The Return of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife by Zara Gibbon

Chapter 229

Joanna Haynes ate a few more mouthfuls until she could not eat anymore!

Due to her pregnancy, she did not have much of an appetite.

Seeing that she was not eating anymore, Bruce Everett asked with concern, “Why don’t you eat more?”

“1. I’m already full”

“Mommy, aren’t you going to eat this cake?” Irvin Haynes pointed at the cake and asked.

Joanna only managed to force herself to eat a small piece of the cake.

“You guys can have it Joanna said while rubbing Irvin’s head.

Tll bring it back for Lilia to eat then. She loves cakes”

“Alright, remember to brush your teeth after dinner. Otherwise, you will have to go to the dentist if you get cavities

and it would hurt

“Got it, mommy!

Joanna felt a little guilty. All she wanted was for Bruce to leave quickly.

I’m a little tired now I think I’m going to sleep!”

When Bruce heard this, he did not suspect anything else. Then rest well! I’ll bring the children back first!”

“Alright! I will

“Davian, Irvin, let’s go

“Bye, mommy! The two boys waved happily at Joanna.

“Goodbye, darlings!” Joanna also waved back at her two sons!

Seeing that she still had no intention of asking him to stay, Bruce left with the children in displeasure.

Her body was so weak now and she was also pregnant so he did not dare to stay. He was afraid that he would not

be able to control himself and touch her!

After Bruce and the children had left!

Joanna heaved a sigh of relief and quickly took out the phone!

It was a children’s smartwatch, the kind worn on the wrist. The screen was small and had a GPS function. It could

also be

used to make calls!

Joanna pressed the call function and thought for a moment before calling Jaydon Grimm!

Beep, beep, beep!

The call went through quickly!

Jaydon quickly answered the call. “Hello?”

“Hello, Jay, it’s me!”

When he heard Joanna’s voice, Jaydon was a little excited as he asked, “Joann, are you alright? I tried calling you

but why

Chapter 229

can’t I get through to you? Where are you now?”

Jaydon asked a few questions in a row. He had been worried sick for the past few days!

“I’ve been at the Reagan No. 8 Residence! Bruce Everett restricted my freedom, and my phone was confiscated by

him!”

Jaydon frowned when he heard Joanna’s words. Then what should we do now? I’ll call the police right now!”

Joanna quickly stopped him. “Don’t bother calling the police. There’s no use!”

“Damn that Bruce Everett. What is that bastard going to do to you now?”

“Jay, don’t ask so much. Have you been to the factory in Mossbourne recently? Have you gone over to take a look?”

“… Oh, I haven’t gone over to take a look yet! I’ve been looking for you everywhere these past few days and

haven’t had the time to go to Mossbourne!”

“Then hurry up and check on the factory there tomorrow. I won’t be able to get out of here for a while! Someone

has to take care of things at the factory!”

She had used almost all her savings to build the factory in Mossbourne. As such, she was extremely anxious since it

has been quite a few days since anyone checked on the factory.

“I got it. I’ll make a trip there tomorrow!”

“Thank you. A while back, I found a streamer to sell the goods and all the inventory has been cleared! Remember

to ask if the money has been transferred!”

“It’s also almost the end of the year so help me organize the employees‘ annual leaves.

“Alright, I understand!”

Joanna continued to explain the other matters regarding the factory.

Now that it was the end of the year, there were many things to deal with.

Jaydon was now the second–largest shareholder of the factory! In her absence, he had to take care of things on her

behalf.

“That’s good. I can rest assured now that you’re handling these!”

Mr. Roger, Mr. Paul, and the others could take care of the company in Greyport. If worse comes to worst, there was

also Bruce Everett so she didn’t have to worry too much.

Instead, she was more worried about the factory in Mossbourne.

Joanna heaved a sigh of relief after she finished giving Jaydon the instructions.

Jaydon was more worried about her safety. He asked, “Then what are you going to do?”

Joanna thought for a moment before answering. I haven’t thought of a good solution yet!”

“If I leave now, Bruce Everett will definitely go crazy again!”

“Joann, I’m so worried about you! I’d better call the police!” Jaydon did not know how he could comfort Joanna!

If it were anyone else holding Joanna hostage, he would definitely be able to think of a way to save her!

But now, he was facing Bruce Everett!

There was no way he could win.

“You don’t have to worry about me. He won’t do anything to me!” Joanna comforted Jaydon instead.

Just as she was speaking, there was a knock on the bedroom door.

“Jay, someone’s coming. I’m hanging up!”

“Okay!”

Joanna was afraid someone would discover her talking on the phone so she quickly hung up.

Right after she hung up the call, there was another knock on the door!

“Please come in!”

Ms. Chain pushed the door open and walked in. “Ms. Haynes, it’s time to take your medicine!”

“Oh, okay!”

Ms. Chain prepared the medicine to help with the pregnancy and the vitamins before handing them to Joanna. She

also handed Joanna a glass of water!

Joanna took the medicine and placed it in her mouth before swallowing it with a mouthful of water!

She had been quiet and cooperative for the past few days!

Hence, the maids did not monitor her as strictly as they did two days ago!

Joanna finished the medicine quickly!

Ms. Chain then cleaned up after her before leaving. “Goodnight, Ms. Haynes!”

“Goodnight!”

Joanna lay on the bed again and began to think about her next problem!

Bruce Everett told her to let go of everything and stay here until she gave birth!

However, it had only been one month into her pregnancy!

After giving birth and going through confinement, a year would have passed.

By then, many things would have happened! How could she stay here in peace?

“No, no, I can’t stay here like this! I have to think of a way to get out of here!”

Joanna thought for a long time but could not think of a good solution!

However, she could not leave this place rashly either. Given, Bruce Everett’s personality, he would definitely take

revenge on her!

When that tine comes, who knows what crazy things he would do?

Thinking of this, Joanna became even more distraught!

On the other hand!

Bruce rushed back to the Everett mansion with the two boys.

In the car!

Irvin was still chattering non–stop!

Chapter 229

He was a chatterbox with a somewhat strange and outgoing personality. His personality was the exact opposite of

Davian’s!

Davian was extremely against Bruce but on the other hand, Irvin had more admiration for Bruce!

“Davian, when did you give the phone to Mommy? I didn’t see you give it at all!” Irvin accidentally blurted.

“Shh!” Davian’s face fell as he quickly gestured for him to shut up.

“Oh!” Irvin immediately reacted and hurriedly covered his mouth!

When his brother told him this secret, he specifically told him that their father cannot find out.

However, he was too excited just now and forgot about it.

He hoped that his father did not hear him.

Bruce’s heart sank as he overheard what Irvin had said!

“My dear son, what phone were you talking about?”

Irvin panicked and quickly shook his head as he stuttered, “No, nothing!”

Bruce carried Irvin onto his lap and smiled gently at him. “It’s not good for children to lie. You have to tell daddy the

truth!”

“It’s really nothing!” Irvin’s gaze wavered for a moment before he quickly shook his head and denied it.

It was really a slip of the tongue just now. He didn’t want to betray his brother!

Bruce’s face darkened as he ordered, “Hurry up and tell daddy!”

“If you dare to lie to daddy, daddy won’t like you anymore!”

It was Bruce’s first time being a father as well.

Therefore, he didn’t know how to get along with children and he had no knowledge about educating them.

When Irvin heard this, he turned around to look at his brother innocently.

Davian said angrily, “No, Irvin, you can’t tell him!”

“If you don’t tell daddy the truth, daddy will send you overseas to study tomorrow!”

“In the future, you won’t be able to see mommy anymore!”

When the two boys heard this, they immediately panicked. They looked at each other nervously.

“Are you going to tell daddy what phone you guys were talking about just now?” Bruce kept pushing the two boys.

After all, the two boys were only four years old. How could they withstand Bruce’s intense interrogation?

In the end, Irvin confessed truthfully, “Um, mommy asked Davian to bring her a phone!”

“What?” Bruce’s eyes widened when he heard that.

“Did you bring it then?”

“I… I didn’t!” Davian still wanted to deny it.

When Bruce heard this, his face immediately turned as cold as ice!

“Driver, turn around and go back to Reagan No. 8 Residence!”

“Yes, Mr. Everett!” The driver immediately turned the car around and drove back to Reagan No. 8 Residence.

“Daddy, please don’t be angry! Please don’t blame Davian as well, okay…”

“Daddy is not angry!” Bruce replied gloomily.

He knew that the children didn’t know anything.

He was angry with the adult instead!

How dare Joanna make use of the children to bring her a phone. No wonder she had asked him to personally buy

her porridge. It turned out that she wanted to send him away!
