The Windfalls of Love novel Chapter 292

Roxanne didn't turn around.

She still stood facing the direction of the security check, holding little Angela in her arms.

The voice from behind sent a chill down her spine, causing her to clutch Angela tighter.

"Mommy, what's wrong?" Angela noticed the change in her mother.

Angela's chubby hand, which had been wrapped around her mother's neck, reached out to touch Roxanne's face. "Mommy, why are you so nervous?"

Roxanne fluttered her tear-stained lashes weakly, "Nothing, darling, mommy isn't nervous."

Her trembling voice betrayed her.

Angela planted a kiss on her mom's cheek.

Just when she was about to comfort her mom, she suddenly noticed Mr. Hard standing behind her mom.

Oh no!

Did dad hear what she just said to Uncle Dominic?

Would he be angry?

After all, she had told Uncle Dominic that she only wanted him, not her dad.

Even for the Tuesday field trip, she wouldn't take dad with her.

What if dad got angry? What would happen then?

Would he, like Uncle Dominic, suddenly leave Angela too?

Her bright eyes began to blink rapidly.

She racked her brain, trying to figure out what to do next?

Should she try to flatter him?

When she spoke, her voice was soft and sweet. "Daddy, what are you doing here? You look so handsome today."

Harrison walked over, coming to stand in front of the mother and daughter.

He reached out his long arm, taking Angela from Roxanne's arms.

Angela quickly wrapped her arms around Harrison's neck, "Daddy, you look so handsome today."

"Such a sweet talker." Harrison looked at his daughter with indulgence.

Had Dominic not let go, he wouldn't be able to see his daughter and wife now.

Roxanne might have taken Angela and followed Dominic to live in another city.

Harrison held Angela tighter.

When he looked at Roxanne, her fragile body bore a tragic beauty.

The tears in her eyes, her broken sorrow, struck Harrison's heart.

Harrison wanted to give himself a hard slap.

Had he not been such a fool, Roxanne wouldn't be so lost.

Taking one hand off Angela, he reached out to pull Roxanne's hand. "I heard what you just said."

"I didn't say anything."

Roxanne quickly pulled her hand back.

Avoiding his burning gaze, she fluttered her tear-filled lashes weakly.

"You must have heard wrong."

At the boarding gate.

Dominic handed his boarding pass to the flight attendant, then turned to look back.

In the direction he was looking, stood the woman he loved.

He wondered, with his departure, would his beloved realize her true feelings and embrace happiness again?

Despite his many concerns and reluctance, he turned around and resolutely walked into the boarding bridge.

Dominic wasn't going abroad for work this time.

He just wanted an excuse to leave Seraphim Haven, to leave Roxanne, and let her be happy.

He wondered if Angela could get used to his absence, and if Roxanne could handle raising a child alone?

He forgot that there was Fiona, and another nanny to help with the child.

With them around, Roxanne wouldn't be overwhelmed.

His worries were unnecessary.

As he passed the boarding bridge and arrived at the cabin door, Dominic kept looking back.

A young woman, dressed in fashionable clothes, wearing sunglasses, and a headscarf, entered Dominic's sight.

But he didn't notice.

He kept looking in the direction of the boarding gate.

It was only when the flight attendant urged him to board the plane that he finally got on.

In business class.

Dominic sat in the aisle seat.

As the plane began to taxi, a flight attendant came over to check on him and found that he hadn't fastened his seat belt.

She bent over and said with a smile, "Sir, the plane is about to take off. Could you please fasten your seat belt?"

Dominic was lost in his thoughts and didn't hear the flight attendant's kind reminder.

The flight attendant patiently reminded him again.

He still didn't respond.

The fashionable young woman sitting by the window waved at the flight attendant.

"You go ahead. I'll help him fasten his seat belt."

It wasn't until Dominic noticed the woman next to him fastening his seat belt that he snapped out of his thoughts.

He shot the woman an unfriendly look. "What are you doing?"
