The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife (Joanna)

Chapter 1042

“Tell me, what happened last night?”

“What happened? Mr. Everett, please stop teasing me.” Darcy looked embarrassed.

“I’m not teasing you. Look at the hickeys on your neck. It looks like it’s quite intense,” Bruce continued

to jest.

When Darcy heard this, he subconsciously touched his neck and blushed even

more.

Last night, Grace was like a little wildcat, nibbling on his neck, shoulders, and chest all over.

Now there were several love bites and tooth marks on his neck.

“Don’t you say you can’t do it?”

“Mr. Everett, you’re the most experienced, I think I’m awake again…”

“Really?” Bruce’s face was full of gossip. Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

In the past, he would never talk to his subordinates about personal matters, let alone chat like a friend.

But now, perhaps with age and experience, his character had gradually changed, becoming less

irritable and more inclined to humor.

Just as Bruce was teasing Darcy, Aria called.

“Hey…”

On the other end of the phone, Aria’s anxious voice sounded. “Bruce, come to the hospital immediately.

The Eprarian is awake.”

“Alright, I’ll be right there.” Bruce’s expression changed and he immediately stood

1.

“Mr. Everett, what’s going on?”

“The Eprarian is awake. Let’s go over and take a look.”

“Okay, got it.”

Shortly after, Bruce, Darcy, and the others headed to the private hospital.

This private hospital had been completely reserved by Bruce for Aria’s research.

“Aria. How’s he?”

“The Eprarian is awake now, but none of us speaks Eprarish.”

“Can’t we use a translator?”

“We can, but it’s too slow. Translating is difficult, it’s better to find professional interpreters.”

On the hospital bed, the Eprarian was lying there, barely conscious.

something in Eprarish.

Unfortunately, no one could understand what he was saying.

“Don’t you know how to speak Antlenish?” Bruce asked him in Antlenish.

The Eprarian continued saying a few more words.

“Could it be a mistake?”

Aria said with a serious expression, “He’s not completely conscious right now, and he’s only speaking

his native language in his subconscious. Asking him too many questions won’t help as he doesn’t even

know what he’s saying.”

“Cary, go find someone nearby who knows Eprarish.”

The other agent, Cary, nodded. “Alright, I’ll go right away.”

As she spoke, Aria suddenly blacked out and fell straight forward.

Bruce reacted quickly and immediately supported her. “Aria, what’s wrong?”

Aria took a long time to recover from her dizziness. She smiled at Bruce and said, “Nothing. I’m just a

little dizzy.”

When Bruce heard this, he frowned. “You haven’t slept properly for a few days. Don’t push yourself so

hard. Hurry up and have a good sleep!”

“I’m fine. We’re about to get the results of the plague virus research!” Aria said. Her vision went dark

again, and she fell into Bruce’s arms.

Bruce had no choice but to bend down and carry her over.

“You can’t go on like this. Your body can’t take it.

“Leave this to Jason and the others, you need a good rest.”

As he spoke, Bruce forcefully carried Aria and brought her out of the hospital.

He knew that if he let her stay in the hospital, she would definitely work day and night on her research.

Now, he had to force her to rest.

Outside the hospital, a figure wearing a duckbill cap and sunglasses saw Bruce and Aria walking out of

the hospital.

She immediately hid behind a flower bed, acting suspiciously.

When Grace saw clearly that the woman Bruce was holding was Aria, she was instantly furious.

“Oh, it’s this wicked woman again.”

“So what Joann is worried about is true. There’s indeed something wrong.” As Grace muttered to

herself, she quietly took out her phone and took a few photos of Bruce and Aria.

Aria was already exhausted from low blood sugar and several consecutive sleepless nights. Now, she

could not hold on anymore and almost fainted.

Bruce carried her and prepared to send her to the villa so that she could rest well. Unexpectedly, Grace

came to keep an eye on him.

“This scumbag. He’s already married to Joann, yet he’s still flirting with another

woman.

“I’ll send the evidence to Joann now and see how he die.”

Grace sent the photo directly to Joanna.

[Joann, there’s indeed something wrong with your husband. I took some photos of them together.]

After all, Grace was only 22 years old and did not have any shrewdness or schemes. She also did not

expect the consequences of sending a photo.

All she knew was that Joanna had asked her to keep an eye on Bruce. Of course, she had to complete

the mission.

Darcy glanced at Grace who was behind the flower bed. After sending Bruce and Aria into the car, he

quickly approached her quietly.

“Grace, why are you here? Who asked you to come?”

“I followed you on purpose. Let me see what you’re doing.”

“Stop fooling around and hurry back to the hotel. If Mr. Everett sees us later, we’ll be in trouble.”

“I think he’s the one who’ll be in trouble, right? He’s actually hooking up with another woman behind

Joann. What a scumbag.”

“It’s not what you think. Mr. Everett has no romantic feelings for Miss Bridges. Don’t gossip in front of

Madam.”

“I’m not gossiping. I’m just telling the truth.”

“Forget it. I really don’t know what to do with you. Just go back to the hotel…” Seeing that Bruce’s car

had driven away, Darcy hurriedly got into another car.

In Greyport, due to the time difference, it was already past 11 o’clock at night.

Joanna was about to sleep when her phone rang.

She picked it up and saw that it was a Messenger message from Grace.

Joanna clicked on it curiously, seeing a few photos being sent over.

There were photos of Bruce holding Aria, and also two photos of Aria leaning on Bruce’s shoulder.

After looking at the photo, Joanna’s blood instantly froze.

He was indeed with Aria.

Joanna tried her best to calm down and immediately called Bruce.

How was she going to listen to his explanation?

“Hello, the person you are trying to reach is not available at the moment. Please

D

try again later.”

[Bruce, where are you? Reply to me immediately. I need to talk to you urgently.]

The voice message was sent out.

An hour later, Joanna was getting impatient, but Bruce did not reply to her at all.

[Bruce, if you don’t call me back, I’ll blacklist all your contact details.]

After sending the voice message again, Joanna’s heart was filled with restless anger, and she had no

intention of sleeping at all.

No matter what Bruce’s purpose was for being with Aria?

She couldn’t bear this kind of deception.

He could have told her, but why was he hiding it from her? What was he trying to hide?

Another hour passed. It was already past 1 o’clock in the morning, and there was still no response from

Bruce

Joanna smiled sadly at her phone. Then, she blocked Bruce’s Messenger and his phone number.

Since he wanted to tangle with Aria so much, she would let them entangle as much as they wanted.

Regardless of whether they had that kind of relationship or not, his deceitful behavior had already

deeply hurt her.

She had asked him many times, and he never mentioned being with Aria. If he had nothing to hide,

why did he keep it from her?

On the other side in Melta, Bruce had lunch after settling Aria down.

Only then did he remember to look at his phone. He saw that Joanna had called him just now.

However, because he was with Aria, he deliberately didn’t answer at the moment to avoid unnecessary

misunderstandings.

Now that he took out his phone to take a look, other than Joanna’s missed calls, there were two other

voice messages.

Upon listening to the messages, Bruce’s heart skipped a beat.

He quickly tried to call Joanna through Messenger.

However, the button for making a call did not show up on the chat screen.

It indicated that he couldn’t call Joanna at all.

Joanna had indeed deleted him.

After realizing this, Bruce felt even more uneasy.

It was truly difficult to coax Joanna when she was angry.

He quickly called her again by dialing her phone number.

Unfortunately, Joanna had already blocked all his numbers, so when he dialed, the call was

immediately disconnected.

“Damn it, why is she angry again?

“This woman gets angry for no reason at all…”
