The Windfalls of Love (Roxanne and Harrison) novel Chapter 191

The next day, the weather cleared up.

The typhoon was also over.

Harrison bought a plane ticket for 10 in the morning, ready to head back to Seraphim Haven.

In the morning, Roxanne greeted him, saying that if she had time in the evening, she'd join him for dinner.

Then she asked him how many days of vacation he had left and how long he'd be staying here.

Before Harrison could answer, Roxanne received a call and rushed off.

It seemed like his presence in Warmville wasn't that important.

So, he decided to head back early.

People often say that the sweetness of a reunion after a period of separation was sweeter than a honeymoon. Maybe once he left, Roxanne would start to miss him.

But in reality, Harrison was overthinking it.

Before boarding, he texted Roxanne, telling her he was heading back to Seraphim Haven.

Roxanne didn't reply.

When 9 p.m. rolled around, Roxanne gave him a call.

"Harrison, I'm sorry, I can't join you for dinner tonight. How much longer are you staying here? I'll try to make time."

Harrison didn't answer.

At that moment, he was discussing matters with Alexander and Samuel.

Alexander and Samuel saw his expression suddenly turn gloomy.

Was it because Roxanne upset him?

They heard that this man drove for ten hours straight to Warmville to find Roxanne.

Only to be given the cold shoulder by Roxanne.

Seeing him return to Seraphim Haven with a crestfallen look made Alexander and Samuel even feel somewhat happy.

Who told him to always brag about his blissful married life before?

"Harrison, are you listening?" Roxanne on the phone asked.

"Didn't you see the message I sent you this morning?"

Harrison's face had clearly turned cold.

His lips were tightly pressed together.

Roxanne asked in confusion. "What message?"

She was too busy.

It was already 9 p.m., and she hadn't had dinner yet.

As soon as she finished her work, she called him immediately.

On the phone, Harrison seemed unhappy, so she tried to soothe him.

"Harrison, don't be angry. You know I've put a lot of money into expanding the company by mortgaging our house.

I just want to make a quick return and make our lives better. I didn't mean to neglect you."

Harrison wanted to retort that their family's capital didn't require her to work hard to improve their lives; they were already living comfortably. She just needed to think about how to spend money every day.

But she didn't know that she had married the richest man in Seraphim Haven.

Sigh…

Although deception was easy in the short term, to maintain his fake identity, Harrison had to lie to her over and over again.

He didn't know how to explain it to her now.

"Harrison. I have to hang up; there's another call coming in. Bye."

Beep, beep, beep.

The call was cut off.

Harrison tossed his phone aside and turned his gloomy face at Alexander and Samuel. "Go on."

Alexander said, "Harrison, did your Roxanne upset you again? Got the cold shoulder again?"

Harrison countered. "Which eye of yours saw me being upset?"

"Both my eyes saw it."

Samuel also said, "Both my eyes saw it too."

Harrison couldn't be bothered with these two meddlesome people.

Alexander, with a smile, said, "Harrison, that's why I always say that people can't be too public with their private lives. You were publicly showing off your loving wife a while ago; it was really tough for me, a divorced man, to see. Now, you're having a tough time, huh?"

"Are you just looking for something to do?" Harrison gave Alexander a cold look.

"I do have something." Alexander handed Harrison a folder. "Remember the guy your aunt introduced, the one who joined our 6G project?"

Because Roxanne gave him the cold shoulder, Harrison was in a bad mood.

His tone was very cold.

"Just get to the point."

"It's that senior engineer, who almost sold our core data to a foreigner for a bit of money. Aren't you angry? You gave him an annual salary of hundreds of thousands of dollars. Fortunately, Dominic discovered it in time, or the loss to the group would have been serious."

“We should sue him for leaking trade secrets and send him to jail."
