Betrayed By Husband And Child (Romina) novel Chapter 85

“She didn’t tell you? The culprit has already confessed–it was under Valery’s orders that they targeted my shop.” Romina sneered. “Valery, you should know her well, right? She’s Nadine’s best friend!”

“Valery did this?”

“On the surface, it was Valery’s doing, but whether someone else is involved is hard to say.” Romina curled her lips in a faint smile. “But I’ll make sure to investigate thoroughly.”

“What do you mean by that? Are you suspecting Nadine is involved? Nadine is such a pure and kind woman–how could she possibly do something like this?”

Jericho suddenly reached out and grabbed Romina’s wrist, the coldness in his eyes growing even deep-

1. er.

“I never said it was Ms. Lambert. Why are you so anxious?”

Romina tried to shake off the man’s hand, her voice icy cold.

But Jericho only gripped her wrist tighter. “The person you’re talking about–isn’t it her?”

“I thought you couldn’t tell right from wrong, but it turns out you’re quite clear–headed and discerning. If that’s the case, why did you insist on taking her side back then? Was it on purpose?”

Romina curled her lips, looking at him with a calm expression.

“What nonsense are you talking about?” Jericho yanked his hand away from Romina, his voice sudden- ly rising. “Romina, don’t bring up the past anymore. I have no interest in discussing it with you.”

“Are you afraid to face it?”

“What do you mean?”

Jericho originally wanted to leave, but in the end, he stopped and looked down at the woman in front of

him.

Romina’s lips curled slightly, her smile growing. “The reason you don’t dare face it, the reason you’re afraid of me bringing up the past, is it because you’re worried I was really wronged, and you won’t know how to face your unforgettable love in the future? Or are you afraid her image as your unforget table love will be shattered?”

“That’s a separate issue. I’m only talking to you about the wellness clinic, not about the past!”

The coldness in Jericho’s deep eyes grew even stronger.

“That’s because this matter is inseparable from Nadine, so I’m bringing it up together with the past!”

Romina’s voice was much louder now.

Jericho frowned. “What evidence do you have that this is related to Nadine? Even though Valery is her best friend, the culprit clearly named Valery, not Nadine!”

Romina found it increasingly ridiculous to see him defending Nadine.

“Auntie Romina.”

At that moment, a childish voice interrupted Romina’s thoughts.

She turned at the sound and saw Lina running quickly toward her, a sweet smile blooming on her face.

Romina had no intention of paying attention to the man beside her. She turned her head to look at the child in front of her, her eyes full of affection.

Romina’s change in expression did not escape Jericho’s notice.

A trace of annoyance flickered in his eyes. “So this child can actually smile?”

Hearing his voice, Lina looked a little wary and hid behind Romina.

“Lina, don’t be afraid. Auntie will take you away.”

Romina shot Jericho a glare and quickly led the child toward the roadside.

Lina couldn’t help but quicken her pace.

Seeing this, Jericho felt both annoyed and amused.

Just how afraid of him was she?

Wasn’t Joaquin usually even colder than he was?

Romina had originally planned to visit a used car dealership tonight to look for a car, but after every- thing that happened today, she had lost all desire to do so. She took Lina home early and started prepar- ing dinner.

Elliana finished work relatively early today as well, and when she got home, Romina had just finished cooking dinner.
