Chapter 202
Roxanne gently pushed him away.
Harrison's chest and lips left her.
Harrison opened his eyes, his brows furrowed, his gaze heavy.
"What's wrong?" he asked.
Clearly, she hadn't enjoyed the intimacy just now.
A sharp pain gripped Harrison's heart as if being clawed at.
Roxanne looked at Harrison.
"Harrison, I don't want to get pregnant," she said, "You suddenly became the richest man in Seraphim
Haven, and I'm still adjusting. I'm worried we might not be a good match. If we have a kid, they might
suffer. My child needs to grow up in a happy and healthy family, and I don't want them to live like I did.
So, if we end up not being a good fit and get divorced, it's better if we don't have a kid."
Her answers were clear and decisive, her true thoughts with no hint of pretense or concealment.
She knew that as husband and wife, they should be honest with each other.
Especially now, with him being the richest man in Seraphim Haven, these things needed to be clear.
This made Harrison feel really down.
Frowning, he asked, "Are you saying you might still divorce me?"
"I didn't say I want to divorce, but if we're not suitable, forcing it won't do anyone any good," Roxanne
replied.
They were in an awkward position. He was on top of her when he had kissed her.
Now, his hopeful gaze turned gloomy.
He always thought he was charming, but in front of Roxanne, he felt like his charm had evaporated.
Roxanne adjusted her breathing, then reached up to unbutton Harrison's shirt. "You want to do it today,
don't you?"
Harrison didn't respond.
Roxanne continued, "As long as you use a condom, I can cooperate."
It had been more than a month since they last made love.
Roxanne knew Harrison must have needs.
Although she was still adjusting to Harrison's new status, she felt it was her duty as a wife.
Harrison saw through her thoughts.
Frowning, he looked at her painfully, "Roxanne, do you feel like having sex with me is a duty?"
Roxanne stopped at his question and looked at him.
He was angry.
He asked again, "Roxanne, I want to know what you thought every time we made love?"
Harrison didn't wait for her to answer. "Fine, you don't need to tell me."
Then he rolled over and left her to take a shower.
After the shower, he lay beside her but didn't get any closer.
They slept back to back, with no interaction whatsoever.
A notification sound from WhatsApp broke the silence.
Chloe asked if she was asleep.
Roxanne thought she would have a heart-to-heart with Chloe when she had the time.
She should also tell Chloe about Harrison being the richest man in Seraphim Haven.
Now was a good time for that.
Lying next to Harrison, she felt awkward anyway.
She hadn't felt so unsettled when she first found out he was the richest man in Seraphim Haven.
She sent Chloe a message, "What if I told you Harrison is the richest man in Seraphim Haven we
talked about before, the heir to the Rodriguez Group? Would you believe it?"
On the other end, Chloe stared at the screen, feeling guilty.
She knew Harrison's true identity before Roxanne, didn't she?
It was time to be honest.
No matter how Roxanne reacted, she had to tell the truth.
Chloe replied to Roxanne, "Actually, I knew about Harrison's identity as the richest man in Seraphim
Haven when I was in Novaria."
“You've known that Harrison is the richest man in Seraphim Haven? How did you know? Why didn't you
tell me sooner?”
"I overheard a conversation between Harrison and Alexander. Anne, Harrison didn't want to hide it from
you. He truly loves you, so don't blame him.”
Roxanne didn't reply.
"I heard you guys have been having problems recently. Anne, he's such a noble man, willing to give up
his status as the richest man in Seraphim Haven for you, forgive him.”
"I'm not blaming him. I just need to reconsider our marriage.”
"Anne, what else do you need to consider? It's not easy to find another man as excellent as Harrison.”
"You don't understand.”
"Anne, I do understand. You've gone through 28 rough years, finally have a chance to settle down, and
found someone who shelters you from the storm; it wasn't easy.”
"Chloe, there's no such thing as a lifelong shelter; the only one who can protect me from the storm is
my own strength and effort. I don't want to rely on a man.”
Chloe didn't reply.
"Of course, I will try to adjust to Harrison's status as the richest man in Seraphim Haven and try to
make this marriage work.”
But whether she and Harrison were suitable, she didn't have the answer.
Without replying to Chloe, she put her phone on the bedside table.
She carefully turned around, looking at Harrison's back.
His aura was extraordinary. Even from the back, he exuded a powerful presence.
She should have noticed that he wasn't ordinary.
How could she be so foolish, so naive to think he was just a bankrupt man, having to return to the IT
industry as a regular employee?
At the end of the day, it wasn't that he hid it well. It was just that she was so desperate for an equal,
peaceful married life.
Roxanne leaned into Harrison, her hand gently wrapping around his waist.
Her hand was shaking, her cheek against his straight back.
His back immediately tensed up.
Was she finally willing to embrace him on her own?
Just a taste of sweetness and Harrison had forgotten all his grievances, leaving behind all his losses.
He quickly turned around, grabbed Roxanne's slender waist, and pulled her into his arms.
He gently pinched her nose, and his voice filled with grievance, "Finally willing to pay me some
attention, huh?"
"Harrison," Roxanne said anxiously in his arms, "I wish you were just an ordinary salaryman, not the
richest man in Seraphim Haven."
If that were the case, she wouldn't feel uneasy about their different statuses.
She wouldn't be confused and afraid of the unknown future.
Harrison was a bit helpless. So many women adored him because he was the richest man in Seraphim
Haven.
But with Roxanne, she didn't like that about him? This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.
The more anxious and scared Roxanne felt in his arms, the tighter she held him.
Harrison could no longer hold back. He took the initiative, gently pressing her down.
He undressed her.
The pink nightgown, the dark robe, the light underwear, and the dark panties were all scattered on the
carpet beside the bed.
Their clothes entwined, just like them in bed.
The next morning, Roxanne got up and took a bath. When she put on clean underwear, she noticed a
bit of blood.
She thought her period had come, and her stomach ached a bit.
But today wasn't her period.
She took a pad from her suitcase, put it in her underwear, and then washed her hands.
Suddenly, a strong arm wrapped tightly around her waist.
Harrison held her, kissing her ear, "Why are you up so early?"
"Hmm." Roxanne looked at the man in the mirror.
She still couldn't believe that the man she had lived with for half a year was the richest man in
Seraphim Haven.
She was ordinary and had nothing. How did she end up marrying the richest man in Seraphim Haven?
"Since you're up, I can take you to see our new house, then we'll move in. From now on, we'll live in my
villa." He suggested.
Roxanne unwrapped the arms around her waist, turned around, and looked at him with a frown.
"Harrison, I'm sorry, I bought a plane ticket for two hours later. I'm going back to Warmville."
"You're leaving already?" Harrison asked with a frown.
"Hmm." Roxanne nodded, "Can't help it. There's a lot to deal with in Warmville."
Harrison wasn't happy. She had just come back yesterday and hadn't spent much time with him.
As the CEO of a company with over 40,000 employees, he wasn't as busy as her.
His face suddenly darkened, "You don't have to work so hard. As my wife, you can relax. You don't
need to keep running your company."
"Harrison." Roxanne cut him off, "I made it clear yesterday. I can forgive you for hiding your identity
from me, but it doesn't mean I can accept your new identity."
She was slightly angry, "You want me to give up my career for you, but I don't think you're that
attractive."
No man could make her give up her career.
She was very serious, not joking at all.
The madness, the passion of last night suddenly disappeared at this moment.
