The Return of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife by Zara Gibbon

Chapter 1049

Aria said with a half sneer and half sigh, “You don’t have to mock me. I can tell you the truth. I do love Bruce. At

least compared to you, I dare say that I love him. more than you do.

“It’s just that Bruce doesn’t love me. No matter how much I try to salvage the situation and how I want him to

change his mind, he still only loves you. You should be glad that you can marry him.”

“…” Joanna took a deep breath. Her hand, which was holding the phone, trembled slightly.

“If I were you, I would love him with my life, be considerate of him, and take good care of him. I wouldn’t doubt

him, question him, or make him feel uncomfortable.”

Aria smiled desolately and said disdainfully, “A woman like you is selfish. You only consider your feelings. You never

consider his feelings.”

When Joanna heard this, she could not help but sneer. “Aria, don’t you judge other people’s feelings.

“Don’t think that you know him very well. Don’t think that you know him well just because you were in love with

Bruce.

“And you don’t have to think you’re noble and high-hearted. You would have followed him when he returned to the

country if you loved him that much.

“You were the one who let him go back then. Why are you being so pretentious now? Are you trying to sow discord?

“Let me tell you, no matter what you are up to, don’t show off your eloquence and self-righteous knowledge in front

of me. Just as you said, Bruce is not a fool. Since he doesn’t want to choose you, you should look within yourself for

reasons.” “I’m trying to sow discord? I’m self-righteous?” Aria was amused by these words. She had always felt that

women like Joanna were very shallow in thinking and knowledge. They were not worthy of her and Bruce.

She was the youngest biological scientist and the best agent.

What about Joanna?

She was just a shallow woman who only knew to give birth and please men. What right did she have to say that she

was self-righteous?

“Joanna, with your taste and knowledge, you’re only fit to revolve around your husband and children.

“I’m not as idle as you are, and I can’t play the role of a good wife and mother.” When Joanna heard this, she

couldn’t help but sneer. “Then why are you still saying these things? Now that you think you can’t be a good wife

and mother,

what makes you think Bruce should love you?”

“…” Aria choked and was speechless.

Indeed, she had always thought that she was better than Joanna. She was more capable than her and better than

her in all aspects. There was no reason for her to

lose to her.

She could not figure out, even more, why Bruce was so devoted to Joanna.

But the truth was, a man as outstanding and strong as Bruce could solve any problem. Why would he want a

woman as strong and excellent as he was? He had no lack of outstanding women by his side.

But he lacked someone like Joanna who could get along with him equally. They would never accommodate him or

lower their bottom line because of his status.

To put it bluntly, men might not like a woman who was obedient to them.

However, they would definitely like a woman who could subdue him. Deep down, they actually yearned to be

subdued by women.

Moreover, it was exciting and could fully stimulate their desire to conquer and rebel. Like wild horses, they might

not let a woman ride on them even if she fed them well.

A woman could hit or scold them, and as long as they were tamed, they would be obedient and only recognize this

woman.

Joanna didn’t want to talk to her anymore. She said coldly, “Alright, I already know why you called me. I appreciate

your suggestion. Perhaps I should trust him more.”

“…” Aria was quite angry.

This was not the reaction she wanted. She wanted to see Joanna continue to be unreasonable to Bruce.

Joanna didn’t say anything else and hung up.

After hanging up, she was still so angry that her heart ached.

Bruce was a bastard. He should not have messed with Aria. And now, she was even more frightened.

“Beep, beep, beep.”

Then, she immediately called Bruce.

After receiving Joanna’s call, Bruce immediately picked up. “Hello, honey.”

Joanna said weakly, “Bruce…”

Bruce’s throat tightened. “Honey, you finally called me.”

Η

Joanna pondered.

She

was originally angry and wanted to scold him, but it was stuck in her heart and she could not say a word.

Aria was right. She should give Bruce more trust.

Since she had chosen to believe him, she should not be suspicious anymore. If Bruce had something going on with

Aria, Aria would not have called her so angrily to criticize her.

“Hey, honey… Hello, why aren’t you saying anything?” Bruce’s voice was cautious. “Nothing.”

“Honey, don’t be mad at me anymore, okay?

“I know. I lied to you again this time. I didn’t tell you that I was with Aria.

“I was worried you would be angry and let your imagination run wild. That’s why I didn’t tell you,” Bruce quickly

seized the opportunity to explain.

Joanna was silent for nearly a minute before asking quietly, “Bruce, what exactly are you doing now?

“I want to hear the truth.”

Bruce felt a lump in his throat.

“I don’t want to let my imagination run wild. I don’t want to be scared anymore. No matter what you’re doing, I can

accept it. But you must tell me. Don’t lie to me again.”

Bruce’s

eyes darkened. “…Honey, there are some things that I can’t tell you yet. But I can guarantee you that it’s not

related to romances, nor is it illegal.”

‘Joanna choked. What Jaydon said to her couldn’t help but appear in her mind.

Bruce seemed to have a secret, and this secret seemed… in short, it was hard to explain.

However, she could not figure out what secret he was hiding.

He was Greyport’s richest man who owned billion-dollar assets. He was rich and of good station, so he didn’t need

to worry about anything.

But now, he really seemed to be in trouble.

“Honey, I’m going to no man’s land again tomorrow. You might not be able to get through to me again. Stay home,

and don’t let your thoughts run wild, okay?” Joanna’s heart skipped a beat. After a moment of silence, she said,

“Bruce, can you come back safely?”

She had a premonition that what Bruce was doing was very dangerous.

Although she didn’t know what he was doing, she was certain that it would be a very tricky matter.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have had to deal with it himself. And it wouldn’t have taken him so long.

When Bruce heard this, his heart ached, and his eyes could not help but turn red. After pondering for a few

seconds, he laughed heartily. “Silly girl, what are you thinking about again?

“I will definitely come back!”

“Really?”

“Silly girl, I’ll give you a 100% guarantee that I’ll be home within two months,” As Bruce spoke, a meaningful look

appeared in the corner of his eyes.

Indeed, no matter what, “he” would definitely return home.

If he died, Joanna must not be able to withstand the shock and pain. Also, the

children were too young. They would be pitiful without their father’s company and protection.
