Chapter 239


    There was no point in discussing their divorce.


    Ever since the papers were signed a few weeks back, Roxanne hade 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 pleasee

    back and help Harrison, for my sake?"


    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 ced 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 rtionship 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 andfort 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 nning on going back


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


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


    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 mncholic. "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, insteadplimenting 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 wouldst. 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."


    Dominicughed, "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 be 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 copse under the attack from foreign


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


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


    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 hisputer.


    His hands danced on the keyboard, cking 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 ites 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 toe back?"


    "Did Roxannee 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."
