The Return of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife by Zara Gibbon

Chapter 878

Joanna smiled gently and did not stop her daughter.

Lilia could not help but be happy. “Mommy, can you help me make a gift?”

“Haha, what kind of gift are you going to make?”

Lilia tilted her head and thought for a few seconds. “Right, I plan to do handmade drawings. Then, I’ll draw a family

portrait. Daddy will definitely like it.”

Lilia had drawn the family portrait many times.

Whenever Lilia presented a portrait to Bruce, he would be overjoyed to see it. In addition, Bruce took the extra step

of hiring someone to frame the portraits and display them in his study and office.

This time, Lilia wanted to draw another one.

Since her youngest brother was born, Lilia had never drawn a family portrait. This time, Lilia could add her younger

brother.

“Okay! Mommy will help you!”.

Joanna asked the servants to bring over the watercolor pen, brush, and drawing paper.

Lilia picked a piece of pink-colored paper and began to draw the family portrait carefully.

Despite being only seven and a half years old, Lilia had shown a passion for drawing from a very young age. Bruce,

her father, was incredibly supportive of her artistic interests. He went to great lengths and even hired a renowned

painter to teach Lilia how to draw.

Hence, Lilia’s drawing skills were quite impressive, especially when it came to creating comics. She had a talent for

vividly portraying the characters’ characteristics. Each of her creations was entirely distinct from one another.

Looking at her daughter drawing seriously, Joanna couldn’t help but laugh.

Bruce loved his daughter to the core. He doted on his daughter in every way he could. Bruce would give Lilia

everything she wanted and more.

Lilia was done drawing the family portrait.

“Lilia, are you done?” Joanna wanted to take a look first.

Lilia covered the painting and said sweetly and mysteriously, “You can’t look at it yet.

“It’s still a little short. I need to design it as a whole. I’ll show it to Mommy after it’s all done.”

“Haha, okay.” Joanna respected her precious daughter very

much.

“Mommy, will you cut the paper for me?

“I need you to cut it all into little squares.”

Joanna looked at the thick stack of colored paper. “Wow, do we have to cut so many?”

“That’s right! I need to use them later.”

Joanna shrugged and smiled helplessly. “This is a huge project!”

Although Joanna said that, she still picked up the small scissors and carefully helped her daughter cut the paper.

After a while, the mother and daughter cut out a large stack of colored paper.

Lilia started folding the paper, making paper roses by hand.

Joanna helped out at the side. It was a rare opportunity for her to help her daughter do handicrafts.

After working for more than two hours, the drawing was finally done.

“Mommy, it’s done! I can show you now.”

As Lilia spoke, she handed over the drawing paper.

Joanna took it and looked at it.

On the pink drawing paper was a family of six standing under the blue sky and white clouds. All of them had excited

smiles on their faces.

The edges of the drawing paper were all hand-drawn frames, and the flowers blooming on the grass were cut and

pasted paper.

In addition, there was a bouquet of colorful and exquisite handmade paper flowers tied with colorful streamers.

It was obvious that Lilia had put in a lot of effort.

Lilia raised her chin proudly and said sweetly, “Mommy, do you think it looks good? Do you think Daddy will like it?”

Joanna admired it seriously and could not help but praise it, “Haha, it’s too beautiful. Baby, you are awesome.

Daddy will definitely like it.”

“Haha, that’s what I thought too.”

Joanna said sourly, “Ah, Mommy is really jealous of Daddy for having such a precious gift.”

Joanna was a little jealous of Bruce.

The three little kids were getting closer and closer to Bruce. They admired their daddy very much.

The children had never prepared a gift for Joanna so diligently.

“Mommy, do you like it? If you like it, I’ll give this painting to you.”

“I’ll draw another one for Daddy.”

Hearing this, Joanna instantly felt sweetness instead of jealousy. “Haha, I’m only joking with you.

“It’s already so late. Let’s get some rest!

“Okay, then I’ll personally prepare a gift for you on your birthday, Mommy.”

“That would be great.”

Lilia loved to do handicrafts the most. These handcrafted flowers were lifelike and very exquisite

Moreover, it was made by Lilia. It was far more meaningful than real flowers.

“It’s getting late. It’s time to sleep. Hurry up and put these away!” Joanna said and could not help but yawn.

“Got it, Mommy.” Lilia loved her drawing tools very much.

Every time she used it, Lilia would pack it up very carefully when she finished.

“You have to go to bed early today. You’ll be able to see Daddy tomorrow afternoon.”

“Yes, yes. Good night, Mommy.”

“Good night, baby.” Joanna kissed her daughter’s little face and yawned as she walked to her room.

Joanna was so tired that she could not take it anymore.

The next day.

One o’clock in the afternoon.

Lilia and Joanna were ready to leave for the airport to pick up Bruce.

“Mommy, I want to wear that pink dress and the white leather shoes.”

The servants smiled and changed Lilia’s clothes. They also tied her hair into two cute ponytails.

Lilia also wore an exquisite diamond headband from Dior.

Lilia was already very good-looking. When she dressed up, she was even more beautiful.

“Mommy, does this dress look good?”

“Yes, it’s really beautiful. Look at this little princess! You are so beautiful,” Joanna praised with a smile.

Joanna was wearing a white Chanel dress with a casual jacket. She also had exquisite makeup on, and her long hair

was casually fluffed over her shoulders.

Joanna was beautiful and elegant.

“Mommy is so beautiful too,” Lilia praised her sweetly.

“Let’s go! Let’s go!”

This was a six-star hotel. The hotel would also provide customed transportation for guests.

However, they needed to use more than one car.

Therefore, they especially went to the local car rental shop and rented two luxury cars.

They were a Rolls-Royce and a Mercedes-Benz MPV.

After leaving the hotel, Joanna, Lilia, and Tatiana got into the Rolls-Royce.

Darcy and Carson got into the Mercedes-Benz MPV behind them.

The two cars slowly drove towards the airport.

The journey wasn’t particularly long, spanning approximately 21 miles. If they encountered no traffic jams, they

could reach their destination in about half an hour.

Lilia hugged the handmade flowers and sat in the back seat. She smiled excitedly. “Wow, I’m so happy today.

“I really miss Daddy. I’ve been separated from Daddy for almost half a month.

“Mommy, do you miss Daddy?”

Joanna smiled gently. “Yes, I do!”

Bruce gave Joanna a headache when he was by her side every day.

However, if they were apart for too long, Joanna would inevitably miss him.

Lilia said with a look of prayer, “Haha, I hope Daddy and Mommy will never quarrel again. Our family will always be

happy together.”

“Daddy and Mommy won’t fight anymore,” Joanna comforted her daughter with a smile.

It was true that Bruce had numerous flaws, and he didn’t fit the conventional definition of a good man.

Bruce had serious male chauvinism, a bad temper, a sharp tongue, and a domineering and unreasonable way of

doing things.

Ordinary people couldn’t stand him.

Still, Bruce had many good points. The merits of Bruce could make up for the flaws he had.

Not long after they hit the road, two motorcycles chased each other on the road, almost crashing with the car

Joanna was in.

“Be careful!” Joanna shouted in fear.

The driver was also shocked and turned to another road. Then, he hurriedly stepped on the brakes.

There was a creaking sound.

The brakes seemed to have failed. No matter how hard the driver stepped on them, there was no reaction.

“It’s too dangerous! Did we encounter a racer?” Tatiana instantly became vigilant.

“It might be…”

The driver broke out in a cold sweat.

Two more motorcycles rushed over.

From the looks of it, the riders were deliberately provoking.

Joanna’s heart tightened. Afraid of getting into an accident, she quickly asked the driver to stop the car. “Stop the

car, quickly stop the car!”

The driver stepped on the brakes a few more times. Unfortunately, he could not slow down the car at all. “Mádam,

the brakes don’t seem to be working!”

“What?” Joanna instantly panicked.

The driver was so anxious that he was sweating profusely. He hurriedly turned around and approached the

roadside. He looked for obstacles by the roadside, trying to force the car to stop and turn off the engine.

“Ah!”

“Clang!” The car knocked over the stall on the side of the road.

The pedestrians were so frightened that they hurriedly dodged and cursed at the car.

“Do you even know how to drive? How could you drive toward the crowd? Are you blind?”

“Hurry up and call the police…”

“Ah, it’s coming again. The car probably malfunctioned! Dodge quickly.”

The pedestrians on the street fled in all directions.

“Ah! Mommy…” Lilia screamed and closed her eyes in fear.

The car was out of control. It kept bumping left and right, unable to be stopped.

“Quickly think of a way to stop the car. Don’t hit anyone.” Joanna was afraid of hitting innocent pedestrians.

“Madam, the car might have been tampered with…” The driver panicked. Not only did the brakes fail, but the

steering wheel also began to lose control.

The car accelerated and collided with several vendors in succession before plunging straight into the river by the

roadside.

“Mommy, I’m so scared.” Lilia trembled in fear.

Joanna couldn’t care less about her own safety. She hurriedly hugged her daughter’s head. “Don’t be afraid.

Mommy is here.”

Tatiana, who was seated in the front passenger seat, also broke out in a cold sweat.

Tatiana kept hitting the car window, trying to smash it open.

In the car behind, Darcy and Carson panicked when they saw what happened before them. “What happened to the

car in front?”

“I think it’s out of control.”

“Quick, go intercept them. Sit tight.”

“Buzz!” The Mercedes-Benz MPV quickly passed through the traffic, wanting to stop the car Joanna and the others

were in.

The Rolls-Royce crashed into the waist of the Mercedes-Benz.

The powerful impact caused the two cars to lose control.

The Rolls-Royce was like a bulldozer, pushing the Mercedes-Benz dozens of feet away.

Fortunately, the Mercedes-Benz made a successful interception, so Rolls-Royce did not rush down the riverbank.

“Bang…” The car window shattered.

The car spun a few times in the air before crashing heavily to the ground.

“Mommy.”

Joanna couldn’t care less about her own safety. At the last moment, she unbuckled her seatbelt and protected her

daughter with her own body. “Lilia.”

“Ah…” The broken glass hit Joanna’s back. Joanna was instantly bleeding.

The car had been tampered with, and the airbag did not work.

The driver died on the spot, and Tatiana instantly lost consciousness.

“There’s been an accident. Hurry up and go to the rescue.”
