The Windfalls of Love (Roxanne and Harrison) novel Chapter 254

Roxanne glanced at Harrison, she noticed the bruise on his face.

Suddenly, Roxanne found herself understanding the decision Harrison had made.

And she found herself unable to feel any resentment.

She took two steps forward, tugging gently at Harrison's sleeve.

She stared at his somber face.

"Harrison, I can help you take care of Nora. I can share the responsibility with you. I can treat her as my own sister and take care of her."

Harrison coldly brushed her hand away.

She was unwilling to accept this separation, so she reached out to him again.

Yet, Harrison pushed her way once again.

"I'm sorry, but I can't be responsible for two women at the same time. I've let you down!"

This time, Roxanne couldn't bring herself to hold onto Harrison's sleeve anymore.

Her heart ached.

She was hurt.

She had moments of self-doubt too.

Tears welled up in her eyes as she looked at Harrison.

Her hand, which had been brushed away by him fell to her side, and she didn’t know whether to reach out or retract it.

She clenched the flesh on her own leg tightly.

Though she pinched herself hard, she couldn’t feel the pain at all.

Because the wound in her heart had taken up all her consciousness.

She looked up at Harrison with a humble expression, "Harrison, you can't treat me like this. You were the one who said you couldn’t be happy without me; you were the one who asked me for a second chance. You pulled me out of hell, and now you’re going to push me back into it?"

Harrison didn't respond.

He stood to the side of Roxanne without looking at her.

He didn't even dare to face her.

Finally, he coldly said,"You’re not like Nora. You've been through a lot since you were a child. You're used to the ups and downs of life. Without me, you can still live a good life. But without me, Nora wouldn't be able to survive. I owe Nora."

When those foreign forces captured Nora and threatened him, he could have handed over the 6G technology to save Nora.

However, when compared to the interests of the corporation and the critical importance of 6G technology in various domestic sectors, sacrificing Nora was the best choice.

He was the one who made Nora into the hands of the enemy.

He was the one who allowed such a pure and beautiful girl to be defiled and ridiculed by the entire society.

He failed Nora.

"You owe Nora, but don't you owe me?"

Roxanne asked him, her heart was broken.

Harrison did not answer.

A simple "I'm sorry" could no longer express his remorse towards Roxanne.

Despite being pushed away several times, Roxanne still boldly approached him carefully grasping his sleeve.

"Harrison."

She let go of all her pretenses.

She opened up the tightly closed shell of herself, revealing her soft, fragile, and vulnerable heart.

"I'm not as strong as you think."

"Really. Every time I’ve been abandoned, I’ve just put on a brave front."

"Please don’t leave me?"

She let go of her pride and dignity as if she was begging him.

"Harrison, there are many ways to make amends for Nora. I can help you make amends for her."

"Why did you choose to hurt me?"

She tugged at Harrison's sleeve.

Shaking it gently, it seemed like she was being coquettish and at the same time, it felt like she were begging.

"Harrison, look at me. I'm really not as strong as you think."

The arm that once gave her endless warmth and protection eventually coldly waved her away.

He didn't even look at her in the end.

"There's nothing more to say about this. I love you, but I can only choose to hurt you. Later, I’ll have my CFO provide you with compensation."

"Compensation?" Roxanne scoffed, "Harrison, do you think I need that money? If I need money, I can earn it myself."

She waited from noon until evening.

"Madam, you've been sitting here since last night, not eating or drinking anything. This will only harm your health."

"You should at least take some porridge."

Knowing that she liked sweet potato millet porridge, the servant had made some for her.

Handing it over, the servant persuaded, "Madam, no matter what has happened, you shouldn't punish yourself like this."

She really didn't want to make herself in such a miserable state.

Roxanne eventually took the porridge and had a few gulps.

A surge of discomfort roiled her stomach, forcing her to rush to the bathroom and vomit.

She subconsciously thought about her pregnancy.

She had planned to share this delightful surprise with Harrison last night.

But she didn't have the chance.

She touched her still flat abdomen.

Her heart ached.

“Baby, you have come at such a bad time. Dad doesn't want Mom anymore. Dad really doesn't want Mom anymore.”

Suddenly, it felt like she had grabbed onto her last lifeline.

The baby!!!

It was well past midnight when Harrison finally returned home.

It had been three days since their separation in the hospital.

Upon hearing the familiar ding of the elevator announcing his arrival, Roxanne dashed to meet him, barefoot and breathless.

Harrison looked even more exhausted, more gaunt, and more weathered compared to three days ago.

The stubble on his face had grown thicker.

Upon seeing her, he furrowed his brows. "Why are you still here?"

"Where should I be?" Roxanne asked, holding back her tears. "Harrison, are you really going to cut off all ties with me again? Just like you did last time?"

Harrison remained silent.

Roxanne stepped forward and grabbed his arm. Without a second thought, she blurted out, "Harrison, I'm pregnant. From our time together on the plane last month, I'm carrying your child. You can't just abandon us like this. What if it's a girl? You and Dad always wanted a little girl. Let's remarry, and we can raise this child together. What do you say?"
