Chapter 195Â
Walking to the window on the other side and looking down, he saw the black Porsche slowly driving out of his yard, heading toward the nearby road, and finally disappearing into the half–lit, half–dark dusk.Â
It wasn’t until the car was completely out of sight that Joaquin withdrew his gaze and walked toward the bathroom.Â
As he washed his hands, watching the water flow over his fingertips, a dull ache inexplicably welled up in his chest.Â
Did he push her too hard just now, and that’s why she left in anger?Â
At this moment, on the road.Â
Romina drove aimlessly forward, her mind replaying the scenes from earlier over and over.Â
It was only when the sky gradually brightened that she found a place to have breakfast. When she arrived at the wellness clinic, Miguel hadn’t arrived yet.Â
At nine in the morning, she received a message from Joaquin, but it was sent to ‘Rosella,‘ asking how the pendant repair was going.Â
The events of the early morning replayed in her mind again, and she felt a surge of inexplicable anger.Â
But he was a client now, so she still had to be polite to him.Â
“It’s being repaired and will take some time. I’ll let you know when it’s done, so please don’t worry, Mr. Bowman.”Â
Not long after she sent the message, Joaquin replied again.Â
“I am indeed a bit anxious, so please hurry.”Â
Romina unconsciously tightened her grip on her phone for a moment.Â

Besides, Sabrina was about to finalize her divorce, so if he was in a hurry for that reason, it was understandable.Â
For some reason, a wave of sourness welled up in her heart.Â
Especially when she thought of those ambiguous moments between them in the early morning, while he still had someone else in his heart…Â
How was he any different from Jericho?Â
As expected, there wasn’t a single good one in the Bowman family!Â
A man is only truly honest when he’s hanging on the wall.Â
“Romi, that guy is here again…”Â
There were no patients at the moment, and Romina was resting in the lounge area when Miguel’s voice suddenly came from the entrance.Â
He didn’t mention a name, but Romina immediately knew who it was.Â
Miguel’s dislike for Jericho mostly stemmed from her.Â
His way of referring to him had changed from ‘Jericho‘ to ‘the ex,‘ and now simply ‘that guy.‘Â
“Which guy? Don’t I have a name?”Â
A deep voice came from behind Miguel, breaking the previously pleasant atmosphere.Â
Miguel glanced back and glared at him, then left without a word.Â
Romina quickly put down her phone and looked up at Jericho in front of her: “What do youÂ
want from me?”Â
“Mom, I heard you bullied Nadi again. Is it true?”Â
Before Jericho could respond, a childish voice interrupted.Â
Romina frowned slightly, and when she looked down, she saw that Kashton had somehow come in through the door.Â
Heh.Â
It was one thing for him to come himself, but he even brought the child along.Â

Was it just to seek justice for Nadine?Â
“What?” Romina leaned back in her chair, her tone casual. “What did Nadine tell you this time to make you so upset? Did she say I pointed a knife at her?”Â
“Mom, you really haven’t learned your lesson! After all that time in prison, you still haven’t changed. Your heart is as vicious as ever…”Â
Vicious.Â
