The Return of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife by Zara Gibbon

Chapter 858

Bruce wanted to check if Joanna was flirting with other men behind his back.

Thinking about this, Bruce snorted.

He thought inwardly, “If I find out she has feelings for other men, even just a little bit, she will be in big trouble.”

Actually, Bruce also wanted to give his daughter a surprise. His daughter’s surgery was such a big deal, so he

naturally had to be present to accompany her.

It was very soon.

Andy called back. He asked, “Mr. Everett, the earliest flight is at four in the morning. Would you like to book it?”

“I want the fastest route. How long does this flight take?”

“Well. This is the fastest flight. It takes 11 hours.”

“Then book this flight.”

“Okay, Mr. Everett.”

Bruce planned to fly from Greyport to Palisrian City.

Due to different airlines and aircraft types, the fastest one took only 10 hours, while a slower option would take

around 15

hours.

Bruce checked the time. If he headed to the airport now, he would make it just in time.

By tomorrow afternoon, he should arrive at his destination.

Meanwhile, Joanna was at the hospital.

Lilia had completed a series of examinations.

“Doctor, how are the test results?”

Doctor Carl looked at various reports. “Well. They meet the requirements for the surgery.

“Now, we need to do some preoperative preparations. And the earliest we can schedule the surgery is on

Wednesday at 10 in the morning”.

Joanna asked in a low voice, “Wednesday? Isn’t that the day after tomorrow?”

“Yes.”

“Alright then.”

“Well. Now we can handle the hospital admission procedures.” After Doctor Carl finished speaking, he smiled at

Joanna gently.

“Lilian, go and take care of the admission procedures.”

Lilian nodded. “Okay, Miss Haynes.”

“Doctor, can we go back now? Is there anything else?”

The doctor nodded. “Of course, you can go back. You can just come here on the morning of the day after

tomorrow.”

“Okay. Thank you, doctor.”

Joanna politely bid farewell to the doctor and left the examination room with Lilia.

There was nothing to do today, so they could go back to the hotel.

“Sweetie, don’t be afraid, okay?”

Lilia smiled sweetly. “Okay. I won’t be afraid.”

“Is there anything you’d like to do? I can take you out to play tomorrow.”

When Lilia heard this, a hint of disappointment appeared on her cute little face. She said, “Well. I just miss Daddy a

little.

“It would be great if Daddy could be here with me for the surgery.”

Joanna rubbed her daughter’s head and said gently, “Well. Your daddy is busy with work now. So it might be another

two or three weeks before he can come.”

After hearing that, Lilia was a little disappointed. But she was very sensible.

“I know that Daddy has to work hard to earn money to support the family. Of course, I won’t blame him.

“I just miss Daddy a little.”

When Joanna heard this, she smiled with emotion.

It was often said that daughters were closer to their fathers. It was true.

Davian and Irvin were not so close to their daddy.

“Then let’s go. We’ll come back here on the morning of the day after tomorrow.”

“Alright.”

Actually, they had completed the hospital admission procedures.

However, the hospital’s conditions were still not as comfortable as the hotel’s.

They could continue to stay in the hotel today and tomorrow. On the morning of the day after tomorrow, they

would come to the hospital on time..

Then they were back at the hotel.

It was already past four in the afternoon.

“What do you want to eat tonight?” Joanna asked her daughter with concern.

After all, Lilia was going to undergo surgery the day after tomorrow. Joanna wanted to fulfill her daughter’s small

requests as much as possible.

Lilia thought for a moment. “Well. I’m not used to Gaprington’s cuisine. I still want to eat Flech cuisine.”

“Okay. Let me check if there’s a Flech cuisine restaurant nearby.”

As they were talking, something unexpected happened.

Suddenly, an attractive male voice came from ahead. “Hello.”

Joanna was stunned.

Then she looked up.

Prince Harman was standing in the small garden opposite her, gazing at her affectionately.

The hotel’s interior followed a resort villa management style, complete with a garden, a swimming pool, a

restaurant, and so

1.

The environment was very good.

“Are you greeting us?” Joanna subconsciously asked.

“Yes.” Prince Harman’s smile grew wider.

The bodyguards beside him seemed to have disappeared.

“Can we get to know each other?”

“Well.” Joanna’s eyes flickered when she heard that.

At first, she thought Prince Harman’s greetings were merely coincidental.

But now, she felt that Prince Harman might indeed have ulterior motives.

“I’m sorry, but I’m already married.” Joanna smiled and flashed the big diamond ring on her ring finger at him.

Actually, she and Bruce had not remarried yet.

However, the matter of the two of them remarrying was already set in stone. She didn’t want to complicate things

further or give any other man any hope.

Actually, Joanna didn’t like to wear jewelry.

But she couldn’t resist Bruce’s insistence and had to put on her wedding ring.

When Prince Harman heard this, he smiled awkwardly and replied in Antlenish, “Please don’t misunderstand. I just

want to be friends with you. I want to understand foreign cultures. I don’t mean anything else.”

When Joanna heard this, her face subconsciously turned red. It seemed that she was overthinking.

“Hello.” Joanna took the initiative to shake his hand.

If it was just about being friends, she was certainly open to it.

After all, he was the prince of Saumi Cradia. It was a good opportunity to be friends with the prince.

Prince Harman shook hands with Joanna gently. Then he took out a gold-plated business card from his pocket. “This

is my

business card. Please keep it.

“I’m very interested in foreign culture. I’m going to your country for an international exchange event in your

country in the latter half of the year.

“So, I wanted to get an early understanding of the local customs and culture.”

Prince Harman was very courteous.

“Welcome,” Joanna replied politely and took the business card from Prince Harman.

Prince Harman smiled warmly at her, with a glint of cunning in his eyes.

He thought inwardly, “This classic beauty said that she was married.

“However, I had already gotten someone to investigate her background. Most of what I found were news articles

portraying Joanna as someone who used any means necessary to climb the social ladder.”

Therefore, Prince Harman firmly believed that Joanna was a vain and ambitious woman.

Moreover, she had yet to remarry her ex-husband.

But none of that mattered to him. What he was interested in was Joanna’s beauty.

As long as Joanna was a vain woman, he was confident that he could win her over.

Men who enjoyed pursuing attractive women often preferred challenging conquests. The more difficult the target,

the greater their interest.

Seeing this foreign man trying to hit on her mommy again, Lilia was very displeased. She pouted and said, “Well.

Mommy, we should go back to our room.”

Joanna snapped out of it and said, “Goodbye.”

Prince Harman promptly added, “If you have time, we could have a coffee together and chat. I’m particularly

interested in finding a local guide from your country.”

“Well. How about this? This is my personal bodyguard and assistant. You can have her introduce you to our

country,” Joanna said and glanced at Tatiana.

Seeing this, Prince Harman smiled gently. “Alright then. Thank you very much.”

“Tatiana, explain the basic customs of our country to this gentleman.”

“Okay, Miss Haynes.”

Joanna smiled faintly and didn’t say anything else. Then she left with her daughter.

After that, they returned to their room.

Lilia still had a serious expression on her face. “Mommy, I knew that this foreign man would definitely have ulterior

motives toward you.

“Mommy, don’t fall for his tricks.”

“You little girl, what are you thinking at such a young age?” Joanna was a little worried.

Lilia knew too much.

This was not a good sign.

“Well. Mommy, I don’t want you to be with any man other than Daddy.”

“Don’t worry. I don’t have that much charm.”

As Joanna spoke, she took off her coat and prepared to change her clothes.

Lilia had already picked up the phone and was about to call her daddy to complain.

Then Lilia dialed the number.

“Hello. The number you have dialed is currently unavailable…” A voice came from the other end of the phone.

“Well, Why can’t I get through to Daddy’s phone?” Lilia asked.

“Your daddy might be at Mossbourne. Once he’s done with his business, he’ll definitely call us back,” Joanna said.

“Alright.”

After that, they finished dinner.

Joanna checked nearby attractions again and planned to take Lilia for a stroll tomorrow.

It was half past nine in the evening.

Most of them were getting ready for bed.

Joanna was in the bedroom.

After showering, Joanna applied a sheet mask and prepared to sleep.

She slept until midnight, in a drowsy state, when she heard a faint noise.

There was a rustling sound outside the door. It seemed that someone was fiddling with the lock on the door.

Joanna was a light sleeper. And any little noise could startle her awake.

Upon hearing the sounds, she instantly broke into a cold sweat and quickly strained her ears.

The sound of someone twisting the lock repeated once more.

There really was someone attempting to open her door.

However, Joanna had locked the door from the inside. So the intruder couldn’t open it right away. Then Joanna

asked, “Who’s there?”
