The Windfalls of Love (Roxanne and Harrison)

Chapter 196

He tried his best to keep his cool, but he completely lost it.

No matter how tough things got at work before, he never got that cranky or messed up.

He felt that Roxanne just didn't give a damn about him. It wasn’t that she didn't care much, she just

didn't care at all.

Suddenly, he felt the urge to blow off some steam, so he kicked Alexander and Samuel out of the

conference room.

Then he stood alone by the floor-to-ceiling windows, gazing at the view below.

Half the hustle and bustle of Seraphim Haven was in full sight.

Despite the arrival of winter, the city was anything but dreary. It was full of skyscrapers with cars

coming and going; it was buzzing.

Born at the top of the power pyramid, he could look down on everyone else.

Every quality resource in this world was within his easy reach.

He was the richest man in Seraphim Haven who never got bothered by emotional problems, yet he lost

his years-long emotional control because of a woman from the bottom of society.

That was unprecedented.

Outside the door, Alexander looked at the tightly closed conference room door and helplessly shook his

head. He said, "Even Harrison can't resist the charm of a beautiful woman."

Alexander had never seen Harrison lose control of his emotions like that. It was clear how important

Roxanne was to him.

But he was a stubborn guy who would admit nothing.

Alexander continued, "But if I were Roxanne, I wouldn't be able to stand this guy either."

It’s one thing to hide his identity, but he just casually mentioned breaking up? C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

Samuel put his arm around Alexander's shoulder and asked, "Harrison and Roxanne aren't really going

to divorce, are they?"

Alexander laughed, "Don't worry, they're just squabbling."

Samuel asked, "They're not going to fight until they divorce, are they?"

Alexander said, "Let them fight. No one could control Harrison before. He wouldn't even listen to the

chairman. Now that there’s someone who can control him, isn't that a good thing?"

Suddenly, Vincent showed up.

He had noticed that his daughter-in-law had been in a bad mood for the past few days. He wanted to

ask Harrison about it, but he heard they were considering divorce.

It must have been Harrison’s fault.

"Is Harrison inside?" Vincent looked at the conference room door, intending to go in and give his

arrogant son a piece of his mind.

What on earth had made his daughter-in-law unhappy? They were even considering divorce?

Alexander nodded at Vincent, "Chairman, Harrison is inside. I'll take you in."

Vincent walked in and his gaze sternly fixed on Harrison.

He thought it was a good thing that Roxanne could control Harrison because it showed he cared about

her.

Harrison didn't know how to make his wife happy, and he was taking his anger out on others. What a

headache!

Vincent suggested, "If you're feeling down, don't stay in the office. Take a break and think about how to

win your wife back."

Could sweet talk sway Roxanne?

She was completely dedicated to her career. In her mind, he was insignificant.

The more he thought about it, the more frustrated he felt.

Turning around, Harrison looked at Vincent with anger and asked, "How do you know I'm not feeling

well?"

Vincent frowned, "Alright, whoever is upset knows it best."

"Let's go." Turning around, Vincent pulled Alexander away and said, "Let him be upset by himself. After

all, Roxanne hasn't been ignoring us. Let's not bother with him. He's making a mountain out of a

molehill."

Alexander turned back and said, "Right, making a mountain out of a molehill!"

After they left, Vincent felt a little uneasy.

After learning some things from Alexander, he felt something was off.

"Does Roxanne know Harrison's real identity?"

Alexander replied, "I don't think so. Harrison has always been good at hiding his identity. Chloe also

promised to help keep it a secret. She wouldn’t ruin his plan to reveal his identity. How could Roxanne

possibly know?"

Vincent wasn't sure. He remained silent.

Alexander continued, "Besides, their possible divorce is because Harrison casually mentioned breaking

up; it has nothing to do with his hidden identity."

Vincent had always been good at predicting the course of events, "Maybe it's these two things

combined that made Roxanne even angrier!"

He knew his daughter-in-law well.

Vincent said, "No, I have to call Roxanne myself and straighten things out."

He couldn't let that couple continue to be at odds.

Patting Alexander on the shoulder, Vincent said again, "Alexander, Harrison has no experience in love,

and his skills in chasing girls are not up to par. Teach him a thing or two."

Alexander put on a troubled look, "Chairman, it seems that this also requires some talent."

Vincent knew his son's shortcomings.

Otherwise, why would he have no lover all that time?

He took a deep sigh and said, "Please teach Harrison how to chase girls anyway. Who knows, he might

suddenly get it."

Alexander said, "Chairman, I also hope Harrison and his wife can live in harmony. I'll do my best."

In Warmville, Roxanne worked late into the night.

Returning to the dormitory, she saw workers working overnight on the road on both sides of the

corridor.

They were hanging Christmas wreaths. Was it Christmas already?

When she came to Warmville, it was December, and Christmas was getting closer.

During that time, she had indeed somewhat neglected Harrison. She understood that Harrison was

upset.

But that man shouldn't casually mention breaking up, let alone deceive her and act so righteous.

Roxanne understood that this kind of cold war between a husband and wife couldn't solve the problem.

She decided to seek out Harrison for a heart-to-heart chat.

Once inside, she put some soup on the stove, then rang Harrison up.

Harrison had returned to his villa at Grandeur Meadows, while Roxanne was still not back at East

Adjacent Estates. He decided not to go back either.

If he did, and found the place deserted, he’d feel utterly alone living there by himself.

At that time, he was taking a shower, and his phone was lying on the bedside table in his bedroom.

Because it was too far away, he didn’t hear it ring.

Roxanne, in the midst of cooking her soup, was left wondering why Harrison wasn’t picking up. Was he

still miffed at her?

In less than twenty minutes, she dialed his number three times, but no one answered.

By then, the soup in the pot had started to boil over. The scalding hot soup doused the flame, and with

it, Roxanne’s hopes.

She had been wanting to have a serious talk with Harrison, but his phone remained unreachable.

She was a bundle of nerves and didn’t know why. Perhaps she wasn’t as tough as she appeared to be.

She had put so much of her heart into that marriage. She didn’t want it to come to that.

She admitted that her heart was in agony.

Was it necessary for that man to be so mad at her and not answer her calls?

Her stomach was aching, which was probably a side effect of her anger.

Her stomach was hurting even before Harrison didn't pick up her calls. That’s why she went back to the

dorm and cooked some soup. She wanted to drink something warm to soothe her stomach.

So she rekindled the fire and stirred the boiling soup.

The more she stirred, the sadder she felt. The turmoil in her heart mirrored the roiling soup.

Just as she was on the verge of tears, Harrison finally returned her call.
