Betrayed By Husband And Child (Romina) novel Chapter 68

“Ms. Sandoval, why did you come all of a sudden?” Nadine’s voice was tinged with displeasure. “This is Jericho’s workplace. Isn’t it rather inappropriate for you to barge in like this?”

“If I, the legitimate wife, can’t come, then how can you, who have no rightful status, be here?”

Romina glanced at her, her tone icy and indifferent.

“Ms. Sandoval, what do you mean by that? Who are you calling illegitimate?”

“I didn’t mention any names! If Ms. Lambert wants to take it personally, I won’t stop you…”

“Romina, that’s enough.” Jericho quickly stood up and walked toward the sofa. “What exactly did you come here for?”

“Ask her to leave. I want to talk to you alone about this matter.”

Romina’s tone was cold, her expression filled with indifference.

The man’s face darkened. “Nadine isn’t an outsider. What could you possibly have to say that she can’t hear?”

“But she’s not your devoted wife now, is she? We’re the ones who are legally married. I want to discuss something private with you, and you insist on having her here?” Romina’s tone grew even colder. “If you let her leave a bit faster, maybe next time you won’t have to sneak around like this.”

grim.

Nadine was fuming, but with Jericho present, she couldn’t say much

more.

She tugged at Jericho’s sleeve, her voice growing more coquettish. “Jericho, in that case, let’s talk on the phone later! I’ll leave for now.”

“Alright.”

Jericho nodded gently, his expression full of tenderness.

Romina glanced over, and for the first time, she saw such a gentle look on this man’s face.

Even when they were at their most intimate before, she had never seen him show her even a fraction of this tenderness.

Heh.

So it turns out that love and indifference really are obvious at a glance.

She used to think his distance and coldness toward her were just part of his nature, but now she realized he was only cold to her.

The person he wanted to warm was never her.

“Click-”

After the door closed, Jericho strode over to sit across from Romina.

After sitting down, he looked at her indifferently. “What do you want to say to me?”

“What is there left to say between us?” Romina looked at him expressionlessly, her tone flat. “Naturally, I’m here to urge you to sign the papers. When are you finally going to sign?”

Romina’s expression darkened. “You really had someone following

“Answer my question! Why are you and Joaquin so close?”

Jericho suddenly grabbed her chin, forcing her to look up.

“I almost fell down the steps, and Joaquin helped me. By the time it got to you, it turned into us hugging?” Romina shook off his hand, her thin lips curling into a mocking smile. “Next time, tell your people to get a better look. I don’t care about these rumors, but if Joaquin hears them, it will be a different story.”

Jericho’s eyelashes trembled slightly.

What she said was, in fact, true.

Joaquin hated being slandered more than anything…

Romina stood up from her chair, and Jericho straightened up as well.

“If you refuse to sign, I don’t mind dragging this out with you. But from today on, as far as I’m concerned, we’re officially divorced. From now on, our lives won’t interfere with each other. Please have your people stop watching me.”
