Joaquin’s voice came from across the table, but to Romina, it sounded both near and far, her head growing heavier.


    “I feel…” Romina braced herself against the table and slowly stood up. “Not so good, I think.”


    As she stood, she nearly bumped into the table, and the chair behind her toppled over as she staggered.


    Seeing her like this, Joaquin quickly stepped forward, his slender fingers grasping her arm.


    Romina fell into the man’s chest in an instant.


    Joaquin waved toward the waiter. “Check, please.”


    Hearing they were paying, Romina fumbled for her phone, and after pulling it out, looked up at the man before her. “Mr. Bowman, let me…”


    “No need for you to pay. Just lean quietly against me and don’t fall.”


    Joaquin supported her, carefully protecting her as if afraid she might bump into something.


    Romina stumbled along with Joaquin until after the bill was settled, when he picked her up and quickly carried her toward her car.


    But as they neared her car, Joaquin led her to the one parked next to it.


    She looked closely and realized it was Joaquin’s car.


    Erick was sitting in the driver’s seat at that moment. Seeing them approach, he quickly got out to open the door for them.


    “What about my car? You’re not just going to leave it here, are you?”


    Romina muttered, reluctant to get in.


    “Someone wille and drive it away for youter, don’t worry.”


    Joaquin ced his hand on her forehead, soothing her gently.

    Romina nodded lightly, then finally got into the car.


    Though she was drunk, her mind was still somewhat clear, but on the way back, her consciousness grew increasingly hazy.


    It was only when the car came to a steady stop that she realized they were at Joaquin’s house.


    about “You’re drunk. If you go home now, Lina and your best friend will definitely worry you.” Seeing her curious look, Joaquin lowered his eyes and exined, “Just stay at my ce tonight!”


    The man didn’t give her a chance to refuse, simply carried her out of the car.


    And she…


    She hadn’t really nned to go back to Breeze Vista anyway.


    Although it wasn’t Romina’s first time at his house, it was her first time entering his bedroom.


    She truly hadn’t expected Joaquin would bring her into his own room.


    She sniffed herself, then got up and walked toward the bathroom. “Mr. Bowman, I’d like to take a shower…”


    Joaquin strode in. “I’ll run the water for you.”


    Seeing the man enter the bathroom ahead of her, Romina’s nervousness grew even stronger.


    Her mind was filled with the image of Jericho grabbing her in the hallway.


    Since things hade to this, she might as well go with the flow!


    Why should he be allowed, but not her?


    After entering, Romina took off her jacket right in front of Joaquin.


    It was summer, almost autumn, and she was wearing a thin ck camisole dress underneath.


    With her jacket off, her fair shoulders and snowy swan neck were exposed.


    Joaquin was bent over, running the bathwater, but when he saw her reaction, his hand on the faucet paused.


    The next moment, he suddenly stepped forward and pulled her jacket back on, covering her pale shoulders.

    “What are you doing?”


    Romina frowned slightly, looking at him in confusion.


    Joaquin’s deep eyes took on aplicated look. “Romina, hasn’t anyone ever told you not to undress in front of a man so casily? Do you know what that means?”


    Romina tilted her head in confusion, asking curiously, “What does it mean?”


    Joaquin’s hands were still gripping both sides of her cardigan.


    As he looked down at her, he caught a glimpse of the clear emotion in her eyes, and in their depths, he saw a hint of tender affection.


    He looked at her and said, word by word, “I might think you’re trying to seduce me.”


    His tone was indifferent, almost devoid of emotion, but the deep desire in his eyes did not escape her notice.


    Though she was very drunk, her mind remained clear for a moment.


    To be precise, she knew exactly what she was doing.


    She rose on tiptoe, wrapped her arms around the man’s chest, and looked into his eyes, her tone extremely suggestive. “Mr. Bowman, couldn’t it be that you’re attracted by my charm?”


    As soon as she finished speaking, the man let out a low, huskyugh.


    Then he grabbed her chin with one hand, wrapped his other arm around her waist, and pulled her close in an instant. “Do you know how dangerous your situation is right now?”


    “As long as it’s what I want, then it’s not dangerous at all.”


    A hint of surprise shed in Joaquin’s eyes. “Should I take that to mean you want to…”
