Joaquin’s tone was indifferent, his face completely expressionless.
“You mean he followed me all the way here from Straland?”
Joaquin’s thin lips parted slightly. “Yes.”
After hearing the definite answer, a wary look suddenly appeared in her eyes.
Who on earth wanted her dead?
“Romina, why did you come to see him?”
Joaquin’s gaze passed over her and landed on the courtyard not far outside the window.
Although he hadn’t mentioned any names, she could tell he was talking about Terry.
Of course, she couldn’t tell him that she had come for the quartz, with the purpose of helping him repair the broken quartz flower carving.
After a moment’s pause, she finally replied softly, “I just haven’t been here in a long time and wanted to take a look.”
“And you still say it has nothing to do with him?” Joaquin suddenly pinched her chin, bringing her face closer. “Is the reason you won’t come with me because of that man?”
Romina’s eyelashes fluttered wildly up and down.
A visible tension appeared on her face.
Seeing her reaction, Joaquin’s eyes darkened. “You suddenly got so nervous–did I guess right?”
The reason she was nervous was because they were so close to each other.
The atmosphere at this moment was extremely ambiguous.
“Mr. Bowman, it’s getting late. You should go back and rest! I’ll be waiting for you on time tomorrow…”

Romina quickly pushed him away and instinctively reached for the door handle.
Joaquin didn’t stop her this time, letting her get out of the car and leave.
She was in a special period now, so even if something did happen between her and that man, it probably wouldn’t go too far.
Even under the same roof, he could feel at case.
After Romina returned to the courtyard, she happened to see Terry walking toward her.
When Terry saw her coming in from the entrance, he was a little surprised. “Mimi, so you really went out. I called for you at your room door for a long time and didn’t hear anything. I thought maybe you had gone out…‘

“I haven’t been here in a long time and wanted to see how things have changed around here, so I went out for a walk.”
“If you want to look around, you can stay a few more days.”
Terry looked at her with a faint trace of reluctance in his expression.
Romina instinctively shook her head. “There are still things waiting for me to handle at the wellness clinic. I can’t stay long this time. I have to leave tomorrow morning.”
“Didn’t you say you bought a high–speed train ticket for the afternoon? How did it become the morning? Did you change your ticket?”
Terry looked at her curiously, a hint of surprise flickering in his eyes.
“Didn’t we run into a thug at the food street today? Mr. Bowman said my situation is quite dangerous right now. It just so happens that he’s also going back to Straland tomorrow, so he plans to take me with him.”
Romina walked over to a stone table not far away and sat down on the bench.
Seeing this, Terry quickly followed her.
After the two sat down facing each other, Terry finally looked up at her. “Mimi, there’s something I don’t know if I should ask.”
Romina had already guessed what he wanted to ask, but she still nodded in the end. “Alright, go ahead.”

“Are you and that Joaquin… dating?”
As soon as he said this, Romina’s heart suddenly leapt into her throat.
This question was far beyond what she had expected.
