She gave up struggling and looked up at Joaquin before her. “We’re getting divorced anyway. If it weren’t for Grandpa’s health, we would have registered by now. Men are all the same; it’s normal to have needs. I can understand…”
“You’re quite magnanimous.” Joaquin’s smile was cold, his gaze growing darker. “You even sent him off yourself.”
“He hasn’t belonged to me since three years ago.” Romina said expressionlessly, “What I can’t give him, I can’t stop him from seeking elsewhere. And it’s not the first time, so what does it matter?”
At Joaquin’s door, two familiar footsteps suddenly echoed.
Instinctively, his gaze flickered in that direction.
A few seconds later, outside Romina’s room, Nadine’s voice suddenly sounded: “Jericho, you’re already at the door, try to stay sober…”
Romina’s heart leapt into her throat in an instant.
Was Nadine bringing Jericho back again?
Could it be that, because of the child being there, they didn’t dare to act recklessly?
“Do you want me to give you a hand?”
Joaquin’s voice suddenly interrupted Romina’s thoughts.
Her gaze instinctively returned, and when she lifted her eyelids to look at the man beside her, she saw an unprecedented madness deep within his cold eyes.
Romina was a little confused: “What?”
“Your divorce is dragging on and on, I really can’t stand it anymore.” Jericho’s hand, which had been resting on her neck, suddenly moved to her face. “Why don’t I help you two out, how about that?”
Romina’s heart seemed to skip a beat.
Then, it began to race wildly, a sudden wave of unease surging up.
A knock sounded at the main door.

At the same time, Nadine’s voice rang out: “Ms. Sandoval, are you inside? Please help Jericho inside!”
At that very moment, the man’s lips suddenly landed on Romina’s.
In that instant, Romina’s mind exploded.
Her pupils widened, her eyes filled with shock and disbelief.
Joaquin…
He actually kissed her of his own accord!
This time was different from the previous two accidents–this time, he kissed her willingly.
The man closed his eyes, kissing her gently, even trying to part her teeth.
A tingling sensation instantly spread throughout her body, making her tremble uncontrollably, her legs growing weak.
She couldn’t deny that the feeling he gave her was something Romina had never experienced before.
But the moment the door opened, Romina snapped back to her senses.
She quickly reached out, trying to push the man in front of her away.
“Ms. Sandoval.”
“Why isn’t she here?”
Nadine entered, supporting someone, her gaze sweeping the room, but there was no one inside.
The balcony’s floor–to–ceiling window had its curtains drawn most of the way; from inside, nothing could be seen, but the faintest movement still caught Nadine’s attention.
As the sound of footsteps slowly approached, Romina’s heart leapt into her throat again.
When Romina tried to break free, Joaquin’s hand instantly moved to her waist, not allowing her to es
cape.
The man’s kiss was even more intense than before; Romina felt as if her mind was a firework exploding again and again in the sky.
Just as Nadine’s hand was about to touch the curtain, a sudden commotion came from the bed behind
her.

Jericho quickly sat up from the bed and rushed toward the bathroom.
Nadine turned quickly and walked toward the bathroom. “Jericho, what’s wrong?”
Immediately after, Romina heard the sounds of vomiting from the bathroom, along with Nadine’s con- cerned voice.
Joaquin’s kiss had already moved from Romina’s lips to her chin.
That uncontrollable feeling kept pulling him further down.
It was no longer just about kissing her lips.
He inexplicably wanted to take more from her…
It was the first time anyone had ever successfully awakened his most primal desire.
Romina naturally sensed something was wrong with him and quickly pushed him away.
She instinctively stepped back a few paces, looking at the man before her in disbelief.
Joaquin’s empty hand rested on the glass railing, his gaze at her tinged with a trace of greedy desire.
But after seeing her shocked expression, his eyes gradually returned to normal.
“I’ll just pretend nothing happened today…”
After throwing out those words, Romina didn’t dare look at Joaquin again and turned to leave immedi- ately.
Joaquin watched her retreating figure, the corners of his lips involuntarily curving upward.
He reached out his index finger and brushed it across his lips.
Then he let out a low, hoarse laugh…
After Romina returned to the room, Nadine also helped Jericho out of the bathroom.
“Ms. Sandoval, where did you just go?”
Nadine’s expression darkened slightly, her eyes filled with confusion as she looked at Romina.
“I went downstairs for some water.”
Romina’s tone was indifferent, her face expressionless as she walked straight toward the bed.
