That gaze, so aggressive, also carried a hint of gentleness.Â
It was extremely complicated.Â
Even the hand gripping his own tightened a little.Â
“Mr. Bowman, why did you suddenly show up here?”Â
Romina could clearly sense the atmosphere was off, so she hurriedly spoke to break theÂ
tension.Â
Only after hearing her voice did Joaquin release the other’s hand.Â
“I happened to be on a business trip nearby and just passed by.”Â
Joaquin’s tone was indifferent, his face showing no extra emotion.Â
“Riverchester is such a big place, yet Mr. Bowman managed to find us here so precisely. Surely it’s not just a coincidence, is it?”Â
After Terry spoke, he looked at him with a cold, gloomy expression.Â
Joaquin did not rush to respond, but instead instructed Erick beside him to take the man in black away.Â
After giving these instructions, he turned to look at Terry and Romina. “Since we’ve met by chance, why not have a meal together?”Â
Terry instinctively refused. “No need, I’d rather have dinner alone with Mimi.Â
Joaquin could sense that Terry seemed to harbor great hostility toward him, most likely because of Jericho.Â
“It’s our first meeting, Mr. Gomez, yet you already have such hostility toward me. I don’t quite understand why”Â
Terry looked him straight in the eye. “My impression of the Bowman family is not good at all. When Mimi was wrongfully imprisoned, did anyone from the Bowman family help her?”Â

Romina was suddenly stunned for a moment.Â
She hadn’t expected him to bring up the past at such a critical moment.Â
Wrongfully imprisoned.Â
When those words reached his ears, Joaquin’s upper lashes couldn’t help but tremble slightly.Â
Finally, his gaze settled on Romina’s face, but he didn’t say a word.Â
They were standing at the entrance of the food street, with people coming and going.Â
Yet the atmosphere among them was especially gloomy, completely out of place with the lively food street.Â
“I don’t care what your relation to the Bowman family is. Just stay away from Mimi from now on. Since your nephew is already divorced from her, please don’t cross any boundaries, especially things like having her followed…”Â
Terry’s voice rose a notch, anger flashing in his eyes.Â
Romina instinctively reached out and tugged at his sleeve. “Terry, that’s enough.”Â
“I’m just telling the truth. If he hadn’t sent someone to follow you, how could he have found this place? Who knows what Joaquin is really up to!”Â
Romina’s heart suddenly leapt to her throat.Â
She could clearly feel that the man’s aura across from her had changed.Â
Romina quickly grabbed Terry’s arm and said to Joaquin, “Mr. Bowman, we have other things to attend to, so we’ll be leaving now.”Â
Without waiting for a response, she quickly pulled Terry’s hand and walked decisively toward the roadside.Â
Joaquin looked up at their departing figures, his gaze lingering on Romina holding Terry’s hand, the anger in his eyes growing even deeper.Â
His hands at his sides clenched tightly for a moment.Â
Their relationship definitely isn’t that simple…Â
By the time they returned to Woodland Villa, it was already past nine in the evening.Â

After showering, Romina went out to the terrace, intending to enjoy the night view, but unexpectedly saw a familiar figure.Â
Not far from the yard was a small bamboo grove, and at the end of the grove was the roadside.Â
A man was leaning against a car, a cigarette between his fingers, and when he looked their eyes met.Â
Seeing that figure, Romina’s hand on the railing suddenly clenched for a moment.Â
It was Joaquin.Â
