Betrayed By Husband And Child (Romina) novel Chapter 22

Chapter 22

If she hadn’t grasped it, she might have ended up spending the

night here.

Looking at her retreating figure, Jericho tightened his grip on

the cup.

As he was about to speak, he met Joaquin’s icy gaze.

After a moment of silence, he averted his gaze, relenting.

“Joaquin, why don’t you stay for dinner?”

“I’ve got something to do. Maybe next time.”

Joaquin stood up and walked out.

“Mommy? What are you doing here?”

Romina bumped into Kashton at the door.

It sounded like she was an unexpected guest.

She smiled sarcastically.

Even Kashton knew better than Jericho.

How laughable.

“I came to discuss something with Jericho. I’m leaving now!’

She walked away without waiting for Kashton’s reply.

Kashton’s heart sank as he stared at her back.

He wanted to stop her.

But what if she really stayed?

He didn’t want to see her around.

Nadine had promised to take him to school tomorrow. If

Romina stayed, that would totally ruin the plan.

Eventually, he said nothing and just watched as Romina left.

After walking out of the courtyard, Romina hailed a cab to

leave.

By the time Joaquin’s Maybach emerged from the courtyard,

she was in the cab already.

Through the window, he watched as she entered the cab and

left.

Erick was behind the wheel. Through the rearview mirror, he

saw Joaquin’s sullen face and couldn’t help but ask, “Mr.

Bowman, do you have something to say to Ms. Sandoval?

Would you like me to overtake them?”

“No need.”

Joaquin lowered his gaze to the tablet in his hands.

After a few seconds, he thought of something and looked up at

Erick. “You still haven’t found out anything about Rosella?”

“No,” Erick replied with a sigh. “I’m sorry, Mr. Bowman.”

Joaquin’s voice was deep. “She was last seen three years ago.

Any records of when exactly that was?”

“From what I heard, it was that summer three years back.”

Erick glanced at Joaquin in the backseat through the rearview

mirror.

Joaquin arched an eyebrow slightly. “See if you can talk to her

last client. Maybe that’ll help.”

“Alright, Mr. Bowman.”

Back in Breeze Vista, Romina texted Hayden. She made it clear

that the divorce was her choice, hoping he wouldn’t put

pressure on Jericho and Kashton.

She didn’t do this for their sake. Instead, she just wanted Jericho

to sign the divorce papers as soon as possible and set her free.

Hayden’s reply came thirty minutes later, and it was only one

sentence.

“All I want is for you to be a happy family.”

She stared at those words in a daze.

A happy family?

She’d wanted the same-until Jericho and Kashton put her

behind bars.

The words on the screen somehow seemed to glare under the

warm yellow light.
