Betrayed By Husband And Child (Romina) novel Chapter 17

Chapter 17

He gently patted her back.

“Daddy…”

“Yes?” He turned to look at Kashton.

Looking up at him, Kashton pouted and asked in a small voice, “Is Mommy serious about the divorce?”

Hearing this, he was momentarily stunned.

Romina’s face flashed across his mind.

He had to admit-her attitude and actions tonight surprised

him.

She seemed so determined and decisive…

“Daddy, if Mommy and you really split up, does that mean you get to be with Nadi?” Kashton pressed on.

While asking this, he fixed his gaze on Jericho, waiting for his

response.

There was a trace of faint sadness hidden behind his eyes full of

expectations.

To Kashton, Nadine was perfect. Her acting and singing skills

were impeccable, and she took him out to play and bought him

fancy toys a lot.

But Romina’s cooking was wonderful, and she was great at

making clothes.

From the time he was three until he turned six, she had made

Romina had become an entirely different person ever since her

release.

An inexplicable anger rose within him.

It stemmed from her change.

Perhaps she no longer loved him that much, or perhaps

everything was slipping from his control.

“Don’t be ridiculous! Romi announced to everyone that she

wants a divorce. Do you honestly believe what you’re saying?”

An aged, deep voice came from the staircase.

Supported by Lenora, Hayden slowly descended the stairs and

stopped in front of Jericho and the others, his expression darker

than ever.

“Grandpa, I’m telling the truth. As soon as she got out of prison,

she asked me for a divorce. But she’s an ex-con now. How could

she possibly survive without me?” Jericho retorted, his voice

deep.

“Stop looking down on her!” Hayden snapped. “She’s the whole
