The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife (Joanna)

Chapter 1227

In the kitchen, Joanna was helping the children make dumplings, preparing to make a few home-

cooked dishes personally.

Bruce appeared like a ghost, silently creeping up behind Joanna. He stood there, rigidly staring at

Joanna.

After a while, Joanna turned around to get something and saw him. "Ouch, you scared me. Why are

you standing behind me in silence? You scared me."

Bruce didn't say anything but just looked at Joanna with a heavy expression.

"What's wrong?" Joanna asked gently.

"It's... It's okay!"

"Then wash your hands and come over to help me make dumplings."

"Alright!" Bruce walked over like an automaton.

Joanna looked at him suspiciously, feeling that Bruce seemed to have a lot on his mind.

"He was still acting like a crybaby just now, wheedling and begging for a hug. Why was he so silent

now?" wondered she.

"Honey, did something happen again?"

"No!" Bruce's expression tensed up, and he forced a stiff smile.

Seeing this, Joanna became even more worried. "What's wrong with you? You don't look good. Did

Aria say something to you again?"

After everything they'd been through, how could Joanna not see that something was bothering Bruce?

"No! Really!" Bruce didn't make dumplings but just walked straight over and hugged Joanna tightly in

his arms.

Bruce hugged her tighter and tighter as if they were going to separate in the next second.

Joanna was even more stunned. Her heart was in her throat.

"Bruce, what's the matter? Please don't scare me."

"It's okay. It really is!" Bruce's eyes turned red as tears fell.

They had already experienced too many setbacks between them, and his heart could no longer take it.

He was afraid of losing his current happiness.

Joanna's heart was pounding. She felt hot and wet on her shoulder. Bruce's tears kept falling, falling

onto her shoulder one by one.

Joanna was terrified and asked, "What happened? Don't scare me. What happened?

"You said that we wouldn't hide anything from each other anymore. Whatever it is, we'll face it

together."

Bruce sniffed twice like an insecure child.

He went overseas to study when he was seven or eight years old and lost his parents when he was in

his teens. He lacked love and needed someone to give him enough love and warmth sincerely.

Over the years, too many people had appeared around him. But without exception, they were all after

his money.

Only Joanna was not after his money, and she taught Bruce how to love someone.

"Don't cry anymore. No matter what happens, I'll face it with you." Joanna stuck her head out, and her

eyes turned red.

"What happened? Don't make me anxious, okay?"

"It's okay. It's just... It's just that my face hurts a lot after the surgery!" Bruce said, looking weak and

helpless. He leaned on Joanna's waist and rested his head on her shoulder, sobbing.

He was too tall and hunched over Joanna like a mastiff squatting on a lamb.

When Joanna heard this, the tears in her eyes instantly froze, and her facial nerves twitched.

"Silly, you scared the crap out of me. I thought something had happened! Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.

"Be good. We won't do it next time. You look pretty good now!"

Bruce sniffed and hugged her even tighter. However, there was a hint of sadness and coldness in his

eyes.

He didn't want to tell Joanna about the organization, nor did he want her to be on tenterhooks and

afraid.

He swore in his heart that no matter what, he would keep Joanna and the children safe.
