chapter 56
Romina didn’t dare to waste any time. She took the child’s hand and led her outside, taking a taxi to school.
When they arrived at the school, they happened to run into Kashton’s graduation ceremony.
Romina only glanced at the playground before quickly looking away.
Many students and parents were already taking photos over there.
As expected, that ‘family of three‘ was probably there too.
“Auntie Romi, what are they doing over there?”
Lina was especially curious about the scene, stopping in her tracks to look over, suddenly unable to move forward.
“They’re having a graduation ceremony. When you finish elementary school, you can attend your own graduation, take photos with your classmates, and I’ll be there to witness that moment with you.”
Seeing the child’s joyful expression, Romina squatted down to explain.
Her eyes and brows were filled with gentle smiles.
“Didn’t you say you weren’t coming? Why are you here?”
A familiar voice suddenly came from behind Romina.
She turned at the sound and saw three people standing behind her.
It was Jericho, Nadine, and her son Kashton.

The two of them were each holding one of Kashton’s hands.
At first glance, they really did look like a ‘family of three.‘
“I’m just dropping Lina off at school, not attending Kashton’s graduation ceremony.”
After Romina straightened up, Jericho finally noticed Lina standing behind her.
The man’s brows furrowed slightly in an instant.
When he saw Romina holding Lina’s wrist, a cold look flashed in his
eyes.
His voice carried a hint of interrogation. “Romina, who is she?”
When Lina saw the people in front of her, especially the displeased look on Jericho’s face, she instinctively took a few steps back, hiding behind Romina, her eyes filled with unease.
Seeing the child’s reaction, Romina didn’t rush to respond to the man’s words. Instead, she gently comforted the hiding Lina, saying softly, “Don’t be afraid. As long as I’m here, they won’t hurt you.”
When Kashton saw Romina’s hand gently stroking the little girl’s head, his expression subconsciously turned cold,
His mother had never been so gentle to any child other than him…
A surge of jealousy arose in an instant.
He raised his voice and shouted, “Mom, Dad is talking to you! Why aren’t you answering him?”
“What did you just say? I didn’t hear you clearly…”

Upon hearing Kashton’s voice, Romina shifted her gaze back to the
man.
But the hand holding Lina’s never let go.
“Dad is asking who this little girl is. Why are you holding her hand, and why are you being so gentle with her?”
Kashton looked up at her with displeasure, his round eyes filled with
anger.
Just as Romina was about to respond, the man across from her spoke first: “So the reason you’re so eager to divorce me is because you’ve already found someone else?”
At these words, a chill appeared between Romina’s brows.
It seemed that Lina had caused him to misunderstand.
“Jericho, don’t be so hasty. Let’s hear what Ms. Sandoval has to say first!”
Standing to the side, Nadine instinctively reached out and tugged at the man’s suit sleeve.
Her expression seemed gentle, but the fleeting glee and mockery in her eyes did not escape Romina’s notice.
“Who told you I’ve already found someone else?”
Romina shifted her gaze, fixing it on the man, her voice especially cold.
“If you haven’t found someone else, then where did this little girl come from? Did she pop out of a rock?”
Jericho’s eyes were full of dissatisfaction, and even his tone rose a

notch.
After hearing his words, Romina felt a surge of anger.
She retorted without hesitation, “Jericho, if you know how to speak, then speak properly. If you don’t, just shut your mouth!”
Popping out of a rock, really!
Just hearing it was infuriating!
“Romina, why have you become like this after just three years in prison?”
Seeing her aggressive stance in protecting the little girl, Jericho was even more infuriated.
When she didn’t respond, the man continued, “You used to be gentle and polite to me and everyone in the Bowman family, but now you speak so harshly, completely unlike before. What has changed you so much?”
Heh.
Romina curled her lips in a mocking smile and suddenly let out a cold laugh.
So even now, this man still didn’t know why she had become like this?
“Maybe it’s because my conscience was fed to the dogs, and now I’ve finally woken up!”
Romina’s tone was indifferent, her face devoid of any extra emotion.
“Ms. Sandoval, there’s no need for you to speak to Jericho like that. Even as an outsider, I feel chilled hearing it…”
