Chapter 465
Bruce had taken the initiative to establish trust funds worth more than 2 billion dollars for each of his kids. This
meant that his kids would be financially secure no matter what happened to the Everett Group.
“Bruce, don’t you think the kids are too young for this?” Joanna asked with a voice filled with concern.
Bruce pursed his lips and said calmly. “You never know what happens tomorrow. In case something happens to me
in the future, I want to make sure that both my kids and you enjoy financial security.”
Joanna’s eyes were welled up with tears.
Bruce was so considerate that he had thought about everything.
The kids, still confused about the situation, eagerly asked. “Mommy, what’s it?”
Joanna pondered for a moment, then leaned down to affectionately pat her son’s head. “This shows the immense
love your Daddy has for you. You should treat your Daddy well.”
“Oh?” The three little kids‘ eyes blinked in confusion.
Irvin, as a clever boy, quickly showered his father with flattery. “Thank you, Daddy. I promise to treat you well. I’ll
give you delicious food. I’ll buy you anything that you want.”
Lilia echod, I’ll treat Daddy well too!”
“Good girl!” Bruce nodded approvingly.
“Now, let’s make a wish and cut the cake!”
Before them stood a magnificent five–tiered birthday cake adorned with more than ten candles. The little ones
gathered around the cake and blew out the candles together.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtDavian clasped his hands together, closed his eyes, and earnestly made a wish. “I hope Lilia recovers from her
illness quickly
“I hope Daddy and Mommy can remarry soon.”
“I hope our family will always stay together!” The three little ones made their wishes one by one.
Joanna patted their heads affectionately. “Wishes won’t come true if spoken. You’d better make your wish silently.”
“With a sincere heart, wishes can come true. I want to say my wish out loud because I fear the gods might not hear
it otherwise. So, I’m going to express my wish loudly.” Irvin spoke with a devout expression.
“Alright, let’s cut the cake!”
The three little ones each held a knife, trying to make a cut on the cake.
Since the cake was too big, the kids just made a cut symbolically, and then the servants came to cut the cake and
distribute the slices.
“This piece is for Mommy, and this one is for Daddy!”
“Help yourself. Let’s enjoy the cake together.” Joanna smiled and said to everyone.
“Thank you!” The doctors and nurses each took a slice of cake.
The birthday party ended.
The doctors and nurses left with red envelopes and exquisite gifts.
Bruce, Joanna, and their two older children, Davian and Irvin, prepared to return home.
Lilia’s condition had stabilized, and now the care of a nurse was enough for her and there was no need for Joanna
to stay at the hospital.
At the Sherane Bay Villa.
By the time they arrived home, it was already past ten in the evening, and the two little ones had fallen asleep in
the car.
The servants carried Davian and Irvin to their respective rooms for a good night’s sleep, while Bruce and Joanna
made their way to their own bedroom.
After washing up, Bruce stepped onto the balcony, lighting a cigarette with an air of restlessness.
Seeing this, Joanna silently approached. “The surgery is scheduled for next week. Take good care of yourself during
these days, don’t stay up late, and cut down on smoking.”
“Okay, got it,” Bruce extinguished the cigarette upon hearing her words.
I’ve told you countless times to quit smoking, but you never truly do,” remarked Joanna.
Chapter 465
“Joanna, I love you!” Bruce’s eyes suddenly grew profound, revealing a touch of melancholy.
In these past few days, before retiring to bed each night. Bruce would gaze deeply into Joanna’s eyes and said with
a deep voice, “I love you.”
Joanna sensed a sense of uneasiness, feeling that something serious was about to unfold.
Women are known to be strong from the outside but tender in heart.
A man who has completely taken over her physically has also won her heart over.
“Bruce, you’ve been acting strangely lately. Is there something you’re keeping from me?” Joanna stared at him with
a questioning gaze.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBruce shrugged his shoulders. “No, there’s nothing.”
Joanna didn’t believe him and continued to scrutinize him suspiciously. “Really?”
Trust me. There’s really nothing”
“If there’s anything, you must tell me.”
“Mm. I understand. Let’s go to bed!” Bruce interrupted before she could say more.
He bent down, lifted her up by holding her back, and gently placed her on the soft mattress of the bed.
The next day.
Bruce had just woken up when his phone started ringing.
The cellphone beeped.
Glancing at the screen, he saw that it was a call from Zachary. Bruce casually answered the call, “Hello, why are
you calling so early?”
On the other end of the line, Zachary’s voice came through with anxiety. “Bruce, you mentioned before that you
would introduce me to some influential officials in Porash. When can you make that happen?”
Bruce furrowed his brow upon hearing this. “I’ve been busy lately! My daughter is having surgery, so it’ll have to
wait for a while.”
Just spare some time to help me out. I’m really in a hurry.”
Bruce replied impatiently, “I really don’t have the time right now! How about this, I’ll make arrangements for you. I
can have the other shareholders in my company help introduce you!”
“Alright, I guess that works.”
“Okay! Let’s consider it settled. I’ll get everything arranged and give you a call!” Bruce said, ready to hang up the
call.
“No, no, no. Don’t hang up so quickly. I haven’t finished talking!”
