When she arrived at the gates of the Bowman’s mansion, she overheard two people talking.
It was Jericho and Lenora.
At that moment, inside the living room.
“Are you sure that’s what he said?”
“Yes!” Jericho said seriously. “Everyone was there at the time. He admitted in front of us that the little girl is his daughter.”
“Did you send someone to investigate? Who did Joaquin have the child with?”
The shock in Lenora’s eyes suddenly grew even stronger.
“I’ve already had someone look into it, but nothing came up. All we found was that the child lives at Breeze Vista.”
!
The man’s face darkened, and the atmosphere around him became especially intimidating.
“Breeze Vista? Isn’t that Romina’s place? How could Joaquin’s daughter be living there?” Lenora frowned. “Could it be that something is going on between Joaquin and Romina…”
“That’s impossible!” Jericho immediately denied his mother’s suspicion. “That child must be Joaquin’s with another woman. It can’t be with Romina.”
“Of course I know the child can’t be Joaquin and Romina’s. I’m saying,

could Romina be looking after Joaquin’s child because there’s some shady deal between them? Otherwise, why would she help him with the child?”
Lenora’s expression turned extremely grim.
Hearing this, Romina could no longer bear it.
This is exactly how rumors start!
It seemed Joaquin had been farsighted, probably having anticipated this day, which was why he had just gone over their story with her.
Without hesitation, she strode in. “Don’t talk nonsense behind people’s backs about things you don’t know.”
As soon as she entered the living room, the two figures on the sofa quickly turned around to look at Romina behind them.
“Why did you suddenly come?”
Lenora’s face showed a guilty conscience, her eyes darting around, not daring to meet Romina’s gaze.
“I came to check on Grandpa’s recovery, but I didn’t expect to hear you gossiping behind my back.” Romina curled her lips into a cold smile. “If you’re curious or have questions, just ask me directly!”
“Romina, we were just talking about Joaquin’s daughter. No one was talking about you…”
Lenora put on the airs of a mother–in–law, looking at Romina with obvious displeasure.
The man strode over to her, grabbed her wrist, and led her toward the backyard. “Come with me, I have something to ask you.”

Jericho lifted his eyelids and looked at the woman in front of him, his voice deep: “Why is that Lina living at Breeze Vista?”
As soon as he finished speaking, a mocking smile curled at the corner of Romina’s lips.
It seemed that everything was under Joaquin’s control, and Jericho had really gone to investigate Lina.
Apparently, he hadn’t found out the specifics, only the basic
information about the child and the fact that she lived at Breeze Vista.
Since things had come to this, Romina could only go along with the situation and replied, “I know the child’s mother, and with Joaquin’s busy work schedule, how could he possibly have time to take care of her every day?”
“You know the child’s biological mother?” Surprise flickered in Jericho’s eyes. “Then who is the child’s mother?”
“What does it have to do with you? Why are you so curious?”
“You’re my wife now, but you’re helping Joaquin take care of a child?” The man’s lips curled into a mocking smile. “Don’t you think what you’re doing is inappropriate? If word gets out, aren’t you afraid of causing trouble?”
“Joaquin isn’t afraid of causing trouble, so why should you be?” Romina’s tone was indifferent. “Besides, I already gave you the agreement, but you still haven’t signed it. What are you up to?”
“What am I up to? Don’t you know what’s going on with Grandpa? Do

you really think I don’t want to sign?”
“The method I mentioned to you last time, you can consider it. Let’s get the divorce certificate first…”
Romina hadn’t even finished her sentence when the man across from her interrupted: “I don’t have the energy to keep playing games with
you.”
“So you plan to keep dragging this out with me?”
“When you get Grandpa’s health fully treated and his condition is completely stable, then we can consider divorce. Otherwise, don’t even think about it.”
Jericho’s stance was exceptionally firm.
Romina was seething with anger.
She glared at the man in front of her, her brows filled with a chilling coldness.
“One more thing.” Jericho was about to leave, but suddenly turned back and continued, “You must never let Grandpa know about you taking care of Joaquin’s daughter. Otherwise, I won’t be able to explain
it to him.”
Romina naturally knew that Hayden must not find out about this.
