The Windfalls of Love (Roxanne and Harrison) novel Chapter 223

Sure, that wasn't real.

Roxanne got it. Getting any gal Harrison wanted would be a piece of cake for him. But he wasn't a playboy. He was a clean-living guy. He didn't fall in love easily, but once he did, he was all in.

Roxanne knew all these.

The truth was, Harrison was a good catch with top-tier status.

To become Mrs. Rodriguez, for her, was like winning a lottery of 5 million dollars, even better.

It was like she found a gem, making her feel all sorts of ways.

"Harrison, you might think I don't know how to seize the chance." She dropped her gaze, not meeting Harrison's eyes anymore. "Didn't your father say he would host a party to introduce me to your family members? Since we are going to divorce, there's no need for introductions. Tell your father not to go through the trouble of preparing the party."

She felt sorry for Harrison's father.

He had been treating her like his own daughter the whole time.

She was too embarrassed to tell him about the divorce. "Harrison, find a chance to tell him about the divorce. Save him from being kept in the dark."

Hearing her decision to divorce, Harrison was furious.

He was the richest man in town, with wealth, power, status, and good looks.

He lacked nothing.

Yet she still didn't want to be with him.

Harrison retorted angrily, "You tell him yourself."

"Then I will find a chance to talk to him properly." Roxanne picked up a napkin and wiped her mouth. "I'm full; if there is nothing else, I will take my leave."

She pushed back her chair, stood up, and walked away from the bustling roadside stall.

Harrison didn't chase after her. He watched as Roxanne's silhouette disappeared into the crowd.

Harrison also stood up.

The street corner was still bustling and chaotic, with small vendors busy at work.

That was the same street full of roadside stalls where he first met Roxanne.

Harrison seemed out of place there.

He and Roxanne were from completely different worlds and different classes.

After living together for half a year, he felt like he knew her very well, yet he felt like he didn't know her at all.

Roxanne felt the same way.

Perhaps they were really not suited for each other.

Keeping busy was the best way to heal wounds.

Once you start to keep busy, your attention is completely diverted.

That was true for Harrison, and it was true for Roxanne.

Roxanne and Chloe rented a new office and started a new foreign trade company.

They recruited a few new employees.

Everything started anew.

In Harrison's words, that small company she started was just messing around, but for her, that was her ability to stand on her own two feet. That was a formal job that allowed her to hold her head high.

In a blink of an eye, half a month had passed.

The weather was getting warmer, and many young men and women had started wearing short sleeves.

But this year, Roxanne started to feel a bit cold.

At sunset, she quickly put on her coat.

Maybe it was because she had an unfortunate miscarriage during Christmas that she started to feel cold.

As for Chloe, it was even worse. She had a miscarriage, gave birth to two children, suffered humiliation at her mother-in-law's house during her recovery period after delivery, and didn't get proper care. Chloe's health was even worse.

Other young girls were wearing short sleeves and skirts, whereas Chloe was wearing a coat and a vest.

Roxanne, who also had a miscarriage, started to understand why Chloe was so afraid of the cold.

Thinking of the child she and Harrison were supposed to have, who had an unexpected miscarriage, Roxanne suddenly felt very heartbroken.
