Romina’s voice was extremely low, the corners of her eyes sharp with coldness.
As she turned to leave, Jericho suddenly grabbed her wrist. “If I find out you’re really up to something with Joaquin, you’d better watch yourself.”
At those words, Romina’s heart skipped a beat.
She had never intended such a thing, but his words did give her pause.
If she really needed someone to rely on, Joaquin would be a good choice.
After all, Jericho was the one who was unfaithful first. Why shouldn’t she do the same?
“I’m already divorcing you. Why do you still care so much?” Romina gave a faint smile. “I’m not your wife anymore, so to me, Joaquin is just another man…”
Man.
When that word reached his ears, a flush of red appeared at the corner of Jericho’s eyes.
“Romina, do you know what you’re saying? That’s my uncle!”
“He’s your uncle, not mine.”
She shook off his hand without hesitation, her smile growing even colder.

For the first time, he saw a hint of seductiveness in her.
Watching her receding figure, Jericho said, “When did you become so wanton?”
Wanton.
When Romina heard that word, her steps suddenly halted.
This was the first time Jericho had ever used such a word to describe
her.
“Say whatever you want.”
Romina curled her thin lips, her face full of mocking amusement.
After leaving the Bowman Group, Romina stood in front of the building for a long time, deep in thought.
In the end, she took out her phone and sent Joaquin a text message.
“Mr. Bowman, are you free tonight?”
Romina held her phone in her hands, waiting quietly.
After only a short while, a notification popped up on her phone.
“If you have time, Ms. Sandoval, are you planning to invite me to dinner?”
Romina was momentarily stunned when she saw the message.
Even through the screen, he could accurately guess what she was thinking.
It was truly amazing.
Romina quickly typed a line of text and immediately hit send.

“Ding-”
Joaquin had just finished his meeting and stepped out when his phone buzzed with a message notification. He gently swiped the screen with his fingertip and saw the message from Romina.
“Didn’t we agree yesterday that we would have a meal with Liną another day, just as a simple formality? How about tonight?”
The man’s thin lips curled slightly, and a casual smile appeared on his face.
“Mr. Bowman, the project manager from the Science Museum would like to invite you to dinner tonight…”
Erick held the report in his hand and looked up at the man’s back.
Before he could finish speaking, Joaquin interrupted him: “Postpone it
to tomorrow‘
“But you agreed to this a few days ago.” Erick stepped forward, a bit puzzled, and asked, “Are you going back to the Bowman’s mansion tonight to have dinner with Sir Bowman?”
“Is he the only one I can have dinner with?”
“Not exactly, it’s just that you usually cancel social engagements to go back to the Bowman’s mansion. Erick noticed he was still typing on his phone and curiously pressed on, “Mr. Bowman, are you in love?”
Joaquin’s eyelashes fluttered slightly. He looked up at Erick and asked, “What makes you think that?”
“Your reaction is a bit like…”
Erick subconsciously reached out and pointed at Joaquin’s phone.

Joaquin merely glanced at him, quickly typed a line, and replied to Romina.
“Pick a place and send it to me.”
He slipped his phone into his pocket, his eyes turning cold and sharp. “If you’re so free, go find a way to track down that ‘Rosella‘ for me. Her phone’s been off for days. What’s going on with her?”
“Mr. Bowman, I really have no solution for this. I can’t just hire a hacker to find her, can I?”
“I don’t care what you do, just find her as soon as possible.”
“Yes, sir.”
Joaquin strode away from the corridor.
Erick immediately felt a headache coming on. Who exactly was this ‘Rosella,‘ and why was she so mysterious?
She turns off her phone for days at a time–doesn’t she care about her business?
In the evening, when Romina went to pick up Lina, she ran into Nadine and Kashton at the school gate.
With his sharp eyes, Kashton immediately recognized the two people ahead.
When his gaze landed on Romina holding Lina’s hand, a surge of jealousy instantly welled up inside him.
“Mom!”
Hearing the voice, Romina turned around. When she saw the two people standing behind her, she stopped in her tracks.

Lina, who was beside her, also stopped walking. When she met Kashton’s gaze, she instinctively tightened her grip on Romina’s hand.
“Why are you picking her up again? Why didn’t Uncle Joaquin come to get her?”
