The Windfalls of Love (Roxanne and Harrison) novel Chapter 264

In the wee hours of the night, the light in the basement was dim.

Harrison glanced up, but couldn't make out who was sitting in the taxi.

The cab sped away, stirring up a dust cloud that made the air somewhat pungent.

Irritated, he reached for his lighter, inadvertently pulling out the jade pendant Roxanne had given him from his trouser pocket.

Crack!

The amber-colored pendant smashed against the hard ground, breaking into two.

Harrison hurriedly picked up the pieces. He held them gently in his palm, but they couldn't be pieced back together.

It was then that he realized, there were some things that could never be restored, never.

At three in the morning.

Roxanne arrived at the airport.

At half-past three, a flight was scheduled to depart.

She had her passport ready and had contacted a maternity hospital overseas.

She didn't tell anyone.

Not even Chloe.

Earlier that day, when Harrison had suddenly sought her out, she was terrified.

Afraid that she might lose the baby, she knew she had to leave.

Once the child was born in Valeria and they both had Valerian citizenship, even if Harrison tried to fight for custody, it would be impossible.

She had planned everything meticulously.

It's not that she didn't trust Harrison.

She just couldn't allow any risk to her baby.

No one could separate her and her baby.

No one!

So, she didn't even tell Chloe.

She feared that Harrison might discover something before the baby was due.

As she headed for security, a strong arm suddenly halted her.

She turned around, startled then surprised, "Dominic?"

Dominic was indeed very angry.

But he was helpless when it came to her, "Roxanne, do you think you're invincible?"

"How did you know I was at the airport?" Roxanne quickly glanced behind him, "Harrison didn't come with you, did he?"

Suppressing his anger, Dominic responded, "Knowing you didn't want to see him, how could I bring him?"

Roxanne still wasn't convinced.

She looked behind him again, making sure she didn't see any sign of Harrison, before she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

But with the plane not yet in the air, she was still full of worries.

"Dominic, I don't have time to explain, I need to go through security." She tried to shake off Dominic's grip on her arm.

Dominic held on firmly, "You, not a local, are going alone to a foreign country to have a baby. Aren't you afraid of any accidents?"

She was unfamiliar with the place and would have communication issues.

Did she think she was some sort of superhero?

Dominic knew, however, that she was forced into this situation.

His anger entirely dissipated, he gently said, "I bought a ticket for the same flight. I'll go with you."

"Dominic."

"Go through security."

He let go of her arm and took the two suitcases from her hand.

"Stay close to me, and take it slow."

Roxanne felt a lump in her throat.

In the end, the person willing to stay by her side was the one she once trusted the least.

"Dominic, I'm going to have a baby, not going on a vacation. Aren't you afraid I'll be a burden?"

Dominic didn't respond.

He just looked at this sad yet resilient woman, his gaze softening.

After a quiet moment, he finally spoke,
