This kind of ancient quartz was almost impossible to find on the market.
Suddenly, Terry’s figure appeared in Romina’s mind.
Maybe Terry would have some…
“So? Is it very difficult?”
Elliana leaned in curiously, examining it closely.
“It’s definitely not easy, but there is a way. I might have to leave Straland for a bit, because this kind of quartz is hard to find. I’ll have to get it from Terry…‘
“I remember Terry is in Riverchester, right? That’s several hundred kilometers from here. Why not just have him mail it to you?”
Elliana looked at her in confusion.
“No, this kind of quartz is already rare. If anything goes wrong in transit, it would be a real problem.”
Romina’s expression gradually darkened.
“Romi, are you going on a business trip?”
Hearing the voices, Miguel quickly walked in, curiosity flashing in his eyes as he glanced at what she was holding.
It was a broken quartz flower carving.
One look and you could tell it was high–end.
Romina quickly snapped the lid shut as she realized.
“Why are you everywhere?”
Elliana stepped in front of Romina, glaring at Miguel with clear displeasure.
Miguel’s brows furrowed suddenly. “Elliana, what makes you so special?”

Elliana asked in confusion, “What are you talking about? How am I special?”
“You’re especially nosy.”
Miguel replied bluntly, a faint, indifferent smile curving his lips.
Elliana rolled her eyes at him. “Not only are you nosy, you’re also incredibly gossipy. You have to peek at everything. What if next time Romi is changing in the lounge…”
“I have no such hobby! Don’t slander me!”
Miguel hurriedly interrupted her.
“Enough,” Romina said sternly. “Miguel, I might have to go out tomorrow and probably won’t be back for two days. Can you manage the wellness clinic on your own?”
“Of course!” When it came to serious matters, Miguel replied earnestly, “A man can’t say he can’t do it.”
“Oh, please! At best, you’re just a good–looking kid, what kind of man are you?” Elliana suddenly said with a touch of pride. “Someone like Joaquin, now that’s a real man.”
“Although I admit Mr. Bowman is indeed charming, we’re just not the same type at all…”
“You two can’t even be compared.”

Listening to their back–and–forth, Romina suddenly felt an urge to laugh.
At that moment, her phone suddenly rang.
She glanced down, and when she saw the name on the screen, she froze for a moment.
The name Joaquin appeared before her eyes.
Just as expected.
People really can’t help but think of someone.
After Romina answered the call, Joaquin’s voice came through the phone: “Come out to the
entrance for a moment.”
Before she could respond, the call was abruptly ended.

She told Elliana to watch the child, then walked toward the entrance.
Joaquin’s Maybach was parked by the roadside of the wellness clinic, hazard lights flashing.
As Romina approached, the door on her side was suddenly opened from inside.
The next second, the man’s handsome face appeared before her eyes.
Romina got in and closed the car door.
She turned to Joaquin and asked, “Mr. Bowman, is there something you need from me?”
“The snacks I bought for you last time must be finished by now, right?” Joaquin took out a box and handed it to Romina. “There’s a new flavor today. Take it home for the child to try.”
Romina’s eyelashes fluttered slightly.
For the first time, she directly felt this man’s thoughtfulness.
Whoever is lucky enough to become his wife and have his child in the future will surely be very happy, won’t they?
As this thought popped into her mind, she instinctively shook her head.
The man’s brows furrowed slightly. “Why are you shaking your head? Does that mean you don’t want it?”
Romina snapped out of her thoughts and quickly replied, “No, that’s not what I meant.”
Joaquin placed the bag beside her thigh and lowered his voice: “Take it home for her to eat.”
“Alright, then I’ll thank Mr. Bowman on Lina’s behalf.” Romina gave a husky laugh. “It’s really Lina’s good fortune to be Mr. Bowman’s goddaughter…”
“And what about you?”
Joaquin suddenly leaned in closer, placing his hand on Romina’s waist.
Romina’s heart instantly leapt into her throat.
She turned to look at him, her expression a bit tense. “What about me?”
Joaquin looked down at her, his voice incredibly gentle: “I lave you never thought about becoming someone special to me?”

Romina felt her whole heart was in chaos.
That feeling was hard to put into words.
After a few minutes, Romina finally said calmly, “Mr. Bowman, you must be joking. Haven’t
I always been Jericho’s wife? Who else could I be to you?”
“As long as you want, you can have any relationship you desire.”
