The Return of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife by Zara Gibbon

Chapter 1044

“Grace, be good and go back now.”

“No! Listen, if you ruin my plan, I’ll never talk to you,” Grace said aggressively and jumped off Darcy.

Then, she tiptoed toward the villa.

“Grace, don’t go in.”

“Come on, tell me where the scumbag and his mistress are.”

At this point, Bruce appeared in the corridor.

“Oh, I saw him.”

Grace quickly bent down and sneakily followed Bruce.

Seeing this, Darcy did not even dare to breathe heavily.

Given Bruce’s explosive temper, he would definitely give Darcy a hard time if he found out that he had brought

Grace to the villa.

Bruce walked down the corridor to the backyard with a sullen face.

“Bang! Bang! Bang!”

Aria had just fallen asleep when she heard the knock on the door.

She quickly got up and opened the door.

Seeing that it was Bruce outside, she asked excitedly, “Bruce, what brings you here?”

Bruce’s face darkened. “Aria, I have something to ask you.”

“Go ahead.”

“Let’s talk in the room,” Bruce said and walked into the room.

Aria closed the door behind her.

Grace was at the other end of the corridor. When she saw Bruce enter Aria’s

room, her mouth instantly opened wide into an O shape.

“Gosh! You told me that there was nothing going on between them. If that was the case, how could he stay with

that woman in the same room alone?”

“Click! Click! Click!” Grace had been filming along the way, but now, she turned off the photography function and

took a few photos.

Darcy pulled her away anxiously. “Grace, it’s not what it looks like.

“There’s nothing special between Mr. Everett and Miss Bridges, really!”

Darcy was eager to explain.

Unfortunately, he was clumsy with words and could not make himself clear.

He wanted to defend Bruce, but the way he spoke was like he was trying to cover

up something for him.

[Joann, I just discovered something new. Your husband is in Aria’s room.]

Grace sent a voice message to Joanna.

After that, she sent her the video of Bruce and Aria meeting up.

What made things even worse was that Bruce was wearing pajamas in the video.

After all, he was at home. It was very uncomfortable to wear a suit and tie, so he would habitually change into his

pajamas when he returned home.

But everyone would misunderstand when they saw the video.

Aria opened the door for him in her pajamas and looked at him affectionately. Then Bruce walked into her room,

wearing pajamas as well.

It was hard to believe that there was nothing special between them. Joanna who was in Greyportal was so angry

that she stayed up all night. Early in the morning, she received another message and video from Grace. In the

video, Bruce and Aria entered the room together in their pajamas. Aria closed the door in a hurry as if she couldn’t

wait to enjoy their romantic time.

After Joanna watched the video, the phone in her hand fell to the ground.

She used to suspect the relationship between Bruce and Aria.

However, when she thought about how Bruce had managed to reject Aria to get close to him, she believed that he

didn’t betray her.

Now, she couldn’t help but be suspicious again after watching the video.

She was not sure that nothing would happen between Bruce and Aria.

It was hard to figure out what men were thinking. Their mind changed all the time.

Bruce didn’t want to be with Aria back then, but it didn’t mean that he didn’t want

now.

In particular, he had been in Melta for more than 20 days. Even Joanna did not believe that an energetic man like

him could hold on for so long without sex.

“Bruce…” Joanna felt so heartbroken that tears instantly welled up.

She could not understand why men were so easy to be attracted by women and lose control of themselves.

Bruce might really love her, but it didn’t mean that he wouldn’t have an affair with another woman. What’s more,

that scumbag had a lot of women before.

In the meanwhile, Aria was looking at Bruce gently.

“Bruce, what do you want to ask?”

Bruce’s heart skipped a beat. He didn’t know how to put it.

“If you have something to tell me, just say it.” Aria’s voice was even gentler.

Bruce had just hugged her, which meant that he didn’t hate her that much. Though she knew that he was already

married, she still wanted tenderness from him.

She would be happy even if nothing happened between them.

After hesitating for a long time, Bruce put it straight, “Aria, did you call my wife?”

Aria looked at him, dumbfounded.

She thought that he came here because he cared about her.

But it turned out that he was here to blame her.

“Did you call her?” Bruce asked again impatiently.

“Bruce, is that why you’re here?” Aria looked at him in disappointment.

Bruce frowned and said angrily, “I’m asking you, did you call my wife? She refused to talk to me and blocked my

phone number and Messenger. Did you say something to her?”

“I… I didn’t.”

“Really? Listen, if you dare to talk nonsense in front of her again, I won’t let you off.” Bruce was afraid that Aria was

playing tricks to sow discord between Joanna and him again.

Aria’s heart ached at his harsh words.

“So, you came here just to tell me that?”

“What else?” Bruce said impatiently.

Aria smiled bitterly at him, her eyes gradually turning red. “Bruce, you still don’t believe me. I’ve already explained

it to you. Back then, I thought I had cancer and wanted to be with you before my death.

“I know what I did was indeed crazy and made you unhappy.

“I promise I won’t try to take you away from your wife again.”

The more Aria spoke, the more agitated she became. Her vision started to fade, and she fell forward.

Seeing this, Bruce could only reach out to support her. “What’s wrong?”

“Don’t worry about me. It makes me sad that you misunderstood me. I’m so heartbroken.” As Aria spoke, tears

rolled down her pale face.

Bruce felt a little guilty. “I’m sorry. Since you didn’t call her, it must be a misunderstanding.”

Aria did not say anything and just looked at him with tears in her eyes.

Bruce felt uncomfortable under her gaze. “Have a good rest. I’m leaving…”

Before he could finish speaking, Aria closed her eyes and fell into his arms.

“Aria! Aria! Are you alright?”

Aria seemed to be unconscious. Her body went limp as if she had lost her spine.

“Come on, lie down and take some rest.”

Now that she was too weak to stand steadily, Bruce could only lift her off the floor and carry her back to the bed.

Aria wrapped her arms around his neck and rested her head weakly on his shoulder.

When Bruce placed her on the bed, Aria showed no intention to let go of him.

“Ugh!” Bruce lost his balance and collapsed on her.

Startled, he hurriedly grabbed the bed to prop himself up.

Aria slowly opened her eyes and hugged him even tighter.

“Bruce…”

Bruce immediately pushed away her hands and stood up with a disgusted expression.

Aria sat up and put her arms around his waist.

“Bruce, don’t go.

“Can you stay with me for five minutes? I’m not asking for much. I just want you to stay with me for a few minutes.”

“Aria, let go of me.”

“Bruce, I know you don’t love me anymore. I’m not dreaming of being with you, and I just don’t want you to hate

me.

“The mission is very dangerous. We might not be able to return home alive.”

When Bruce heard this, his heart skipped a beat.

The mission was indeed very dangerous.

He might really not be able to go back.

When he thought that he might never be able to see Joanna and the children again, his heart ached so much that

he could barely breathe.

“Bruce, I’m your first love. Have you forgotten those beautiful days in the past? “If our lives are about to come to

an end, don’t you have any regrets for me? “I love you, so I can accept whatever you do to me. I won’t tell your

wife or anyone else.”

Bruce came to his senses and broke free from her grip.

As he expected, Aria still had feelings for him, which made him extremely upset.

Even if he was dying, all he thought about and loved would only be his wife and children.

“Aria, don’t play tricks anymore. Nothing will happen between us.”

After he finished speaking, Bruce left the room with a gloomy face.
