Joaquin also picked up his teacup and gently clinked it against hers.

“To a pleasant cooperation.”

Romina had just put down her cup when her phone on the table suddenly rang.

She glanced down, and the caller ID showed Jericho’s name.

Joaquin, sitting beside her, naturally saw the caller ID as well.

“Aren’t you going to answer?”

The man’s deep voice suddenly came from beside her.

At the sound, Romina looked up at Joaquin, then decisively hung up the call.

The way she swiftly swiped the screen was deeply imprinted in the man’s eyes.

“Nothing good ever comes from him calling me. I don’t want to answer.”

Romina decisively turned her phone face down, and her face was instantly shrouded in gloom.

“He still hasn’t signed?”

Joaquin lifted his eyelids, looking at her with a calm expression.

The corners of Romina’s lips curled into a mocking smile: “No.”

The man said nothing more, and the room fell into a brief silence.

Joaquin personally drove them home. Before Romina even got close to Breeze Vista, she caught sight of a figure standing under the streetlamp.

She watched the car slowly move forward, but still didn’t ask him to stop.

Joaquin turned to glance at Romina, the corners of his lips lifting slightly.

If he remembered correctly, she used to ask him to pull over before they even got close to Breeze Vista.

For a moment, he suddenly felt that this woman’s thoughts were not so easy to figure out.

“Thank you for driving us home. We’ll head in now.” Romina took Lina’s hand. “Say goodbye to Joaquin.”

“Goodbye, Daddy Joaquin.”

The man nodded gently: “Goodbye.”

The scene of Romina leading the child out of Joaquin’s car had already fallen into Jericho’s line of sight.

He watched the Maybach drive away, then quickly walked up: “Why did Joaquin bring you two home?”

“We had dinner together tonight, so Mr. Joaquin drove us back.”

Romina lifted her shimmering eyes, gazing indifferently at the man before her.

Jericho’s brows suddenly furrowed: “You had dinner together tonight?”

“What’s so surprising about that?” Romina’s tone was cold and distant. “Mr. Joaquin is Lina’s godfather. Now that I’m taking care of the child, isn’t it normal for him to visit her from time to time?”

“Romina, you don’t even bother to visit your own son, yet you take care of someone else’s child. Don’t you think your behavior is truly absurd?”

Romina curled her lips into a mocking smile: “You and Nadine really are a perfect match. Even the things you say are exactly the same!”

“Isn’t it the truth?”

Romina had no desire to argue with him, her tone indifferent: “If you have nothing else to say, then don’t come here to bother me. There’s nothing left for us to discuss.”

“Stay away from Joaquin from now on. Let him take care of the child. You’re not allowed to look after someone else’s kid anymore.”

Jericho’s voice was especially cold as his gaze fell on Lina.

Lina happened to lift her eyes, meeting the man’s gaze.

Instinctively, she lowered her head and moved a little closer to Romina, gripping Romina’s hand tighter without realizing it.

Romina naturally sensed the child’s tension and confusion.

She pulled Lina behind her, raising her voice: “Jericho, I’m already divorcing you, and you still want to control whose child I take care of! If you mind me looking after someone else’s child, you can send Kashton to me too. But would you really be willing?”
