“It’s been a long time since I last smoked. Well, I suddenly felt like having one.”

Joanna rolled her eyes at him. “Look at you. You always go back on your word. You agreed to quit smoking, but here

you are secretly smoking behind my back.”

“Alright, honey, I won’t smoke again.”

“Darling…” She looked at him with a hint of sadness as she sat on his lap..

“What’s wrong?” He gently picked up a strand of her hair, twirling it around his fingers.

“Sigh, are you really leaving tomorrow morning?”

“Silly, how many times have you asked that already? Are you so reluctant to part with your husband?”

“Sigh!” She let out another sigh while her gaze was filled with distress. “I’ve been feeling uneasy all this time. You

know, something just doesn’t feel right, especially with Devin crying so much for no reason. It doesn’t seem

auspicious, does it? Why don’t you reconsider going to Melta?”

He could not help but laugh, “Haha, you’re overthinking things.”

“It’s not just that! It has been very chaotic in Melta lately, and many people there have been attacked.”

“Don’t worry, I won’t be going to the slums. Besides, I’ll be taking Darcy and the others with me. Everything will be

fine,” he said, trying his best to reassure her.

However, she still felt uneasy. “How about… you go there a little later?” “No, I can’t delay it any longer.”

She fell silent, staring at him with wide eyes, as if pondering something.

They gazed at each other for a while.

After a long while.

He looked away, pulling her into his embrace. “Don’t worry! Your husband is a top talent, right? Nothing could stand

in his way. I promise you, once everything is taken care of, I’ll return immediately.”

“Bruce, are you hiding something from me?” she asked softly all of a sudden.

She always felt like he had some secrets.

In the past, she used to think it was just money that made things easy for him.

With his wealth, of course, he could handle anything much easier than others.

There was a saying.

Money was not everything, but without money many things would become impossible. In other words, money can

solve significant problems.

However,

Now, she suddenly felt that money was not the only factor at play.

For sahiple, Bruce, a man with a bad temper, had nearly offended all the dignitaries in

ver the years, he stood tall. The strangest thing was when they sought help from the

by in Sanni Cradl

The embassy gave them exceptional attention.

If he were just an ordinary wealthy person, he would not have been so fortunate on every

occasion.

Bruce shifted his gaze to the side. “Haha, why do you ask?

I always feel like you’ve been hiding a lot of things. But I can’t say exactly what it is. Anyway, it doesn’t feel like

something good. Well, are you keeping a mistress in Melta?” “You’re overthinking, silly. Why do you always think too

much?” he said with a mysterious

smile.

His true identity was something he could never reveal to anyone except for those within the organization.

In other words, even the people closest to him could not find out.

One of his former colleagues, a special agent, had been married to his wife for over 30 years, and she remained

unaware of his true identity until after his passing.

Bruce had decided to keep this secret forever hidden.

“Don’t overthink things. If I had a mistress, I wouldn’t be able to spend so much time with you, would I?*

Joanna smiled affectionately. She was just joking around, after all.

“Are you sure you’re not lying to me?”

“Positive!”

“You swear?”

“Alright, I swear. If I lied to you, may I…”

Hearing this, she hurriedly covered his mouth.

“Never mind. You better not make any oaths. You know, you are a jinx. God knows what inauspicious words you

might say.”

“Haha, since I have to leave early tomorrow morning, let’s cherish our time together tonight…

As he spoke, he carried her toward the bed.

The next day.

At five o’clock in the morning, Bruce had already woken up.

Of course!

He had been active all night, barely getting any sleep.

After all, he could catch up on rest during the long flight, which would last for more than Ten hours

Honey, why did you wake up so early?” Joanna, too, had barely slept the entire night, feeling exhausted and sleepy.

Regardless, she was trying her best to stay awake.

Silly girl you should go back to sleep!

No: I want to see you off at the airport.

Area | you tired? You don’t have to come; die driver can drop me off.”

Want to go in person. Despite feeling sore she quickly got out of bed

“You’ll be gone for such a long time. Just thinking about not seeing you for so long makes me feel uneasy…

As she spoke, tears suddenly streamed down her face.
