“Romina, what do you mean by that? Are you saying I haven’t taken good care of Kash?”
“If you had, would the child be getting sick every other day?” Romina’s lips curled into a cold smile. “He just had a high fever not long ago, and now he’s got diarrhea. Haven’t you noticed how weak he’s been lately?”
“What are you two arguing about?”
At that moment, a deep, low voice suddenly came from the direction of the door, completely interrupting the two of them.
Hearing the voice, Romina turned around and saw that Jericho had already returned and was standing at the door.
“Jericho.” Nadine quickly approached him, her expression tinged with grievance. “Ms. Sandoval said Kash isn’t feeling well because I’ve been giving him a lot of fried food lately. She’s blaming me!”
Her tone was full of softness, mixed with a hint of grievance.
Any man who heard it would feel compelled to defend her.
Heh.
Truly, accusing others before being accused herself–she played the victim perfectly.
“Nadine rarely has time to cook for Kash. She just made some dishes he likes. Why are you blaming her?”
Jericho frowned slightly, looking at Romina with clear displeasure.
Romina’s tone grew even colder: “If that’s the case, then don’t ask me to come and check on
him next time!”
Jericho raised his voice: “Romina, do you even hear yourself right now?”
“I don’t have time to waste with you two.” Romina shot him a glare and walked toward the door. “The child’s condition has improved. If you don’t want to listen to me, then just let him eat more fried food and keep having diarrhea.”

“Romina, how can you talk like that?”
Jericho glared at Romina, the atmosphere around him growing even colder.
Romina had no intention of responding to them and continued walking toward the door.
After leaving Landwin Villa, Romina drove straight home.
She had been in a fairly good mood today, but after coming here, she felt a heavy weight in
her chest.
When she arrived home, Romina saw a very familiar car through the windshield.
When she caught sight of the figure standing next to the driver’s seat, her eyelashes suddenly trembled.
The man leaned against the car, his hand holding a cigarette. He lifted it slightly, and when he turned his head, their eyes met.
Romina’s hand on the steering wheel paused involuntarily.
Why did he suddenly show up?
After putting out his cigarette, Joaquin walked toward her Porsche.
Romina’s eyelashes fluttered even more intensely.
It wasn’t until he reached the car that she rolled down the window: “Mr. Bowman.”
Joaquin rested his hand on the window and looked up at Romina: “Not planning to get out of the car?”
“You’re standing outside, so it’s hard for me to open the door…” A faint nervousness appeared on Romina’s face as she quickly changed the subject. “Why did you suddenly come here?”
Joaquin gazed at her delicate features, his tone casual: “I came to see you.”
Romina’s heart suddenly leapt into her throat.
Her mind was filled with everything that had just happened…
Every time Joaquin had come here before, it was always to see Lina.
But this time, he said he came to see her.

“Click-”
The moment the car door was pulled open from the outside, Romina’s fingertips on the steering wheel trembled slightly.
The nervousness in her heart suddenly intensified.
Before Romina could react, the man grabbed her wrist from the doorway.
In the next second, she was pulled out of the car entirely.
Her heels stumbled a little, and her body involuntarily leaned forward.
Seeing this, the man quickly reached out with his other hand, wrapped his arm around Romina’s waist, and pulled her directly into his embrace.
The sudden closeness made the atmosphere between them extremely ambiguous.
That faint cool scent, mixed with a trace of elusive tobacco, instantly filled her nose.
“It’s been less than a day since we parted, Ms. Sandoval, and you already miss being in my arms?”
After listening to his words, Romina’s face visibly showed her nervousness.
She steadied herself, then pushed the man in front of her away: “Mr. Bowman, please don’t joke around.”
“Everything I asked was sincere, I wasn’t joking with you.
After being pushed back a little, Joaquin suddenly grabbed her arm again.
This time, he pressed her directly against the door of the driver’s seat.
Romina instinctively glanced around.
Jericho’s people were always lurking near Breeze Vista, and she was afraid they might see something they shouldn’t.
“What is it?” Joaquin reached out and pinched her chin, forcing her to turn her face toward him. “Are you worried Jericho will see us?”
“Mr. Bowman, I think it’s better if we keep some distance…
“After sleeping together, you want to talk about keeping distance?”
