The Return of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife by Zara Gibbon

Chapter 436

This bastard actually took advantage of her ethically.

Moreover, her father had only passed away less than two months ago, and she was still immersed in sorrow.

Looking at Joanna’s reddened eyes, Bruce realized that his joke had gone too far.

His heart skipped a beat and he quickly changed the topic. “I was just joking with you!”

Joanna did not find it funny at all. “Bruce, do you think this joke is funny?”

“I was really joking with you. Okay. You can go to the wedding.” Bruce quickly tried to make up for the situation.

Joanna felt a lump in her throat. Her eyes could not help but turn red.

She knew her father had never loved her.

But before her father died, she at least had a family. Now, both of her parents were gone.

Bruce felt very guilty in his heart. He pursed his lips and said, “I’m sorry!”

Arrogant as he was, it was rare for him to apologize.

Joanna closed her eyes. She didn’t want any more arguments.

Bruce apologized to her by himself! She shouldn’t expect more. Otherwise, she would be more disappointed.

That night, Bruce tried his best to please her. He was much more gentle and considerate in bed.

The next day.

Joanna got up early in the morning and prepared to send the children to school. Although she did not have to do it

herself, she wanted to spend as much time with the children as possible.

“Put your things on. I will send you to the car.” She only needed to send the children to the garage.

“Davian doesn’t go to school. Can I stay at home too?” Seeing that Davian had taken a leave from school, Irvin

refused to go to kindergarten as well.

Joanna’s expression turned serious. “Davian’s arm was broken so he had to stay at home. You have no reason not

to go to school.”

Irvin pouted again. “Can I take leave too? Mommy, I don’t want to go to kindergarten.”

“You have to go to school. Be a good boy.”

“Mommy, just one day off. Irvin tried to wheedle.

While he was making a fuss and refusing to go to school, Bruce came downstairs.

“Daddy’s coming down!”

Bruce pulled a long face and looked down at Irvin. “What are you doing?”

Upon seeing Bruce, Irvin instantly became obedient. “No, nothing! Good morning, Daddy!”

“It’s time for kindergarten. Don’t be late!”

“Oh, okay, I got it, Daddy.” Irvin picked up his bag and ran away as if he was on steroids.

He knew how terrifying Bruce was when he got angry. Just thinking of it made him feel scared.

Joanna was dumbfounded.

She didn’t know what to say.

She tried to persuade Irvin but in vain. However, Bruce persuaded him within just one sentence.

“Joanna, I’m going back to the office.”

“Aren’t you going to have breakfast?”

“I’ll have it at the company!”

“Okay!”

Bruce put on his suit and stole a glance at Joanna’s expression. Although he had tried his best to please her last

night, he still felt a little uneasy. “Don’t be angry anymore.”

Joanna pouted. “I am not. Just leave!”

“Then give me a kiss.”

Chapter 436

Joanna raised her head slightly. Bruce lowered his head and kissed her. “Alright! See you.”

After Bruce left, Joanna helped Davian have breakfast.

Roxanne only dared to come in after seeing Bruce’s car leave.

“Rory!”

“Good morning. Joanna!”

“Sit down. Have breakfast with us!”

“It’s okay. I’ve had it with the servants.”

When Joanna heard this, she felt a little bit sorry for Roxanne. She poured her a glass of fruit juice, “Have a try. It’s

freshly made cherry juice.”

Roxanne took the juice and sat down at the dining table. “Joanna, how long has it been since you went to the

company?”

“I haven’t been there in a while. Why?”

Roxanne rolled her eyes. “Nothing. I was just asking.

“I was thinking I should find a job, but I don’t know what I can do yet. After saying that, Roxanne deliberately

revealed a trace of worry.

“Looking for a job?” Joanna looked at Roxanne in disbelief.

Ever since graduation. Roxanne had been working hard to marry into a rich family. She had not worked a single day.

Why did she suddenly want to find a job?

“Yup. Dad is gone now. I have to support myself. I don’t want to be your burden forever.

“So I want to find a job before I am old so as to support myself and to kill the boredom.”

When Joanna heard this, she agreed. “That’s nice. So have you thought of what to do?”

“Nope yet. But I guess I’d better do financial management. You know, that was my major in college.”

When Joanna heard this, she subconsciously frowned.

It wasn’t easy to find a job in this field.

Although Roxanne graduated from a prestigious university, she had no working experience, which financial

management required.

Moreover, she would have to start from the basics. The higher–ups were all elites who had been v time!

“Joanna, is it hard to find such a job?

“I can start from the basics, Roxanne said as she stared at Joanna.

who had worked for a long

Actually, the purpose of her words was equivalent to telling Joanna that she wanted to work at the Everett Group.

She hoped that Joanna would persuade Bruce as she knew once Joanna brought it up, Bruce wouldn’t say no.

“Hmm, I’ll see if I can help you.” Joanna looked at Roxanne thoughtfully.

When Roxanne heard this, she was instantly delighted. “Thank you, Joanna.”

“You’re welcome. Have some juice!”

“Okay!” Roxanne picked up the juice and took a sip.

Davian watched coldly from the dining table. He did not like Roxanne at all.

After drinking the fruit juice, Roxanne took the initiative to help the servants clean up the cutlery.

Davian looked at Joanna with a serious expression. “Mommy, I need to talk to you.”

“Yes? What do you want to say? Tell me.”

“Mommy, aren’t you afraid she will do bad things?”

Joanna was stunned. She looked at her son in confusion. “What do you mean?”

“Mommy, have you heard the story of the farmer and the snake?”

Joanna was even more confused. “Yup. But why are you suddenly asking this?”

“Hmph! I don’t like Roxanne,” Davian said coldly.

“She is your aunt. Have some respect.”

Davian continued with a serious expression, “Mommy, I feel that she’s using you.

“Hmph, I feel that she still has feelings for Daddy! She might even want to be our stepmother.”

Joanna smiled gently. “Davian, you’re thinking too much!”

“I’m not thinking too much. Daddy… is an outstanding man no matter what! It’s normal for women to like him.

Especially at scheming woman like her.” Davian said with a straight face.

Joanna couldn’t help but laugh when she heard that. She rubbed her son’s head and said, “My baby boy, don’t

worry about us. I promise it will be alright.

“You just need to take care of yourself. Don’t forget to take your medicine later!”

Seeing that his mother did not take him seriously at all, Davian looked at Joanna with a more serious expression.

“Mommy, are you really not worried that she will snatch Daddy away? She was Daddy’s ex–girlfriend!”

“Heh…” Joanna laughed helplessly, but her heart was filled with bitterness.

She was with Bruce because they had signed a two–year contract.

She would leave Bruce two years later. And who he would be with after that had nothing to do with her.

However, the children did not know about the contract. They thought that they had really gotten back together, so

the three little fellows were very happy for them.

“Alright. I get what you’re worried about. I will be careful.”

“Yes, Mommy. You have to be very careful. You must leave her no chance to get in between you and Daddy. We

don’t want a stepmother, especially not a vicious one like her.”

“Hehe!” Joanna smiled. However, deep inside, she felt a bit upset.

She didn’t know how was she going to tell the children the truth.

She did not know if they would accept it two years later.

In the blink of an eye, a day had passed.

At around six in the evening, Bruce returned.

While eating, Joanna mentioned that Roxanne was looking for a job. “Bruce, Roxy is looking for a job.”

“What trick is she playing time?” Bruce’s face turned cold as he asked without raising his head.

“Tricks? She just wants to make a living.”

Bruce put down his tableware and raised his eyebrows at Joanna. “So?”

“Anyway, why don’t you arrange a job for her?”

Upon hearing this request, Bruce could not help but pout in displeasure.

Roxanne just wanted to marry into a rich family. How could she focus on work?

Even if she wanted to work hard, he would never let such a person be

“Can you help with it?” Joanna asked again.
