The Windfalls of Love (Roxanne and Harrison)

Chapter 239

There was no point in discussing their divorce.

Ever since the papers were signed a few weeks back, Roxanne had come to a certain realization. She

and Harrison were just not meant to be.

"I've already divorced him. Let's not bring up the past."

Changing the subject, Roxanne watched as Dominic walked over with coffee. She returned to the main

topic.

"Dominic, Rodriguez Group's 6G-Technology project can't go on without you. Could you please come

back and help Harrison, for my sake?" Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

She was pleading, her eyes full of desperation. She knew Dominic still had feelings for her, and she

was exploiting that to get him to agree. It was a low move, but she had to do it. She couldn't bear to

see Harrison struggle.

Dominic placed the cup on the coffee table. "Let's have a seat and talk."

Roxanne sat across from him, feel a bit awkward as she awaited his response. As he poured the

coffee, he tried to lighten the mood.

"Roxanne, you must know that Harrison and I had a fight. Our relationship isn’t good at the moment.

You can't expect me to help your ex-husband just because you brought me a fruit basket."

"I'll treat you to a meal," Roxanne quickly offered.

"Just one meal?" Dominic raised his eyebrows.

"Well." Roxanne was at a loss for words.

"I'm just teasing you," Dominic said with an easy smile. He wanted to reach out and comfort her, but

quickly withdrew his hand.

They were no longer together, and she was in love with another man now. They was no way to turn

back time.

Lightening the mood, he casually mentioned, "Even if you hadn't asked, I was planning on going back

to the 6G-Technology team. The salary Harrison offered was quite high, not to mention the year-end

bonus. It would be foolish to give up a job with that generous salary."

Roxanne felt a pang of guilt. Dominic was agreeing to help because of her, yet he pretended it was for

his own benefit, trying to make her feel better.

"Dominic." Roxanne's voice cracked. "Why are you so good to me?"

There was a pause as both of them fell into silence. Roxanne picked up her cup of coffee and took a

sip, while Dominic watched her, reflecting on their shared history.

Suddenly, he sounded melancholic. "Roxanne, do you think I'm a failure?"

He had promised her a stable home, a family, and a lifetime together. But he hadn’t fulfilled any of

those promises.

"Of course not. You're amazing. Even Rodriguez Group, a huge conglomerate, can't do without your

expertise."

Understanding the implication, Roxanne chose not to address it directly, instead complimenting his

skills to change the subject. They shared a bittersweet smile.

After a moment, Roxanne's smile faded. "Dominic, what about the tumor in your brain? Do you still

need surgery?"

"It's stable for now," Dominic replied, but he didn't know how long it would last. He maintained a calm

demeanor and reassured her, "Don't worry, I'm fine for now."

"Dominic." Roxanne paused. "From now on, you're like a brother to me. If you ever get sick, I'll take

care of you."

Dominic laughed, "I'm only three months older than you."

"But you're still older."

"Alright then, you're my little sister from now on. If you ever need anything, I'll be there for you."

Though Dominic's words were filled with a cheerful tone, his heart was broken. No one wanted to see

their beloved become their sibling.

The next day, Dominic returned to Harrison's 6G-Technology team. His absence had left a gaping hole

in the team's core, and they had been on the verge of collapse under the attack from foreign

competitors. But with Dominic back, things were finally looking up.

In addition to being the group's CEO, Harrison was also a computer whiz. Therefore, once Dominic left,

he had no choice but to step up to the plate.

For several days straight, he practically lived at the office.

When Dominic returned, the rest of the team cheered, "Dominic is back, Mr. Harrison, Dominic is back!"

Dominic didn’t waste anytime. He walked straight to his desk and took a seat in front of his computer.

His hands danced on the keyboard, clacking away.

In just three hours, he had solved the challenging problem that had stumped the entire team.

Alexander patted him on the shoulder, "Domi, you truly live up to your reputation. With you on board,

you’re worth five Harrison."

Harrison sat in the corner and had a dark expression.

Alexander couldn't help but critique him, "Don't be so unwilling to admit it, Harrison. When it comes to

technical expertise, you were never on par with Domi."

"Didn't you say you’re not doing this anymore?" Harrison looked at Dominic. He felt grateful, but he was

too proud to express it openly.

Dominic was still upset with Harrison over his divorce with Roxanne, and he responded coldly, "If it

weren’t for Roxanne’s sake, do you think I’d want to come back?"

"Did Roxanne come to see you?" Harrison frowned, deep in thought.

"Step out there." Dominic stood up. He needed to have a talk with Harrison.

They walked from the tech department to the far end of the corridor.

Standing by a bright floor-to-ceiling window, got straight to the point, "When are you going to ask for a

reconciliation?"

"Is that your idea, or is it hers?" Harrison retorted.

"Do you really expect a woman to ask for a reconciliation?" Dominic almost wanted to punch Harrison

again.

Harrison absentmindedly put his hands in his trouser pockets, "I appreciate your help, but that doesn't

give you the right to meddle in my marital affairs."
