After they had slept together, he had suggested being together, but she had always been evasive, never giving him a clear answer.Â
So it was because she had someone else?Â
The sky gradually darkened, and the early autumn evening breeze lifted the ends of Romina’s long hair.Â
When the car stopped at the entrance of the food street, he immediately spotted the two figures at the door.Â
From Joaquin’s angle, she looked breathtakingly beautiful.Â
Romina was holding a box of pastries, chatting with Terry at the entrance, her smile wide and unrestrained.Â
At that moment, someone in the shadows was steadily approaching Romina.Â
The man wore a black hat and mask, and the tip of a military knife hidden in his phone case was just visible–Joaquin spotted it instantly.Â
The man’s gaze was fixed on Romina’s abdomen.Â
Romina, still chatting with “Terry,‘ didn’t notice any of this.Â
Erick seemed to notice the scene as well. When he glanced back, the rear car door had already been flung open by Joaquin.Â
The man sprinted toward Romina…Â
At that moment, Romina, completely unaware, just felt as if someone was rushing towardÂ
herÂ
Before she could react, her wrist was suddenly grabbed from the side.Â

Especially that faint, cool scent on him, which instantly filled her senses.Â
At that moment, a man in black with a hat was suddenly kicked hard by Erick.Â
The man fell to the ground instantly.Â
“Clang-”Â
The knife hit the ground, making a harsh sound.Â
Romina stared in disbelief at the scene, then turned to look at the man beside her.Â
Joaquin was holding her wrist with one hand, his other arm wrapped tightly around her waist.Â
As if he was afraid she might slip away from him at any moment.Â
The man looked down at her in silence.Â
Shock continued to well up in Romina’s eyes. “Joaquin, what are you doing here?”Â
Before Joaquin could respond, Terry beat him to it. “Mimi, are you alright?”Â
Joaquin’s eyes instantly turned cold and dark.Â
His gaze lingered on the man’s face in front of him, and when he saw the other reach out, he immediately grabbed Romina’s wrist.Â
In the next moment, Romina was pulled out of Joaquin’s embrace.Â
After Terry pulled her to his side, he looked at Joaquin with a wary expression.Â
As his arms suddenly emptied, a strong sense of loss appeared on Joaquin’s face, and the hostility in his eyes grew even stronger as he looked at the other man.Â
“Thank youÂ
for earlier, sir.”Â
Although Terry was expressing gratitude, his tone carried a hint of coldness.Â
Joaquin glanced at the man in front of him, then fixed his gaze on Romina’s face and asked with a stern expression, “Who is he?”Â
As soon as he spoke, Terry’s brows furrowed slightly. “You two know each other?”Â
Romina instinctively nodded. “Terry, this is Jericho’s uncle, Mr. Joaquin.”Â

Upon hearing that he was from the Bowman family, Terry’s expression grew even darker.Â
In his impression, there was not a single decent person in the Bowman family.Â
“Mr. Bowman, this is my grandfather’s only disciple…” Romina introduced to Joaquin, “Terry.”Â
Although Terry disliked people from the Bowman family, he still reached out his hand to the other. “Nice to meet you.”Â
Joaquin looked down at the hand extended to him, and finally reached out his own. “Nice to meet you.”Â
Terry could clearly sense that the way this man looked at Romina was very different.Â
