Betrayed By Husband And Child (Romina) novel Chapter 32

chapter32

Romina looked away and turned to Hayden beside him:

“Grandpa, I don’t need anyone to take care of me. I can just sleep

in the guest room.”

With that, she staggered to her feet, intending to head upstairs.

“Jericho, hurry and follow her.”

As soon as Hayden finished speaking, his gaze fell on Jericho.

Jericho hesitated for a moment, but in the end couldn’t refuse

Hayden and got up to follow.

Behind them, a long, narrow gaze was following the direction

in which they left.

“Joaquin, did you bring a driver tonight?”

The man withdrew his gaze and looked at his father beside him.

Joaquin let out a low, hoarse laugh: “You keep your grandson

and granddaughter-in-law here, but you’re kicking me out?”

“That’s not what I mean, you know that.” Hayden suddenly

leaned in, lowering nis voice:

Jericho’s. The couple hasn’t seen each other for so long, it’s

inevitable that…”

He left the rest unsaid.

Joaquin, always clever, could hardly fail to understand what

his father meant.

The man curled his lips, responding with a half-smile: “This fire of yours might not catch.”

Hayden didn’t quite understand what he meant, and when he looked up, Joaquin was already striding toward the second

floor.

When Joaquin reached the second floor, he saw Jericho locked

out of the room.

Jericho was knocking on the door: “Romina, open the door right

now!”

As Joaquin passed by, Jericho glanced back at him.

Seeing the man behind him, he was momentarily stunned:

“Joaquin? Are you staying at the Bowman’s mansion tonight

too?”

“Yes.”

Joaquin gave him an indifferent look, then strode toward the

study.

Behind him, Jericho’s knocking continued.

“Romina, open the door.”

As Jericho passed by the nearby guest rooms, he saw that all

the doors were locked.

The man couldn’t help but let out a cold laugh.

Hayden really went to great lengths to bring the two of them

together!

Unfortunately…

The man is indifferent, and the woman is unwilling.

How could this fire ever be lit?

At this moment, inside the room.

Romina, drunk, leaned against the balcony, while urgent

knocking sounded at her ear.

But she acted as if she hadn’t heard, continuing to admire the

night outside.

During dinner, she had tied up her hair with a rubber band, and

now her neck felt a bit chilly.

She intended to take her hair down, but perhaps pulled too

hard, and the rubber band in her hand had already snapped

onto the neighboring balcony.

Romina’s brows furrowed instantly.

Her gaze passed over the transparent glass railing and saw the

rubber band on the next balcony.

She hesitated for a moment, but in the end, lifted her foot and

climbed up without hesitation…

The glass railing was not very high; just a single pane of glass

separated the balconies of the two rooms.

She climbed over it with ease.

As she bent down to pick up the rubber band on the floor, her

head felt increasingly heavy, and a wave of drowsiness washed

over her.

The room next door had always been empty.

Up until now, Romina still had no idea whose room it actually

was.

Her head throbbed with pain.

She couldn’t care about anything else anymore, staggering

toward the large bed in the room and collapsing onto it.

At that moment, a phone rang outside the door.

And then came the man’s deep voice: “Nadine, were you

looking for me?”

She had no idea what the woman on the other end had said to

him.

After Jericho gently comforted her for a few moments, he said

softly, “Wait for me there, I’ll be right over.”

Romina heard the man hurriedly leave.
