The Return of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife by Zara Gibbon

Chapter 1030

“Oh god! Look, you’re suspecting me again! My love, I’m a good man. I swear I didn’t do anything bad.”

Fry and Aria had goosebumps when they heard Bruce’s words.

This was too out of place.

The tone of his voice was completely different from his usual cold and

determined appearance.

On the other end of the line, Joanna was a little exasperated. “I’ll hang up and video chat with you.”

She wanted to see where he was at the moment.

“Oh, no! Please don’t hang up. It wasn’t easy for me to find a place with a signal. If you hang up on me, it’ll be hard

to get through again.

“The signal here is terrible. The video will be frozen, and I can’t answer the video call.” Bruce quickly refused it. Of

course, he didn’t dare to answer the video call. If he answered the video call, Joanna would see he was in the same

car with Aria. And she might make wild guesses again!

When Joanna heard this, her heart skipped a beat. She did not dare to hang up the phone rashly.

After all, she couldn’t reach him for the past three days. Now that she had finally gotten through, she was over the

moon.

“How much longer will you stay in no man’s land?”

“Hmm, not long. I should be able to leave this place in ten days to half a month.””

When Joanna heard that, she was annoyed. “Ten days to half a month? Is it going to take that long?”

“Yep, honey. I’m already in a hurry. I can’t leave unless I get things done here.” Joanna pursed her lips helplessly.

“Where’s Darcy?”

Bruce glanced at Darcy, who was sitting in the front passenger seat. “Darcy is beside me.”

“Is he alright?” Joanna asked with concern.

“I’m safe and sound. What could have happened to him?

“You hear that? You’re concerned about another man but don’t even care to ask if I’m alright!” Bruce pretended to

be jealous.

Hearing that, tears welled up in Joanna’s eyes.

For God’s sake, how could he say she didn’t care about him?

But Bruce’s voice was full of energy. It didn’t sound like there was anything wrong

with him.

“Come on. I’m asking for Grace. She’s been worried sick these past few days. She calls me every day to check in

with Darcy.

“Since there’s a signal now, tell Darcy to call her back as soon as possible.”

“Oh, okay. I’ll tell him now.

“Darcy, call Ms. Grace immediately and tell her not to worry about you.”

Darcy sat silently in the passenger seat.

“Did you hear me?”

“Uh, yeah, I did.”

Bruce’s eyes darkened. He continued chatting with Joanna on the phone. “Is everything alright with the family and

the company?”

“Yep, everything is fine.”

“Did anything big happen in Greyport?”

Joanna paused. “Well, there is one thing.”

“What is it?”

“Marlowe and Jennie are getting engaged next month. They’ve even sent an invitation letter over.”

When Bruce heard this, he frowned and had a sinking feeling in his heart. “Marlowe is not a good person. You’d

better think twice before going to their engagement party. Also, Jennie is so simple-minded that I’m afraid she will

be used.”

“Okay, I see. I’ll get Gael to prepare a gift and send it over.”

After all, they had sent the party invitation, and she had to do something out of courtesy.

“Okay. Take good care of the children and yourself. Be good and wait for me to come home,” Bruce reminded her

worriedly.

“Oh, there’s one more thing.” Joanna suddenly remembered.

“What is it?”

“I’m going to send Davian and Irvin to study in Antlen after they finish this

semester.”

“Why?” Bruce asked in confusion.

“No one knows them abroad, and few people will pay much attention to them there. I think it will be better for their

growth that way.

“I went to their campus sports meet yesterday. Jesus! These children are crazing to vie with each other. Can you

imagine that? To top it off, they are fond of keeping

up with the Joneses.” Joanna sighed as she spoke.

“Do you know what Irvin wants to be when growing up?”

“What does he want to be?”

Joanna sighed deeply again. “He said he wanted to be a super-rich man like when he grew up and wanted to be

with many hot chicks.”

Bruce was stunned when he heard that, and he suddenly laughed.

“That sounds very Irvin. I’ll talk to him when I get back.”

“You know what? I have a feeling that the children’s values have been misled. If it went on like this, I’m worried that

they will grow up to be useless playboys,” Joanna said in anxiety.

It was okay that children were ignorant and incompetent when they grew up, but she couldn’t accept that they

would become someone like Marlowe.

Joanna was about to say something else when Bruce quickly interrupted her. “Honey, I’ll talk to you later. We’ve got

a situation in front of us. We have to get out of the car to take a look.”

“What happened?”

“It’s no big deal. We just found something we’ve been searching for. We must detect it with a geological detector to

see if it’s the energy source we’re looking for.” Bruce was a good liar.

No one could tell if it was true or false.

Joanna believed him. “Oh, okay!”

“Gotta go. Take care.”

“Be careful. Get the things done and come home.”

“Got it, honey. Love you.” Bruce smiled dotingly and kissed on the phone.

“Holy shit! That’s killing me.” Fry couldn’t help but whisper.

Listening to Bruce’s gentle voice when he called Joanna, Aria couldn’t help feeling bitter deep inside.

She could imagine how much he loved his wife.

If she had not chosen to study back then, she and Bruce must be a happy couple

now.

Beep! Beep! Beep!

Someone’s phone was vibrating.

Bruce looked up and ‘saw that it was not his phone ringing. “Darcy, is your phone ringing?”

“Oh, just ignore it.” Darcy immediately muted the phone.

“Is Ms. Grace calling you? If so, you should answer it!” Bruce’s voice sounded a little impatient.

Anyway, he didn’t like to keep people guessing and waiting.

If he loved someone, he would do whatever it took to pursue her. Otherwise, he

would make it clear to her. He wouldn’t give her false hopes or waste her time.

Of course, Darcy’s situation was a little more complicated. It wasn’t that he didn’t love Grace. It was just that his

body didn’t allow it, and he was afraid that he wouldn’t be able to give her the happiness a woman wanted.

He was even more afraid that Grace would look down on him after finding his problem.

Beep!

As soon as he hung up, Grace immediately called in again.

Darcy was silent as he sat there in a daze.

He had no idea what to say to Grace.

When he turned on his phone, he was shocked to see all those missed calls and messages from Grace.

But it made him want to escape more. The more passionately Grace was after him, the less guts he had to face up

to her.

“How soon can we reach downtown?”

“I guess it’ll take another hour.”

“Okay. I’ll take a break first.”

“Fine!”

Bruce did not dare to say anything else. He closed his eyes to take a break.

In Greyport.

“Thank God! The call finally got through. God, please bless him and bring him home the soonest. Be safe and

sound, Bruce!”

Joanna was silently praying when Gael walked over. “Mrs. Everett, we just received the news that Mr. Yanice and

Miss Garcia’s engagement party had been canceled.”

“What?” Joanna was stunned to hear that.

“The engagement party has been canceled?”

Gael nodded. “Yes, the media has also exposed it. The Garcia family has officially issued a notice on it. So has the

Yanice family.”

“It happened so fast!” Joanna still found it unbelievable.

They were from two completely different worlds and had nothing in common.

They hooked up with each other for no reason and were going to break up.

“Fine. Whatever! Since the engagement party has been canceled, there’s no need to give them the gifts.”

“Okay. I’ll put the gifts in the warehouse first.”

“Alright! Just deal with it as you see fit.”

After Gael left, Joanna was still on pins and needles.

Last year, Jennie invested in a real estate company in a hurry. And it was said that her business partner was

Marlowe.

Her purpose was to go against the project of Green Bay.

The project of Green Bay was in full swing, and the golf club nearby was already under construction.

But there was nothing new about Jennie’s real estate company. It was all bark and no bite.
