Chapter 663
Joanna slept deeply through the night.
It was already past four in the early morning when she woke up.
Feeling her arm numb, Joanna opened her eyes groggily. Bruce was slumped over at the bedside, still asleep, with
his hand tightly gripping hers.
His drool had even flowed onto her arm, and his head rested on her arm, making it numb.
Joanna tried to pull her hand away, but it failed as Bruce was still deeply asleep.
Unable to free her hand, Joanna sighed softly. She had to turn to lie on her side.
At the same time, she reached out her other hand and gently touched his head. A scar, which was a few inches
long, remained above his left eyebrow, adding a touch of world-weariness to his appearance.
Despite Joanna’s gentle movements, she still woke Bruce up. “Honey, you’re awake!” He chirped.
“Mm, it’s already past four in the morning; you should go back to your room and sleep!” Joanna replied.
Bruce rubbed his eyes and spoke with a tinge of guilt, “I won’t go anywhere. I want to stay here with you. Darling, I
really did not mean to hurt you. You can hit me if you want. Just don’t be mad at me, okay?”
Joanna did not say anything but looked at him tenderly.

chair?”
When Bruce heard this, his face lit up with surprise, and he carefully asked, “Honey, can I lie down here?”
“Of course, you can,” Joanna responded.
The bed was large, 7.8 feet long and 6.6 feet wide, with plenty of space for the two of them.
Without hesitation, Bruce obediently lay beside Joanna, curling up his body and cautiously watching her.
He did not dare to touch her.
“Honey, can I touch our baby? Don’t worry. I’ll be very gentle, and I would not hurt the baby,” Bruce asked with
great care and a pitiful look.
Joanna felt an indescribable mix of emotions upon hearing his words. She gently took his hand and placed it on her
lower abdomen.
As if he was touching a bomb, he caressed Joanna’s abdomen with extreme caution. He cooed, “My baby, you’re
alright.” Joanna felt a tinge of soreness in her nose and was at a loss for words when she witnessed him so nervous
and submissive.
In the past, he was the absolute dominant one in bed.
Whatever he wanted, he would achieve it. Sometimes, even being held by him was a form of torture.
He would tightly embrace the other person and had powerful arms that made struggling impossible.
He was aggressive and domineering in intimate matters, entangling endlessly until she cried, and he would feel
satisfied.
Then, he would coax her gently until she completely surrendered and lost all her resistance. He would conquer her
and made her do whatever he wanted.
His way of expressing love was utterly the opposite of other men. While other men pampered women, saying all
sorts of sweet words and being accommodating, treating them like princesses, he was like a hungry wolf, full of
intense aggression, always ready to hunt, wild and dangerous.
When there was danger, he would do whatever he could to save the one he loved. When there was no danger,
however, he was the biggest threat. In short, loving him and being loved by him were both headaches!
In short, loving him and being loved by him were both headaches!
On the other hand, Evan almost jumped for joy when he received the news of Bruce’s mental disability.
Lola had come to visit him at the villa as planned.
As soon as they met, Lola could not help but mock, “Why are you still looking for me?”
Evan was excited and exclaimed with eagerness, “Lola, have you seen the news?”
“What news?” Lola asked.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Did you hear the news? Bruce had become mentally disabled,” Evan shared excitedly.
“So what? What does it matter if I’ve seen it or not?” Lola questioned with a frown.
“Here’s our second chance!” Evan exclaimed excitedly. His eyes sparkled as if he had seen a mountain of gold.
Lola frowned and glared at him in silence.
“Now that he’s mentally disabled, he does not have the ability to manage his own affairs! Now, Dad can apply to be
his guardian!” Evan said excitedly.
“Ugh, please stop causing trouble!” Lola replied as she rolled her eyes and poured herself a glass of juice
absentmindedly.
Liam had agreed to take care of her health and undergo IVF with her. She had already started taking folic acid and
receiving ovulation induction injections.
Since Evan refused to have a child with her, she did not want to wait for him anymore.
“Why aren’t you happy with such great news? Do you know what this means?” Evan asked.
Lola sneered, saying with a sullen face, “I’m sorry, I’m not interested! My biggest interest is to have a child as soon
as possible.”
Evan grabbed her shoulder and said excitedly, “Lola, here you go again. You can have a child anytime, but this
opportunity might be lost forever. So, no matter what, we must seize this chance. We cannot let it go to waste.”
