The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife (Joanna)

Chapter 1054

Grace was still furious. “Joann, where did your husband and Darcy go? I have to find him.”

Joanna laughed dryly and sighed. “Grace, they might have gone to do something, and bringing you

along isn’t suitable. Why don’t you come back first…”

Hearing Joanna’s calm tone, Grace was even angrier. She asked in shock, “Joann, aren’t worried at

all? Aren’t you angry at all? Your husband has an ambiguous relationship with that woman, Bridges.

Have you forgiven him so quickly?”

After hearing that, Joanna let out a silent breath.

Grace was only in her twenties. She was young, impetuous, and abhorred evil as if it was her enemy.

She spoke or acted on hearsay, and her temper came at the drop of a hat.

At Grace’s age, she could not tolerate a hint of betrayal in her romantic relationship. However, at

Joanna’s age, she had been enlightened about many problems and would show tolerance toward the

other party.

“He was cuddling with that Aria, and they were even alone in the same room. I don’t even know what

illicit business they were doing. You could even forgive him for that. Aren’t you too lacking in

character?”

“He already explained to me that he and Aria are just friends.”

Grace retorted disdainfully, “You believe what he says? A man’s words should never be trusted. If a

man’s words can be trusted, pigs might fly too.

“Besides, don’t you know what your husband was like in the past? You could even forgive him for

having an affair. You’re a disgrace to us women.

“If it were me, I would first skin him alive before kicking him to the vast ocean. I would divorce him and

make his life hellish.”

Joanna was speechless and could not find any words to réfute her.

Bruce was indeed a liar. He could lie through his teeth.

However, she still believed that he loved her. There was no doubt about his love for her.

She did not know what he was doing now, but he must have his reasons. She should trust him and

their love.

Moreover, they had gone through so many life-and-death situations to be together. If truth be told,

every time he had a close shave with death, only one belief remained in her heart. It was fine as long

as he was alive.

Everything else was really secondary.

Bruce had experienced so many hardships and tribulations. He was not so lacking in restraint as to be

easily tempted by a woman.

She was being unreasonable. She should not have suspected him.

“Well, my husband… He does have a bad temper. He’s more domineering and doesn’t care about

others’ feelings.

“But he actually doesn’t have any ill intentions. He was probably just joking with you. I’ll apologize to

you on his behalf now. Don’t be angry anymore, okay?”

Grace was still furious after she heard that.

However, she could not say anything else. She replied resentfully, “Alright, alright. He’s your husband

anyway. Since you’ve already forgiven him, I won’t say anything else. Now, I just want to know where

he has taken Darcy.

“I can’t even get through to Darcy now. He’s so mysterious. I wonder what he’s up to.”

“Grace, this is their job. Darcy is my husband’s bodyguard. Of course, he has to go with him.

“Come back quickly. Stop throwing childish tantrums. Jaydon is anxious.

“My husband will definitely come back with Darcy after he’s done with work. It’s useless for you to look

for him now!”

“Then when will they be able to get their work done?”

Joanna frowned. “It should take another month or two.

“Come back first and wait patiently. Jaydon even called me yesterday. He’s extremely angry. Come

back quickly!”

“But I don’t want to go back so soon. I want to wait a little longer.” Grace pouted.

“Forget it. I won’t talk to you anymore. I’ll wait a few more days. If I really can’t find him, I’ll go back.”

“Alright then! Be careful and call Jaydon back as soon as possible. Set his mind at ease.”

“Oh, I got it.”

“That’s it then! I’m hanging up.” Joanna did not say anything else and hung up.

Davian asked curiously, “Mommy, who called?”

Irvin quickly said, “From the tone, it must be that Grace.”

“Children have to be polite. You have to call her Miss Grimm. You can’t call an adult by her name

directly.”

“Tsk, she’s a brat too.”

Joanna could not be bothered to argue with the children anymore. She casually asked, “Where’s

Patricia?”

Lilia pointed to a corner of the living room. “Patricia and Devin are eating apples over there.” When

Joanna heard that, she walked toward the two young children.

“Patricia, Devin.”

The two young children were sitting on a cushion under the Halloween tree, nibbling on apples with

relish.

Devin was simply Patricia’s follower. He followed her wherever she went.

“It’s the day before Halloween today. Do you miss your daddy?” Joanna said as she carried the little

girl.

The little girl nibbled on the apple and blinked her big dark eyes, making no response.

She was happy living here, and it did not occur to her to think about her biological father and mother.

“Forget it. I’ll call your daddy and ask him if he wants to take you home for the holiday. Joanna casually

took out her phone and called Jaydon.

A ringing sound was heard.

The phone rang for a long time before Jaydon slowly answered it. “Hello, Joann.”

“Jay, what were you busy with? Why weren’t you answering your phone?”

Jaydon sighed deeply on the other end of the phone.

Hearing his sigh, Joanna was stunned. “What’s wrong? Did something happen again?”

Jaydon sighed again in frustration. “No.

“Why did you call me?”

“Oh, it’s the day before Halloween today and Halloween tomorrow. I was afraid that you would miss

Patricia, so I called you.”

After all, it was a holiday. People definitely wanted to reunite with their families. Joanna felt that Jaydon

would want to take the little girl back.

“I was wondering if you were going to take Patricia back…”

Jaydon said in a deep voice, “No need. Let her stay at your place first! I’ll visit her after some time.”

“Oh, oh, that’s fine too. Do your thing first. You don’t have to worry about Patricia.”

Joanna comforted Jaydon, thinking that he was having a headache over business matters.

Jaydon was speechless. He frowned, not knowing what to say.

“Joann…”

Hearing his tone, Joanna’s heart tightened. “Jay, what’s wrong with you now?”

“Mr. Grimm, who’s calling?”

On the other end of the phone, Carmel’s coquettish voice sounded.

Jaydon’s voice sank. “Joann, I’ll talk to you later. I have something to deal with here.”

“Oh, okay then!” Joanna still recognized Carmel’s voice.

From the looks of it, the two of them had gotten together again.

After hanging up, Jaydon was furious. He scolded Carmel angrily, “Carmel, can you stop bothering

me?

“It’s already over between us. There’s no way we can develop anything further…”

When Carmel heard that, she was still smiling. “Mr. Grimm, why are you so angry? We were happy last

night, weren’t we? Besides, I didn’t want to do anything.

“I just miss you and our daughter. Don’t you miss me?”

As Carmel spoke, she leaned over weakly and hugged Jaydon’s waist gently.

Jaydon felt a headache coming on. He struggled to pry her hands away.

“Let go. Don’t do this again. Hurry up and put on your clothes.”

“No, I like to hug you like this! Mr. Grimm, don’t be unhappy. You clearly looked happy last night. You

clearly still like me. Why are you acting so aloof?”

Over the past few days, Carmel had been clinging to him like sticky candy.

Last night, he had agreed to have a farewell meal with her. He did not know what she had put in his

wine, but he was inexplicably…

Then, sparks flew, and the two of them slept together again somehow.

When Jaydon woke up this morning, he was speechless.

“Carmel, can you stop fooling around? Get lost. I don’t want to see you again.” Jaydon was really

angry.

He rarely scolded people, but now, he really could not help but curse.

“Mr. Grimm, do you really have to be so heartless? You were so loving with me last night, yet now

you’re telling me to get lost. How could you do this?

“If you don’t like me, why were you so… passionate last night?

“At the end of the day, it’s because you like me.”
