The Return of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife by Zara Gibbon

Chapter 369

Joanna Haynes was at a complete loss for words and could not be bothered to rebut Bruce Everett. She simply

lowered her head and kissed the top of her daughter’s head.

After not seeing the little girl for so long, Joanna was most worried about her daughter. After all, her daughter’s

health had always been poor.

Lilia was still very thin and weak. Her skin was so pale that it was almost transparent. Her thin wrist looked like it

could be broken with a gentle snap!

“Baby, why have you lost so much weight again?” Joanna’s face was filled with heartache. She did not even dare to

use too much force when she pinched her daughter’s tiny hand.

Lilia raised her tiny face that was as pretty as a flower and looked at Joanna adorably. “Mommy, is what Daddy said

earlier

true?

“Is your boyfriend Mr. Grimm?”

“Er…” Joanna’s eyes sank. “Baby, children shouldn’t ask about the affairs of adults!”

Irvin was quick–witted and chimed in. “It must be Mr. Grimm! Mr. Grimm has been courting Mommy for a long

time.”

When Lilia heard this, a hint of displeasure appeared on her tiny face. She shook Joanna’s arm and begged,

“Mommy. although Mr. Grimm is quite nice, I still don’t want him to be our Daddy!”

“Silly, there’s only one Daddy! Even if Mr. Grimm marries Mommy, we can’t call him Daddy!”

Joanna frowned and did not know what to say.

Bruce leaned against the seat arrogantly and corrected his daughter. “My good baby, other than Daddy, you

mustn’t say

other men are nice!”

“Okay!”

Joanna lowered her eyelids and changed the topic. “Bruce, when do you plan to send Lilia for surgery?”

When Bruce heard this, he frowned and thought for a few seconds. “She may have to wait until next year!

“This year, we have to go through all kinds of tests in the country first. I intend to bring Lilia to Gaprington for

surgery in March next year.”

“Mm–hmm. Alright!”

An hour later, at Sherane Bay Villa.

The Rolls–Royce stretch limousine drove into the villa courtyard of Sherane Bay Villa and stopped in front of the

luxuriant green lawn.

The servant at the door respectfully opened the car door. “Good day, Mr. Everett. Good day, Ms. Haynes.”

“Yay, we’re finally home! Home is still the most comfortable!” Irvin eagerly got out of the car and played happily on

the lawn.

The children had been living here for half a year and were already used to life in the luxurious mansion.

Sherane Bay Villa was a top–notch luxurious mansion that resembled a castle externally.

There was a garden, a swimming pool, and a children’s playground. At the back of the garden, a small private

horse riding arena had been built as well.

The children had just learned how to ride horses and were especially interested in equestrian skills. During this

period when they were in Surbano, they were almost bored to death.

“Let’s get out of the car,” Bruce looked at Joanna and said casually.

Joanna hesitated and did not move. “I… I’d better go back first!”

When Bruce heard this, he clicked his tongue reproachfully. “Joanna, it’s meaningless if you do this!

“Are you afraid that I’ll eat you? You haven’t been with the children for so long. Shouldn’t you spend some time with

them?”

“Mommy, I won’t let you go.” Lilia hugged Joanna’s neck petulantly.

Joanna looked troubled. She placated her daughter gently, “My good baby, Mommy will come and visit all of you in

two days.”

“No, I want to be with Mommy. Mommy, please don’t go!” Lilia hugged Joanna’s neck tightly and refused to let go.

Tears of anguish welled up in her eyes.

“Mommy, don’t go, please?” Davian and Irvin also walked up and pleaded pitifully.

Joanna’s heart ached terribly when she heard them!

It wasn’t that she didn’t want to accompany the children, but she was afraid of Bruce Everett.

Bruce Everett, this vile bastard. He was too used to pestering her relentlessly. If she stayed, she would probably be

pestered by him endlessly.

Lilia cried anxiously. “Mommy, don’t go! I don’t want to be separated from Mommy. Hoo hoo hoo…”

Davian and Irvin also grabbed Joanna’s arms with all their might, afraid that she would leave. “Mommy, you’re not

allowed to leave!”

Joanna could only bite the bullet helplessly and got out of the car. “Good baby, don’t cry. Then… Mommy will play

with you guys for a while longer.”

“Yay! That’s great!”

Joanna carried Lilia while Davian and Irvin led the way up front Itappily. Bruce brought up the rear.

The courtyard was huge. It took them live minutes to reach the living room.

“Welcome home, Mr. Everett, Welcome home, Mr. Davian, Mr. Irvin and Miss Lilia” The servants lined up in two rows

and bowed respectfully.

The group entered the living room.

The interior was so big that one could not see the end of it. The Ecostanian–style palace decoration looked luxurious

and grand.

Lilia opened the small bag on her back and took out a picture book “Mommy, look! This is the family portrait I drew!

“This is Mommy, this is Daddy, this is Davian, this is Irvin, and this is me.”

There were five cartoon–like characters in the drawing. Although the drawing was crooked and very abstract, each

character was grinning from car to car.

When Joanna saw it, she smiled until her eyes looked like upturned ares. “Oh! Baby, you’re so awesome. You drew it

so well.”

“Davian and Irvin taught me to draw this! They even taught me how to make handicrafts and cut little frogs and

fold paper airplanes.”

Joanna patted Lilia’s head and then patted the heads of Davian and Irvin as well. She praised them, “You two

brothers are awesome. All three of you are awesome.”

Davian sat beside Joanna joyously. “Mommy, we want to eat your dumplings!”

“Mommy, can you make dumplings for us today?”

“Sure!”

“Yay! That’s great. We can get to eat Mommy’s dumplings.” The three little fellows cheered enthusiastically.

Joanna glanced at the servant beside her and asked, “Lilian, please prepare boiled potatoes and chopped onions!”

Lilian bowed slightly with a professional smile on her lips. “Miss Haynes, the kitchen has all these ingredients!”

“Okay, thanks.”

“Then I’ll borrow the kitchen for a while.”

“Miss Haynes, this way please.”

“Mm–hmm.”

“My babies, Mommy will go and make dumplings for you now. Be good and wait for a while, okay!”

“Okay, Mommy.”

Joanna smiled and followed Lilian to the kitchen.

After a short while, Joanna arrived at the kitchen.

The kitchen was exceptionally large. There was a long marble counter and an entire row of high–end kitchen

utensils. There were also two huge refrigerators placed side by side which were filled with all kinds of precious

ingredients.

There were also quite a few chefs working for the Everett family. One specialized in ethnic cuisine while the other

specialized in western cuisine. Another was a pastry chef whose specialty was making desserts.

Joanna opened the fridge and took out some cheese, butter, and sour cream.

She rummaged through the fridge contents again and found that all the ingredients she needed were available.

Joanna placed the boiled potatoes and cheese into the mixer and mixed them up. Then she added the onions

sauteed with

butter to the mixture as well as various seasonings. Finally, she added the sour cream and some herbs before

stirring the whole mixture evenly to make the pierogi filling.

The dough wrappers had already been made by the servant concurrently, so now they were ready to wrap the

dumplings.

Joanna busied herself in the kitchen.

Bruce had changed into a casual white sweatshirt and walked into the kitchen.

Although he was the owner of this place, this was the first time he came into the kitchen. If it wasn’t because

Joanna was in the kitchen, he probably wouldn’t even step into this place for the rest of his life.

“Making dumplings for the children?” Bruce asked caustically.
