The Windfalls of Love (Roxanne and Harrison) novel Chapter 263

Roxanne instinctively clutched her abdomen.

Her face remained stoic, but her stomach twisted violently.

Never before had she felt such a powerful and abnormal movement from the little one inside her.

Ouch.

The baby's movements were painful!

She didn't know if she was the one who was startled, or if the baby was.

She reached out quickly, steadying herself against the door frame.

She managed to avoid falling.

She thought that even if Vincent told Harrison, it wouldn't be so quick for him to come over.

After all, he was about to be engaged to Nora tomorrow.

Such a grand engagement ceremony.

The groom-to-be should be very busy.

How could he have spare time to concern about her?

And spare time to concern about their baby, who he had abandoned long ago.

Baby!!??

Seeing Harrison's gaze fixed on her swollen belly, she covered it more carefully.

Soon, her palm became sweaty.

Dominic said Harrison wouldn't be so cruel as to make her, seven months pregnant, get an abortion.

But who could be sure?

When Harrison turned his back on people, he could be more ruthless than anyone else.

She would not allow any mishap to happen to the baby in her belly.

It seemed that she would have to advance her plans.

"How did you manage to keep this baby?"

Harrison's voice interrupted Roxanne's frantic thoughts.

"I have something for you to listen to."

Suppressing her fear, she went back to the living room to get her phone and played a recording.

Harrison followed her in.

Right on time, Roxanne handed him the phone.

"What is this?"

"Just listen, and you'll know."

Harrison took the phone and listened.

It was a sound like a heartbeat.

One after another, rhythmic and particularly lively and strong.

Listening to the recording of her baby's heartbeat, Roxanne's frantic heart settled a bit.

She shouldn't be afraid.

Because seeing Harrison made her fear of being dragged to get an abortion, fear of him wanting to get rid of her child again, so she was scared.

She was afraid, so the baby in her belly moved so frequently and unusually, as if it was also startled.

Mother and child indeed shared a bond.

But at this moment, the infectious heartbeat of the baby gave Roxanne the courage and strength of a mother.

Nothing in the world could harm her baby.

She straightened her chest and said to Harrison in a resolute voice,

"This is the heartbeat of the baby. I recorded it on my phone and listen to it often. Can you tell that he is a very lively little darling? His life is so miraculous, so cute, hearing his heartbeat, can you still bear to deprive him of his right to live?"

Laying down the painful past didn't mean the scars in her heart were completely healed.

Roxanne admitted that she had let go.

But the large scar in her heart was opened again by the man in front of her.

It hurt so much that she couldn't breathe.

She choked back.

The heartbeat in the recording stopped.

Harrison looked up and saw her sadness and resilience. His brows furrowed deeply.

"Do you think I came here today to get rid of this baby again?"

"Isn't it?" Roxanne retorted.

Harrison lifted his lips, he had a lot to say, but he couldn't utter a single word.

These past few days, all media reported that Harrison was about to get engaged to Nora.

She would have a hard time not knowing.

She thought, it was quite ironic, "Mr. Rodriguez, you are the one who is getting engaged tomorrow, you shouldn't be here."

With that, she addressed him as Mr. Rodriguez, drawing a clear line between them.
