Chapter 560
The three children nodded and replied in unison, “Yes, of course.”
Bruce bent down, lifting Lilia into his arms and gently planting kisses on her cheek.
“I miss you, Lilia. Come, give me a kiss.”
Lilia beamed with a radiant smile and planted several kisses on his cheek.
“We want to give Daddy kisses too.” Irvin went ahead to greet his father while hopping around like a cute monkey.
The father chuckled, saying, “Go away. Only girls can give me kisses.”
“No!” Having been rejected, Irvin pouted, demonstrating displeasure.
“Daddy, are you hungry?”
“Yes, a little.”
Of course, he was hungry. He had not eaten since yesterday afternoon, after all. After a night of intense activity, he
was completely drained of energy.
It would be strange if he was not hungry.
“We’re waiting for you to have breakfast together! We’ve got you a steak sandwich, your favorite!”
He smiled warmly, carrying his daughter as he walked toward the dining room. “Let’s go! I will have breakfast with
you guys.”
Then, he brought the children to the dining room.
The breakfast was particularly abundant, and it was even more so today.
There was a wide range of options laid out on the table.
The four sat at the dining table, ready to start eating
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtDavian looked up at the second floor and asked with a puzzled expression. “Daddy, why isn’t Mommy getting up
yet?”
As he spoke, he got off his chair and said, “Tll go wake Mommy up for breakfast.”
Bruce lifted an eyebrow and casually said. “No need to wake her up. Mommy is still sleeping, so don’t disturb her.”
The three children’s faces were filled with astonishment.
After all, their mother had not come out of the bedroom since yesterday afternoon.
Therefore, she must be hungry after such a long time without food.
Davian’s eyes flickered as he cautiously asked, “Daddy, is Mommy ill?
Bruce calmly cut a piece of Wagyu sandwich with his knife and fork, and without thinking, he replied, “Yeah,
Mommy caught a cold, so she needs more sleep.”
“Can I go check on Mommy?”
The father stopped smiling immediately. “There’s no need to worry about Mommy. Sit down and have your
breakfast.” Seeing the change in the father’s expression, the two boys glanced at each other, feeling that
something was not right.
After all, their mother rarely slept in.
They thought to themselves, ‘Daddy returned only yesterday, so why would Mommy be sleeping in?”
“You need to go to the kindergarten after breakfast. Don’t be late.” Bruce’s face turned serious, not wearing a
smile anymore.
“Oh, okay!” The three children dared not to make more fuss. Instead, they sat down and had breakfast obediently.
After breakfast.
“Daddy, we’re going to school”
“Alright, go ahead!”
The children then headed toward the school.
Bruce had just finished his breakfast.
He had initially planned to go to the office, but on second thought, he supposed that Joanna must be hungry having
not eaten anything.
He could order a servant to take care of her.
However, he wanted to continue venting his anger as he still felt upset.
He bought sandwiches and a glass of milk into the bedroom.
Inside the bedroom.
Joanna, with her disheveled hair cascading over her face, remained in a deep slumber.
“Get up” His command was cold and emotionless.
She did not react at all. Meanwhile, she appeared to be almost lifeless.
“Get up already. Did you hear me? His voice sharpened as he urged her again.
She remained silent.
“I know you’re awake. What happened last night was a punishment for you. Joanna, from today onwards, you are
no longer my wife, but only my pleasure slave. Do you hear me? Now that he enjoyed tormenting her, he spoke
without regard for her feelings
She still did not respond
His gaze turned cold as he walked over in annoyance.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe lowered his head to take a look, and he noticed that her cheeks were extremely red while her neck was covered
in bruises
He reached out and touched her forehead, feeling an intense heat.
She had a high temperature
His expression darkened, and he decided to call the family doctor
Twenty min
The family doctor hurriedly arrived with medical equipment.
After reaching the bedroom the doctor measured Joanna’s temperature.
“Forty-one degrees. The patient’s burning up pretty badly”
Bruce furrowed his brows. “Give her some injections and medications to help with the temperature.”
“Okay!” the family doctor said, glancing at Joanna’s pitiful state
A sense of pity welled up in his heart
The doctor realized that being the woman of a wealthy man was not as easy as it seemed. She may appear
glamorous on the surface, but behind the scenes, she had to endure many unsavory aspects.
The doctor administered the injection that helped with the fever and departed after providing some instructions.
It was 10 o’clock in the morning
Seeing that Joanna was only having a fever. Bruce believed there would not be any major issues.
Therefore, he decided to go to the office.
Ring, ring, ring!
Just as he was about to head to the office, his phone started ringing.
He checked lus phone and saw that it was a call from Jennie.
“How annoying!”
He immediately hung up the phone for he had no intention of answering her call.
