Betrayed By Husband And Child (Romina) novel Chapter 31

chapter31

“I crossed the line?” Jericho’s gaze instantly darkened. “Which

eye of yours saw me do anything to betray you?”

Even though she had never seen it with her own eyes, his

attitude toward Nadine had already made everything clear.

Especially the child’s name…

“Let go.””

Romina had no desire to get entangled with him and just

wanted to leave.

But Jericho pressed her arm, pinning her against the wall.

Just as he was about to speak, a deep voice came from the

entrance of the hallway: “If you have something to say, say it

properly. What’s with all the grabbing and pushing?”

At the sound, Romina and Jericho turned their heads

simultaneously.

A familiar figure suddenly appeared before their eyes.

Why did Joaquin suddenly come back?

“Joaquin, I was just a little emotional…”

Jericho instinctively released his grip on Romina, and when he

looked at the man in front of him, his brows furrowed for a

moment.

Joaquin glanced at him with an indifferent expression, then

shifted his gaze toward Romina.

Romina’s eyes happened to meet his.

After just a second, Joaquin looked away and turned to Jericho

beside him: “Were you two arguing just now?”

Jericho hesitated, unable to speak.

Seeing that he didn’t respond, Romina spoke calmly: “We just

had some disagreements.”

“What kind of disagreements? Was it because Grandpa doesn’t

agree with our divorce and keeps trying to bring us together?

When he saw her come back today, he insisted I bring the child

home too. If he knew she was here today…”

“If I had known you were coming back, I definitely wouldn’t

have come.”

Before he could finish, Romina interrupted him.

“Romina, do you have to embarrass me like this?”

“Weren’t you the one who embarrassed me first?”

A cold, thin smile appeared at the corner of Romina’s lips, and a

chill flashed in her eyes.

“You also…”

Jericho wanted to say more, but was interrupted by a voice:

“Dinner is ready.””

The group turned their heads at the sound, looking toward the

kitchen.

It was the aunt who had finished preparing the meal and was

calling them to eat.

Joaquin was the first to look away, gazing at the two of them:

“Since everyone is here, let’s have a proper dinner tonight. Don’t

argue in front of Hayden anymore; you know his health isn’t

good!’

After saying this, his gaze lingered intentionally or

unintentionally on Jericho.

That slightly warning look was imprinted in Jericho’s eyes.

“I’ll go call them in for dinner.”

Romina gestured to Joaquin in front of her, and the man leaned

slightly to the side, making way for her.

As Romina passed by the man, her shoulder brushed lightly

against the crook of his arm.

She could smell the faint, cold scent on the man.

In just a second, the two of them had already put some distance

between them.

Joaquin glanced at the direction Romina left, his eyes as dark as

ink, exceptionally deep.

“Joaquin, why did you suddenly come back today?”

“Sir Bowman asked me to come back and have dinner with him.

I didn’t expect you two to be here as well.” Joaquin said calmly,

“At the last family dinner, you had such a big argument. Maybe

Sir Bowman wants to make up for that.”

“I’m really sorry that because of our issues, you all have such

unpleasant memories…”

“The person you should truly apologize to isn’t us.””

Jericho didn’t even finish his sentence before Joaquin cut him

off.

There was a hidden meaning in his words.
