The Windfalls of Love (Roxanne and Harrison) novel Chapter 293

A bitter laugh sliced through the silence, forcing Dominic to turn, to look.

The eyes that met his were bright but filled with a desolate mirth.

Dominic's throat tightened.

His lips moved slightly, but found no words to console Evelyn.

Indeed.

The painful experience of unrequited love, that he had known all too well for the past decade, was something Evelyn was also intimately acquainted with.

Evelyn laughed bitterly again.

“Dominic, you know, Nora once told me, if I found you too hard to chew, I should let go. It’s not like I lack men in my life.”

“I’ve been biting at you for eight years, even a tough steak would’ve softened by now.”

“You probably think I’m annoying, don’t you? As soon as you break up with someone, I’m immediately there, clinging to you again.”

“Very annoying, right?”

Dominic began, “No, it's not.”

Love can't be forced just like him and Roxanne.

Even though he met Roxanne first.

Even though they grew up together, like two peas in a pod.

However, Roxanne's heart only had room for one man.

He gave a wry smile, “Ms. Miller, I can't give you the love you desire, I don't want to hold you back.”

Love is too tiring.

He didn’t want to get involved again.

He wanted to be alone.

Perhaps because Evelyn was suffering from the same affliction, his gaze softened when he looked at her.

He advised kindly, “Ms. Miller, don't waste your time on me.”

“Can you stop calling me Ms. Miller and call me Evelyn, or Eve?”

Dominic’s lips thinned.

He didn't intend to change his form of address.

“Fine.” Evelyn forced a smile.

She raised her hand, covering her eyes.

Not wanting Dominic to see the unwelcome tears.

Moisture clung to her eyelashes and blurred her vision.

She wiped away the tears and turned back to Dominic, her eyes once again lively and bright.

“Dominic, falling for you really is a hassle.”

“But I'm not afraid of the trouble.”

“Sooner or later, you will call me Eve.”

“And when that time comes, you won't be able to call me enough.”

Humph!

She would deal with him then.

She had plenty of patience.

At this point, the plane was already in the sky.

Outside the window, the clouds stretched out in all directions, a sight of unparalleled beauty.

Looking at the clouds, Evelyn took a deep breath, mentally encouraging herself,

‘Keep going, don't give up. Whether it's a hard rock or a cold, ancient iron, you can chip it away.’

The Rolls Royce glided through the traffic on the airport road.

Today, because of the child in the car, Anthony drove with utmost caution.

Several black Mercedes trailed the Rolls Royce.

Angela occasionally glanced at the following cars, curiously asking,

“Daddy, why do you always have so many followers whenever I see you?”

Followers referred to bodyguards.

But Angela didn’t know.

Angela also didn’t know that her Mr. Hard was the wealthy owner of Seraphim Haven.

“Daddy, will you suddenly leave us one day like Uncle?”

“Uncle?”

“Uncle Domi.”

“Why did Domi become an uncle?”

“Domi said that an uncle is the closest relative to Angela and Mommy.”

Harrison pondered.

Dominic really had it hard.

This man, who was like a brother to him.

His thoughts returned to the present, patting Angela's head, “Daddy will never leave you and mommy.”

“Pinky promise.”

Angela extended her chubby pinky.

Hooking it with Mr. Hard's little finger.

Her hand was so small and soft.

Harrison’s heart melted.

It seemed that the little girl did like him, he just hadn’t spent enough time with her.

Perhaps tired, Angela fell asleep in Harrison's arms.

Only then did Harrison turn his gaze to Roxanne, who was sitting next to him, leaning against the window, lost in thought.

Outside the window, autumn was in full swing.

A row of ginkgo trees, their leaves blown away by the wind.

The leaves fluttered past the window, casting a melancholy shadow in Roxanne's eyes.

She was unhappy.

He knew.
