Betrayed By Husband And Child (Romina) novel Chapter 152

chapter 152

Romina was momentarily stunned, reacting instinctively.

Her mind raced, as if recalling the promise she had made to have dinner with him before.

She did indeed still owe him a meal.

She just hadn’t expected him to bring it up at such a moment.

After a brief hesitation, Romina was about to speak, but Joaquin beat her to it: “You’re not thinking of using some excuse like ‘I don’t have time today‘ or ‘next time‘ to brush me off, are you?”

Romina was immediately at a loss, unsure how to respond.

Joaquin looked down at her, and seeing her expression, knew he had guessed her thoughts.

“Give me the car keys.”

The man reached out his hand to her, his face indifferent as he looked at her.

Romina was suddenly taken aback, a little confused: “What’s wrong?”

“Let’s have dinner together tonight. We’ll take your car.

”

Romina looked up at him, curiously asking, “What about your car?”

Joaquin replied in a flat tone, his face showing little emotion: “Erick is in the car. He’ll drive it back later.”

Romina nodded thoughtfully, then handed the car keys to him.

Romina opened the rear door, but from the driver’s seat came the man’s deep voice: “Sit in the front.”

Her hand on the door handle paused abruptly.

After a moment’s hesitation, she finally stepped forward, walked around the front of the car, and headed to the passenger seat.

At that moment, memories of the two of them together kept flooding her mind.

The noise of the piano and fragmented memories from the second floor surged over her like a tidal wave.

For a moment, she forgot to fasten her seatbelt.

A familiar aura closed in on her instantly.

Just as Romina lifted her gaze, she saw Joaquin’s strikingly handsome profile.

Her hand resting on her thigh involuntarily clenched for a moment, and her heart sank.

She instinctively leaned back a little, her voice betraying her nervousness: “Mr. Bowman, what are you doing?”

The man reached out his well–defined hand and grabbed the seatbelt on her right.

His voice was deep: “Sitting in the passenger seat and you forget to fasten

Romina’s heart leapt into her throat.

your seatbelt?”

She quickly pulled the seatbelt from his hand and smiled lightly: “I can do it myself.”

The distance between them was too close, making her cheeks flush instantly.

Joaquin curled his lips carelessly and let out a low, husky laugh: “Ms. Sandoval, what are you so nervous about?”

The man sat back in his seat and fastened his own seatbelt.

“Am I?” Romina said, feigning nonchalance, “I don’t think so! Why would I be nervous?”

Joaquin’s smile deepened, but he didn’t say anything more.

When they arrived at the restaurant, Romina was momentarily stunned by the scene before

her.

He had brought her to a very upscale Western restaurant.

Places like this weren’t cheap; a meal could easily cost tens of thousands. Fortunately, she had repaired that antique vase and earned eighty thousand, otherwise she wouldn’t have been able to afford tonight’s dinner.

After they sat down facing each other, the man looked up at her: “I don’t know what you like

to eat, and since we’ve never had Western food together, I chose this place. The steak here is quite good, you should try it. If you like it, you can bring Lina next time.”

“Alright.”

Romina nodded gently, unable to suppress the upward curve of her lips.
