Betrayed By Husband And Child (Romina) novel Chapter 14

Chapter 14

Slightly stunned by his sudden approach, she instinctively

leaned back.

Perhaps her movement was too abrupt-she almost lost her

balance.

She subconsciously reached out and grabbed his legs.

He looked down, and their eyes locked.

Even the air froze at that second.

Meanwhile, someone knocked on the door.

She quickly loosened her grip and crouched in front of him.

“Joaquin.”

Holding Kashton’s hand, Jericho stepped inside and saw no one

but Joaquin.

Looking up, Joaquin said casually, “It’s late. To what do I owe the

pleasure, Jericho?”

Hiding under the desk, Romina listened to their conversation

carefully.

Jericho said slowly, “Kash was doing better, so I planned on

taking him home. What happened today came out of nowhere,

and I didn’t know Romina would make a scene on such an

important occasion. I wanna apologize for ruining your

homecoming dinner.”

Apologize?

Romina clenched her fingers as she heard this word.

She looked up at Joaquin’s face.

The dim yellow light somehow softened his chiseled jawline.

He curved his thin lips, saying nothing.

The family dinner was held for his homecoming, which was

indeed ruined.

“I’m sorry, Joaquin…” Jericho frowned slightly. “I should have

stopped her from making a scene. It’s such a pity that the family

dinner was ruined because of her. After all, it’s rare for all of us

to gather together like this. Who knows when we’ll have

another chance like this?”

Joaquin lifted his head and glanced at Jericho indifferently.

After several seconds, Joaquin said slowly, “Ms. Sandoval said in

front of everyone that she was framed. My suggestion? Look

into it closely. Don’t rush to blame the innocent due to

momentary haste.”

Hearing this, Romina looked at him with great disbelief.

He stared straight ahead, not casting a glance at her.

Even he believed her.

But her own husband and son, the very two men she had spent

years together with, sided with Nadine so blindly…

Jericho was also surprised at Joaquin’s words.

If he remembered correctly, it was already the second time

Joaquin had spoken up for Romina.

“Joaquin, you don’t know her. She framed Nadine three years

ago, and that’s why she was sent to prison. And today, she

actually tried to harm Kash, her own flesh and blood! You want

me to look into it? Is that really necessary? Clearly, she was the

one who did it!”

Romina couldn’t help but clench her fists.

Her nails almost dug into her palms, sending a sharp pain

through her body.

Joaquin curved his lips into a cold smile. “Oh, really?”

“That’s right, Uncle Joaquin,” Kashton echoed, pouting.

“Mommy indeed set up Nadi before. Nadi is so nice. Why would

Mommy do that to her?”

“Why do you think? Jealousy, obviously. She’s always been

petty-couldn’t stand Nadine’s existence. Even three years in

prison couldn’t soften her ruthless nature. She doesn’t deserve

to be a mother!”

Jericho raised his voice in anger.
