The Return of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife by Zara Gibbon

Chapter 104

The call was from Roxanne. Bruce put the phone back into his pocket.

He had already made up his mind to cut off all ties with Roxanne.

From the beginning, there was a misunderstanding between him and Roxanne. Now, there was even

less of a need to prolong the misunderstanding.

Beep, beep, beep!·

The phone kept vibrating!

“Mr. Everett, you are so busy,” Joanna said, sneering without even lifting her head. “You’d better hurry

back to do your own things!”

Bruce said, “You are in such a hurry to drive me away, huh?

“After I leave, you’ll be able to seduce other men, right?”

Joanna rolled her eyes and said irritably, “Bruce, I really have no idea what you’re thinking.

“Didn’t we agree to have nothing to do with each other after the divorce? You’re already engaged. You

should be spending time with your fiancée.”

The two years of marriage had caused her so much pain that she would never forgive him for the rest

of her life.

It had not been easy for her to finally move on from the emotional pain that she experienced during her

relationship with Bruce. Hence, there was no turning back for her.

Joanna, whether or not I have a fiancée, it doesn’t prevent me from being with you,” Bruce said.

“Are you saying that you can date other women, but I can’t date other men?” Joanna said.

Bruce raised his eyebrows slightly and said, “You can interpret it that way.”

“Hmph, what a unique way of thinking!” Joanna said. “What makes you think I’ll agree to it?”

“It doesn’t matter if you agree or not!” Bruce said. “If you don’t, I have plenty of ways to make you

agree!”

“Bruce, don’t you think it’s low and boring of you to do this?” Joanna said.

“I don’t think so!” Bruce said.

No matter what, Bruce would do whatever it took to get what he wanted. He was determined to achieve

his goals, even if it meant resorting to unscrupulous means.

Perhaps it was his sense of superiority since childhood that made his personality paranoid and spoiled.

Sometimes, even when he liked something very much, he would deny it in his heart over and over

again.

Joanna shook her head speechlessly. She then continued to look down at her computer.

Bruce stood up and slowly walked toward her, saying, “Joanna, there is still a chance for us to continue

our relationship.”

As Bruce spoke, he fell into a moment of contemplation. Then, he said, “I don’t even mind you having

children with another man, so why are you still putting on airs?”

When Joanna heard this, she almost laughed out of anger. “Are you saying that I should be deeply

grateful for your

tolerance?” she said.

“Shouldn’t you?” Bruce said.

“Bruce, aren’t you too narcissistic?” Joanna said. “Do you think that all the wori in Greyport love you

and like you?”

“Isn’t that the case?” Bruce said. He had always been very confident about his charm.

He was Greyport’s richest man, and he was so handsome and so young! Shouldn’t women like him?

Joanna choked. She was extremely angry.

“Mr. Everell, you seem to be overly confident,” Joanna said. “I suggest you buy a mirror and take a

good look at yourself!”

“There’s no need to check,” Bruce said. “No man is as handsome as me in Greyport! So, if I’m

interested in you, you should feel extremely honored!”

Joanna was left speechless. She felt uncomfortable after listening to what was said.

This was the first time she realized that Bruce was so shameless. He was simply a narcissist!

At first, her first impression of him was that he was steady and wise, exuding a cool and noble

demeanor of a scion.

His demeanor immediately captivated her, back when she was still a young girl.

Now, it seemed that it was really an illusion. In the entire Greyport, there was no man who was more

shameless than him.

Bruce adjusted his tie slightly and walked toward her with a wicked smile.

“Don’t come over,” Joanna said. “If you want to say something, just sit there and say it!”

Upon seeing Bruce approaching her, Joanna unconsciously felt nervous.

Yesterday’s frightening experience had left her still feeling uneasy and unable to fully recover her

composure.

“Why?” Bruce said. “Do you hate me so much now?”

Joanna’s eyes flickered for a moment. She did not dare to answer “yes“.

She really hated him now!

She hated his bossiness, his desire to control, and his ruthlessness.

“Bruce, I’m begging you!” Joanna said. “Can you please not be like this? Your behavior is putting a lot

of pressure on me.”

Upon hearing that, a trace of guilt flashed across Bruce’s eyes.

Up to now, he had to admit that he really liked her. Or perhaps he had always liked her, but he was

unwilling to admit it.

In the past, he stubbornly wanted to repay a debt of gratitude. He had been forcing himself to like

Roxanne. Coupled with the misunderstanding with Joanna, he had tortured and humiliated her in every

way possible.

Presently, he had let go of his inner turmoil and finally realized how much he truly loved her.

Beep, beep, beep!

Bruce’s phone vibrated frenziedly again.

If someone had the audacity to call him like this and he did not answer, it could only be Roxanne at the

other end of the line.

Joanna paused and looked at Bruce with a solemn expression. “Bruce, you’ve already hurt me,”

Joanna said. “Don’t hurt Roxanne again.”

Bruce was left speechless. He was stunned.

Joanna said. “In the past, you insisted on divorcing me because you wanted to give Roxanne the title of

being your wife.

“Now that you’re engaged to Roxanne, you still want to get involved in a comply ated relationship with

me! Is it okay to be so

fickle?”

Bruce frowned when he heard that. He said, “Joanna, it was a misunderstanding right from the start.

“I made a mistake. The woman I should have loved is actually you.”

Ten years ago, he mistakenly thought that Roxanne had saved him, so he developed feelings for her.

But now, he knew that the person who had truly saved him was Joanna.

If he had known back then that it was Joanna who saved him, he would never have ended up with

Roxanne.

Joanna looked at Bruce with an incredulous expression after hearing this.

Now, no matter what he said, she would not believe him.

“Bruce, you’re really funny!” Joanna said. “How can there be right or wrong when it comes to matters of

the heart?”

Bruce took a deep breath in shock.

He knew that repaying the debt of gratitude to someone that saved him with romantic love might sound

old–fashioned, but that was exactly what he had thought at that time.

He was the only child of the Everett family. If he died, his grandmother would be very sad. Therefore,

not only had his savior saved him, but also his grandmother and the Everett family.

As a result, he thought offering his love to his savior was the right thing to do.

“What happened between me and Roxanne was a misunderstanding,” Bruce said. “Roxanne was the

one who took away everything that was originally meant for you…”

“What you’re saying is very strange,” Joanna said. “I don’t know what you’re talking about! What

happened between you and Roxanne was a misunderstanding. What happened between you and me

was a misunderstanding.

“Can you not use misunderstanding as an excuse?” Joanna could not help but mock.

She did not know that it was actually Roxanne who replaced her and pretended to be Bruce’s savior.

She also did not know that Bruce would have so much emotional turmoil because of this incident.

“Joanna, there really was a misunderstanding between us,” Bruce said. “Please give me some time,

now that this misunderstanding has been cleared up. I will make you fall in love with me again.

Without waiting for Bruce to finish, Joanna interrupted him. “There is no misunderstanding,” she said.

“And I don’t want to know what misunderstanding it is.

“I just want to live a peaceful life. Please don’t disturb my life anymore!”

“Joanna…”

“Please stop talking,” Joanna said. “Stay away from me, okay?”
