The Return of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife by Zara Gibbon

Chapter 445

Anxious and resentful voices came from the other end of the phone. “The Green Bay project is about to be

implemented. We are running out of time. You have to find the evidence of his bribery as soon as possible.

“Otherwise, it won’t be so easy to take him down after the project is completely implemented.”

Roxanne’s heart tightened. “Don’t worry! I’ll settle it as soon as possible!”

“Don’t disappoint me again. Otherwise, I’ll teach you a lesson.” With that, the other person hung up.

After hanging up!

Roxanne was also very annoyed. She had successfully entered the Everett family now.

However, Bruce did not give her any chance to approach him.

She could not catch any traces of Bruce’s crimes.

Moreover, there were surveillance cameras everywhere in the house. It was almost impossible for her to play any

tricks.

“Why didn’t the eavesdropping device in the study capture any useful information? It’s been so many days”

Roxanne hammered the pillow a few times.

The Everett Group was in the process of planning an investment in a real estate project located in Green Bay,

Porash. The project aimed to develop the largest sea–view villa community in Porash.

At the same time, an amusement park comparable to Disneyland would be built nearby, called Dreamland.

Recently, Bruce had been occupied with handling various contracts and obtaining necessary approvals for the

project. Given the scale of the project, it was inevitable to establish connections and cultivate relationships with

political figures and local partners.

In the business world, there were many unspoken rules when it came to building relationships. No one could stay

out of

trouble.

Bruce was no exception!

His fight with Joanna during this period of time had disturbed him greatly.

In the next few days, Bruce put all his energy into work.

He came back late every day.

Joanna focused on taking care of the children every day, having no intention of making peace.

In the evening, at the restaurant!

The servants prepared dinner. Joanna asked Davian and Irvin to cat.

Irvin looked at the table full of dishes and muttered, “Mommy, Daddy hasn’t eaten with us for a few days. Aren’t we

waiting for Daddy today?”

When Joanna heard this, her expression turned stiff. “Don’t wait for Daddy. I don’t know what time Daddy will get off

work. Let’s hurry up and eat. After eating, go to bed early.”

“Oh…” Davian and Irvin picked up their bowls and ate silently.

At the dining table, the atmosphere was also very oppressive. Joanna did not speak, and Lilia and Bruce were not

around. They felt that the food was no longer tasty.

In the past, the family of five ate together. Although Daddy loved to scold them, he got used to it.

Now, he was not used to not being able to hear his daddy’s scolding!

After the children finished eating, Bruce finally returned.

“Daddy, are you off work?”

“Yup!” Bruce replied coldly.

“Have you eaten?”

“Yup.”

With that, Bruce went straight into the study with a gloomy expression!

Ten o’clock at night!

The two little guys stood under the covers, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.

“Davin, did Daddy and Mommy have a conflict again?”

Chapter 445

Davian sighed faintly. “Sigh, it’s obvious. Look at Daddy’s face.”

Irvin got up and said worriedly. “Then what should we do? Daddy and Mommy won’t be separated again, right?”

Davian frowned when he heard that.

“If Daddy and Mommy are separated, we’ll have single–parent again.”

“Daddy is rude sometimes, but he’s quite qualified in other aspects. Davian, we have to think of a way to

matchmake Daddy and Mommy. We can’t let them be separated again!

“That bad woman Roxanne is eyeing Daddy covetously. If she snatches Daddy away, she would become our

stepmother.

“I don’t want that bad woman to be our stepmother!”

Davian also became worried. “Yes, we should think of a way to matchmake Daddy and Mommy!

“How are we going to do it? I think they’ve been in a cold war. They’re ignoring each other!”

“Then we’ll find a way to make them reconcile.”

Irvin tilted his head and asked worriedly, “What should we do?”

“Hmm, we have to think about it carefully!

“The main thing now is that Mommy is ignoring Daddy, not that Daddy is ignoring Mommy. So, we have to start with

Mommy first.

“As long as Mommy forgives Daddy, Daddy will definitely be fine.”

“But how should we coax Mommy?”

“Uh… Why don’t we apologize to Mommy in Daddy’s name and ask for Mommy’s forgiveness? As long as Mommy is

happy. everything will be finel”

“No way! Mommy hates Daddy the most. If an apology was useful, Daddy would have apologized long ago.”

“Then what do you think we should do?”

“I’m thinking about it!”

Davian and Irvin were worried sick for the sake of their daddy and mommy. They thought about it for the entire

night but could not think of a solution.

The next day.

The servants prepared breakfast. As usual, Joanna woke up early in the morning and called the children for

breakfast.

Although she did not have to do everything herself, she still wanted to take care of the children as much as she

could as a

mother.

“Davian, Irvin, hurry and come over for breakfast.”

The two little guys dawdled over. “Mommy, did you change the dressing on your arm?”

“Yes, yes. I’ve already changed it.”

“Oh!”

As they were talking, Bruce strode down the stairs.

As usual, he was wearing a suit and looked noble and elegant. However, his face was as dark as ice and exuded a

murderous

aura.

When he passed by the dining room, the two little guys greeted in unison, “Good morning, Daddy.”

“Morning!” Bruce replied.

Without even looking at Joanna, he passed through the dining room and walked out.

Similarly, Joanna did not give him a second glance. She treated him like air.

The two little guys looked at each other and exchanged glances. “Mommy, can you make spaghetti for us this

afternoon?”

Joanna was stunned!

Davian and Irvin’s favorite food were dumplings and pancakes. They didn’t really like spaghetti.

“Why do you want to eat spaghetti today?”

“We just want it.”

“Alriglu! I will make it for you after school.”

Okay, okay.”

Are you full, boys?”

“Yes.

“Hurry up and go to school. I have to go to the hospital to check on Lilia later.”

“Oh, bye, Mommy.”

“Goodbye, my babies!” Joannasquatted down and kissed Davian and Irvin on the checks.

Then, the two little guys followed the driver to the car.

Joanna also packed up and rushed to the hospital to see her daughter.

No matter what, she had to go to the hospital to accompany her daughter every day.

It was past ten in the morning.

Joanna drove to the children’s hospital.

Lilia had been in the hospital for almost a week.

“Doctor, how is Lilia’s condition?”

The doctor flipped through Lilia’s medical record and said with a serious expression. “She is having bad anemia.

She has hematopoietic stem cell disorder. Pulmonary inflammation is serious as well. She still needs to stay in the

hospital for a period of time.

“If there’s still no improvement, we might have to consider a bone marrow transplant.”

Joanna frowned when she heard that. Although the doctor didn’t say that Lilia’s leukemia would relapse, it was very

likely

the case.

“Now, we have to treat her lung infection first. Otherwise, it will cause other illnesses.”

“Alright, I understand!” Joanna replied gloomily.

Then, she left the doctor’s office and entered Lilia’s ward..

Lilian and two professional caregivers in the hospital. When they saw Joanna coming over, they hurriedly came

forward.

“Hello. Mrs. Everett.”

Joanna’s brows sank. She hated this title. However, she was too lazy to correct them.

“Lilia. I am here to see you!”

Lilia lay on the hospital bed. Her big eyes flickered as she called out in a childish voice, “Mommy…”

“Are you still feeling unwell?” Joanna looked at her daughter, feeling sorry for her.

Lilia had been sick since she was born and had suffered a lot. Joanna wished she could take it for her.

“Yes, a little!”

When Joanna heard this, she felt even more upset. She gently rubbed her daughter’s head. “Are you hungry? Do

you want to eat something?”

“I’m not hungry. I just want chocolate.”

“Be good. When you recover, I will buy you a lot of chocolates,” Joanna said gently.

Lilia loved chocolate the most. Unfortunately, because of her health, she could not eat too much chocolate.
