The Windfalls of Love (Roxanne and Harrison) novel Chapter 296

The words cut like a double-edged sword.

They wounded Harrison just as much as they wounded Roxanne. She figured she had said all there was to say. There was no need to drag it out any longer.

She tossed the trash she had collected into the bin and stood up.

“I have things to get done. I’m sure you’re busy too, so after you’re done eating, you should head off. Next time you want to see Angela, just give me a call. I’ll bring her to you. There’s no need for you to come to my office.”

With that, she turned and left. Her slender figure quickly disappeared from Harrison’s sight.

From beginning to end, Harrison hardly had a bite of his meal. Now, he had completely lost his appetite.

It wasn’t because of the mere curry chicken in his takeout box; it was because the person who had been eating with him had left.

He cleared up the table and left in a dignified manner.

In the Rodriguez Villa.

Vincent and his adorable granddaughter had spent most of the day playing on the farm.

Living in the bustling city of Seraphim Haven, Angela didn’t often get to experience farm life. Feeding chickens, ducks, cows, sheep, and bunnies with her grandfather was fascinating to her.

The little darling loved being close to the animals. After spending half the day using up her energy, Angela was tired and hungry.

She sat down on the muddy ground and looked up at her grandfather, her long eyelashes raised, eyes dripping with joy; she patted the spot next to her.

“Grandpa Vincent, sit down and rest for a bit.”

“Alright, I will sit down next to Angela.”

Perhaps it was due to his age, but Vincent was a bit slow to sit down.

The housekeeper Zoey, quickly brought over two small stools, “Chairman Rodriguez, you and Angela should sit on the stools; the ground is dirty.”

“It’s okay.” Vincent dismissed with a wave of his hand, “Kids need to be close to nature to grow up healthy.”

Nowadays, most children lived in cities and rarely had any chance to be in touch with nature. They often had weak immune systems.

His precious granddaughter might be pampered, but her immune system had to be strong. Moreover, he had specifically asked Roxanne’s opinion about bringing Angela to the farm. Roxanne had agreed wholeheartedly, saying Angela should get close to nature.

Vincent gently patted Angela’s soft little head, “Are you thirsty? Do you want some water?”

“Grandpa Vincent, I’m hungry. I want milk.”

Vincent’s heart melted at the sound of her sweet voice. He quickly prepared a bottle of formula for Angela.

The three-year-old held the bottle and gulped down more than half of it. In between sips, Angela let go of the bottle and looked at her grandpa in confusion, “Grandpa Vincent, are you very poor?”

Vincent and Zoey both blinked at her question.

“Why do you think I’m poor?” Vincent asked, patting Angela’s head.

Angela furrowed her brow, “Because Grandpa Vincent works hard every day to raise chickens and ducks.”

Vincent laughed. So, raising chickens and ducks made him poor. This little girl didn’t know how rich their family was.

After taking another sip of her milk, Angela released the teat and said with certainty, “Grandpa Vincent, no matter how poor you are, I won’t look down on you. When I grow up and start earning money, I’ll take care of you.”

Vincent was touched beyond words.

Just like her mother, Angela had a kind and generous heart. She didn’t look down on old people. Thinking back to when Roxanne didn’t know he was the Chairman of the Rodriguez Group and insisted on giving him two hundred dollars for living expenses, he felt a lump in his throat.

He wasn’t sure he would live long enough to see Angela grow up and earn money, let alone see Roxanne and Harrison get back together.

Vincent knew Roxanne well. Harrison had hurt her deeply. She probably didn’t want to talk about marriage anymore.

In the evening, Harrison returned to the villa alone.

Seeing that Roxanne wasn’t there, Vincent looked disappointed, “Didn’t I tell you to bring Roxanne back using the excuse of having dinner with me and Angela?”
