The Windfalls of Love (Roxanne and Harrison)

Chapter 228

Be on time! When Roxanne saw that message, she couldn't help but roll her eyes.

Did that guy really need to remind her to be on time for their divorce appointment?

She knew perfectly well that they agreed to meet at 9 a.m. to finalize the divorce procedures.

Anthony, the guy’s butler, arrived early at her place in East Adjacent Estates in a flashy Rolls Royce

that turned heads in the neighborhood.

She had opted for a mortgage for her small condo in East Adjacent Estates because it was developed

by a small company and was more affordable.

She could just about afford it. Meanwhile, the property developed by a well-known company just a

kilometer away was significantly pricier per square meter.

The outrageous property prices in a big city like that one were nuts.

Even if she scrimped and saved, there was no way she could afford a house that expensive.

The cheaper neighborhoods lacked the same quality of environment and amenities, and the residents

certainly didn't drive Rolls-Royce.

So, when Anthony’s car was parked outside her building, she always felt like there was a gaping chasm

between her and Harrison.

"Mrs. Rodriguez, Mr. Harrison sent me to pick you up. He is in a hurry as he has an important meeting

at 10," said Anthony as he opened the car door for her. She gave him a polite 'thank you' and got into Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

the car.

"Mrs. Rodriguez, please fasten your seatbelt," Anthony sounded a bit down today.

Perhaps he was affected by the impending divorce.

After the divorce, Mr. Harrison would probably go back to being his cold, distant self, and they would

have to tread lightly around him.

Roxanne fastened her seatbelt and told him, "Anthony, you should stop calling me Mrs. Rodriguez.

Soon, I won't be Harrison's wife anymore."

She hadn't had time to get used to being Mrs. Rodriguez, and at that point she was already about to be

divorced. It all happened within the span of just two or three months.

Anthony didn't know what to say, so he just got back in the driver's seat and drove off.

The weather in Seraphim Haven was unpredictable. It was sunny when she got in the car, but by the

time they reached their destination, the sky had turned gloomy as if it was about to rain.

As Roxanne got out of the car, a gust of wind hit her, chilling her to the bone.

Her mood matched the weather, a mixture of complicated emotions and pain, with not a hint of warmth.

Anthony led her to a private office, where city hall officials were all gathered around Harrison.

It was clear Harrison had pulled some strings. He didn't want to wait in line; he wanted to get that over

with as quickly as possible.

Roxanne walked over, her feelings a whirlpool of emotions.

Seeing Harrison, she wanted to tell him she didn't want to divorce. They could discuss her issue of

being a full-time housewife.

She still hoped for a chance. She had insisted on divorce, hoping that it would change Harrison's mind,

to let her have her own job.

But she never expected that even after she brought up divorce, Harrison would still stick to his guns.

That time, they were really getting a divorce.

She had a lot to tell him, to communicate with him, but when she opened her mouth, no words came

out.

Harrison made his stance clear.

"Roxanne, think it through. If you stay with me, I'll ensure you live a life of comfort and happiness. But if

you insist on divorce, the next time we meet, it'll act as if I never knew you."

At that moment, Roxanne swallowed the words she wanted to say.

The sudden storm outside momentarily distracted Roxanne.

She looked out the window. It was sunny when they arrived, but at that moment it was pouring with

rain.

The change in weather was as unpredictable as Harrison's attitude.

She suddenly realized that he was no longer the IT worker who started from scratch after bankruptcy.

He was the wealthiest man in Seraphim Haven. Someone like him wouldn't waste his emotions on

anyone.

She didn't deny that Harrison had been good to her, but when he decided to leave, he would be more

decisive than her.

He was, after all, a businessman.

"Roxanne, think carefully before making your decision," Harrison said, looking at her.

His eyes were deep, and she couldn't clearly read his emotions.

He took out a contract and handed it to her, saying, "This is the contract you drafted when we got

married. If we divorce, you won't get any premarital assets."

"Just follow the marriage contract," Roxanne took the contract, her expression natural.

But her hand holding the contract trembled slightly.

Harrison didn't respond immediately, just looked at her silently.

He seemed to want to see the emotions he hoped for in her eyes, but she was really too calm, too

determined, which he didn’t expect.

He gritted his teeth, "Fine! Saves me a lot of trouble."

"Let's start the procedure then, don't want to keep you from your important meeting. Anthony

mentioned you have one at 10, right?" Roxanne handed all her identification documents to the officials.

The officials took the documents and looked at Harrison.

Harrison's face was grim, "Follow her wish, proceed according to the prenuptial agreement."

At that moment, Roxanne received a message on her phone. It was from Chloe.

Chloe asked Roxanne, [Are you really going to divorce? Harrison is reliable, why not consider it again?]

Roxanne didn't reply to her message. She knew too well that marrying Harrison was like securing a

good safety net.

Harrison, with his wealth and power, could provide her with a lavish life. But relying on someone was

really terrifying.

What if that person suddenly decided to leave one day?

She had experienced that kind of heart-shattering pain before.

The divorce procedures were fast. In less than two minutes, Harrison and Roxanne each held a copy of

their divorce certificate.

When they left, the rain didn't stop. Instead, it came down even harder.

Roxanne, standing under the cover of the steps, turned to Harrison and said, "About dad."

She found it awkward to call Vincent 'Dad' when they got married.

And when they divorced, it felt even weirder to her.

"I'll tell Vincent the truth when I have the chance," she said.

"No need," Harrison replied, his face gloomier than the stormy sky.

Roxanne then suggested, "How about a farewell dinner with me tonight?"

She planned to discuss the mortgage he had paid for her and how she could repay him.

"No need," Harrison waved to Anthony.

Anthony, holding a large black umbrella, quickly put it over Harrison's head.

Anthony glanced at Roxanne in the wind, wanting to say something, but Harrison had already walked

away, so he had to follow closely.

Roxanne watched as Harrison got in the car, which quickly disappeared into the torrential rain.

The rain was getting heavier, and despite being more than ten meters away from the slanted curtain of

rain, Roxanne's face was covered in raindrops.

Her clothes were slowly getting soaked, and it felt like her heart was being soaked in a cold pool of

water.

She texted Harrison, saying she'd repay him the loan he helped her with once she sold her house.

She hit send, but a red exclamation mark indicated that the message had failed to be sent.

She thought it was a signal issue.

After checking and finding her signal was fine, she tried to resend it, only to be greeted by the red

exclamation mark again.

That was when it hit her that she had been blocked by Harrison.
