Sad Tears 136

“Don’t be ungrateful. I try to speak gently to you, and you don’t appreciate it?” 

Jericho moved behind her, placing his hands on either side of her waist, then quickly spun her around. 

The sudden action made Romina frown uncontrollably: “Jericho, what are you doing now?” 

“If I remember correctly…” Jericho suddenly leaned in, whispering in her ear, “Wasn’t it in this very room that you slept with that other man?” 

As soon as he said this, scenes from that day flooded Romina’s mind. 

Moments with Joaquin in the next room flashed before her eyes like a carousel, making her cheeks flush instantly. 

Jericho looked down at her, naturally noticing the faint blush on her face. 

He immediately pinched her chin: “Blushing like this? Looks like it left quite an impression on you!” 

“Let go.” 

Romina had no intention of responding to him, struggling hard to break free. 

Jericho was so angry that his chest heaved: “Did it feel better with him, or with me?” 

“Are you insane?” 

Romina broke free from his grip and quickly raised her hand to slap him, but the man in front of her caught her hand firmly. 

“Oh, right…” Jericho said with feigned casualness, “It’s been three years since we last did it. I guess you’ve already forgotten what it felt like to be with me. Why don’t we take this opportunity today and let you remember? How about it?” 

“Lunatic!” 

Romina forcefully shook off his hand, pushing him away from her. 

But she had barely taken two steps before the man yanked her back, pressing her against the railing again.

The moment he lunged at her, her heart leapt into her throat. 

She shouted at the top of her lungs: “Jericho, if you dare do anything to me, I’ll kill you!” 

“Kill me?” The man’s actions suddenly halted, then he angrily pinched her chin: “You put such a huge label on me, and I never thought of killing you. Yet you want to kill me?” 

In the past, she had always been the proactive one in these matters. Now, just a touch from him, and she would say something like this! 

Romina glared at him, not saying a word. 

“What? Don’t tell me you’ve really fallen for that other man?” Jericho’s voice was as deep as it could get. “I’ve never been able to find him. Who is he, anyway? Is he really worth you abandoning your hus- band and child for him?” 

“Abandon my husband and child?” Romina let out a cold laugh. “Weren’t you the ones who abandoned me first? Don’t think I don’t know about you and Nadine. Treating me like a fool–do you find that amusing?” 

“Tell me! Who exactly is that man?” 

Jericho instantly gripped her neck, his voice icy cold. 

The corners of his upturned eyes were filled with a terrifying crimson. 

Romina felt her breathing become labored, slapping at his hand: “Let go! Let go…” 

But Jericho had no intention of letting her go, his grip only tightening. 

Just thinking about this woman having been with another man made his anger boil over. 

At that moment, a sudden knock sounded at the door. 

Jericho instinctively looked toward the door. 

The knocking paused for a few seconds, then resumed. 

At the same time, a man’s deep voice sounded: “Ms. Sandoval, come down for dinner.” 

When Jericho heard Joaquin’s voice, he paused for a moment, then suddenly leaned in close: “Joaquin is personally calling you to dinner. That’s quite the privilege! Are you two that close now?” 

Romina glared at him. “If you don’t let go of me right now, do you believe I’ll call him over?” 

Jericho lowered his gaze to look at her, the resentment in his eyes growing even deeper.

After hesitating for two seconds, he finally released Romina. 

At that moment, his phone suddenly rang in his pocket. 

He glanced down at it, but still answered the call, then strode toward the main entrance. 

The moment the door opened, he was met with Joaquin’s extremely dark expression. 

Jericho gave him a slight nod, then continued his call and quickly headed downstairs. “Don’t worry, I’ll be right there.” 

Joaquin watched his departing figure, his eyes growing even darker. 

He had just gone to the study, and on his way out, passed by their room. Hearing noises from inside, he had chosen this way to interrupt them. 

Joaquin quickly walked in and immediately locked the door behind him. 

Romina was still standing outside on the balcony. When she saw the man walk in, her long lashes couldn’t help but tremble slightly. 

Romina’s voice was much lower than before. “Mr. Bowman, why did you suddenly come in?” 

Jericho’s brows darkened as he strode toward her. “What did he just do to you?” 

Romina instinctively swallowed, her gaze evasive. “Nothing.”
