Chapter 479
“Mr. Everett, please say something! Have you resigned as president…“
The car was slowly driving out of the garage. The reporters followed it out of the parking lot. Even if they could only
take at photo of the side profile of the person involved, this kind of news would still attract a lot of traffic.
Andy came into the office and replied, “Mr. Everett, the reporters have been lured away!”
“Okay, got it.”
“Honey, let’s go!” Bruce smiled dotingly.
Joanna tried to retort, but in the end, she held it in. Moreover, she was in a hurry to go home, not in the mood to
argue with
him.
When they came out of the staff passageway, Bruce drove a backup car!
Joanna got into the passenger seat. After she fastened her seatbelt, she could not help but massage her sore waist
and neck. “I’m so tired!”
After Bruce started the car, he glanced at her. “Are you tired? I’ll give you a massage when we get back.”
Joanna rolled her eyes and thought that he was just saying it casually and he didn’t really mean it.
A man like him, who had his hands full and his food open, was born to enjoy life. How could he wait on others?
Bruce drove out of the underground garage, turned the steering wheel, and drove towards the suburbs.
Joanna thought that he was worried about being tracked by the reporters, but after watching for a while, she clearly
felt that something was wrong.
He drove in the exact opposite direction of home.
“Bruce, where are you going?”
Bruce grabbed the steering wheel and looked straight ahead. “Let’s go for a drive!”
“It’s already so late. Where are you going for a drive?”
“The night view of Greyport is still charming. I really want to go and take a look today.” Perhaps he wouldn’t be able

Half an hour later, Bruce drove to Harbor Bay. They had been to this place before. It was called Lover’s Bay!
It was also part of the hairpin turn. Beside the road was the sea, and above it was the top of the Emerald Mountain!
Not only could they see the sea and the mountains, but they could also see the dazzling lights of thousands of
families.
Bruce got out of the car and walked to a hill beside the road. He stood where he had stood last time.
He lit a cigarette and looked into the distance. His deep eyes were a little blurry.
Joanna also got out of the car. It was almost December, and the weather was already a little cold.
As Christmas was coming, various neon lights were very eye–catching. In Greyport, festivals like Christmas were still
popular. Therefore, the atmosphere was quite intense.
“Look at this place. It’s quite beautiful!” Bruce blew out a smoke ring.
Joanna subconsciously took two steps back, in fear of passive smoking. “It’s a little cold. Let’s go back.”
She no longer tried to persuade him to quit smoking!
Since she couldn’t make it anyway, she might as well let him be!
“Why don’t you have any feelings at all?” Bruce tilted his head and looked at her, teasing her unhappily.
Then, he took off his suit and draped it over Joanna’s shoulders.
Although he was not fat, he was too tall. His suit was draped over Joanna as if she was wearing a windbreaker.
“It’s not cold now, is it?”
Joanna tightened the suit. “It’s alright.”
“Come on, take a walk with me!”
“Alright!” Joanna was a little reluctant.
The couple held hands and strolled along the beach.
They walked for about a few minutes without speaking to each other. But the atmosphere was peaceful, without a
hint of

awkwardness or oppression. It was like an ordinary old couple strolling after dinner.
Bruce enjoyed this feeling of relaxation. Even if he didn’t say anything, he could feel satisfaction and warmth.
They walked hand in hand for another five to six minutes.
Joanna looked at her watch and couldn’t help but say, “It’s really getting late. It’s already past seven. Let’s go back
quickly.”
Bruce frowned. “Can you walk around with me for more minutes?”
“I’m afraid the children will worry!”
“Then let them worry for a while! It’s rare for us to have such a peaceful walk.” There was a hint of pleading in his
eyes.
Joanna had no choice but to continue walking with him.
“Joanna, do you think we can still walk like this fifty years later?”
Joanna rolled her eyes. She had never thought so far ahead.
Seeing that she was silent, Bruce asked again, “Why aren’t you saying anything? I’m asking you a question.”
Joanna sighed, not knowing what to say.
She didn’t talk much usually.
Now, although she didn’t hate him that much. She still couldn’t act cute and joke with him.
The estrangement had not completely dissipated!
Bruce pursed his lips and complained, “Joanna, I realized that you’re really quite boring. Sometimes, I’m found it
tedious to stay with you.
“It’s like walking with you is dull as dishwater. There’s no romance at all.”
That was true. When he was with other women, they would rack their brains to please him.
Even Princess Martha would think of ways to make him happy. Only when she was with Joanna, she was really a
little depressed.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmNot to mention feeling pleased, it was already a blessing for him not to fly into a rage when staying with Joanna.
Joanna narrowed her eyes and said calmly, “I didn’t ask you to be with me. If you think I’m bored, you can find
another woman! I won’t stop you.”
Bruce choked in anger.
Look, this damn woman was so unromantic. She didn’t know what flirting was at all, let alone reading people’s
expressions.
“Then I really went to look for other women?” Bruce deliberately smiled teasingly, trying to trigger her jealousy.
“Go ahead! As long as you’re happy, you can do whatever you want,” Joanna replied seriously. She did not look
angry at all.
Bruce was so angry that he could no longer hold it in. “Hey, if I find another woman, are you really not angry?”
Joanna thought for a few seconds and shook her head solemnly. If he really went to find someone new, she really
wouldn’t be angry, and there was nothing to be angry about.
Some injuries would create an antibody in one’s heart.
It was just like how a person would fall ill when occasionally getting a little bit of bacteria if they grew up in a sterile.
environment. After being with bacteria for a long time, a symbiotic immunity would take form.
She had been hurt too badly in the past and had long lost all hope in love. Now, naturally, no one could hurt her.
“Up to you! As long as you’re happy.”
“You’re so heartless!” Hearing her answer, Bruce spat fiercely!
This damn woman was really hardhearted. He had been trying to enter her heart but she was still as invulnerable
as a rock.
Joanna was not interested in playing emotional games with him. She just kept urging him. “Let’s go! Hurry up and
go back. If we don’t go back soon, the children will really be anxious.”
As she spoke, Joanna was already walking ahead.
Bruce slowly followed behind her, a lot of dissatisfaction growing in his heart.
This boring woman really drove him crazy.
