The Return of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife by Zara Gibbon

Chapter 696

“Daddy, please try it! I cooked it for you specially.” Irvin eagerly tried to curry favor with his father.

“Well, I…” Bruce was in a dilemma.

Joanna smiled. “Irvin made it for you. Just try it.”

“Um, okay,” Bruce said and giggled.

Bruce bit the bullet, picked up a bit of spaghetti with his fork, and slowly put it into his mouth.

What the hell!

Bruce frowned and was frozen for seven to eight seconds as if he was bewitched.

“Daddy, how is it? Does it taste as good as Mommy’s spaghetti? It is delicious, isn’t it?”

Bruce came back to his senses and could not help but cough dryly.

The cookies he had just tried were too sweet, but the spaghetti was too salty. He wanted to spit it out immediately.

“Um, it tasted even better.”

When Irvin heard this, he was over the moon. He looked at Davian smugly. “See? I’ve told you so. My spaghetti is

much better than your cookies!”

Davian looked unconvinced. “I don’t think so. My cookies are better. End of story!”

Seeing this, Lilia immediately offered the cake she had baked herself. “Daddy, you haven’t tasted my cake yet. I

baked the cake for you specially. It’s full of my love for you.”

Bruce had yet to swallow the spaghetti in his mouth.

He had already tried the terrible cookies and spaghetti. And he thought he was supposed to accept the cake with a

smile since his darling daughter Lilia had baked it for him specially.

Bruce raised his eyebrows slightly again and swallowed the salty spaghetti with difficulty.

Indeed, he knew Davian and Irvin were trying to show their love and care for him.

But the food they made for him had almost killed him.

“Daddy, it took me the whole morning to bake the cake.”

“Oh, thank you, sweetheart. I’m so touched that I feel like crying.” Bruce braced himself and smiled gently at Lilia.

Looking at the badly burned cake before him, Bruce did feel like crying.

He could tell the cake would taste awful only by looking at its appearance.

In particular, he had always been a picky eater. He really couldn’t convince himself to enjoy the food made by the

kids.

“Come on, Daddy, take a bite!”

“Yeah, okay.”

Bruce took over a small cake and carefully took a bite of it.

“Daddy, how is it? Is it good?”

“Um… Not bad!” Bruce laughed awkwardly.

That taste was indescribable.

He had never eaten anything so disgusting.

He’d like to say the cake was the worst food he had ever tried though his daughter had baked it herself.

“Daddy, if you think it’s good, you must eat them all.” Lilia looked at Bruce with expectation.

Bruce coughed dryly and almost spat the cake out of his mouth.

God knew how difficult it was for him to swallow the cake. But not to break Ii

neart, he forced himself not to spit it out.

Seeing this, Joanna immediately stopped them. “Alright, alright, babies! Daddy and Mommy know how much you

love us. Thank you for your hard work, babies! Well done!

“Lunch is ready. Let’s dig in.

“Daddy is weak. He needs more nutrition and should eat properly.”

“Okay”

Bruce heard that and hurriedly put down the cake in his hand, feeling like he had escaped a calamity.

The family was about to get started with their lunch happily.

Gael walked to them with a straight face. “Mr. Everett, Mrs. Everett. Mr. Miller and Mrs. Miller are there for a visit.”

Upson hearing that, Joanna was stunned and subconsciously put down the fork.

Bruce heard it and also stopped eating and put down the fork.

Joanna’s face darkened. She was sick with them and said, “I guess they’re up to no good again. Gosh, they are a

real piece of work. They are so persistent and driving me crazy!”

Gael frowned slightly. “Mrs. Everett, do you want to see them? If-not, I’ll send them away now.”

Joanna pondered for a few seconds and sighed heavily. “Forget it. Just let them in. I’m curious what kind of trouble

they’ll make today!”

“Okay,” Gael said and turned to leave the dining room.

“Babies, stay with Daddy here and finish your lunch. Mommy is busy. We’ve got visitors.”

Joanna stood up as she spoke.

The three kids looked at Joanna confusingly. “Mommy, why don’t you invite them to eat with us?”

“There’s no need. Focus on your lunch. Mommy will be right back. Okay?”

After that, Joanna stood up and walked toward the living room with the big baby bump.

Seeing this, Bruce’s lips curled into a faint sneer.

It was sarcastic that Liam had paid so much attention to him, and Bruce knew what Liam wanted.

If he didn’t do anything in return, Bruce thought he would disappoint Liam.

So, he had made up his mind. He would let Liam be the Everett Group’s president and make him his guardian.

Joanna was already more than seven months pregnant and would be due soon. After giving birth to the baby, she

was supposed to have a postpartum recovery.

He could not bear to see his beloved wife working so hard.

Since Liam wanted to be promoted so much, he would do as he wished.

But he was sure that Liam would be sorry-soon in the future.

Anyway, he had to get someone to take the blame and pay for the Everett Group’s old debts, losses on the books,

and those

several economic lawsuits.

For the sake of the fact that Liam was his uncle, Bruce had never thought of getting Liam to be the scapegoat

before.

But Liam had come for them first, and Bruce didn’t think he had to be softhearted with him.
