Chapter 191
The next day, the weather cleared up.
The typhoon was also over.
Harrison bought a plane ticket for 10 in the morning, ready to head back to Seraphim Haven.
In the morning, Roxanne greeted him, saying that if she had time in the evening, she'd join him for
dinner.
Then she asked him how many days of vacation he had left and how long he'd be staying here.
Before Harrison could answer, Roxanne received a call and rushed off.
It seemed like his presence in Warmville wasn't that important.
So, he decided to head back early.
People often say that the sweetness of a reunion after a period of separation was sweeter than a
honeymoon. Maybe once he left, Roxanne would start to miss him.
But in reality, Harrison was overthinking it.
Before boarding, he texted Roxanne, telling her he was heading back to Seraphim Haven.
Roxanne didn't reply.
When 9 p.m. rolled around, Roxanne gave him a call. C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.
"Harrison, I'm sorry, I can't join you for dinner tonight. How much longer are you staying here? I'll try to
make time."
Harrison didn't answer.
At that moment, he was discussing matters with Alexander and Samuel.
Alexander and Samuel saw his expression suddenly turn gloomy.
Was it because Roxanne upset him?
They heard that this man drove for ten hours straight to Warmville to find Roxanne.
Only to be given the cold shoulder by Roxanne.
Seeing him return to Seraphim Haven with a crestfallen look made Alexander and Samuel even feel
somewhat happy.
Who told him to always brag about his blissful married life before?
"Harrison, are you listening?" Roxanne on the phone asked.
"Didn't you see the message I sent you this morning?"
Harrison's face had clearly turned cold.
His lips were tightly pressed together.
Roxanne asked in confusion. "What message?"
She was too busy.
It was already 9 p.m., and she hadn't had dinner yet.
As soon as she finished her work, she called him immediately.
On the phone, Harrison seemed unhappy, so she tried to soothe him.
"Harrison, don't be angry. You know I've put a lot of money into expanding the company by mortgaging
our house.
I just want to make a quick return and make our lives better. I didn't mean to neglect you."
Harrison wanted to retort that their family's capital didn't require her to work hard to improve their lives;
they were already living comfortably. She just needed to think about how to spend money every day.
But she didn't know that she had married the richest man in Seraphim Haven.
Sigh…
Although deception was easy in the short term, to maintain his fake identity, Harrison had to lie to her
over and over again.
He didn't know how to explain it to her now.
"Harrison. I have to hang up; there's another call coming in. Bye."
Beep, beep, beep.
The call was cut off.
Harrison tossed his phone aside and turned his gloomy face at Alexander and Samuel. "Go on."
Alexander said, "Harrison, did your Roxanne upset you again? Got the cold shoulder again?"
Harrison countered. "Which eye of yours saw me being upset?"
"Both my eyes saw it."
Samuel also said, "Both my eyes saw it too."
Harrison couldn't be bothered with these two meddlesome people.
Alexander, with a smile, said, "Harrison, that's why I always say that people can't be too public with
their private lives. You were publicly showing off your loving wife a while ago; it was really tough for me,
a divorced man, to see. Now, you're having a tough time, huh?"
"Are you just looking for something to do?" Harrison gave Alexander a cold look.
"I do have something." Alexander handed Harrison a folder. "Remember the guy your aunt introduced,
the one who joined our 6G project?"
Because Roxanne gave him the cold shoulder, Harrison was in a bad mood.
His tone was very cold.
"Just get to the point."
"It's that senior engineer, who almost sold our core data to a foreigner for a bit of money. Aren't you
angry? You gave him an annual salary of hundreds of thousands of dollars. Fortunately, Dominic
discovered it in time, or the loss to the group would have been serious."
“We should sue him for leaking trade secrets and send him to jail."
"Don't you need to consider your aunt?"
"If there's nothing else, you can leave."
"What are you staying for?"
Samuel had already stood up and pulled Alexander out. "Of course he's staying to work overtime; don't
bother him."
Outside, Samuel put his arm around Alexander's shoulder, laughing.
"Don't you think it's a good thing that Harrison is getting the cold shoulder from Roxanne? At least we
can see him in the office and not have to look for him for work."
That was right. If this guy spent all his time with Roxanne only thinking about dating, all the work of the
group would fall on them, the unlucky two.
They would be very tired.
It was a good thing for them that Harrison was being given the cold shoulder by Roxanne and was now
working so hard.
"Never mind him. Let's go out and have fun tonight." Samuel said with a smile, putting his arm around
Alexander's shoulder.
Alexander took off the hand on his shoulder and said seriously, "No, Chloe said Aria is sick. I promised
to go to the hospital to see her."
After saying that, Alexander had already walked far away.
Samuel was puzzled. "Aria is not your biological daughter; why are you so eager to see her?"
Half a month passed.
It was a beautiful day in Seraphim Haven.
But Harrison was feeling pretty down in the dumps.
He just couldn't help it and wanted to see Roxanne.
But over the phone, Roxanne said she was swamped and told him not to come over and waste his
time.
Harrison felt bummed out.
He started doubting if he was even married to Roxanne, or was it all a figment of his imagination?
One day, after finishing her work, Roxanne called Harrison.
The phone kept ringing, but Harrison didn't pick up.
He was ticked off.
After a while, he texted Roxanne back curtly. "Busy".
He figured only then would Roxanne realize his importance.
Roxanne knew Harrison must be pissed off.
She had been busy for a whole month and completely neglected him.
How could he be happy about that?
Roxanne could understand his grouchy mood.
Fortunately, she had a day off and decided to return to Seraphim Haven and sweet-talk her man.
Back in Seraphim Haven, Roxanne went straight home.
She wanted to recreate the romantic atmosphere Harrison set up last time, so she decided to do some
decorations at home.
Ding Dong!
The doorbell rang.
Roxanne thought it was the flowers she ordered.
She opened the door, only to be greeted by a woman in her fifties.
She was dressed in a vintage dress and draped in a wool shawl. She wore a pair of chic white high
heels. She stood at the doorstep in a dignified and respectful manner.
"Mrs. Rodriguez, hello, I am a relative from your husband's side. I am here today to discuss something
with you. May I come in?"
A relative from her husband's side? Why was she dressed so fancy?
Weren't all her husband's relatives in the countryside? How could they possibly be so rich?
And wasn't the way she addressed her wrong? Mrs. Rodriguez?
It was very respectful, like she was someone of high status.
After feeling puzzled for a while, Roxanne warmly let her in.
The woman quickly placed the gifts she brought on the coffee table.
"Mrs. Rodriguez, this is a bag I bought yesterday; it’s a global limited edition. I hope you like it."
"Oh, and this set of jewelry is a family heirloom."
"Wait a minute, ma'am." Roxanne gestured to interrupt her. "Which side of my husband's family are you
from? And why are you calling me Mrs. Rodriguez? You're bringing so many valuable gifts; do you
need a favor from me?"
She could tell the woman's intent from her enthusiastic and respectful gaze.
The woman said, "Mrs. Rodriguez, you may not know your status yet. In fact, you have married the
wealthiest man in Seraphim Haven. Your husband, Harrison, is the heir to the Rodriguez Group."
Speaking of which, the woman seemed to be quite envious of her. "Mrs. Rodriguez, you're really lucky.
Many rich girls want to marry Harrison, but it seems Harrison only had eyes for you."
Roxanne was taken aback, not knowing what to say.
The woman continued. "It's not surprising though. You're beautiful and have a good personality.
Harrison is lucky to have married you."
Thinking she needed Roxanne's help, the woman kept showering her with compliments.
Roxanne was too stunned to take in any of it.
All she could think of was the fact that Harrison was the heir to the Rodriguez Group. She married the
richest man in Seraphim Haven?
