The Windfalls of Love (Roxanne and Harrison)

Chapter 194

Don't be sad. You can't be sad! Roxanne was reminding herself while also feeling angry about her own

naivety and stupidity.

She was tricked, yet she thought she had found a rare gem of a husband. Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

What pissed her off wasn't just Harrison Rodriguez hiding his identity.

He was the richest man in Seraphim Haven, and with such a huge family business and fortune, tricking

her was somewhat justified.

She understood that but what made her angry was, how could that man so easily propose a breakup?

Maybe because those two things happened at the same time, it was harder for her to accept.

After hanging up the phone, she started working.

Harrison called several more times, but she hung up, not wanting to respond to him.

No one ever dared to hang up on Harrison's call. Roxanne was the first.

Harrison felt lost and frustrated. He was usually calm, but then he couldn't keep his cool.

He kept calling.

He thought, “This woman only cares about work. I just made a casual comment, and she actually wants

to divorce me? Am I really not that important to her?”

"Roxanne, your phone's been ringing non-stop." A coworker reminded her.

Roxanne, holding back her anger, calmly replied, "It's nothing. Just ignore it; it's a call from an

advertiser."

It was then past eleven at night. Were they still advertising calls at that hour?

The coworker speculated, "Roxanne, are you having problems with your husband?"

Roxanne chuckled, "No, we're doing great. Keep working."

Harrison kept calling her, so she had to step outside to take the call.

"Roxanne, what do you mean, you want to divorce me?" His voice was filled with dissatisfaction and

anger.

Roxanne snorted, "Wasn't it you who said it's pointless for us to be together and that we might as well

split up?"

"I was just speaking off the cuff." Harrison knew he had made a mistake.

He started explaining, "Have you ever considered how many times you've ignored me? All you see is

your work."

"Harrison, can you just casually say we should break up? I thought you were a responsible man."

Roxanne felt disappointed and added, "Harrison, you guys are really weird. If a woman doesn't earn

money, you despise her for being useless. If a woman earns money, you blame her for neglecting the

family."

"You're comparing me to the likes of Oliver Lewis?" Harrison's voice suddenly rose.

He didn't know what got into him; he was usually very calm. But when it came to Roxanne, he couldn't

keep his cool, especially when he felt neglected and misunderstood.

He said, "Even if you didn't make a dime, I could support you. How could I possibly be like Oliver? How

could I possibly despise you for not earning money?"

"Right." Roxanne chuckled, "You do have the ability to support me."

"But I've never liked being dependent on a man. I made that clear when we got married. I can't not

work and just stay at home as a housewife."

She calmed down and continued, "Harrison, you need to think carefully about whether you can accept

my career being more important than anything else. If you can’t, I think it’s best for us to separate. If we

do separate, the prenuptial agreement I gave you on the day we got our marriage certificate will come

in handy. You can rest assured that I won't cause you any trouble."

Even if he was the richest man in Seraphim Haven, so what? She didn't care about the wealth and

social status that came with him.

What she wanted was an honest, responsible husband, which had nothing to do with his wealth and

status.

So, if they were to divorce, she wouldn't ask for any of his property.

With that, she hung up the phone.

January in Warmville was actually quite cold. It was much colder than Seraphim Haven.

There was no heating outside the workshop. Roxanne felt a bit cold.

Usually, she was quite resistant to cold, but at that time the wind blowing on her felt like a knife cutting

through her body.

Snowflakes were even falling from the sky.

She had never seen snow in Seraphim Haven.

Looking at the sparse snowfall in the sky, Roxanne's thoughts drifted off.

At the age of four, most children were being spoiled in their parents' arms. But she was kneeling in front

of her mother, clinging to her legs, begging her mother to take her away.

Her mother forcefully pushed her away, saying that she was a burden, and she couldn't remarry if she

brought her along.

She had already forgotten what her mother looked like. She couldn't remember clearly.

But what she did remember very clearly was that it was a snowy day.

When her mother abandoned her, her heart was like ice, completely frozen.

From then on, Roxanne understood that one can't rely on anyone.

If she was hungry, she would find something to eat.

If she got beaten, she would fight back.

If she fell, she would pick herself up.

If it rained, she would find a place to take shelter.

Security was something you had to seek for yourself. You couldn't rely on anyone.

She wouldn't let a little emotional turbulence make her fall into sadness and cry.

It was no big deal, right? Everyone has had emotional setbacks.

Even though Chloe divorced and had a child, she was still doing well.

So could she. She still enjoyed the hustle and the feeling of making money.

Roxanne didn't hesitate to return to the assembly line and continue working.

She could only feel secured and satisfied when she earned money and got paid.

She was not a procrastinator. When it came to work, she was very focused.

For several days in a row, Roxanne didn't contact Harrison, and Harrison didn't reach out to her either.

The two of them were in a standoff, neither acknowledging the other.

At noon, Roxanne was having lunch in the cafeteria with the factory workers.

Roxanne ate heartily, ready to get back to work when she was full.

The TV directly across from the cafeteria was broadcasting news about the richest family in Seraphim

Haven recently investing a significant amount of money in the development of 7G-Technology.

7G-Technology would have far-reaching implications for the country's development.

6G-Technology was already awesome, and now they were pushing for 7G-Technology? They were

really the big shots in the tech world.

Babette, the receptionist sitting nearby, casually mentioned, "Roxanne, I heard the richest guy in

Seraphim Haven's 7G-Technology is going to be wicked. All the big wigs in the tech world are green

with envy."

"Really?" Roxanne responded.

Of course, it was this envy that drove competition.

She was sure that her bizarre kidnapping in Novaria was somehow connected to the 6G-Technology.

At that time, Harrison brought several helicopters to rescue her, and she actually bought his story.

Babette added, "Roxanne, your husband is from Seraphim Haven too; does he have any ties to the

wealthiest family there?"

Roxanne used to be unaffected by such questions, but then they felt a bit ironic.

Her husband had actually been the richest man in Seraphim Haven, but she had been clueless.

She paused her meal, looked at Babette across the table, and said, "What if I told you my husband is

the richest man in Seraphim Haven? Would you believe me?"

Babette replied, "Roxanne, are you pulling my leg? If he's really the richest man in Seraphim Haven,

would you be busting your chops running this little factory?"
