The Windfalls of Love (Roxanne and Harrison) novel Chapter 240

What an ungrateful man.

Dominic was instantly riled up, "What do you mean by that?"

"Marriage isn't a child's play, it's not a game where you can leave and return as you please," Harrison retorted with a dark expression.

"So, you're suggesting that you're not going to actively pursue a reconciliation with Roxanne, that you won’t try to win her back?" Dominic wasn’t foolish; he could read the hidden meaning.

Harrison replied coldly, "That's none of your business."

With that, he turned and left.

Dominic was tempted to charge at him for another round, to give this presumptuous man a piece of his mind.

He had underestimated the ruthless and cold-hearted nature of a capitalist.

It appeared that even marriage could be treated as a business transaction, once abandoned, it was truly abandoned.

Dominic felt like he had misjudged him.

Roxanne would have been better of marrying an ordinary man in the first place.

Capitalists were indeed capitalists; they could be heartless and ruthless when the time came.

A few days later, on a hot summer day, Roxanne returned to her office after an errand.

Entering the office from the sweltering outdoors, the rush of cold air made she felt uncomfortable.

She was shivering!

Her health condition was not that good after the miscarriage.

She quickly put on the coat hanging in her office.

As she sat down, her phone rang.

It displayed an unfamiliar number.

When she answered it, she heard Vincent's voice, "Roxanne, it's been over half a month since you last called me."

Roxanne hadn't told Vincent that the last time she tried to call him, she found that her number had been found blocked.

When Chloe was kidnapped by Dino, she tried to reach Vincent's.

But the call couldn’t get through.

She was certain it wasn't Vincent who blocked her number.

It had to be Harrison who had taken Vincent's phone and blocked her.

"By the way, why did you change your number?" Vincent had asked Chloe, and finally he got her new number.

Roxanne didn't tell Vincent that she had lost her phone in the abandoned building.

She simply said, "Oh, the old SIM card got damaged, so I got a new one. Dad, I've been a bit busy lately, I'll come to see you soon."

When she said soon, it was just a casual statement.

Vincent had treated her well.

But he was still Harrison's father.

It was best to keep their meetings infrequent.

"Don't put it off. Come and see me at the mansion tomorrow."

"Tomorrow?"

"Roxanne, Did you forget? Tomorrow is my birthday."

After a moment of thought, she remembered and felt sorry, "Dad, I'm really sorry, I forgot your birthday."

"It's alright, it's alright. I'm just alone. It's lonely. I wish you could come back and have a meal with me, it's been a long time since we had a proper meal together."

In reality, Vincent wasn't lonely.

Although his partner had passed away a long time ago, he had many people to keep him company.

He could play chess with his old friends, go golfing, and even take care of the pigs, cows, chickens and ducks with his farm workers.

His days was quite fulfilling.

He had deliberately found an excuse to meet Roxanne.

In reality, it was also to bring his son and Roxanne back together.

He said in a pitiful tone, "It's fine. If you're busy, just continue with your work. I can cut the cake by myself and celebrate my birthday alone, it'll just be a bit lonely. If you don’t come back, Harrison won’t either."

"Dad!" Roxanne asked, "Harrison won’t keep you company tomorrow?"

"Him?" Vincent started to emulate his son's lying skill, pretending to be angry, "Since you two divorced, he's been as busy as a robot, and hardly at home. It's been so long since he last visited me. He has to fly abroad tomorrow."

"Oh, I see."
