The Return of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife by Zara Gibbon

Chapter 845

Considering the relationship between the Everett family and the Garcia family in the past, and also that Jennie was

a woman, he didn’t want to take advantage of her.

Of course, the taking advantage he was thinking about was not to sleep with her, but rather taking advantage of

her financially.

“Bruce, do you look down on me that much?

“I’m here to invest in your project. Don’t treat me like a child anymore.” Jennie’s face flushed with anger as she

looked at Bruce with her beautiful eyes.

Bruce shrugged his shoulders at her. “Jennie, I’m just reminding you out of kindness. If you believe me, then don’t

get involved. If you don’t, then forget about what I said.

“Excuse me, I’m going home now.”

Seeing his impatient expression, Jennie went completely crazy. “Bruce, I’m really here to discuss business with you.

“I really don’t have any other thoughts. Why did you keep me away?”

“I just told you, this business isn’t for you.

“If you’re really interested, go talk to Mr. Matthews. I’m not responsible for attracting investment.”

Bruce said perfunctorily and walked toward the car.

Jennie chased after him in her high heels. “Bruce, wait a moment. I haven’t finished yet. Why are you in such a

hurry?”

A few bodyguards quickly stepped forward and stopped her. “Miss Garcia, please don’t get too close.”

“Bruce, Bruce…”

Bruce ignored her shouts and got into the car.

The driver stepped on the accelerator and drove away.

“Miss Garcia, please leave!”

Seeing that Bruce was still treating her so coldly, Jennie stomped her feet angrily. “Hmph… Bruce, I’ll definitely

make you regret it.

“So many people are begging me to invest, but I can’t be bothered to agree with them. Now that I’ve taken the

initiative to look for you, you’re treating me like this?”

Jennie took a few deep breaths, her chest heaving violently from anger.

“Miss Garcia… How about we go back first?” Jimmy said carefully.

“Do I need you to tell me that?”

Jennie turned around. She opened the car door with all her might and sat in.

After getting into the car, Jennie was still furious.

She had been secretly in love with Bruce since she was 15 years old.

After so many years, Bruce had never given her a chance.

The

way

she expressed her love was also very suffocating. Not only was she not as smart as Aria Bridges, but she was also

not as strong as Joanna.

Therefore, Bruce was destined not to like her.

“Ah! I’m so angry, so angry…

“Bruce, I will definitely make you come back crying and begging me one day.”

At 7 pm, Bruce dragged his tired body back to Sherane Bay Villa.

“Madam, Mr. Everett is back.”

“Oh, get ready. It’s time to eat.” Joanna was very happy today. She specially cooked a few dishes in person.

“Honey, I’m back.”

“Why are you so late? Didn’t you say that you would be back the apron.

He had always had a strict sense of time.

six o’clock?” Joanna asked subconsciously after she untied

If he said that he would be back at six o’clock, there would usually be

no difference of five minutes.

Now, he was almost an hour late.

Bruce frowned. “Something happened just now and I was delayed.”

“What happened?” Joanna asked with concern.

Bruce said bitterly, “Nothing much. It’s just about work.”

Joanna looked suspicious upon hearing this.

Bruce’s expression was filled with annoyance. It seemed like it was not something good.

“Have you arranged everything for the company? I called Lilia’s school today and have already applied for leave for

Lilia.”

“Yes, yes. The company’s matters are almost settled.” As Bruce spoke, he lowered his head and kissed Joanna’s

cheek.

“Then wash your hands and prepare to have dinner.”

“Okay, I’ll go upstairs and change.”

“Davian, Irvin, Lilia, it’s time to eat. Come out quickly.”

“Oh, I’ll be right there.”

In the dining room, the three little fellows sat around the dining table and looked at the dishes on the table. They

could tell at a glance that their mother had made them.

“Wow, Mommy cooked personally today.” Davian’s face was filled with excitement.

Irvin laughed too. “That’s right! We’re lucky to get something nice to eat!”

“I love Mommy’s cooking the most.”

Joanna smiled knowingly.

Joanna thought she was actually quite happy on such days. Bruce was responsible for making money to support the

family, and she was responsible for family affairs.

He worked outside to earn money while she took care of the housework.

Just like all ordinary couples, they lived a simple and ordinary life.

Perhaps this was happiness!

“Lilia, I helped you apply for leave today. You don’t need to go to school next Monday.”

When Lilia heard this, her big eyes blinked adorably. “Mommy, really?”

Joanna smiled gently at her daughter. “Of course, really. I’ve already made an appointment with Doctor Carl for

you.

“Next week, we’re flying to Gaprington for corrective surgery.”

When Davian heard this, he asked curiously, “Daddy, Mommy, after the surgery, can Lilia walk like a normal

person?”

Joanna nodded. “Yes, if the treatment works well, Lilia should be able to return to normal.”

“Wow, that’s great.”

“I hope Lilia can have the surgery successfully this time and walk like a normal person in the future.”

Irvin also hurriedly cheered for his sister. “That’s for sure. Lilia, the surgery will definitely be successful.”

When Lilia heard this, her face was filled with longing. “When I can walk like a normal person, I want to learn

ballet.”

“Of course. When your legs recover, you can do whatever you want.”

As they talked, Davian frowned and asked, “By the way, Daddy, Mommy, how long will you be gone for?”

“Hmm, I asked the doctor. According to Lilia’s situation, it may take at least two months,” said Joanna.

“Ah? It’ll take so long?”

“That’s right! The corrective surgery is a little troublesome. It can’t be rushed. Two months is just a conservative

time now. It might be even longer.”

“Doesn’t that mean we won’t see Daddy and Mommy for two months? And Lilia either?”

“Not really. Daddy and I will find time to come back and see you.”

“What about Devin? Is he going too?”

Joanna frowned when she heard that.

Devin was still too little.

It was not appropriate to bring him there.

However, if he was left at home, Joanna would be even more worried.

“Honey, what do you think? Should we bring Devin along?”

“Hmm…” Bruce forked up a piece of beef, feeling a little anxious.

Actually, it was fine to bring one more child. Anyway, he would bring bodyguards, servants, assistants, and a bunch

of other people with them to Gaprington this time.

But…

He was just a bit conflicted in his heart and did not want to take Devin with them.

“We’ll let Devin stay at home! Gael and Miranda will take care of him. He’s too little. It’s inconvenient for us to bring

him along.”

“But Devin is too little. That’s why I’m worried.” Joanna really couldn’t bear to leave such a little baby at home.

“I don’t think we should take him.

“The more people there are, the more troublesome it will be. If we take Devin, we’ll have to bring seven or eight

more

servants.

“It’s too troublesome…”
