Worried that Roxanne might not take it well, Harrison decided to keep his lips sealed for now.
"Alright, if you can't ride, I'll give you a lift to the subway station. You go to work, and I'll head back to the office." Roxanne gave Harrison a ride to the subway station. His long legs looked a bit awkward on her petite electric bike.
Although his legs were a bit numb, Harrison thought the scenery today was particularly pleasing to the eye. Especially the cool breeze made him feel refreshed.
When they reached the subway station, Roxanne looked at Harrison, who was pretending to catch the subway, and called out, "Harrison!"
"Yes?" He turned to her, "What's up?"
Roxanne was a bit hesitant to say it out loud. She smiled at him, "I don't really know how to say this."
"What can't you say between us?" Harrison responded.
Roxanne thought for a moment, then firmly said, "True, let me just get it out there."
After getting a nod from Harrison, she looked him in the eye and decisively said, "Harrison, let's not divorce, okay?"
Harrison furrowed his brows. This question somewhat puzzled him.
Roxanne went on, "Harrison, I didn't have a family, only Chloe. I feel warmth now that I'm married and have you and Vincent Rodriguez. Vincent treats me better than my own father. This family makes me very happy and content. I don't want to be without a family again. So, Harrison, let's not divorce, okay? Whatever problems we have, we can discuss them, support each other, trust each other, and live a good life, okay?"
Roxanne's gaze suddenly softened, touching his heart.
Originally, Harrison's intention was to divorce after a year.
However, hearing Roxanne saying this, he didn't have the heart to reveal his original plan.
He absolutely couldn't. If he said it, she would surely be devastated. After thinking for a while, he smiled and said, "Alright!"
He himself didn't expect that when he said "Alright", his tone was so firm.
Roxanne smiled a sweet smile with tears in her eyes. "Harrison, thank you for giving me a family."
She finally had a family.
Seeing her teary eyes, Harrison gently flicked her forehead. "Silly girl, you're getting emotional over such a small thing?"
"Of course." Roxanne wiped her tears and said earnestly, "You don't know how much I've longed for a family."
Harrison patted her head. His large hand rested on her head as if comforting her. "I promise you, we won't divorce. We'll live a good life."
"Thank you!"
"How many times are you going to say 'thank you'?" Harrison flicked her forehead again, "Why so formal between us?"
"I have to say it. You took a special leave to help me set up the live streaming site to fight against Sebastian. You even stepped in to protect me when Sebastian was about to attack me. I'm really grateful and moved."
"Really that moved?"
"Of course."
"So, have you fallen in love with me?" Harrison asked, watching Roxanne's reaction closely.
