The Windfalls of Love (Roxanne and Harrison) novel Chapter 222

But when Harrison peeped through the half-open door, he saw Roxanne walk away without a backward glance, and his heart sank.

Outside the door, Roxanne heard the words "let her go", paused for a moment, then carried on walking.

She didn't look back, and Alexander didn't chase after her. The problems between them as a couple weren't something he could fix with a few words.

Alexander returned to Harrison's side, helpless.

Harrison took a deep breath, slowly exhaled, then turned back to his desk, fired up his computer, and got back to work.

Alexander walked over and said, "Harrison, if you're not in a good mood, don't force yourself to work. You could easily make a mistake."

Alexander knew what he was talking about. He'd been through that himself.

When he'd been betrayed by Hazel Dawson, he too had tried to distract himself with work.

But the harder he tried, the worse he felt, and in the end, he couldn't do anything right.

Harrison turned on his computer, looked up, and gave Alexander a frosty stare. "What makes you think I'm not in a good mood?"

Alexander shook his head, understanding that even now, this guy was still trying to play it cool.

No wonder Roxanne had decided to divorce him.

Alexander leaned on his desk, giving him a sideways glance. "If you love her so much, why do you restrict her freedom and insist she stays home as a housewife? Your love is suffocating."

Harrison's expression darkened. "What makes you think I love her?"

The more Alexander revealed about his feelings, the more irritable Harrison became.

He was usually cool-headed, but the situation with Roxanne had thrown his emotional control out the window.

Alexander knew him well and decided it was best to leave him alone. As Alexander walked out, he closed the door behind him.

Before he did, he heard Harrison on the phone with his bodyguard, Jackson Thomas, instructing him to keep an eye on Roxanne and ensure her safety.

In the afternoon.

Jack reported to Harrison, "Mr. Harrison, Mrs. Harrison has moved out of the villa."

The next day.

Jack reported again, "Mr. Harrison, Mrs. Harrison went to the Trade and Industry Bureau today. It seems she's planning to register a new foreign trade company."

That woman never rested.

She was busy with the divorce and setting up a new company.

She was eager to get back to business already.

As expected, he was never as important as her career.

No wonder her love for him was so shallow.

The third day.

On his way to the hospital, Harrison received a message from Roxanne.

She asked when he was free to go to the city hall to handle the divorce procedures.

Harrison didn't reply.

Sitting next to him, Alexander continued to discuss the 6G-Technology project.

"Harrison, don't you find Dominic Thompson's car accident strange?"

"He's a key figure in our tech department. With him, it's impossible for foreign forces to breach our network or get their hands on our technology."

Thankfully, Dominic only suffered minor fractures. Despite being hospitalized, he continued to work on his laptop.

When they reached the hospital, Harrison walked over to Dominic. "Did Roxanne call you?"

"Are you and Roxanne preparing for a divorce?" Dominic asked in return.

It was a gloomy and troublesome topic, but Harrison didn't deny it.

Dominic replied, "Roxanne never called me."

"Are you sure she didn't call you after you returned to the country?"

"Harrison, what are you trying to say? Are you suspecting that Roxanne and I have rekindled our relationship, hence her decision to divorce you?"

Of course, he had no such suspicion. He trusted Roxanne's character; she would be absolutely loyal to her partner and to her marriage.

But her decisions were always firm and resolute.

After his conversation with Dominic, Harrison was even more certain. Roxanne was not one to drag her feet.

She was as decisive about divorcing him as she had been about breaking up with Dominic. Once she made a decision, there was no turning back.

Dominic, at least, had grown up with Roxanne.

He had been hospitalized due to a car accident, yet Roxanne hadn't visited him. It was clear that Roxanne had moved on from Dominic.

She was really ruthless.

Harrison got up, gave Dominic a pat on the shoulder and said, "Stay strong with the cybersecurity stuff."
