The Windfalls of Love (Roxanne and Harrison) novel Chapter 150

Alexander hanged up.

Roxanne was in Harrison's arms, her eyebrows furrowed.

"Why's he so pissed off? Harrison, did you upset him again?"

"I have to head back." Harrison let go of her reluctantly.

Then he gently patted her on the head and said, "I'll tell you when I get back; don't be curious like a kid."

After watching him turn around to leave, Roxanne muttered to herself. "Too much curiosity isn't good either."

She was really curious about Alex. She really wanted to know what kind of person Alex was. Because Alex's voice sounded so much like Mr. Alexander's. She couldn't help but connect Alex and Mr. Alexander together.

But how could Harrison possibly be good friends with the vice president of the Rodriguez Group?

No way!

Absolutely not!

Harrison was right; she was as curious as a child.

Forty minutes later.

Harrison returned to the corporate building.

Alexander locked himself in his office, not allowing anyone in.

When Harrison arrived, Samuel followed, talking as they walked.

"Harrison, you better not go in. I'm worried that you guys will start fighting again."

"It's fine; we're still good friends no matter what."

"Harrison, what happened between you and Alexander? Can you tell me? Don't treat me like an outsider."

"This matter is better off known to fewer people."

It wasn't that he didn't consider Samuel a friend. But this was a matter of Alexander's dignity.

Besides, who would want their betrayal to be known to all?

Harrison firmly pushed open the door to Alexander's office.

Inside, Alexander sat tiredly in front of the sofa.

There were broken things all over the floor.

It was a mess.

It was clear that before he pushed open the door, Alexander had a big tantrum.

Samuel stood at the door, wanting to follow in, but was stopped by Harrison, "You go work; don't come in."

Then he closed the door and locked it.

"I've never seen you lose your temper like this in over twenty years." Harrison approached Alexander.

Alexander looked down at his own knees as he held his forehead. His whole body was filled with pain and melancholy.

Harrison sat down next to Alexander, patting his shoulder.

"If you want to drink, I'll join you. If you want to fight, I'm with you too. But don't be silent."

Alexander looked up, and Harrison saw that his eyes were bloodshot red.

He also patted Harrison's shoulder, "I'm sorry, I was too harsh on you on the phone just now. I shouldn't have yelled at you; I know you mean well."

Harrison didn't say anything. At this moment, he needed to quietly listen to Alexander speak.

Alexander gave a bitter smile, "Have you gone to see Hazel?"

"You know?" Harrison asked back, frowning.

Alexander was smart.

So it wasn’t unexpected that Alexander knew that he had gone to see Hazel and had found out some things about her.

Among their group of friends, Alexander was the smartest and sharpest.

How could he possibly be kept in the dark?

Harrison didn't know how to comfort him. After some thought, he said seriously. "Alexander, it's better to end the pain sooner rather than suffer in the long run."

"I don't understand what you're talking about." Alexander tried to deny the truth with a bitter smile, "I don't know anything."

Harrison wanted to say something more.

But Alexander stood up from the sofa, "That troublesome matter with Valeria, don't let Samuel handle it; I'll go. I've already bought the plane tickets."

After saying this, he left the office.

When he opened the door, Samuel, who had been eavesdropping at the door, almost bumped in.

Samuel originally thought that the two of them were going to fight again.

The way Alexander had urgently called Harrison back was as if he were calling him to fight.

But when the door opened, the two of them were fine. There was no fight.

Samuel was even more confused, "You guys are alright, aren't you?"

"Our friendship will last forever!" Alexander patted Samuel on the shoulder, not answering the question.

Samuel was even more at a loss.

What was going on?

Alexander patted Samuel on the shoulder again, "Samuel, isn't your father's birthday in a few days? Don't run off abroad; go home and celebrate with him properly, and mend your relationship with him while you're at it. I'll handle the matter with the Valeria Justice Department."

Samuel asked back, "Didn't we agree that I would go and you would accompany Hazel for her prenatal checkup?"

Alexander gave a bitter laugh, "What prenatal checkup?"

That bitter laugh was as if he were mocking himself.

Only Harrison understood.

After watching Alexander leave, Samuel looked at Harrison in confusion.

"Harrison, what's going on?"

Harrison's eyebrows furrowed, his face full of worry, "Perhaps he already knows everything. But he doesn't know how to face it."

"What does he know?" Samuel was completely confused.

"It's better if you don't know." Harrison patted Samuel on the shoulder.

Then he also left.

Leaving only Samuel, speaking to himself confusedly, "Do you guys really consider me a friend? You guys don't tell me anything."

An hour later.

At the airport.

Alexander sat in the first-class cabin of the plane.

He was originally planning to turn off his phone and fly abroad directly.

After some thought, he still sent a message to Hazel. "I'm going abroad for work."

Before, whenever he had to travel for work, he would definitely go home and tell Hazel personally.

But today, even sending this message felt somewhat ridiculous.

Hazel felt that something was off.

She called Alexander.

Alexander hadn't turned off his phone yet, so he saw the incoming call but decided to decline.

Then he decisively turned off his phone.

His emotions were as tangled as a mess of thread. He didn't know how to face Hazel.

Betrayal was like a sharp knife, piercing through his heart.

Even though he was sitting on a plane, he felt numb and clueless about what he was supposed to do or where the plane was heading. He was even more clueless about the direction his life should take.

Suddenly, the future seemed like a deserted city.

He couldn't even see the future.

When the plane arrived at its destination, Alexander turned on his phone.

Hazel's call came through immediately.

He hung up, texted her that he was busy, and asked her not to call him anymore.

Despite Hazel's continued attempts to reach him, he didn't pick up her calls.

It was like this for a whole week.

Hazel began to feel anxious, so she hurriedly called Nora.

"Nora, what should I do? Alexander is suddenly ignoring me; does he know about the things I've done to betray him?"

"How could he possibly know? Have you been meeting your other boyfriends and gotten caught by Alexander?"

Nora wished she could slap her sister.
