She had only mentioned in passing that she wasn’t very well off at the moment, and he had gone and bought her a new car, even delivering it right to her doorstep.Â
Shock and disbelief surged through her heart all at once.Â
“Ms. Sandoval, here are the car keys and the manual. My business card is inside. If you have any questions about the car, feel free to call me anytime. I’m at your service twenty–four hours a day.”Â
Romina’s thoughts were interrupted by the dealership owner.Â
She instinctively waved her hand: “Sorry, I can’t accept this car. Please call him and tell him to take it back.”Â
The dealership owner was momentarily stunned, still holding the keys and manual in midair.Â
“Ms. Sandoval, this…”Â
“That’s final. Thank you for coming all this way. I’ll head inside now, so please move the car as soon as possible.”Â
Without waiting for a response, Romina strode quickly into the house.Â
Elliana was already home. When she saw Romina return, she asked curiously, “Romi, what’s wrong? You don’t look so good.”Â
Romina glanced at Elliana in the dining room, then quickly walked over and told her what had happened.Â
After hearing everything, Elliana instinctively covered her mouth: “No way! Why would he suddenly give you a car? What’s going on?”Â
Romina shook her head instinctively: “I’m not really sure either.”Â
“If you ask me…” Elliana suddenly leaned in closer and lowered her voice: “Maybe he really does have some other feelings for you?”Â
Romina was momentarily stunned.Â

She hadn’t expected even Elliana to notice something was off.Â
Her eyelashes fluttered slightly. “No! You’re overthinking it.Â
“Romina! That’s a Porsche! Even if it’s not the latest model, it must cost several hundred thousand, maybe even over a million. If he didn’t have some other intentions toward you, why would he give you such a nice car?”Â
Romina swallowed instinctively.Â
That car was indeed expensive. If it were up to her, she would have only bought a car worth a little over a hundred thousand or maybe two hundred thousand at most.Â
But for Joaquin to give her such a nice car all at once, she really didn’t dare accept it.Â
Romina waved her hand instinctively. “Alright, let’s just ignore him for now.Â
“Are you blushing?” Elliana leaned in curiously, looking at Romina with suspicion. “Are you blushing?”Â
“No.”Â
Romina instinctively turned her back, but her face couldn’t help but burn.Â
If Elliana found out that the two of them were already this close, wouldn’t her eyes pop out of her head?Â
“He hasn’t even started pursuing you and already gave you such a nice car. Jericho’s uncle is so much more generous than Jericho. You’ve been with Jericho for so many years, and I bet he’s never given you a gift worth even a few hundred thousand, right?” Elliana shook her head. “Truly, comparison is the thief of joy.”Â
At the mention of Jericho, Romina’s expression darkened.Â
Let alone hundreds of thousands, Jericho had never even bought her a car.Â
Before he went to prison, the car she drove was just a leftover vehicle from the Bowman’sÂ
mansion.Â
“They’re both men from the Bowman family, so why is there such a big difference?”Â
Elliana spoke again, pulling Romina out of her thoughts.Â
“Alright, just pretend you don’t know about this! If Jericho finds out that Joaquin gave meÂ

such a nice car, he’ll probably blow his top again.” A mocking smile suddenly curved at Romina’s lips. “Or maybe not just blow his top–even if I accepted it, he’d force me to return the car.”Â
“Jericho is stingy enough himself, but he won’t even let others give you gifts?”Â
A trace of a bitter smile appeared on Elliana’s faceÂ
The smile at the corner of Romina’s lips deepenedÂ
She didn’t say anything more and turned to walk into the kitchen.Â
Romina had originally thought that after Joaquin received the news from the dealership owner about the car being returned, he would at least send her a message or give her a call.Â
But the whole night passed without a single word from him.Â
The next day, just as she was about to forget about the whole thing, Joaquin personally drove the car to the entrance of her wellness clinic.Â
Romina and Miguel had just escorted an elderly patient out the door.Â
The Porsche was parked right in front of the wellness clinic’s main entrance.Â
When the man got out of the driver’s seat, Romina’s body suddenly stiffened.Â
“Romi, doesn’t Mr. Bowman usually drive a Maybach? Why did he suddenly switch cars?”Â
Miguel looked at Romina with a puzzled expression.Â
Romina swallowed instinctively and didn’t respond.Â
“Come in, I have something to discuss with you.”Â
The man glanced at Romina and walked right between the two of them.Â
