The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife (Joanna)

Chapter 58 Back at the hospital, Roxanne had been resting in her ward for over ten days. The wound on her wrist was more or less healed up.

On that very day, it was ultimately time for her to be discharged.

Shaun. Ingrid, and Bruce all arrived to pick her up.

“Oh, Bruce, now that Roxy has been discharged from the hospital, what is the plai your marriage?” Bruce could barely manage a smile on his handsome face. “We planned to go pick the wedding gown in a few days, but only after Roxy’s body has completely recovered. After that, we'll pick an auspicious date to get engaged.” Ingrid’s mouth twitched slightly as she listened to his speech.

“An engagement? What's the point of getting engaged? Why can't they ski p all these and get their marriage certificate at once?” she wondered.

Of course, she didn’t have the temerity to tell them that.

After all, if she were to press the matter, she would make her daughter look bad and cheap.

“Okay, then. You two call the shots. As your elders, we'll only offer our advice when needed. Let's hop in.” The driver opened the car door.

Ingrid got into the car first, followed by Roxanne and Shaun.

Bruce was the last to slide into the car.

As the car headed for the Haynes residence, Bruce's heart became heavier and more entangled as he thought of his feelings toward Roxanne.

He suddenly discovered that he actually didn’t have a thing for Roxanne at all.

After all these years, he remembered never having a stir of rush whenever he faced her.

Even so, he could only muster his courage and go with the flow.

The first thing that came to Ingrid’s mind the second she reached home was to make a phone call.

“Hello, Mrs. Roger! My dear Roxy is getting engaged. Well, who else would it be? Of course, it's Mr. Everett. He has even bought a pink diamond that’s at least 20 carats and proposed to Roxy.” After a while, Ingrid dialed another number. “Hello, Mrs. Paul! Roxy's getting engaged next month, so you have to come to witness the ceremony...” Ingrid couldn't hold back her overflowing joy as she rang up those housewives of the upper echelons to brag about it.

A few days later, the news of Bruce getting engaged with Roxanne from Haynes Group spread like wildfire.

All the Greyport socialites couldn't stop scoffing, “Another engagement, huh? Didn't they already have one six years ago? What good had come out of it?” “Hmph! Did you see how smug Ingrid has been? How could the Everett family take her daughter in? Who does she think she is?” “Mr. Everett is also really blind to have chosen Ingrid’s daughter, of all women.” 1018 Chapter 58 “I heard that it was her daughter who had cut her wrist and threatened Bruce into submitting to this marriage. The Everett family had to accept her daughter for fear of causing a fatality.” “Hah! It's the same old tricks. It’s just like what Ingrid had done when she forced herself into her man’s family.” “Like mother, like daughter. Ingrid’s daughter must be a person with ill intentions as well.” Soon enough, Gavin also got wind of Roxanne’s engagement.

As soon as he heard the news, he fell into a state of total meltdown.

He began to call Roxanne’s number and sent her gazillions of text messages.

Roxanne was so irritated that she had to answer his call and try to sever all ties with him.

“Hello, Roxy. You finally picked up my call...” “Gavin, don’t you ever call me again!” On the other end of the line came Gavin's bursting voice. “Roxy, | know. | just want to see your one last time. | promise. This will be the last time. After that, I'll leave you alone.” face Roxanne gulped on that note. “No, Gavin, we do not see each other anymore. There’s no way | would let Bruce know about us.” “But I miss you, Roxy! | really do!” On the other end of the line, Gavin muttered the same sentence over and over again.

Alas, Roxanne relented and agreed to his pleas. “Fine. See you at our usual meeting place.” “Great! You've got to come, Roxy!” In the blink of an eye, Roxanne arrived at the sushi bar.

Gavin was already waiting in the private room.

“I missed you like hell, Roxy!” When he caught sight of Roxanne’s presence, he pounced on her and held her in his arms.

Furrowing her brows, Roxanne jostled him. “Gavin, we have to stop doing this, all right? I'm getting married. We ought to stop meeting up in the future.” “I know, | know...” As Gavin replied, he was busy planting kisses all over Roxanne’s cheeks! “Let go of me! Stop right there!” Roxanne was struggling and shoving him away, but deep down, she was yearning for more.

“Roxy, | really missed you... | missed you so much! Rest assured. | won't disturb your life, and | won't cause you any trouble.” As he said that, Roxanne wriggled for a bit before her breath became light. “Don’t do this... Stop...” “Did you miss me, Roxy?” Gavin knew that she had always enjoyed the thrill, so he made sure to always give her a different experience.

In truth, Roxanne couldn't suppress her desire anymore, for she had spent more than ten days in the hospital.

She had wished to turn him down, but she caved in because Gavin genuinely had a knack for it.

10:18 Chapter 58 “Roxy, let's forget about your engagement, okay?” “Yes... Sure...” Soon, Roxanne’s heart melted into a puddle.

Both of them had never stepped out of the room all afternoon.

After the incident, the heat dissipated. Roxanne regained her sanity on the spot.

She knew she had to stop allowing Gavin to badger herself like that.

As they always said, if one played with fire, the person was bound to get burned sooner or later.

Once Bruce found out about this, even the Haynes family would be doomed.
