The Return of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife by Zara Gibbon

Chapter 1086

“Alright. It’s all up to you. I’ll do whatever you say,” Bruce said. He agreed with a gentle expression. “Okay. It’s

decided then. The two of us will go to Melta first. After we find the school, we’ll bring the children over.”

“Alright. I’ll go along with your plan,” Bruce said. He could not help but stretch out his arm to hug Joanna. Joanna

frowned. “Stop fooling around. Hurry up and sleep. It’s almost two o’clock.”

Bruce frowned when he heard that.

“Honey, we’ve been apart for so long. Why are you so…”

“I’ll tell you the truth.” Joanna’s eyes flickered.

“Yes. Go ahead. I’m listening.”

Joanna pursed her lips and lied, “I’ve been experiencing some gynecological discomfort lately, and the doctor said I

need to take good care of myself.

“Therefore, we can’t sleep together for the time being. I hope you can respect me and endure it for a while.”

When Bruce heard this, he immediately looked nervous. “Really? Where are you feeling unwell? “I’ll take you to the

hospital tomorrow.”

Joanna’s eyes darkened. “I’ve already seen a doctor, and he said it’s due to insufficient postpartum care. I have

energy deficiency and blood deficiency, as well as some chronic inflammations.

“I’m currently undergoing treatment, but it might take some time to fully recover.”

“I’m sorry to hear that. It’s been hard on you, honey.” Bruce’s handsome face showed a trace of concern.

“It’s nothing. Go to bed early,” Joanna replied calmly.

Bruce did not say much. He just gently wrapped his arms around her waist.

Joanna closed her eyes, but she could not fall asleep.

As soon as she closed her eyes, she couldn’t help but recall the nightmares of that monster.

In her dream, the monster was fierce and pitiful. It was full of anxiety and restlessness.

It was like a trapped beast in a cage. It tried its best to break out of the cage, but it could not.

Although Joanna was afraid of that abnormally ferocious monster, she could not help but sympathize with it. Every

time she woke up, she could not help but cry.

The next day arrived.

“What? You’re not letting us go to Melta?” Irvin looked at Joanna in shock.

Joanna nodded. “Yes. Your daddy and I have already decided to let you stay at home for the time being.

“Your daddy and I will go over first. I’ll pick you up after I find a school for you.”

When Davian heard this, he also looked depressed. “Huh? Why did you change your mind again?”

“I don’t care. I’m going with you this time.” Irvin pouted and protested.

It was not that he wanted to study at Melta, but he wanted to go and have fun.

Kids were always eager for excitement.

They couldn’t stand being away from adults and always wanted to follow them. No matter where the adults went,

they liked to follow them and join in the fun.

Joanna’s face darkened as she patiently coaxed her son. She said, “Be good and stay at home. Don’t follow us.

There are too many people. It’s inconvenient…”

When Irvin heard this, his face was filled with disdain. “Well, I know. You and Daddy must have wanted to secretly

go and have fun. You deliberately left us at home so that we wouldn’t disturb the two of you.” Joanna frowned.

“Irvin, how can you say that?”

“I don’t care. Anyway, I hardly get long vacations. I have to go. Besides, I’ve already packed my luggage.”

Davian added, “Yeah. I want to go too. I haven’t been to Melta in a long time.

“I want to go over and have fun too. Mommy, didn’t you ask us to study there? We can go over and take a look at

the school’s environment.”

“No,” Joanna replied. She refused decisively.

Her claim of going to Melta to look for a school was just an excuse.

The children were still too young. Even if they were to study abroad, it would be best to wait until they were in

middle school.

Besides, if they were to go abroad, it would be to Antlen, not Melta.

When Bruce was young, he attended the Royal Academy in Antlen. Joanna intended to send their children to

Bruce’s school.

Now, she went to Melta just to find Aria and see where Aria had gotten Bruce.

Irvin shook his body and made a scene. “Mommy, my dear mommy, just let us go!

“Mommy, you might as well not have agreed to let us go in the first place. At first, we didn’t want to go, but you

insisted.

“Now that we want to go, we’re not allowed to go. How can that be?”

Bruce couldn’t take it anymore and began to persuade Joanna. He said, “Honey, since the kids want to go so badly,

just let them go together.

“It’s just a matter of bringing a few more servants along. What’s the trouble?”

Hearing that, Joanna felt a headache coming on.

She didn’t know how this trip to Melta would turn out.

Especially since Aria was involved in this.

Aria was not an ordinary woman. If she really forcibly detained Bruce, there would definitely be a fight. This time,

Joanna was going to fight it out with Aria. If Aria didn’t return Bruce, Joanna was prepared to

all out against her.

go

Taking the children along now was really inconvenient.

“No. You won’t go no matter what. Stay at home obediently.

“Don’t worry. There are plenty of opportunities to travel. When you’re 18 years old, even if you travel the world, I

won’t care about you.

“But not now. You have to be obedient.”

When Irvin heard this, he was so angry that he cried. He shouted, “Mommy, I don’t care. I don’t care. I have to go. I

have to go!

“If you don’t let me go, don’t even think about going.”

Joanna was angry and annoyed. She didn’t have the patience to coax him.

She raised her hand and slapped Irvin twice.

Irvin refused to listen and became more and more mischievous.

“Mommy…” Irvin was stunned. He looked at Joanna with a rebellious expression.

This was the first time he had ever been hit.

Joanna rarely hit children. She almost never hit children. Only Davian was beaten once when he made mistake. She

had never hit the others before.

But now, Joanna was anxious and annoyed. She really couldn’t help but want to punish Irvin.

“Stay at home obediently. I will hit anyone who disobeys.”

“Well. Mommy doesn’t love me anymore,” Irvin cried and ran away.

After all, he had never been hit before. Now that he was hit once, he really couldn’t take it anymore.

Davian was rather obedient. Although he was dissatisfied, he still accepted this fact. “Mommy, don’t be angry. Irvin

just wanted to go and have fun.

“If you don’t want us to go over, we’ll just stay at home.”

2/3

Tears welled up in Joanna’s eyes as she sighed deeply. Then she said, “Davian, go and see Irvin and coax him.”

“Got it, Mommy.”

“Your daddy and I might be gone for a while. You are the oldest and most sensible in the house. You have to take

good care of your younger siblings.”

“Okay. Mommy, don’t worry.”

“Good boy.” Joanna’s eyes turned even redder. She squatted down and touched Davian’s cute face.

“Then I’ll go and comfort Irvin now. And I’ll stop him from throwing a tantrum.”

“Sweetie, go ahead then,” Joanna replied and then sighed again.

Davian did not say anything else. He turned around and ran to look for Irvin.

Lilia watched from the side and shrugged silently.

From the beginning, she had no intention of going. Hence, she was not upset when the plan had been changed.

“Lilia, your daddy and I won’t be home, so you must listen to the trainer and follow the training properly. Don’t be

lazy, but also don’t push yourself too hard,” Joanna said with concern.

Lilia nodded obediently. “Okay. I understand, Mommy. When you come back, I might be able to run.” “Haha.”

Joanna forced a smile.

The most obedient child in the family was Lilia, and the most mischievous child was Irvin.

“Mommy, how long will you be gone for? When will you be back?”

“Well, I can’t say for now. I’ll call you when I get there,” Joanna said.

“Fine.”

Joanna thought for a moment and said worriedly, “Your little brother will be at home too. As his big sister, take good

care of him. He’s still too young and doesn’t understand much.”

Lilia smiled sweetly. “Mommy, don’t worry. I’ll take good care of him.”

“Alright then.” Joanna lowered her head and held back her tears.

“Honey, don’t be sad. We’re just going to check out the school. If it doesn’t work out, we’ll have them study in

Greyport.

“There’s no need to be in such a hurry to send them overseas. It won’t be too late to send them overseas when

they’re in middle school.”

“No. We need to find a good school now.”
