Sad Tears 113

He quickly reached out, grabbed Romina’s chin, and forcibly lifted her face. 

When their eyes met. Romina’s gaze became even more dazed and unfocused. 

Joaquin gripped her chin and said, word by word, “But you two are about to get divorced, and you haven’t been a real couple for years. If you get involved with him now, are you sure you can walk away unscathed?” 

Her voice trembled slightly. “What else can I do? I can’t die yet. Lina can’t be without me…” 

“You won’t die.” The man’s voice was deep. “I won’t let you die.” 

“Mr. Bowman, you…” 

When Romina saw the determination in the man’s eyes, a look of surprise flashed across her 

own. 

Before she could finish her sentence, Joaquin cupped the back of her head and kissed her without hesitation. 

Romina’s heart pounded wildly, as if it were about to leap out of her throat. 

The temporary relief only made her crave more. 

She was like a drowning person, desperately clutching at the last straw, climbing upward in hopes of finally reaching the shore. 

He picked her up and set her down on the sink. 

The man’s passionate kisses moved from her lips to her snow–white neck. 

The chain behind her was undone, and two pale swathes of skin were revealed. 

He glanced at her flushed cheeks, then lowered his head toward her 

At the same time, a sudden knock came from the door of the room next door. “Romina, are you in there?” 

Romina’s heart leapt into her throat, and her mind gradually began to clear.

It was Jericho in the next room. 

At the same time, another voice sounded: “Jericho, there must be a guest using your bathroom, so the door was locked from the inside. Is it possible Ms. Sandoval is in another room? Maybe this one…” 

“That’s Joaquin’s room. How could she possibly be in there?” 

“There are so many guests today, and your bathroom can’t be accessed. Even if she used Joaquin’s bathroom, it’s perfectly normal!” 

*** 

At this moment, inside the bathroom. 

Romina felt as if her head was about to explode. 

Joaquin must have heard the commotion outside as well, but he showed no intention of paying attention to it, his focus entirely on her. 

Just then, Erick’s voice came from outside the door: “Mr. Bowman, Ms. Lambert, what are you doing standing outside Mr. Bowman’s room?” 

Nadine replied, “Ms. Sandoval said she wasn’t feeling well. We couldn’t find her and suspected she might have fainted in the bathroom, so Jericho and I came up to check on her.” 

“Ms. Sandoval said she wasn’t feeling well. Mr. Bowman already asked me to arrange a car to take her home. Mr. Bowman is very drunk and is resting in his room. Please don’t disturb him.” 

Jericho asked in surprise, “She already left?” 

Erick replied, “Yes.” 

The voices outside gradually faded, and the sound of footsteps slowly disappeared. 

After everyone left, the man in front of her became even more unrestrained, his hand slipping beneath her undergarments. 

At that moment, however, Romina began to regain her clarity. 

Especially when she remembered that his heart already belonged to someone else, she became even more unwilling to continue.

Romina grabbed his arm. “Mr. Bowman, can you take me to the hospital?” 

She was already in a sorry state, while he was still impeccably dressed in his suit, except for his slightly tousled hair. In every other way, he looked no different from usual. 

In contrast, she had already been completely exposed to him… 

He straightened her dress, filled the bathtub with cold water, and placed her inside. 

“If you don’t feel better in an hour, I’ll have the family doctor come over. 

After collecting his thoughts, the man quickly left. 

Joaquin stood on the vast balcony, smoking one cigarette after another, his gaze fixed on the night view ahead, his expression especially grave. 

They had almost crossed the line just now. 

Scenes from just moments ago kept replaying in his mind, and a wave of heat suddenly surged through his body. 

It was unbearably uncomfortable, unbearably torturous. 

He waited and waited, and finally, an hour passed. 

When he opened the door again, Romina was much better, though her body was still trembling. 

She must have caught a chill. 

He picked her up, personally changed her clothes, and then carried her to the bed. 

“You should rest here tonight. I’ll have someone take you home first thing in the morning. As for what happened today, I’ll investigate it for you.” 

Wrapped in the blanket, Romina nodded gently. 

Just as the man was about to get up, she instinctively reached out and grabbed his wrist. 

Joaquin looked back at her, his gaze dark and unreadable. “What is it?” 

“Thank you.”
