Betrayed By Husband And Child (Romina) novel Chapter 118

She pointed toward the door. “If you have nothing else, please leave immediately.”

“I’ll get to the bottom of this. You’d better hope I don’t catch you. If I find that man, I won’t let either of you off!”

With that, the man strode quickly toward the door.

A heavy door slam echoed in her ears. Romina lowered her eyes to the phone in her hand, her expression as dark as could be.

Why hadn’t he hung up the phone for so long?

At this moment, in the president’s office of Prima Group.

The man stood in front of the vast floor–to–ceiling window, gazing out at the scenery, his eyes especially deep and unreadable.

He had just called Romina mainly to ask about Lina’s condition today.

While he was on the phone, someone suddenly snatched it away, and then he heard the sounds of an argument on the other end.

If Erick hadn’t come in to deliver documents and interrupted them, Jericho might really have done something to Romina.

Seeing the man standing silently by the window, Erick spoke up again: “Mr. Bowman?”

Joaquin glanced back at Erick, his voice low and deep: “Speak.”

“There’s an important reception tonight. Please don’t forget.”

“Alright.”

After Joaquin responded softly, he quickly walked to his desk and suddenly fell silent.

Seeing Joaquin like this, Erick didn’t dare say anything more.

Taking advantage of the man’s distraction, he quickly turned and left.

Romina had originally planned to finish work around eight in the evening, but a very special patient arrived that night–a deaf–mute.

Romina didn’t know sign language, but Miguel had volunteered at a school for the deaf during college, so he had a basic understanding of it.

After Miguel communicated with the patient, they had a general understanding of the patient’s condition.

It turned out that this patient had come specifically to see Romina by reputation.

He had heard of her superb medical skills and wanted to use naturopathy to treat his migraines.

By the time Romina finished the treatment, it was already close to eleven at night.

It was hard to get a cab at this hour. Every time she worked late, her desire to buy a car grew even stronger.

She had just opened a ride–hailing app when a blinding light from the road not far away suddenly illuminated her surroundings.

She raised her hand to block some of the light and looked toward the car.

Because she was facing the light, she couldn’t see what kind of car it was, so she lowered her hand and looked away.

The car slowly stopped in front of her.

The passenger door was opened from the inside.

Erick got out from the driver’s seat, nodded at her, then walked over to a tree and lit a cigarette.

Romina looked away, guessing that the man must be inside the car.

Ever since they had been intimate, Romina always felt at a loss when facing him again.

After thinking for a moment, she reached out and opened the car door.

The moment the door opened, the man’s handsome profile suddenly came into view.

Joaquin turned to look at her and said calmly, “Get in.”

“Mr. Bowman, is there something you want to say to me?”

At this time, since he had asked Erick to step aside, he must have something to say to her.

When Joaquin turned to meet her gaze, she saw a faint flush on his face.

He must have been drinking tonight.

The next second, the man suddenly reached out and pulled her closer, and a strong smell of alcohol instantly filled her nose.
