The Return of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife by Zara Gibbon

Chapter 386

“Jaydon, aren’t you too flippant in your choice of girlfriend?

“This Ms. Haynes is a famous person! Are you sure you want to marry her?” Grace Grimm said bluntly.

Jaydan Grimm’s expression changed at once.

Joanna also frowned and her nails subconsciously dug into her palm.

“Grace, how can you say that? This is your future second sister–in–law!”

Grace gave a scornful sneer and replied arrogantly, “Imph! I am not acquainted with any second sister–in–law.

Jaydon, your taste is getting worse.”

When Jaydon heard this, he was downright furious. He said icily, “Grace, if you continue to be so rude, I’m going to

get

angry.”

“Jay, Grace is still young. Don’t quibble with her on such trivial matters.”

Jaydon was not in the mood to say anything else. He subconsciously looked at Joanna. “Joann, don’t be angry…”

“I won’t be angry. After all, she’s just a child!” Joanna said and smiled at Jaydon.

Let these people say whatever they want!

Besides, she had heard worse things than that. Anyway, the person she was marrying was Jaydon Grimm, not his

family.

Moreover, in her view, she was only marrying Jaydon to repay him.

As they were talking…

Tim Grimm came out of the room upstairs. Behind him was his new wife, a beautiful girl in her twenties.

“Don’t talk so much. Dad’s coming down.”

Jaydon adjusted his expression and went forward to greet the older man. “Dad.”

Tim seemed very happy to see Joanna. He patted Jaydon’s shoulder affectionately. “Jay, you’re back!”

“Mm–hmm!”

Joanna also went forward to greet the older man politely. “Hello, Mr. Grimm!”

“Mm–hmm. Join us for a meal!”

“Sure!”

Once Tim had spoken, no one dared to say anything else.

In the Grimm family’s dining hall, everyone sat around the long table.

It felt like some kind of reunion party.

Tim liked lively atmospheres. Usually, when he ate, he would have his whole family with him.

The food was apportioned beforehand, and the servants would serve each plate to everyone.

As for Joanna, this was the first time she was eating at the same table with so many people.

During the entire meal, she felt as if her back was drenched in sweat.

After the meal, Tim summoned Jaydon and Joanna to the study.

After all, his son was getting married. As a father, he naturally had to give his blessings.

“Jay, since you and Joanna are getting married, you have to get along well with each other in the future! This is a

small gift 1 prepared for you. I wish you two a happy marriage.”

As Tim spoke, he handed a bank card to his son.

“There are 20 million dollars in this card’s account. Take it as my wedding gift to you two. Use it to invest or buy a

house. Do whatever you want. This is my small token to you two.”

No gift was as practical as money, so Tim chose to prepare some money for his son.

Jaydon took the bank card. “Thank you, Dad”

Tim turned to look at Joanna and said happily, “As for my daughter–in–law–to–be, I have also prepared a gift for

you.”

With that, Tim gestured to the servant beside him as he smoked his cigar.

The servant beside him immediately brought the gift box that had been prepared earlier to Joanna. “This is Mr. Tim

Chapter 386

Grimm’s welcome gift for you.”

“Thank you!” Joanna’s heart tensed up as she thanked the older man cautiously.

“Open it and take a look!”

“Oh, okay.”

Joanna opened the gift box carefully.

Inside the gift box was a diamond necklace. The pendant was a huge blue sapphire.

Upon seeing this, Joanna’s eyes darkened abruptly. This was the Blue Enchantress that was auctioned off last year.

Its value exceeded 10 million dollars.

Joanna did not expect Tim to be so generous to her when she had not even married into the Grimm family yet.

“Oh, thank you, Mr. Grimm!”

“Haha! I’m already old. I may not be able to help much with your wedding! You guys can do whatever you want. If

you need to prepare anything, just tell the butler to choose the best.”

“Thanks, Dad.”

After you get married, you have to settle your heart down. Get along well with each other.”

“I know!” It was rare for Jaydon to be so satisfied with his father’s provision.

Tim took another puff of his cigar. “Mm–hmm. Since you two are getting married, come home and stay with us.

“You’ve been wandering outside for so long. It’s time for you to come home. I’m getting old. I hope to have you

guys by my

side.”

Jaydon frowned when he heard that. “Dad, I still want to make a name for myself outside.”

Tim was taken aback, but he still sighed deeply. “Alright! No matter what you do, I will always support you.”

Anyway, he had many sons, so he did not need to count on Jaydon to be his successor.

Tim gave a few more simple instructions before leaving.

Downstairs, everyone was indignant.

“Is Dad out of his mind? Jaydon married a second–hand woman. Not only did Dad not object, but he even prepared

such an expensive gift for her.” Grace grumbled.

“That’s right. I don’t know what Jay is thinking either. There are so many decent young ladies from prestigious

families. Why did he have to pick a piece of second–hand goods?”

“This woman Ms. Haynes is not as simple as she appears. I heard that her ex–husband is Bruce Everett!”

“Who cares who her ex–husband is? If she wants to marry into our Grimm family, she has to abide by our Grimm

family’s rules.”

In the study, Jaydon asked Joanna with a smile, “Joann, what do you think?”

He was worried that Joanna could not get used to it.

Joanna smiled. “Pretty good!”

“There are so many people in my family. I was worried that you wouldn’t be able to take it.”

“It’s fine. After all, they’re your elders. They can say whatever they want!”

“It’s good as long as you’re not angry!”

“I won’t get angry so easily!”

“That’s great!”

“Then let’s go out!”

“Mm–hmm!”

Jaydon and Joanna returned to the living room again.

“Oh, we didn’t prepare any gifts for you. After all, we didn’t know whether Jay was joking?”

Joanna gave a laugh. “It’s okay!”

Yvette Grimm took off the necklace on her neck resentfully and said perfunctorily, “I’ll give you this pearl

necklace!”

“It’s so precious. It’s better that you keep it!”

Chapter 386

“Ms. Haynes, are you looking down on my gift?”

“Oh, no, no. I just don’t want to snatch what others like! The things that you carry by your side must be Madam

Yvette. It’s not good to give this to me now!”

Yvette was so angry that her expression changed at once.

Beep! Beep! Beep!

your favorites,

Right at this moment, Jaydon’s phone rang. He picked up his phone and saw that it was a call from Carmel Basil.

Jaydon’s expression changed at once. He immediately said, “Joann, I have to take this call!”

“Mm–hmm.”

‘Hello…”

On the other end of the line, Carmel gave a laugh. “Mr. Grimm, congratulations!”

Jaydon frowned. “Why did you call me?”

“Nothing much. I just miss you!”

“Why are you looking for me? If there’s nothing. I’m ending the call!”

“Hey, don’t end the call yet. I need to see you regarding some urgent matter!”

“What is it?”

“I can only tell you when I meet you in person.”

“What on earth is it?”

“I told you. I’ll tell you when I meet up with you.”

Jaydon was even more flustered. “I don’t have time to meet up with you now. Don’t call me during this period”

“Are you so heartless?”

“What on earth is the matter? If there’s nothing. I’m ending the call!” Jaydon sounded a little impatient.

He was going to marry Joanna now. At this juncture, he did not want any complications!

“Mr. Grimm, I think I’m pregnant!”

Boom!

Jaydon felt as if he had been struck by lightning!

“What did you say? Say that again?”

“I said. I think I’m pregnant. It’s almost one month now!”

When Jaydon heard this, he felt his heart turning cold. “How is that possible? When we’re together, I used

contraceptive measures every time.”

“Even if you used a condom, it can’t 100% prevent pregnancy! What do you think we should do now? Anyway, I’m

pregnant!” “I’ll give you a sum of money. Look for a place to abort the child.”

“Huh? I don’t want to! I need to see you.”

“Tomorrow afternoon then. Don’t call me during this period.”

“Alright! I’ll wait for you.”

After he ended the call, Jaydon’s expression was extremely unsightly.

This outcome was… How could Carmel Basil possibly be pregnant?

“Jay, what’s wrong?”

“No… Nothing… Jaydon braced himself and forced a smile, but inwardly, he felt so awful that it seemed like his

heart had been scratched by a cat.

When she saw his odd reaction, Joanna felt even more puzzled. “What happened exactly?”

“Everything is fine, honest!”

“Is everything really fine?”

“Mm–hmm. Er… It’s getting late. Let’s go back first!”

Joanna was surprised momentarily.

Chapter 386

Before coming. Jaydon said that he had planned for them to stay here for a few days.

Why did he suddenly decide to go back again?

“I’ll go say goodbye to Dad!”

“Oh, okay!”

“Let’s go!”
