Chapter 297


    Little Ang was just too adorable.


    Outside, a storm was raging, the kind that would wake any child in fright. Yet here was Ang,


    sleeping soundly in the midst of it all, dreaming about her favorite foods. She was indeed a little foodie.


    Sitting by her bedside for an extended period, Harrison was filled with fatherly affection. How could


    Roxanne have given birth to such a cute child? She was just too adorable, too endearing.


    Seeing Ang sleep so soundly, drooling slightly and smiling in her sleep, Harrison''s heart softened.


    If it wasn''t for Roxanne''s determination and perseverance to bring this child into the world, he wouldn''t


    have the blessing of witnessing this beautiful sight.


    He couldn''t begin toprehend the amount of suffering and hardship Roxanne had endured for their


    child. He was truly the worst, an absolute scoundrel.


    Roxanne didn''t want to reconcile with him right now; she wanted to be alone, and he understood


    He gently pinched Ang''s cherubic cheeks, a determined look in his eyes.


    "Baby, for you and your mom''s happiness, I will strive to change myself. I hope to earn your mom''s


    forgiveness soon."


    Before he knew it, it was Tuesday.


    Ang''s kindergarten held a two-day, one-night autumn outing. Both Roxanne and Harrison attended.


    The purpose of such an event was to strengthen the bond between parent and child.


    A school bus transported the children and their parents to a camping site. During the day, the parents


    and children participated in various bonding activities. When night fell, everyone started setting up their


    tents.


    Harrison, being experienced in outdoor activities, set up his tent the fastest. Ang, taking off her


    shoes, crawled into the tent, pping her hands in delight.


    "Wow, what a pretty tent!"


    Not only did Harrison set up his tent the fastest, but it was also the most beautiful one.


    It was adorned with colorful fairy lights, an assortment of stuffed animals, and Ang''s favorite snacks,


    he had prepared all of which in advance.


    "Daddy, can I eat all these snacks?" Ang was already eager to dig in.

    "Why don''t you ask your mom first?" Harrison ruffled her hair gently, saying, "From now on, let''s let


    mom make all the decisions at home."


    With that, he looked at Roxanne who was sitting across from him. His gaze became even more sincere


    and passionate. It seemed as if he was deliberately saying this for Roxanne to hear.


    Roxanne quickly avoided his gaze, hiding herplicated emotions, and also gently ruffled Ang''s


    hair, "These snacks were specially bought by daddy, they are sugar-free and won''t harm your teeth. If


    you want to eat them, go ahead."


    She wouldn''t be too strict with Ang.


    Harrison had as much right as she did to make decisions for their daughter. She wouldn''t let Ang


    see any discord between her and Harrison.


    Ang was probably tired; while eating her snacks, she fell asleep on Harrison''sp.


    Even in her sleep, she still held onto her snacks, her mouth moving as if she was still tasting them.


    But soon she fell into a deep sleep, her hand loosening its grip, and the snacks scattered about, she


    waspletely lost in her dreams.


    Roxanne bent down to pick her up from Harrison''sp. As she bent down, her long hair brushed past


    Harrison. It was beautiful and tempting.


    Harrison longed to run his fingers through her hair. The sweet memory of his fingers entwined in her


    hair now felt like a distant dream.


    Not wanting to upset her anymore, Harrison suppressed all his impulses.


    After Roxanne picked up Ang, she ced her on a small pillow in the middle of the tent. She


    covered her with a nket and gave her a gentle kiss.


    When she looked up, she met Harrison''s burning yet restrained gaze. She avoided his gaze and


    lowered her head, "It''ste. You should sleep. I''ll sit outside for a while."


    The confined space made her ufortable.


    She put on her jacket and went out. She sat on an outdoor chair outside the tent and made herself a


    hot cup of tea.


    Harrison knew what she was ufortable about. She didn''t want to be alone with him in a confined


    space, even if their daughter was there in between.


    He followed her outside and sat next to her, "You should go in and sleep."


    "I want to sit here for a while." Roxanne held her hot tea and asked him, "Would you like a cup?"


    "Thank you!"


    She made him a cup of hot tea and handed it to him, "Here, drink it while it''s warm."


    Holding the warm cup of tea, Harrison felt a bit warmer; looking at the night sky, he couldn''t help but


    sigh, "The night is really beautiful tonight."


    The starry sky was vast and distant. By his side was the woman he loved.


    Even though her heart was far away, being able to sit so close to her and admire the night sky together


    was a blessing he could hardly ask for.


    After sitting for a while, neither of them felt sleepy.


    Roxanne didn''t want to go in; Harrison wanted to stay with her.


    Worried that she might be tired the next day, Harrison found an excuse to get her to sleep.


    "I have an important document to review, you should go in and sleep."


    He took out hisptop and turned it on. He seemed to open a document and was engrossed in reading


    it, but in reality, his mind was elsewhere.


    Without saying anything further, Roxanne got in the tent. Noticing his suit jacket there, she wanted to


    give it to him; identally, she found a piece of starlit jade in one pocket, around which there was gold


    iid, probably for repairing the broken part.


    It was her gift to Harrison, which meant to bring fortune. Had Harrison kept this starlit jade all the time?


    Secretly putting the jade away, she took the jacket outside to Harrison, “It’s windy. Put this on.”


    “Thanks!” Harrison quickly did what she said. In order not to disturb her, he pretended to be busy, quite


    upied by the document in theptop.


    Assuming he was really busy, Roxanne didn''t disturb him and returned to the tent.


    He seemed to be tied up with his work all night. Roxanne in the tent was at some point, drifted off to


    sleep.


    In the middle of the night, Harrison quietly unzipped the tent and carefully approached mother and


    daughter.


    This was the first time he saw them together, a familiar sight. One was his daughter, the other the


    mother of his child. But this home was already shattered, a wreckage he''d single-handedly created.


    He longed to kiss both mother and daughter, but all he did was tuck them in, gazing at them with deep


    affection for a moment before he left.


    He didn''t n on joining them that night. As he was tucking in Roxanne, he''d noticed her eyshes


    fluttering, saw her clutching the corner of the nket, as if she was afraid he''d climb in beside her.


    She must''ve been awake.


    Not wanting to disturb her sleep, Harrison spent the entire night outside.


    He must have caught a chill. By the time Harrison returned, he had caught a cold; his head was


    spinning, and his throat was increasingly sore.


    After a warm shower, he instinctively reached into the pocket of his suit. The piece of starlit jade that


    Roxanne had given him was gone.
