Romina was already nervous, and his question made her back stiffen for a moment.
She forced a smile and pretended to be calm: “Uncle Joaquin is right.”
“Since you’re both back, come down and have dinner! Jericho is already waiting for you downstairs.”
“Is that so?” Joaquin responded carelessly. “So Jericho hasn’t left yet!”
His tone was full of hidden meaning, leaving people puzzled.
But Romina knew just how dangerous the situation had been moments ago.
If Jericho had come back, their secret relationship could have been exposed in an instant.
Romina nodded lightly and then headed downstairs.
Since Hayden had not fully recovered, only a few of them had dinner together.
It was only during dinner that Romina realized Kashton had come as well.
This dinner was pure torment for Romina.
Especially with Jericho’s eyes, as if they were pinned to her, making her too afraid to even glance at Joaquin across the table.
“Dad, why do you keep staring at Mom?”
Kashton seemed to sense something, his gaze fixed on Jericho’s face, his voice full of confusion.
“Your mom is so beautiful today, I just can’t help but look at her a few more times…‘
Jericho’s sudden flirtatious remark made Romina’s brows furrow instantly
This damn man, is he out of his mind?
Kashton asked in confusion, “Dad, you never used to praise Mom before. Why are you acting so strange today?”

Jericho was momentarily stunned, then quickly looked away. “Just eat your food and stop talking so much.”
“I’m done. You all take your time.” Romina quickly stood up from her chair. “I’ll go ahead.”
Across from her, Joaquin glanced up at her, and the reluctance in his eyes was clearly caught by Jericho.
At that moment, Jericho became even more convinced of his suspicions.
There was definitely more going on between them than met the eye…
After dinner, Joaquin went up to the third floor to check on Hayden. When he came out, he saw someone standing at the door.
“Joaquin, can we talk?”
Jericho stood by the door, his voice low and heavy.
Joaquin’s eyes turned cold, and he walked toward the end of the corridor.
After stopping, he took out a cigarette, lit it, and looked out the window.
Jericho followed and stood beside him, gazing at the man’s handsome profile, and asked curiously, “Joaquin, why have you been so close to Romina lately?”
Joaquin’s hand holding the cigarette paused ever so slightly.
After thinking for a moment, he replied softly, “I think I’ve already answered that question before.”
“But even if it’s for the child, you don’t have to be this close, do you?”
Jericho suddenly took out his phone and held it up in front of Joaquin.
Joaquin lifted his deep, clear eyes and glanced at it indifferently.
In the photo, he was leaning against the entrance of Breeze Vista, with Romina in the crook of his arm. It did look rather intimate.
At first glance, they actually looked quite well–matched…
The corners of Joaquin’s lips suddenly curled up slightly, and he replied in a cool, indifferent voice, “What does this photo prove?”

“Doesn’t this prove anything?”
Jericho was surprised, his brows furrowing slightly.
Joaquin suddenly let out a low, hoarse laugh, but said nothing.
“Joaquin, even though you keep saying you’re only close to Romina because of the child, no matter what the truth is, I hope you’ll keep your distance from her. After all, we’re not divorced yet…”
“You don’t really want a divorce, do you?”
Joaquin suddenly lowered his voice, his eyes taking on a chilling coldness.
As soon as he said this, Jericho’s brows furrowed involuntarily.
After hesitating for two seconds, he finally replied, “To be honest, I never thought she would actually want a divorce. It was her decision, not mine. What could I do?”
“Then you should get divorced as soon as possible!”
Joaquin’s expression darkened, his entire presence exuding a terrifying aura.
“Joaquin, what do you mean by that?” Jericho’s face was extremely grim. “Why do you like you’re hoping for our divorce?”

Joaquin immediately stubbed out his cigarette, not even looking up. “Because you’re not good enough for her.”
With that, he strode quickly toward the stairs.
Jericho watched his retreating figure, his hands at his sides clenching so tightly that his knuckles turned white.
Not good enough for her?
This was the first time anyone had ever said he wasn’t good enough for Romina!
And that person was Joaquin!
Jericho was so angry that veins bulged on his forehead, his face dark as night.
When Romina arrived home, it was already past eight in the evening.
Elliana quickly came over. “Tomorrow is the live broadcast of Nadine’s appearance on the
