The Return of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife by Zara Gibbon

Chapter 1084

“Ah!” Bruce winced as Joanna bit him hard on the lip.

Joanna took the opportunity to push him away and rolled out of bed. “I told you I haven’t been feeling well recently.

Let’s sleep in separate rooms.”

Before Bruce could react, Joanna had already shuffled out of the bedroom in her slippers.

Joann…” Bruce hurriedly got up and wanted to follow her.

Joanna had already walked out of the bedroom and closed the door.

Then, she went straight to the second bedroom.

Bruce looked at Joanna’s departing figure in frustration. He had to restrain himself from acting impulsively.

Although his memory was somewhat jumbled, he knew that he and Joanna had a strong bond. He couldn’t

understand why she was pushing him away now.

Then Joanna came to the second bedroom.

She locked the door. And her heart was still pounding..

After confirming that Bruce would not come in, she walked to the bed in a daze. She thought inwardly, “No. It can’t

go on

like this.

“I need to find Bruce as soon as possible. I need to go to Melta as soon as possible.”

However, she needed a reasonable excuse to go to Melta.

Especially since she couldn’t easily expose Bruce’s identity now. She couldn’t do that until she found the real Bruce.

Joanna pondered for a while.

She realized that the only suitable excuse seemed to be helping her child find a school.

She thought inwardly, “Yes. That’s the perfect excuse. This way, not only will he not suspect anything, but nobody

else will either.”

The next day arrived.

After Joanna woke up, Bruce and the children were already waiting for her in the dining room for breakfast.

“Good morning, Mommy.”

“Good morning, darlings.”

“Eh? Mommy, did you not sleep well again?”

“Yeah. Mommy, you have dark circles under your eyes.”

“Mommy, did you have a conflict with Daddy again?” Lilia asked carefully.

Joanna smiled and comforted the children. She replied, “No.”

Bruce’s eyes were filled with guilt. “Ilurry up and eat breakfast. It’ll get cold later.”

Joanna sat down nervously. “Well, I want to talk to you about something. After Christmas, I’m going to take the

children to Melta

“Go to Melta? Why?” Bruce looked at Joanna in confusion.

Joanna frowned and said hesitantly, “Well, I still think it’s better for the children to study abroad.

“Although the education and teaching staff in our country are good, I still want our children to receive education

abroad.

“When they reach high school, we can have them come back to Greyport.”

After hearing that, Bruce frowned and looked at Joanna in confusion.

Davian also looked puzzled. “Mommy, we are doing well in our studies here. Why do we need to go abroad?”

Because too many people here know you. Moreover, Irvin’s desire for comparison and vanity is too strong.

“Therefore, I want to give you a new environment by sending you to study abroad. Once you are there, nobody will

know you, and you can study like ordinary children. The teachers won’t treat you differently, which will be beneficial

for your personal growth.”

When Davian and Irvin heard this, their faces were filled with unwillingness.

They were popular figures at school and well-liked by everyone..

After all, they were Bruce’s sons. Not to mention the teachers and classmates, even the principal greeted them

with a smile.

“Mommy, we don’t want to study abroad.”

Joanna looked serious. “No. You have to go even if you don’t want to. After Christmas, I will start looking for schools

for you. Once I find a suitable one, you will transfer directly to study there.”

“What? So soon? Mommy…” The two little kids were instantly unhappy.

“Mommy, what about Lilia? Is she going too?”

Joanna paused for a few seconds. “Lilia and Devin will also go abroad to study.

“Lilia hasn’t recovered yet. We’ll decide when to go after she recovers completely. Devin is still too young, so I’ll

send the two of you abroad first.”

“Do we really have to go?” Irvin asked with a pout.

“Yes. You have to go. Be mentally prepared, as there won’t be much time left.”

“Alright then.” The two little kids did not dare to refuse when they saw Joanna being so strict.

Bruce frowned. “Joann, why did you suddenly want to send the children overseas to study?”

“I told you just now. Too many people in the country know them. The teachers and classmates show them too much

special

treatment.

“Besides, the media reporters keep stalking and sneaking photos, which is detrimental to their growth.

“Moreover, their values might be influenced. The driver told me that kids in their school are already comparing

whose parents have better cars. This can’t go on like this.” Joanna looked more and more stern as she spoke.

Children’s education needed to be taken seriously from an early age, especially their outlook on life and values.

Once they were formed, it was difficult to change.

It was not that the education in the country was not good, but many children were indeed affected by this

comparison and vanity.

This was not just a problem with the children and schools. It was a societal problem that perpetuated the cycle.

Then Bruce frowned and did not say anything else.

“Alright then. After Christmas, I’ll go with you.”

Hearing that, Joanna looked at Bruce with a mix of emotions in her eyes.

The main reason she went to Melta was to find the real Bruce. It was obviously inconvenient to bring him along.

But leaving him at home posed a risk. If he had ill intentions, it could lead to disastrous consequences.

After all, everyone now thought that he was Bruce.

If he were to commit any illegal acts under Bruce’s identity, the consequences would be unimaginable.

“Sure, After Christmas, we’ll go to Melta together.” Joanna smiled.

Even though she was very unwilling, she didn’t have a better option.

“Alright.” Bruce smiled.

“We’re full now. And we’ll go out.”

“You’re full so soon?”

“Well, I’ll be going abroad for studies soon. And suddenly I feel quite heavy-hearted. I want to bid farewell to my

classmates,” Irvin said gloomily.

Davian and Irvin went to call their classmates. And Lilia went to do training.

Then the children left.

Bruce subconsciously looked at Joanna. “Joann, I’m sorry for last night. I was too impulsive.

“Forgive me. I won’t do that again.”

Joanna’s eyes darkened. And she did not say anything else.

She thought inwardly, “Actually, he wasn’t wrong.

“However…”

Bruce hugged Joanna’s waist tenderly and said gently, “Let’s not sleep in separate rooms tonight. I promise you

that as long

don’t agree, I won’t force you.”

as you

Joanna subconsciously wanted to escape from his embrace. “I’ve been having nightmares these past few days and

haven’t been sleeping well. I want to sleep alone for a few days, okay?

“Once I feel better, we can sleep together again.”

“Alright,” Bruce replied. He didn’t know what to say. He looked gloomy.

He had no idea what he did wrong.

He was even less sure why Joanna was so cold to him.

Although he was a clone, his nervous system and memories were replicated from Bruce’s memories. However, due

to time and resource limitations during the memory replication process, some bugs occurred. As a result, Bruce’s

memories weren’t entirely copied oyer, leaving many gaps.

However, he believed himself to be Bruce.

At the same time, Aria was currently in Melta.

Leo said worriedly, “Aria, this is a signal sent by the Eprary agents.

“Besides, Mr. Thompson has dispatched four colleagues to assist us.”

“Eprary agents? What do they want?” Aria’s face darkened.

Leo nodded. “They want to join forces with us to investigate the truth behind District 17”

Aria’s expression froze, and her eyes were filled with hesitation.

Now, it was not just them investigating District 17.

Eprary agents and Intria agents were also secretly investigating District 17.

However, this was Melta after all. It was not so easy to shake it.

The Melta military department was not to be trifled with either. This place couldn’t be easily turned upside down

with just a few agents.

That was impossible and unrealistic.

This was a secret war between countries. It could not be dealt with openly. Otherwise, there would be no need for

the Security Bureau, the Secrecy Bureau, and the Special Affairs Bureau.

Their mission was to solve problems that the country could not solve openly.

Though each of them was formidable, they were not on their home turf. Their actions were still restricted, and their

individual powers were too weak.

If they worked together, their chances of success would be greater.

“I think we can meet and have a good talk,” Aria said.
