Chapter 525
“Did you miss me?” Bruce smiled mischievously. He stared at her, eyes glazed with desire.
In response, Joanna merely rolled her eyes.
“I miss you so much every night that I can’t sleep. Do you feel the same as me?” Bruce asked.
Joanna rolled her eyes again. “Pervert!”
Bruce smiled evilly at her. “I’m just expressing my true feelings. How am 1 a pervert?”
After saying that, he smiled even more wickedly at her.
From the beginning to the end, Bruce was not a good man, much less an upright gentleman who practiced
abstinence.
On the contrary, Bruce was a man with a complicated personality. He was a domineering, cunning, and scheming
man. He would rather betray the world than let anyone betray him.
Of course, he did not care to be a righteous gentleman.
“Can we not talk about this?” Joanna frowned.
Bruce looked indifferent. “If we don’t talk about this, what should we talk about?
“Hurry up and tell me, how much do you miss me? I think about you every moment.”
Joanna was completely speechless. “How mushy! I’ve really got to hand it to you! You’re already in the detention
center, yet you still have the mood to think about that.”
Bruce felt very scornful. I am a normal man. It would be abnormal if I didn’t think about women.”
Upon hearing that, Joanna truly had no words.
“Fine! What you said sounds reasonable.” Joanna was too lazy to argue with him. Bruce was already in the
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtdetention center, and there was no telling when he would be released. She would let him have fun with his words.
“I went to inspect the Green Bay project today!” Joanna said.
Bruce froze before making a sound of acknowledgment. “How is it?” he asked.
Joanna answered, “Someone complained that we had illegally seized land for the project, so it’s been called off.
“Today, I went over to understand the situation. Donald told me about some problems that we currently have. He
said that there was a problem with getting the approval for the land reclamation. Additionally, there are several
ancient tombs discovered at the construction site.
“Now, there’s a group of archeologists who insist on building an archeological base. They claim that they want to
protect the ancient tombs, but I feel that they’re deliberately causing trouble.
“Donald said that it’s already been resolved, but everyone is on their annual leave now. We can only deal with the
relevant departments next year.”
When Bruce heard this, he stroked his chin. “Okay. It’s not a big problem. With Donald around to help you, you don’t
have to worry too much.”
Bruce acknowledged Donald’s ability.
Joanna narrowed her eyes in sadness. She said softly. “It’s almost Christmas. Take good care of yourself.”
“Okay. Don’t worry about me. I’ll be fine,” Bruce said.
Through the glass window, they gazed deeply into each other’s eyes.
Time gradually passed.
In the blink of an eye, visiting hours were about to end.
The desire in Bruce’s eyes vanished. In its place was a deep longing. A deep look came over his face.
“Honey, I love you so much.
“Do you love me? I really want to hear you say that you love me.”
When Joanna heard this, she tsked.
She could not bring herself to say such mushy stuff.
After holding it in for a while, Joanna replied, “We’re already an old married couple. It’s too mushy to talk about this
every day.”
Chapter 525
An old married couple.
He liked this form of address. At least, Joanna still treated him as her husband.
Joanna suddenly remembered something important. “By the way, there’s something else that I want to tell you!”
“What is it?” Bruce leaned close to the glass window and looked at her affectionately.
Joanna hesitated for a moment before deciding to tell him what Jennie had said.
What if Bruce was willing?
If Jennie could get Bruce out, Joanna was willing to leave this relationship and give them her blessing.
“Well, Jennie came to see me,” Joanna said.
Bruce immediately knew what Joanna was going to say.
He snorted. “She said that she had a way to get me out of here, right?”
Joanna’s eyes widened in shock.
“She came to you, too?” she asked.
Bruce said mercilessly, “Ignore her. She’s out of her mind.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Did she tell you the same thing?” Joanna pressed him for an answer.
“Honey, just ignore whatever she says.” Bruce smiled bitterly.
Joanna countered, “But what if she really has a way?
“If she can really save you, I can agree to her request…”
Upon hearing that, a dark look came over Bruce’s face. “What do you mean by that?”
“What I mean is, if she can really get you out of here, I’m willing to give you two my blessing.” Joanna replied.
Bruce’s face fell. “What do you mean by that?”
Joanna paused, not knowing what to say.
Bruce said. “Joanna, I’ll tell you one last time. Apart from me, don’t trust what anyone else says.
“Do you understand?”
“Yes” Joanna nodded.
As they were speaking, the guard walked in.
“Visiting time is over!” he said.
Joanna stood up. She said with a melancholy expression. “Then I’ll leave first, Bruce. I’ll visit you again in a few
days.”
“Okay. Bring Lilia along with you too. I miss her,” Bruce remarked.
“I will. The children miss you too,” Joanna said.
After Joanna finished speaking, she walked out of the conference room, turning back repeatedly to look at Bruce.
Bruce also watched her until her figure completely disappeared. Only then did he withdraw his gaze.
“Mr. Everett, it’s time to return to the cell,” the guard said.
Bruce stood up silently and walked toward the cell.
