Betrayed By Husband And Child (Romina) novel Chapter 199

Romina pushed him away, quickly got down from the table, and resumed wiping it. “We were never a couple, let alone husband and wife. There’s nothing to forgive or not forgive.”

“But to me, you already are.”

The man’s voice was soft, coming from behind her.

Romina’s hand, which was wiping the table, paused again.

A strong sense of nervousness welled up inside her.

She changed the subject directly. “How has Grandpa’s health been lately?”

Joaquin was momentarily taken aback, probably not expecting such a sudden change of topic.

“He’s doing okay. You can check on him again later.

“I’ve done everything I promised Mr. Bowman, but the things you promised me–why is there still no progress?” Romina turned to look at him, her voice low. “Didn’t you promise to help me get Penningnell Mansion back?”

“I haven’t forgotten. Erick has been keeping an eye on it, but your aunt is no pushover. This will probably be a long battle, so you need to be prepared. But getting it back for you is only a matter of time.” Joaquin’s tone was calm.

Romina nodded lightly. “I just didn’t want you to forget, so I thought I’d remind you.”

“How could I ever forget about your matters?”

Joaquin reached out and gently ruffled the ends of her hair.

Romina happened to turn her head, meeting his deep, glimmering eyes. For the first time, she saw a trace of tenderness in this man.

Yes, it was tenderness.

Even she was startled by it.

Why would Joaquin look at her with such deep affection?

“I actually came to see you today for another reason.”

After lowering his hand, he leaned against the edge of the table.

Romina’s thoughts were interrupted. She looked up at him curiously. “What is it?”

“That thug we brought back from Riverchester has been interrogated by the bodyguards with every method, but he still refuses to tell the truth. He’s still locked up in the warehouse. What do you plan to do with him?”
