The Return of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife by Zara Gibbon

Chapter 665

Lola’s heart was stirred again, and she looked at Evan with some anxiety. “Evan, are you being truthful? You’re not

deceiving me, right?” she asked.

Evan quickly embraced her and solemnly swore, “How could I deceive you? I swear, only if you can handle Liam will

I have a child with you. Once we have the money, I’ll take you and our child to settle abroad!”.

Lola’s eyes flickered upon hearing his words. “Really?” she inquired.

“Of course, it’s true. If I lie to you, may lightning strike me dead…” Evan swore earnestly.

Lola hurriedly covered his mouth and coquettishly said, “Alright, stop talking. I trust you! Don’t worry. I’ll take care

of things with Liam.”

Evan’s heart leaped with joy at her words, and he replied, “Good girl, then let’s continue making a baby…”

Another passionate session followed their conversation.

At the Sherane Bay Villa, Joanna had been lying on the bed for a whole day, and her limbs were almost stiff. She

wanted to get up and walk around, but the doctor had instructed her not to. As such, she had obediently complied.

Two servants had to accompany and support her even when she used the bathroom. After that, she had to return

to the bed immediately.

Despite lying down, she could not find peace of mind as many matters in the company still required her attention.

Although most tasks could be delegated to the vice president or assistants, critical contracts, legal matters, and

financial issues could not be trusted by anyone else. Only the highest executive of the group had the authority to

sign them. As the president, she could not decline.

Seeing Joanna looking restless, Miranda knew she could not lie still and quickly tried to persuade her, “Joanna, the

doctor said you cannot exert yourself anymore. You should lie down and rest. Let the work be put on hold, or

delegate it to someone else.”

Joanna furrowed her brows as she replied, “No, I can’t! Some of the contracts are crucial. I can’t afford any

mistakes. I have to resolve them as soon as possible.”

After saying that, Joanna called Andy and had him bring the contracts to her home.

She also had her assistant bring the laptop to the bed, and then she worked while lying down.

Bruce had been obediently sitting on the side, looking pitifully at her. “Darling, don’t ignore me. I’m bored and want

to talk to you,” he pleaded.

Joanna gently glanced at him, “I need to work for a bit. Can you go out for a while? Once I finish, I’ll chat with you,

alright?” she requested.

“No, I don’t want to leave your side!” Bruce whined stubbornly.

“Sweetie, Davian and Irvin will be back from school soon. How about you play with them for a while?” she

proposed. Upon hearing this, Bruce’s mouth curled up in delight as he said, “Darling, don’t chase me away! I’ll stay

by your side! I promise not to cause any trouble.”

Bruce obediently propped his chin with his hands as he spoke, gazing at her.

Joanna sighed and had no choice but to agree. She then opened her laptop to start working.

Bruce stood by her side like a quiet and well-behaved kitten. His once sharp and cunning eyes no longer displayed

any trace of wickedness, and they now emitted an innocent and harmless radiance.

Twenty minutes later, joyful voices could be heard outside the bedroom,

“Mommy, Daddy, we’re back from school,” Davian and Irvin exclaimed as they opened the bedroom door.

“Sweeties, why did you finish school so early today? Where’s Lilia?” she inquired.

The children explained, “We finished school early today, but Lilia’s school probably finishes later.”

Seeing the children, Bruce grinned foolishly.

He used to forbid these little rascals from entering his bedroom, but now, no one stopped them, and they could

freely come and go in every room.

“Pavian, Irvin,” Joanna asked, “can you guys play with Daddy for a while? Mommy needs to handle some work right

now.” The two little ones nodded eagerly. “Sure! Sure! We’ll play with Daddy. Does that mean we don’t have to do

our homework?” they asked.

“How can

that be? You have to do your homework first,” Joanna replied.

She playfully looked at Bruce, intentionally adopting a pleading tone. “Bruce, can you do me a favor?” she said, her

eyes hopeful.

Bruce felt a sense of accomplishment being needed by his wife and nodded enthusiastically. “Of course!” he

exclaimed.

“Then, can you please watch the children do their homework? If they don’t want to do it properly, you can give

them a lesson,” Joanna said.

“Sure!” Bruce replied as he nodded heavily, his face filled with a sense of responsibility.

The two little ones were no longer composed. They were most afraid of their father. Even though their father’s

mind was now somewhat simple, in the hearts of these children, he was still the lion king of the family.

“Hurry up and start doing your homework. Only after finishing it can you do other things,” Joanna instructed.

“Oh… alright,” the two little ones sighed and had no choice but to start doing their homework.

Bruce had a serious look on his face as he followed behind them.

Back in the children’s room, the two little ones took their books from their school bags and began doing their

homework on the table.

“Hurry up and do your homework. If you don’t do it, you’ll get spanked…”

In the past, their dad never had time to watch them do their homework.

But now, with their dad sitting behind them, the two little ones felt immense pressure. They feared that their dad’s

hand would come down on them with one careless mistake.

Although their dad had never actually hit them, they couldn’t help feeling scared, thinking that he might be very

strict.

However, they were only in the first grade, and their homework was not much.

So, in less than half an hou

they finished their assignments.

“Daddy, we’re done with our homework. Please check it,” the children said.

Bruce received the children’s exercise books with a somewhat bewildered expression and carefully checked their

work.

Although he didn’t complete college and dropped out in his sophomore year to return home to inherit the Everett

Group, it didn’t mean he lacked education. Practical experience was always more valuable than theory. Besides, he

was surrounded by world elites, so his knowledge became extensive over time.

“Well, you did a good job with your homework. Well done,” Bruce praised, acting with a sense of importance as he

checked their assignments.

“Daddy, can we play with building blocks together?” the children asked.

Bruce shook his head, “No, I want to go and accompany your mom…”

里

“Mommy is working and doesn’t want us to disturb her. Building blocks is fun, and we can build a castle together.

We need Daddy’s help,” the children pleaded.

“Alright then!” Bruce agreed.

“Let’s go!” The children cheered as they pulled their dad along and ran towards the toy room on the side of the

living room.

“Alright!” Bruce replied as he followed the children somewhat reluctantly.

Soon, Davian and Irvin, with their dad, headed to the toy room beside the living room.

There, various toys and a variety of large building blocks were piled up!
