Betrayed By Husband And Child (Romina) novel Chapter 16

Chapter 16

“Jericho and I have come to the end of our road,” she said flatly.

“The process is what really matters. Because… the endings are

always the same.”

The sorrow in her eyes was more than palpable.

Jericho truly knew nothing about their marriage-nor did he

understand what had happened between them. But from her

words and expression, he could tell she intended to step aside,

leaving Jericho free to be with another woman.

Sensing his silence, Romina planned to leave.

“It’s getting late. Mr. Bowman, get some rest. I’ll be out of your

hair.”

She turned to leave.

But Joaquin called out, “Ms. Sandoval.”

“Yes?”

He handed her a business card. “Marriage among powerful

families isn’t as simple as you imagine. Tough as it may be,

getting a divorce is even harder. If you need help, let me know.”

She was stunned as her gaze fell upon the card.

After the divorce, she’d take half of Jericho’s assets. Of course,

she knew what Joaquin was implying.

She was simply surprised to hear he’d help her.

Sensing her silence, he added, “My lawyer team is top of the

field. You can come to me anytime you want.”

“Thank you, Mr. Bowman.”

After pondering for a few seconds, she reached out and took the

card.

Then he offered, “It seems you haven’t fully recovered. Would

you like my driver to give you a ride?”

“That won’t be necessary.” She glanced back at him, her

charming eyes softening. “It’s easier to get a cab here than at the

Bowman’s mansion. I’ll manage.”

Then she headed toward the door without waiting for his reply.

Fixing his gaze on her retreating figure, he curved his lips

uncontrollably.

Chances were, she wouldn’t seek him out easily.

He knew this, but still gave her his card.

Because … only a few could pique his interest.

As her footsteps faded into the distance, his phone on the desk

rang.

He answered, and Erick’s voice came through. “Mr. Bowman, I

just found out-all the top artisans say only Rosella can fix your

quartz. But nobody’s heard from her in the past three years. It’s

like she’s vanished into thin air.”

“Keep looking. Find her at all costs,” he said resolutely.

He walked to the floor-to-ceiling window again and gazed

coldly at the night outside, his face reflected in the glass.

The quartz carved with an orchid was the only keepsake his

mother left behind. It had been broken accidentally, and he had

had Erick searching for someone who could fix it ever since his

return.

“Yes, Mr. Bowman,” Erick said.

***

On his way to take Nadine home together with Kashton,

Jericho received a call from Lenora.

She told him Hayden had flown into a rage after they left,

wanting him to go back and calm Hayden down.

Jericho had always respected Hayden. Naturally, he agreed.

“But… Can Kash make it? He’s still weak,” Nadine, who had been

waiting in the car, asked softly.
