Romina’s back stiffened instantly.
She quickly looked down, and when she saw the ck ring on the man’s right hand, her mind exploded.
It took her a few seconds to process what had happened yesterday…
Yesterday, she had slept with Joaquin!
The moment that thought popped into her head, she felt no regret at all, only endless
nervousness.
Her whole body ached as if it had fallen apart.
If she hadn’t experienced it herself, she would never have known Joaquin could be so
intense…
“Awake?”
The man’s low, maic voice came from behind her.
Romina instinctively tried to get up, responding softly, “Mm.”
But as soon as she moved to the edge of the bed, the man pulled her back, pinning her
beneath him in an instant.
Romina’s eyes were still a little sleepy, but when she saw the man’s handsome face, she suddenly became much more alert.
“What is it? Ms. Sandoval, you want to run away after sleeping with me?”
Joaquin pinched her chin, his long legs straddling her slender waist, while his other hand braced on the mattress beside her right side.
The position was extremely intimate.
Romina swallowed instinctively, saying nothing.
“Why aren’t you saying anything?” Joaquin frowned slightly. “You aren’t regretting it, are

you? I remember you said yesterday you wouldn’t regret it when you woke up.”
Actually, the reason she had the courage to sleep with him after drinkingst night was mostly because she had been provoked by Jericho, but she didn’t regret it.
“I don’t regret it.”
Her reply was concise and to the point.
Hearing her answer, the man let out a low, huskyugh. “But your expression doesn’t look like someone who doesn’t regret it.”
“I really don’t regret it. You’re overthinking it.”
Romina braced her hands against his chest, trying to push him away.
“Then prove it to me.”
The man’s tone was cold, and he gripped one of her wrists with one hand.
Romina was a little confused. “Prove it? How?”
The man leaned in and whispered in her ear, “Take the initiative just once, and I’ll believe you.”
A faint blush instantly spread across Romina’s face, making her look like a tempting red apple.
The sight made the man’s body react involuntarily.
“Mr. Bowman, I…”
Seeing her hesitate, Joaquin finally let her go and got up to walk toward the bathroom.
“As for what happened yesterday, I’ll ask you for an exnationter.‘
Watching his back and hearing his words, Romina’s heart sank.
An exnation?
Did he mean he wanted her to give him a title?
“1
But she wasn’t even divorced yet–how could she give him
any title?
And the other party was Joaquin!

Thinking of this, she finally realized just how bold she had beenst night.
Getting involved with Joaquin meant her life would never be peaceful again.
Romina hurriedly changed her clothes, packed up her things, and left.
At that moment, Joaquin, who was in the bathroom, had no idea she was already gone.
After taking a cold shower, the heat in his body finally began to subside.
When he opened the door, Romina was nowhere to be seen, and all her belongings were gone as well.
The man let out a low, huskyugh.
She thought she could run after catching his attention?
When Romina returned to the wellness clinic, she specifically checked her body to make sure there were no obvious marks before heading inside.
The Porsche that Joaquin had given her was now parked at the entrance of the wellness
clinic.
Romina nced at it, then walked into the hospital.
Miguel called out to her, “Romi.”
Hearing his voice, Romina suddenly stopped and looked back at the reception desk. “What’s up?”
Miguel handed her the car keys. “Mr. Bowman’s driver just brought your car back. He asked me to give you the keys.”
“Okay.”
Romina instinctively reached out to take them, nning to turn and leave.
But Miguel suddenly asked curiously, “Romi, why haven’t I seen Elliana aroundtely?”
Romina’s steps came to a halt instinctively.
She nced back at Miguel, the corners of her lips involuntarily lifting into a slight smile: “Why are you looking for her?”
When Miguel met Romina’s gaze, his eyes darted nervously around for a moment.

Seeing that look, Romina instantly sensed something was off.
This is…
Is there something going on?
Miguel swallowed reflexively, his face visibly flustered: “It’s nothing! I just haven’t seen her in a long time, so I wanted to ask.”
Romina nodded gently, her tone thoughtful: “Just wanted to ask…”
After meeting Romina’s gaze, Miguel instinctively lowered his eyes.
“Doctor, my leg feels a bit ufortable, could you take a look for me?”
At that moment, a patient walked in from the doorway, interrupting their conversation.
“Alright, let me take a look.”
