pain and confusion.

"Look at you, crying like a fountain." Dominic took a tissue, wiping the tears from her cheeks.

"Aren't we supposed to be happy about getting married? Stop crying. We can go get the license

tomorrow morning, okay?" A soft smile played on Dominic's lips, but deep down, he made an important

decision.

"Okay." Roxanne nodded, smiling.

Yes.

She should be happy.

She wiped away her tears, smiling, "Dominic, after we get the license, can we go to Wye City? Let's

settle down there after buying a house. We won't return to Seraphim Haven."

"Whatever you say." Dominic said with a smile, "From now on, you'll be the one calling the shots on

everything at home."

Tomorrow.

She's getting married.

She should be happy.

As a divorcee, a woman with a child, to be loved so dearly by Dominic, she should be content a

nd cherish it.

In life, many women, even on their first marriage, let alone their second, can't necessarily meet the

right man.

From now on, she wanted to live a good life with Dominic.
