Chapter 251
"The situation with 6G technology has always been a bit tense on the international stage."
Harrison ruffled Roxanne''s hair, as if to reassure her.
"But don''t worry. I''ll handle it. I just need to fly out to California right away."
6G technology was something Roxanne was well acquainted with.
The phone she was currently using was a product of 6G technology.
6G technology covered many technological fields.
It yed a crucial role in remote surgeries in the medical field, for example, and in some important
defensive applications.
Certain international factions had always been pouncing to snatch this advanced technology.
This battle between 6G technology and international giants was something Roxanne got caught up in
once before.
She almost got taken out by a few mercenaries from overseas.
This heavy burden suddenly appeared like a huge stone crushing down on Roxanne''s heart.
She was worried sick about Harrison.
"Are you going there alone?"
"Don''t worry. Alexander will being along, and we''ll have bodyguards."
If it wasn''t so urgent, Harrison would have definitely gone to get their marriage license with Roxanne
first.
"I need to head to the airport now," he said with regret. "You wait here for a bit. I''ll have Anthonye
pick you up."
"Hold on a moment."
Roxanne pulled out an amulet from her bag.
She had obtained it from a church in Warmville.
At that time, she had gone to pray herself.
She had got amulets for herself and Chloe.
She saw a pregnant woman next to her was about to get an amulet for her husband.
The woman''s husband worked at apany during the day and drove for a ride-hailing service at
night.
To make payments on their house and raise their child, he worked tirelessly, often almost dozing off
while driving.
Fearing for her husband''s safety, the pregnant woman asked for an amulet, hoping it would protect him.
Sometimes, it was good to have faith.
In that moment, Roxanne thought of Harrison.
Although she had been divorced from Harrison for more than half a year, she still cared deeply for him.
She also wondered, if she and Harrison could be like the pregnant couple, just an ordinary couple,
would they be happier?
But upon reflection, it wasn''t about status.
Ordinary couples had their own troubles, and so did rich people.
No matter who Harrison was or whether they would fight or argue again in the future, being together
was all that mattered.
Even if it was just for one day, they needed to get along and love each other well.
She handed the amulet to Harrison. "I asked for this especially for you. Take it, it''ll bring you good luck."
Even though Harrison was a highly educated individual, he respected the religious culture that had
been passed down for years.
Moreover, they, as businessmen, also believed in these things.
In past years, when conducting real estate business, they encountered some incidents when driving
piles into the ground, and they had to perform religious ceremonies to resolve these issues.
Harrison gratefully epted it.
"I''ll take it every day, never leaving it without me."
"Good. I was going to visit dad first, but I will wait until you return and we have our license. Then we
can give him a surprise."
"Okay."
"I''ll get going. You should hurry to the airport."
As Roxanne was about to get out, Harrison pulled her back in and ruffled her hair. "Wait for me."
Roxanne nodded with a smile. "I will."
After saying goodbye to Harrison, Roxanne headed straight to Chloe''s house.
Chloe had prepared a fancy dinner for today.
She had prepared it for Roxanne, thinking that after she and Harrison got back together, they would
surely go to President Rodriguez to share the good news.
With therge amount of the dishes, Chloe and the kids couldn''t finish it all, so they invited Dominic
over.

Halfway through the dinner, the doorbell rang.
Seeing Roxanne at the door, Chloe was a bit surprised.
"Anne, weren''t you and Harrison going to handle the marriage paperwork?"
"Harrison had to fly to California on urgent business. We''ll deal with it when he gets back."
After changing her shoes, she sauntered into the house.
The smell of the dishes made her stomach rumble. "You guys started without me, huh? I''m starving."
Walking up to the dining table, she noticed Dominic who had stood up. Her smile froze.
Probably because Dominic had confessed his affection to her yesterday, and yet she was about to
remarry Harrison today, she felt like she was ying with Dominic''s feelings.
She felt guilty.
"Dominic, you''re here."
"Yeah." Dominic looked at her with mixed feelings. "I heard you and Harrison are getting your marriage
license?"
Roxanne didn''t know how to face Dominic, but she knew she had to tell him. "Harrison had to fly to
California on urgent business. We''ll deal with it when he gets back."
"That''s good news."
Dominic was still smiling as he fetched clean te for Roxanne to join them.
However, he identally knocked the te over.
While cleaning up, he identally knocked over the drink Aria was having.
The table and floor were instantly a mess, much like his tangled emotions.
Chloe hurriedly helped to clean up.
Finally, when everything was cleaned up, they all sat down to dine.
On the surface, Dominic was still smiling, "Roxanne, nothing beats marrying your first love. I wish you
and Harrison all the best."
He raised his drink, proposing a toast with Roxanne.
Roxanne raised hers at once. "Dominic, thank you! Thank you for your blessing."
Back then, if Dominic hadn''t concealed his illness and lied to her that he had fallen into a rich girl,
forcing them to break up, she would not have traveled to another ce.
She would not have met Vincent.
And she wouldn''t have gotten involved with Harrison because of Vincent.
Dominic had rendered her the possibility.
"Dominic, you''re the closest person to me in my life."
Dominic smiled.
His smile was a little helpless.
And a little sad.
But he was also very straightforward. "You know, thest thing I want is to be just a closest friend of
you. But don''t worry, this time I truly wish you well."
Having faced life and death, Dominic had a more rxed perspective on many things.
There were various sufferings in life.
Birth, aging, sickness, death, unfulfilled desires, meetings with those one despised, separation from
those one loved.
Dominic had only experienced the bitterness of unfulfilled desires.
He was lucky. God had spared him from all the other sufferings, allowing him to live a few more years.
He should be grateful.
Roxanne choked up as she listened to his words. "Dominic, I''m so grateful."
"If you really want to thank me, stop threatening to divorce Harrison every time you get upset. You two
need to understand and tolerate each other. You need tomunicate properly and stop throwing
tantrums."
"Got it, Dominic!"
"Since being your closest friend, I''ll have to worry about whether you and Harrison are getting along."
As they spoke, tears welled up in their eyes. Their gazes met, each filled with a different emotion.
Chloe, feeling a bit mncholic, interjected. "Alright, enough with the sentimental stuff. Let''s just focus
on enjoying our meal. There''s so much food here."
Dominic started eating, "Roxanne, be careful. Harrison''s 6G technology has caught the attention of
some powerful people abroad. They''re nning to target those closest to him."
"Harrison assigned me some bodyguards before he left for California. Don’t worry." Roxanne was
somewhat aware of the situation.
Harrison had been in California for over a month. During this time, he called Roxanne every day.
Roxanne, however, was still busy, taking flights between Seraphim Haven and Warmville.
The flowers in Seraphim Haven were blooming beautifully with the arrival of spring.
One day, as she drove to work, she admired the vibrant kapok trees lining the road.
Suddenly, she realized it was already March.
Shouldn''t she have gotten her period in mid-February? Now it was already early March and she still
hadn''t gotten it?
Would it be those two times she had with Harrison on the ne leading to her pregnancy?
