The Return of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife by Zara Gibbon

Chapter 965

“We’ll get our marriage certificate after I return from my business trip.”

“How long will that take?”

“Half a year at most.” Bruce gazed at Joanna with deep affection and melancholy in his eyes.

Joanna raised her eyebrows, feeling inexplicably jealous. “Seriously? Half a year?” Aria had just gone to Melta, and

Bruce’s business trip was also to Melta.

It was really hard for her not to overthink.

“Joann, don’t let your imagination run wild. I’ll be working. Give me half a year and I’ll definitely marry you.”

Joanna choked upon hearing that.

“What does your work have to do with us getting married? We just need a day off to get our marriage certificate.

“Why do I have to wait for half a year? Or are you going to…” Joanna swallowed her words.

Aria had been pestering Bruce, repeatedly claiming that she wanted to become his wife.

Could it be that he wanted to deal with his relationship with Aria before marrying Joanna?

Before getting married, some men would passionately yearn for their

“unforgettable first love”. They might even indulge themselves before marriage, seeking opportunities to date or

even have sex with their exes.

“Joann, after all we’ve been through, why are you still doubting me? Or are you doubting my love for you?”

“No, I’m not doubting anything!” Joanna’s face turned cold.

“Davian, Irvin, are you all done eating?”

“Yes, we are.”

“Then hurry back to your room and finish your homework. When you’re done, take a shower and go to bed.”

The boys exchanged a glance and replied, “Okay, got it.”

“Lilia, hurry up and go for your physical therapy. Don’t be lazy now.”

“Okay, Mommy.”

Seeing that their mommy was angry, the children did not dare to dawdle.

Joanna rose to her feet and walked toward Devin’s bedroom.

She needed to calm down, and there was no way of doing that if she was in the

same room as Bruce.

Bruce sighed. He really wanted to tease her and explain to her.

But after thinking about it, he thought he was better off not explaining.

He really had business to deal with.

Indeed, only by solving all the tricky problems could he bring her happiness.

If he ended up failing the mission…

Whatever it was, he could not bear for Joanna to be widowed. As much as he was reluctant, he had already made

preparations in the event that he’d lose his life.

If that really happened, he would entrust Joanna to Jaydon.

Even though he hated Jaydon, he had to admit that Jaydon really loved Joanna. Moreover, Jaydon was an

outstanding and righteous man.

If Joanna married Jaydon, she would definitely be happy.

Of course, in terms of his assets, Bruce would make proper arrangements. He would provide trust funds for his four

children and Joanna. Even if Jaydon were to treat Joanna unfairly in the future, he would never allow Jaydon to

touch Joanna’s or the children’s assets.

However, after so many incidents, Bruce was sure that Jaydon was a good man. Presumably, Jaydon would treat

Joanna well.

In the blink of an eye, it was already ten o’clock in the evening.

Bruce waited in the bedroom for a long time, but Joanna did not come back.

It was obvious that she was giving him the silent treatment.

Swish!

His phone indicated that there was an incoming message,

Bruce’s heart tightened. He picked up his phone urgently.

He never carried his work phone with him after work. He would only take his personal phone with him.

The only ones who knew Bruce’s personal number were his close and most important business partners.

[Bruce, the organization is pressing us. How long will it take for you to settle your private matters?]

After reading the message, Bruce frowned and sent a message to Aria. [It will take at least another month before I

can go to Melta.]

Bruce hit the “send” button.

Phone in his hand, Bruce sat on the bed in a daze. His expression revealed a trace of gloom and worry.

He was still a little worried about Aria being alone in Melta.

It wasn’t that he had any romantic feelings for her.

It was just that he did not want to see Aria die in vain.

In the meanwhile, after putting the children to bed, Joanna returned to the room.

The bedroom door was open, and she saw Bruce staring blankly at his phone.

It was obvious that he had just been chatting with someone.

Bruce was not a very patient man.

If it was something related to work, he would not even glance at it after work hours. It had to be a private matter.

At the thought of this, Joanna’s heart skipped a beat. She pretended as if nothing had happened and walked in.

“Still awake?”

Bruce came back to his senses at the sound of her voice. “Honey, how am I supposed to fall sleep without you?”

As Bruce spoke, he hurriedly locked his phone and placed it on the bedside table. Joanna glanced at his phone and

asked, “Were you on the phone with someone?”

“Uh, no!”

“Well, you haven’t dropped your phone in a long time,” Joanna said as she picked up his phone.

She never had the habit of checking his phone.

It was not something she dared to do.

However, his phone never had a password. Throughout the year, he dropped so many phones that setting a

password would be too much trouble for him. But today, a password was set on his phone.
