Kashton looked displeased, and his gaze at Lina was filled with growing annoyance.
Seeing that Romina didn’t respond, Lina answered cautiously, “Daddy Joaquin didn’t have time…”
“If he doesn’t have time, does my mom have to pick you up? She never comes to pick me up, but she’s here for you every day!”
Seeing the jealousy on his face, Lina quickly hid behind Romina.
Romina’s expression suddenly darkened. “Kashton, Lina is timid. Please speak to her more gently in the future.”
“Ms. Sandoval, Lina is just your friend’s child, and only Joaquin’s goddaughter. It’s really not appropriate for you to keep picking her up all the time. I heard you even live together?”
“This is our business. It has nothing to do with you.”
“It may not have much to do with me, but you don’t even pick up your own son, yet you pick up Joaquin’s child every day and even take care of her. If word gets out, aren’t you afraid of gossip?”
Romina’s tone was cold. “Since you’re so eager to pick up my son, I can only settle for second best and pick up someone else’s child.”
Nadine was momentarily speechless, her brows furrowing slightly
“Mom! For the past three years when you weren’t here, Dad and Nadi have always picked me up. She did a lot of things for you. You should be grateful to her, so why blame her?”

Kashton’s defense of Nadine reminded Romina of three years ago.
Back when she testified in court for this woman, she was just as aggressive.
Heh.
After ten months of pregnancy, she had really raised an ungrateful
child.
“I’m about to divorce your father. Your Nadi will take her place sooner or later, so let her get a head start on what it’s like to raise a son. Let’s see if being a ‘stepmother‘ is really that easy.”
Nadine was a bit infuriated, but with the child present, she couldn’t
retort.
Seeing that Nadine had nothing more to say, Romina withdrew her gaze and quickly left with Lina.
Evening approached.
Romina chose a decent restaurant and sent the address to Joaquin.
Joaquin
“Auntie Romina, is Uncle Joaquin coming soon?”
“Yes.” Romina reached out her fair hand and pinched her little cheek. “When Uncle Joaquin arrives, you have to start calling him Daddy Joaquin, not Uncle Joaquin anymore.”
“Okay, I’ll listen to Auntie Romina.”
“Looks like you really like Uncle Joaquin.”
Lina lowered her head and smiled softly, “Uncle Joaquin is actually very gentle. Every time he came to see Mom before, he always brought me gifts.”
