But the man’s voice sounded again from behind: “Romina, if you don’t give me an explanation today, don’t even think about leaving!”
At his words, Romina instinctively stopped in her tracks.
Perhaps Jericho’s voice was too loud and startled the child beside her.
Lina once again hid behind Romina, looking at them with aggrieved, reddened eyes.
Although she was young, she could still grasp the general situation unfolding before her.
Lina knew that the uncle bullying Romina was her husband.
“Explain what? I’ve already asked you for a divorce, and the agreement has been delivered to you. What else is there to explain between us?”
Romina shielded the child behind her, her voice rising in pitch.
The corners of her upturned eyes were tinged with a crimson hue.
“But we haven’t divorced yet, I haven’t signed! And you’re parading around with another man’s child. If word gets out, it won’t just be my reputation that’s ruined, but the entire Bowman family’s!”
Jericho was extremely agitated, the veins on his neck bulging.
Before Romina could respond, he continued, “And it’s obvious this child isn’t normal. She looks like she’s about to cry whenever someone raises their voice. You abandon your own child and go take care of another man’s mentally troubled kid! Did prison make you stupid?”

At these words, Romina was so angry that sweat broke out on her forehead.
She didn’t really care how Jericho insulted her.
But hearing him insult the child like that, especially right in front of her, saying such hurtful things, was something she could not tolerate.
“She doesn’t have mental problems, her situation is just a bit special. Please watch your words! If you say something that damages your reputation or the Bowman family’s, and it gets spread by someone with an agenda, that would be far more inappropriate than me ‘parading around‘ with a child!”
Romina’s tone was icy, her eyes full of anger.
“Mom, how can you talk to Dad like that? This little sister already looks very timid, Dad isn’t wrong!”
Kashton also spoke up to challenge Romina.
It was the first time Lina had seen so many people bullying Romina, and she couldn’t help but feel nervous.
She really wanted to help Romina, but she was very afraid of arguments.
She didn’t know how to talk back to them.
At that moment, her gaze unintentionally shifted to the side.
A familiar figure walked by not far away.
She recognized that uncle; he had interacted with her mother before, and they had met a few times.
Lina’s grip on Romina’s hand suddenly tightened.

Suddenly, she raised her voice and shouted at the figure, “Dad!”
The sudden shout drew the attention of many people, including Joaquin.
When he saw Romina holding Lina’s hand, his brows furrowed slightly.
Romina was also stunned by Lina’s shout.

In disbelief, she lowered her eyes to look at the child beside her, then looked up at Joaquin, who was approaching them.
Suddenly, she was a little confused…
Could it be that Lina knew Joaquin?
Scenes of Joaquin and Savannah meeting in prison suddenly flashed through Romina’s mind.
That day, Elliana had also come to visit Romina. The man hadn’t seen her, but as she passed by the visiting room, she had seen Joaquin.
If Savannah knew Joaquin, how could Lina not know him too?
When Jericho saw Joaquin walking towards them, a look of surprise flickered in his eyes.
Was that little girl just now calling Joaquin ‘Daddy“?
Joaquin still hasn’t gotten married, so where did this child come from?
Could she be an illegitimate daughter?
Countless questions swirled in Jericho’s mind, refusing to dissipate.
“What are you all doing?”

Joaquin naturally sensed that something was off, especially when he saw Lina’s aggrieved expression, his face instantly turned cold.
He fixed his gaze on Jericho’s face, his brows suddenly furrowing.
“Joaquin, when did you have such a grown–up daughter? I’ve never heard about this before.” Jericho looked at Joaquin in confusion, then pointed his chin in Romina’s direction. “And why is Romina the one bringing your daughter to school?”
Romina tightened her grip on the child’s hand.
She never expected Lina to suddenly call Joaquin Daddy.‘
Just as she was worrying about what to do, the man spoke calmly. “Lina is indeed my daughter. Today is her first day at school, and I didn’t have time to bring her myself this morning, so I specifically asked Ms. Sandoval to help me.”
Daughter.
When those words reached her ears, Romina was momentarily stunned.
Clearly, this was just Joaquin’s excuse.
How could Lina possibly be his daughter!
“But today is Kash’s graduation ceremony. Not only is Romina not attending, she’s actually helping Mr. Bowman bring a child
Nadine stood in the middle, looking as if she wanted to stir up trouble.
