Chapter 1077
“Ah…”
The monster’s shrill scream seemed to pierce through the parallel universe and reach the end of the
universe.
At Sherane Bay Villa.
“Ugh…” Joanna suddenly woke up from the nightmare.
She opened her eyes abruptly. Her heart was pounding violently, and her entire body was drenched in
sweat.
The dream just now was too scary.
She dreamed that a monster was locked in a cage and was being tortured. In her dream, the monster’s
screams were more than tragic, making one’s hair stand on end.
It was clearly a dream, but it felt so real.
“What’s wrong? Did you have a nightmare?” Bruce asked gently when he saw Joanna waking up in
shock. Joanna took a long time to calm down, and the fear in her heart gradually subsided. However,
she was still uneasy, but she did not know why.
“Honey, what time is it?” she asked.
Bruce patted her shoulder. “It’s only ten o’clock now. Go back to sleep!”
Joanna did not say anything. She lifted the blanket and could not fall asleep again.
“Joann, what are you going to do?”
Joanna took two deep breaths. “I’m going to get some water.”
Bruce smiled gently. “Okay, bring me some too.”
“Alright.” Joanna brushed the loose hair on her cheek, put on her slippers, and walked out of the
bedroom.
The bedroom was very spacious. There was a refrigerator outside with all kinds of drinking water in it.
However, Joanna left the bedroom and walked to the first floor.
The dream just now was too terrifying. She wanted to move and disperse this ominous atmosphere.
Downstairs, the servant greeted her respectfully when she came down. “Mrs. Everett!”
“Go to bed early,” said Joanna.
“Good night, Mrs. Everett.”
Joanna didn’t say anything else and went straight into the kitchen. She opened the fridge and poured a
glass of lemonade.
“Why would I have such a terrifying dream? Why do I keep having nightmares recently?” Joanna drank
the lemonade and sat on the dining chair in a daze.
In the dream, the monster was burly and had disheveled hair. His hands and feet were tied with iron
chains as thick as an arm.
His entire body was filled with, catheters and detectors. It seemed like he was suffering from very
painful
torture.
Joanna thought about it and felt an inexplicable pain in her heart. She did not dare to recall the dream
again and returned to the bedroom with the lemonade.
Back in the bedroom.
“Bruce, here’s your water.” Joanna handed the lemonade to Bruce,
“Thank you, Joann.” Bruce took the cup and thanked her gently.
Joanna frowned and looked at Bruce suspiciously.
“This damned bastard had always been superior. Regardless of who it was, he acted like an emperor
issuing decrees. He felt perfectly justified about others serving him,” thought she.

Now that he suddenly became so gentle and polite, it was kind of hard for Joanna to handle.
“Joanna!” After Bruce finished the water, he gently wrapped his arm around her waist with a hint of
flirtation in his gaze..
Joanna frowned and actually resisted his intimacy. “Um… I’m not feeling well today. Aunt Flow’s
visiting.” “Oh, then go back to sleep!” Bruce covered her with the blanket considerately and looked at
her gently.
Joanna closed her eyes, but she could not fall asleep.
Humans’ personalities and temperaments were rarely innate but were largely shaped by upbringing
and environment.
Bruce’s domineering, scheming, and suspicious personality was also forged step by step in life.
He had been working in the business world since he was in his 20s. He was faced with old foxes and
schemes. With every step he took back, others would push him further, leaving him with no place to
stand.
He could only be stronger and more cunning to protect himself and the business empire of Everett
Group and make the Everett family invincible.
As time passed, he developed his personality.
Therefore, if he were to develop a kind and gentle personality, he would probably have long since
perished at the hands of deceitful schemes.
However, Bruce gave her the feeling that he was very gentle and peaceful now, like a rich guy who had
never experienced any harsh realities of society.
Joanna was the one who understood Bruce the best. It was inevitable that she felt that something was
wrong. However, she could not tell what was wrong.
The next day.
After Bruce and Joanna woke up, the children were already waiting downstairs.
“Good morning, Daddy, Mommy.”
“Good morning, darlings.”
“Daddy, Mommy, it’s not easy for you to take the annual leave. Can you play with us?”
“Sure,” Bruce replied happily.
“Where do you want to go?”
Davian was the first to suggest, “Well, we want to ride horses and go to the amusement park.”
“I want to go out on a yacht to catch turtles and lobsters,” Irvin said with a face full of smiles.
“Lilia, what about you?
“Ugh, forget it. You should do your training well. After your leg recovers, we’ll take you out.” “Okay, I
understand, Daddy. I’ll go for training after breakfast.”
“Good girl.”
“Then we’ll go out to sea in the morning to catch lobsters and come back to barbeque in the evening.
Tomorrow, we’ll go to the amusement park and ride horses.”
Bruce smiled dotingly and rubbed the two little guys’ heads. “Okay, Daddy will satisfy all of you.”
“Oh, that’s great, Daddy. We love you so much.” The four little kids surrounded Bruce and chattered
like excited birds.
Joanna watched from the side and couldn’t help but smile. It was the greatest happiness for a family to
be reunited.
“Beep, beep, beep!”.
The phone rang.
Joanna took out her phone and saw that it was Jaydon calling.
“Hello, Jay.”
Jaydon’s deep voice came from the other end of the line. “Joann, where are you now?”
08.55 D
“Oh, I’m back at Greyport now.”
“Um, Bruce is back too, right?” Jaydon asked subconsciously.
Joanna smiled gently. “Yes! We’re all back.”
Jaydon frowned and fell silent on the other end of the phone.
“What about you? Where are you now?” added Joanna.
Jaydon paused for a few seconds. “I’m still at Melta. I plan to go back today.” “You’re still at Melta? I
thought you were already back,” Joanna asked in surprise. “I’m flying today. I’ll probably be back
tomorrow. I have something to tell you.” Joanna was stunned and asked casually, “What is it? Tell me.”
Jaydon thought for a moment. “Forget it. Let’s talk about it when I get back!” “Oh, okay then!”
“Alright, I gotta go now.”
Joanna hung up the phone.
Bruce looked at her in surprise. “Who called?”
Joanna replied casually, “Jay called.”
“Jay?” Bruce frowned and muttered subconsciously.
Seeing this, Joanna thought that he was jealous again and hurriedly explained, “Jay went to Melta to
look for Grace before. He wasn’t back yet.
“He called me just to ask if you’re back. He probably wants to talk about Grace and Darcy!”
When Bruce heard that, he looked at Joanna in a daze. “Why didn’t I have the impression of Jay and
Grace in my mind?” he wondered.
“Joann, Jay… Who is it?”
When she heard this, the smile on Joanna’s face gradually faded as she looked at Bruce in disbelief.
“Bruce, don’t you remember Jay? Jaydon Grimm, don’t you remember?”
“Grace Grimm, do you remember? She’s Jay’s sister.”
Bruce thought for a long time and vaguely felt that he seemed to know such a person. However, his
mind was blank, and he could not recall any specific information about him. This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
“Ah… My head hurts!” Bruce rubbed his head, unable to recall the details.
“Forget it. Forget it. If you can’t remember, don’t think about it anymore! When he comes back, you
might remember him the moment you see him.” Joanna quickly comforted him.
After all, his brain had been injured before, and he might have lost his memory intermittently now. It
was better not to overwork his brain and let him heal naturally.
“Okay, I won’t think about them anymore.” There was an unfathomable glint in Bruce’s eyes.
In his memory, there seemed to be only Joanna, the children, and the people around him.
In short, the memories were fragmentary. They seemed to be selective memories and could not be
connected at all.
“Let’s eat breakfast quickly. After breakfast, we’re going out to sea to catch lobsters. Tonight, we’re
throwing a barbecue party.”
“Haha, that’s great. Our family hasn’t held a party in a long time. Today, we are finally reunited. We
have to celebrate,” said Irvin.
“I don’t think you want to celebrate. You just want to play.” Joanna exposed his thoughts.
“Hahaha, mommy knows me the best!”-
