Betrayed By Husband And Child (Romina) novel Chapter 9

Chapter 9

If it weren’t for Hayden, he would’ve divorced her without

hesitation.

Romina swiftly dashed off a bank account number and tossed

him the paper.

After stepping out of the station, Romina was about to leave

when someone called out from behind her, “Wait.”

She stopped in her tracks and turned around coldly. “Yes?”

Glancing at her, Jericho said, his voice devoid of any warmth,

“Grandpa misses you. Also, Joaquin is about to come back these

days. There’ll be a family reunion at the Bowman’s mansion the

evening after tomorrow. Show up on time.”

He hadn’t intended to ask her back.

An ex-con would only humiliate him.

But she was released right after his uncle, Joaquin Bowman,

came back.

Hayden would give him a hard time for sure if she didn’t attend

the family banquet.

Besides, with Joaquin’s formidable power and influence, he

might feel disrespected at Romina’s absence.

Romina paused slightly after hearing Jericho’s words.

Joaquin’s breathtakingly handsome face flashed through her

mind.

“Did you hear me?”

Noticing her silence, Jericho frowned slightly and raised his

voice.

Snapping out of it, she nodded after a moment of silence.

“Alright.”

A flicker of doubt stirred within her at the same time.

Why was Joaquin suddenly back?

After two days of rest, Romina’s condition had improved.

But she still felt dizzy on the day of the family reunion.

By evening, she washed up simply before hailing a cab to the

Bowman’s mansion, which was halfway up the mountain.

It had been three years since her last visit, and she returned a

completely different person.

As she reached the entrance, the vanity-plated Cullinan came

into her view.

He really was back.

“Mommy, dinner’s about to begin. Why are you so late?”

Kashton’s voice, laced with displeasure, rang out from the main

door.

As Romina glanced over, her attention was attracted by the two

familiar figures behind Kashton.

It was Jericho and Nadine.

Jericho had actually brought Nadine to the family reunion?

As Romina strode inside, Nadine’s gaze fell upon her. “Great

timing, Ms. Sandoval. The kitchen is swamped. Let’s go over and

give them a hand.”

Normally, the Bowman family had full staff. But today was the

holiday, and several servants had taken leave.

Back then, at every family gathering, Romina would personally

cook just to ensure Jericho and Kashton could eat well.

But they still thought she was lazy.

Her devotion turned out to be nothing but a joke.

Looking at Nadine’s retreating figure, Romina showed no

intention of following her.

“Mommy, go help Nadi. She’s been busy after getting here.

What if she gets exhausted?” Kashton urged her and even

pushed her from behind.

Jericho was talking to his mother, Lenora Richmond, and he

didn’t even bother to cast a glance at Romina.

Same indifferent as him, she walked straight into the kitchen

without a word.

Seeing her, Nadine said, “Ms. Sandoval, this sauce dish is for

Kash. I’m tied up in here, so could you help me place this at his
