The Windfalls of Love (Roxanne and Harrison)

Chapter 247



Chapter 247

The idea of divorce was her initiative.

She didn't blame Harrison for his subsequent indifference.

But the wounds sprouted silently from her heart, and she couldn't suppress the pain.

Halfway across the room, she retreated.

She took off the camel-colored coat Harrison had draped over her and shoved it into his hands.

"The wind's pretty sharp, you wear it."

After returning his coat, she turned back around.

Snow was falling heavily, her slender waist stood straight and tall.

As she left, every step she took in the snow echoed with a crisp crunch.

It sounded decisive.

Just like her stride, swift and decisive.

But what Harrison didn't see was the moment she turned back, she shed tears.

She couldn't hold back anymore.

And yet, she didn't dare to cry openly, her back straight, even her sobs were restrained.

From the third-floor corridor, Dominic had a clear view of the snowy scene below.

He cast another glance at Harrison, who was standing a couple of hundred meters behind Roxanne.

In the vast, white snow, his imposing figure was eye-catching.

However, there was a sense of desolation in his tall, handsome figure.

Even the snowy sky seemed gloomy, somewhat oppressing.

As Dominic looked at Harrison, it seemed Harrison also looked up at the third floor.

A few seconds later, Dominic's phone buzzed with a WhatsApp message.

Harrison asked, [Are you in Warmville?]

Dominic responded, [I'm off-duty now, I don't think I need to report my whereabouts to you.]

As Harrison held his phone, he looked up again at the silhouette in the third-floor corridor, his brow

furrowed, his forehead creased tightly.

When he looked for Roxanne, she had already disappeared into the snow.

Nowhere to be seen.

The snow was only marked with a trail of footprints.

In his grip was the camel-colored coat Roxanne had returned to him.

Harrison looked down at it.

He remembered how six months ago, when they parted at the manor, he had returned the white T-shirt

Roxanne had bought him.

He gave it back to her through Anthony.

And he had said such heartless words.

What was Roxanne feeling at that time?

Harrison thought he was such a fool.

He even slapped himself.

He also thought he was quite useless.

His life was filled with lofty ambitions, he could easily handle anything strategically.

Except for romance.

It was a total mess!

By the time she reached her apartment door, Roxanne had already dried her tears.

As she fumbled for her keys, she saw Dominic emerging from the corridor.

In his hands, a bouquet of flowers.

Blue roses.

They were beautiful, quite striking.

Blue roses, also known as the blue enchantress, symbolize rare and precious love.

Roxanne had some understanding of flower language.

Even a fool would know the intention behind Dominic giving these blue roses.

But in the past six months, whenever Dominic visited her, it was more like catching up with an old

friend, sharing a meal, or sitting for a chat, never giving suggestive gifts.

Why did he suddenly bring blue roses today?

"Weren't you going abroad for a medical review? How did it go?" Roxanne greeted him first.

Dominic responded with a bright smile, "The results are very good!"

He was told by the foreign medical experts that the tumor in his brain no longer posed a threat to his

life.

Things were stable.

A weight lifted off his heart.

That was the reason why Dominic had brought the blue roses today.

Eight and a half years ago, a serious illness had forced Dominic to part with Roxanne. He had to lie to

her, claiming he had fallen for a rich girl.

He wanted to hurt her badly so she would forget him and start anew.

Even when he learned she had married the wealthiest man in Seraphim Haven, he still had no

confidence in his own life.

Now that the tumor in his brain was no longer a threat, he could take responsibility for Roxanne's

future.

This time, Dominic was determined not to let go.

Dominic didn't care about Harrison's presence.

Even though he knew Roxanne had just seen Harrison and had cried, her eyes still glimmered with

tears, it did not affect Dominic's resolve.

He handed her the bouquet of roses, "I saw these at a floral shop. They're such beautiful flowers, I

thought they might cheer you up."

Then, he took out a simple but fashionable gold necklace, "Roxanne, do you remember this necklace?

You gave it back to me when we broke up eight years ago."

"Why did you keep it?"

The necklace swayed before her eyes, rekindling many past memories for Roxanne.

If she had known about Dominic's illness back then, she wouldn't have broken up with him, she

wouldn't have let him suffer alone.

How ironic.

She thought Dominic had left her for a rich girl.

In reality, it was she who had left Dominic.

He handed the necklace to her, "It should return to its rightful owner."

Roxanne didn't take it.

Dominic said bluntly, "Roxanne, I want to win you back. Give me a chance."

What day was it today?

Harrison suddenly wanted to reconcile, and Dominic also wanted to win her back.

The pressure in her heart suddenly soared.

"Don't rush to reject me. I know you still have feelings for your ex-husband. Harrison is a formidable

rival, I know his influence on you."

Roxanne felt extremely complicated, "Dominic, if you had told me about your illness back then, we

would still be together now. But it's been eight and a half years, things have changed."

Both fell silent.

But Dominic didn't feel sad.

Compared to death, compared to the uncertainty of his health in the decades to come, being rejected

by Roxanne was a minor difficulty.

He actually laughed, "I knew this would be the result."

However, he wasn't sad at all.

"Why are you laughing?" Roxanne frowned.

He was rejected, yet he could still laugh so brightly?

Dominic was in high spirits.

Nothing could make him happier than the fact that he could continue to live healthily and pursue the girl NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

he loved.

Dominic tucked the necklace away, "I'll keep this safe for you."

One day, he wished for Roxanne to accept the necklace with joy.

"It's getting late, you should rest."

"Alright, you should also get some rest early."

"What about this rose?"

"I'll just consider it a gift from my big bro, thanks."

This time, being addressed as big bro, Dominic didn't feel as hurt as before, understanding Roxanne's

current state of mind.

Dominic planned to play a long game with Harrison.

After parting ways with Roxanne, Dominic left the factory.

By the roadside, he saw Harrison, legs crossed, leaning against his car door.

Upon seeing Dominic, Harrison rose from the car door, his face dark as he approached, "Did you come

to Warmville specifically to see Roxanne?"

"That doesn't seem to concern you." Dominic remained calm under Harrison's intense aura.

"You constantly hound my wife," Harrison's brows furrowed, his face showing signs of irritation, "You

say it has nothing to do with me?"

Dominic, cool as a cucumber, retorted, "Didn't you forget? You and Roxanne are divorced."
