The Windfalls of Love (Roxanne and Harrison) novel Chapter 295

"It's been a while, hasn't it?"

Chloe mused.

When this man had decided to marry Nora, the internet was ablaze with news of their union.

At that time, Roxanne had quietly left with Angela.

She went to another country to give birth.

She didn't even speak English, and she was completely out of her element.

If it hadn't been for Dominic by her side, Roxanne might have died on the delivery table.

In fact, Chloe was hoping that Roxanne and Dominic would get legally married.

But it seemed like the plan was falling through.

The man in front of her, Harrison, was still the same man who had once been the wealthiest in Seraphim Haven.

But something about him was different.

Chloe studied him, noticing a change in his eyes.

Under his intelligent, steady and indifferent gaze, there seemed to be traces of loneliness and vicissitudes. Perhaps these years hadn't been kind to him, hence the obvious sorrow and pain in his eyes.

Chloe didn't know what to say.

She turned her head towards the receptionist and ordered,

"Kyle, get a cup of coffee for Mr. Rodriguez, our guest. Use the best Blue Mountain coffee beans."

The Blue Mountain coffee beans had to be freshly ground.

It was a bit of a hassle.

When Kyle went to the pantry to grind the coffee beans, he noticed Mr. Martinez, who was usually in a rush, standing by the window, lost in thought.

The sharp look in Mr. Martinez's eyes was nowhere to be seen.

She seemed upset.

Like she was burdened with heavy thoughts.

The midday autumn sun, while bright and dazzling, cast a gloomy shadow on Roxanne.

Grinding a cup of Blue Mountain coffee took about fifteen minutes.

Roxanne stood there, lost in thought, for fifteen minutes.

Kyle ventured a guess that the handsome man, even more handsome than Mr. Dominic, must be the one who had unsettled Mr. Martinez's heart.

Perhaps he was Angela's father.

Roxanne didn't know how long she had been standing there.

When she came to, the cup of brewed tea in her hands had cooled.

After she poured fresh hot water, she returned to her office.

Chloe followed her into the office after she saw her enter, and closed the door.

"No need to ask," Roxanne said, opening a folder on her desk, "Dominic has gone abroad. We didn't get legally married."

"Why not?" Chloe asked anxiously, "Roxanne, are you thinking of going back to him?"

Roxanne's hand paused as she flipped through the files.

The pain in her eyes was evident.

But it was only brief.

Soon, her gaze hardened.

"The reason Dominic and I didn't get legally married is not because of Harrison."

"Dominic initiated the breakup. He had already booked his ticket abroad."

"As for Harrison, there's no chance for us."

She resumed flipping through her files, looking for something, and busied herself with work.

After more than two hours.

Chloe came to Roxanne's office, "Anne, Harrison has been waiting for you at the reception. It's almost lunchtime. Should we invite him?"

"You go ahead, ask the reception to order takeout for me."

"What about Harrison?" Chloe asked, "Should he just wait at the reception?"

Roxanne continued typing on her keyboard, "If he's still here by lunchtime, order him takeout too."

"Ah!"

Chloe let out a long sigh.

Harrison, why did you have to make those decisions?

Back then, Roxanne swallowed her pride to plead with him, to make up for Nora in another way. But he chose to abandon Roxanne and marry Nora. And he even wanted to abort the baby in Roxanne's womb.

No wonder Roxanne was so determined.

Chloe shook her head.

This outcome was painful for everyone.

The office staff went out for lunch.

Roxanne was still busy in her office.
