The Windfalls of Love novel Chapter 231

Roxanne thought she had already forgotten about this guy, but when Harrison suddenly appeared before her, his cold indifferent face made her heart crumble in an instant.

For the past month or so, she had been forcing herself to go through the motions of a normal life, eating, sleeping, working to make money.

She told herself she couldn't keep moping about him, she couldn't keep dwelling on the divorce, and she definitely couldn't keep thinking about him.

She needed to let go of him, to find peace, and to become the unbreakable version of herself again.

But in reality, she had overestimated herself. She wasn't able to let go that easily.

Upon seeing Harrison, Roxanne stopped in her tracks as if her feet had taken root.

She desperately wanted to get away, but she felt powerless. She felt a surge of panic, as if her blood was flowing in reverse.

All she could do was stare at Harrison, not blinking an eye.

Roxanne wanted to greet him, to ask him how he had been in the past month.

She was about to say something.

"Mr. Harrison, do you know her?" A middle-aged man with glasses standing next to Harrison interrupted Roxanne.

Harrison casually averted his gaze from her, "I don't know her."

After saying that, he simply walked away.

His neatly pressed suit brushed past her, bringing with it a gust of wind.

All the words Roxanne wanted to say got stuck in her throat, never getting the chance to be voiced.

He said he didn't know her!

The man who once loved her deeply, who held her in a passionate embrace, said he didn't know her.

The cold air from the corridor's air conditioning made her feel even colder. Her chest hurt, as did her stomach.

Roxanne told herself it was just because the air conditioning was too cold.

She was fine, she wasn't upset. She straightened up and started walking.

"Harrison, wait for me. It's strange that you wanted to come here for dinner." Alexander was approaching from the front.

He was originally looking for Harrison, but stopped in his tracks when he noticed Roxanne looking a bit pale.

"Roxanne?" Alexander finally understood why Harrison had chosen to come to this neither high-end nor famous hotel.

"Long time no see." Alexander didn't know what else to say.

Roxanne also felt a bit awkward, "Not that long, just over a month."

Over a month. Because of the divorce, this period of over a month felt like a century.

Alexander started asking about Roxanne, "How have you been recently? Is everything okay with the new company you started? Do you need any help?"

"Everything is fine."

Alexander pointed in the direction Harrison had left, "Did Harrison just greet you?"

"Huh? Is Harrison here?" Roxanne pretended to be ignorant, "I was looking at my phone just now, and I didn't notice him."

Alexander was speechless. His question was so lame. It was obvious that Harrison hadn't greeted Roxanne.

Harrison was so high and mighty. He would definitely pretend not to know Roxanne. Why did he even need to ask?

Thinking of this, Alexander said, "Well, I would like to invite you, Chloe and the kids over to my house for dinner."

Roxanne declined straight away, "I might be busy for a while. I have something else to do. I'll go first." Roxanne turned around and left without hesitation.

Alexander hurriedly followed her into the private room. The bespectacled Noah was making a call by the window, while Harrison was casually flipping through the menu.

Alexander walked over, deliberately making a loud noise as he pulled out a chair to sit down, "Harrison, did you choose to have the meal here today because Roxanne is here? Are you missing her a lot?"
