Chapter 1014
“Silly, it’s not like I’m not coming back. Why cry?” Bruce said as he wrapped his arms around Joanna.
She was wearing a thin silk nightgown. As she leaned against his chest, she could feel his warmth and breath..
Her heart had once again opened up completely, allowing him to occupy every corner of it. If he were to break her
heart again, she would not be able to carry on living as she was unable to withstand any more pain or hardships.
The last time you went to Antlen, so many unpleasant things happened. Now you’re going to Melta, and I’m… quite
worried, she held him tightly as tears streamed down her cheeks uncontrollably.
“Silly. I’m going there for work, okay? I am not going to do anything illegal. Just stay home and wait for me. Once
I’m done with work, I’ll be back immediately.
His eyes were tender while his voice was incredibly gentle.
She held him close, leaning against his chest as she found it hard to let
1. go.
I had a very bad dream last night, and I just have this bad feeling that… Before she could finish, he interrupted her,
saying, “Haha, were you even asleep last night? I didn’t sleep at all, yet you were able to sleep?”
He grinned playfully.
He would be leaving on a business trip soon, meaning they would not see each other for a long time.
Therefore, they had to make the most of last night.
They got carried away and ended up indulging in pleasures until morning. If he were not leaving today, she could
not have handled it.
She wondered if other men were as demanding as Bruce.
“How could you have the mood to joke around? I’m being serious here. Can you stop fooling around?”
“Alright, okay. I’m listening Tell me!”
She wiped her tears away. “Forget it. I’m not gonna say it. Anyway, you must promise me that you would back safe
and sound. Don’t stir up trouble, okay? And when you’re in Melta. try to control your temper. Don’t get into conflicts
with the locals, and don’t steal the
limelight from the local powers, okay.”
He diuckled, feeling helpless. Haha, I got it. Ir not some nobody anyway. I know how to handle things. Well, it’s

Seven o’clock
The two washed up aud changed their clothes before coming downstairs.
Good moming Mr. Everett, Mrs. Everet. Breakfast is ready, the maid said respectfully. Joanna looked at Bruce
tenderly “Have some breakfast.
“Til make you some spaghetti
There’s no need I don’t have enough time so I just have something simple
“Alright then?”
The servant brought over scrambled eggs, bacon strips, and oatmeal.
Bruce had a small plate, then watched Joanna eat
“Eat up. You’re too skinny now. You have to have eggs and oatmeal every day, okay? Your can’t skip them
Okay”
The Everett family always had milk and oatmeal for breakfast, and she was already tired of them. But for the sake
of beauty and nutrition, she could only force herself to eat.
“Be good and take good care of the children,” he instructed worriedly.
“I know. I’ll take care of things at home.”
Davian and Irvin had also woken up. “Daddy, are you going on a business trip today?” “That’s right!”
“Have a safe trip. Daddy. Please come home early,”
“Alright!” Bruce smiled at the two boys.
“Daddy, when you come back from Melta, can you bring us toys? I want the latest Transformers figurine and a pair
of roller skates.
The father smiled and nodded. “Sure. You guys have to be well–behaved and listen to Mommy while I’m gone,
okay? Don’t be naughty, or else you’ll regret it when I get back. The little ones smiled sweetly. “Daddy, don’t worry,
we’ll be the best–behaved.”
“I have to go. It’s about time.”
As Bruce spoke, his gaze turned to Joanna. “Look at you, your eyes are red already. Just go upstairs and rest. Don’t
worry about me, okay? Everything will be fine; it’s just a business trip.
“No, I want to go to the airport and see you off.
With helplessness, he said, “You’re becoming unruly, silly girl.”
After breakfast.
Bruce and Joanna left the house.
The driver and the servants were already waiting on the lawn, and the cars were pulled out
of the garage.
“Morning, Mr. and Mrs. Everett.”
The driver opened the door.
“Get in the car!”
“Yeah” After Joanna had got into the car, Bruce also got in from the other side.
Darcy and Carson, along with others, quickly got into another car.
Four luxury cars slowly drove out of Sherane Bay Villa.
Forty minutes later.
At the airport.
“Mr. Everett, we have arrived at the airport.”
The bodyguards quickly went forward to open the car door while the rest of the people hurriedly carried the
luggage.
They all got out of the cars.
This time, Bruce was going to Melta with Darcy, Carson, and another three men.
Of course, he also had accommodations and assistants in Melta.
To carry out the mission, bringing too many people would be counterproductive. Therefore, he only brought the
most trusted individuals with him.
Darcy and Carson were dressed in suits, wearing sunglasses, and following behind Bruce. Bruce had his arm around
Joanna’s shoulder as they walked toward the VIP passage.
She suddenly thought of something and turned to look at Darcy. ‘By the way, Darcy, take good care of yourself
during this long trip.”
“Thank you for your concern, Mrs. Everett.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Well…” She wanted to talk to him about Grace.
Yet the words stopped in her throat.
She supposed there was no point telling him what was on her mind now, it would be better to wait until he came
back.
Darcy’s face tensed up as if he knew what she wanted to say.
“Honey, it’s about time; we need to go through the gate now,” Bruce said.
Joanna said, “Yes, darling. Safe flight. Call me when you get there.”
“Got it!” He smiled tenderly, kissing her on the forehead as he found it difficult to leave her,
Im going
“Goodbye.
He entered the gate after waving at her.
Watching his tall figure disappear into the distance, Joanna’s eyes were suddenly filled with intense sadness.
She had never wanted him to stay so desperately.
They had known each other for so many years, and she was always calm and composed every time he went on a
business trip.
But this time, she could not help feeling restless and uneasy.
Cherron and Tom were now protecting Joanna at all times, no matter where she went. “Mrs. Everett, let’s go home
now.”
Yes:
Joanna was about to leave when a graceful figure suddenly ran over from a distance, shouting, “Wait, wait.”
Grace was panting heavily as she ran toward the gate, trying to catch her breath when she reached the entrance
Grace, why are you here?”
I came to see Darry. Where are they?
have adready gone through the gate
“Already?”
“Yes!”
Upon hearing this, Grace wore an expression of disappointment. Though she had rushed over, it seemed she
arrived just a bit too late.
