The Windfalls of Love (Roxanne and Harrison) novel Chapter 238

"Are you fucking kidding me?"

Dominic's fist swung toward Harrison, aiming for his cheek, but was caught mid-air by Harrison's swift reaction.

"You wanna fight?"

"Harrison, you're not a man."

Dominic had believed that Harrison was different from other wealthy guys, and thought he wasn't the type to be overly macho. He assumed Harrison would genuinely care for Roxanne.

Yet he didn't know Roxanne well and he divorced her without a second thought.

Dominic furiously knocked over the cup of coffee Harrison was holding, spilling it over his pristine suit.

Harrison retaliated, his temper flaring. The recent divorce had left him in a foul mood with no outlet for his frustration.

In the ensuing brawl, Alexander tried to intervene, only to get caught in the crossfire. He eventually gave up trying to stop them.

He had always believed these two rivals would coexist peacefully. Little did he know that a day would come when their fists would meet. Alexander decided to let them fight; perhaps this was the only way they could vent their anger.

But it seemed none of them had intention of stopping.

Harrison's punch shattered Dominic's glasses, leaving his eye swollen and bruised. Dominic landed a punch on Harrison's cheek, leaving a nasty bruise.

"What the hell are you guys doing?"

Their fight was interrupted by Evelyn's entrance.

She yelled, and the two men stopped their fight, their face dark with anger, finally letting go of each other.

She had heard about Harrison's divorce from Vincent Rodriguez and had rushed over to his office in order to persuade him to reconcile with Roxanne.

However, she now saw her beloved man and Harrison in the middle of a fight.

Of course, Evelyn’s first instinct was to protect her beloved, and she rushed forward to inspect Dominic’s injuries. She felt a surge of heartache.

"Dominic, are you okay?"

"None of your business." Dominic pushed Evelyn's hand away, refusing to let her touch his eye.

Evelyn turned to glare at Harrison. "Why did you hit so hard, Harrison? You've swollen Dominic’s eye!"

"He started it," Harrison retorted, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth.

"Serves him right!" Evelyn snapped. "It's your fault for divorcing Roxanne. Dominic had every reason to punch you."

Evelyn was heartbroken, though. The harshness of Dominic's punch was a clear indication of his deep feelings for Roxanne.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been so furious about their divorce. Dominic was usually such a refined gentleman.

But Evelyn didn't want anyone to see her jealousy. As Dominic stormed off, she quickly followed him.

"Dominic, wait for me. Let's get you to a hospital."

"No need."

Evelyn, in her high heels, jogged to block Dominic's path. "Dominic, now that Harrison and Roxanne are divorced, are you planning to win Roxanne back?"

"Can't you see that Roxanne is still loving Harrison?" Dominic touched his swollen eye. He could bear the physical pain, but the pain in his heart was unbearable.

"I didn't want Harrison and Roxanne to divorce either."

"This matter is beyond your control."

Dominic sidestepped Evelyn and walked away.

As she watched him leave, Evelyn called out, "Dominic, are you really going to give up Harrison's 6G-Technology project? Harrison needs your help. Please, don't quit."

Dominic didn't respond. He paused briefly before continuing on his way.

A few days later, Alexander found Roxanne at a pork knuckle fast-food restaurant.

Roxanne was having dinner alone.

Roxanne gave a bitter smile.

She didn't want to let Alexander know that Harrison wanted to sever all ties with her.

Let alone the fact that a few days ago, Harrison had ignored her when he saw her fall down, acting as if he hadn't seen her at all.

He wouldn't even meet her.

"If you promise not to tell Harrison, I'll go have a talk with Dominic."

"Deal."

Roxanne went to see Dominic that very day.

She bought some fruits and with Chloe accompanying her to Dominic's house.

When Dominic saw Roxanne standing at his doorstep, he was surprised but he probably knew why she was there.

The wound on his eye hadn't healed yet and he couldn't conceal it.

Out of awkwardness, he invited Roxanne in.

Roxanne had never been to his house before, and being alone with her made Dominic nervous. He kept himself busy by preparing some coffee.

"Dominic, there's no need to make a fuss. I need to ask you a favor," Roxanne said as she stood by bar, observing Dominic's flurry of activity.

Dominic's hand paused midair. The smile on his face froze. He turned around and wore a bitter smile, "You're here because of Harrison's 6G-Technology project, aren't you?"

"I'm sorry!" Roxanne's voice was filled with a sense of guilt, "I never visited you when you were injured. And now, the first time I come to see you, it's because of my ex-husband."

"You do realized that he's just your ex-husband now, right?"

"Alexander told me how concerned Harrison has been these past few days. Without you, he's been charging the tech department day and night, hardly getting any sleep. Dominic, could you help him out? You're so proficient with computers, the Rodriguez Group's 6G-Technology project can't go on without you."

Dominic let out a bitter laugh, "You don't really want a divorce, do you?"
