Chapter 261
Bruce replied plainly, “Yep. They were built two years ago!”
Jennie sighed and said. “Time has passed in the blink of an eye. I miss my childhood so much.
“At that time, Bruce often came to my house to play.
“Bruce, do you remember? At that time, we played house together! It may look childish when I look back on those memories at this age. However, those
are great memories!”
Bruce smiled perfunctorily in response to Jennie.
Bruce thought, “We were kids back then. Of course, we played childish games! I was about ten years old, and Jennie was only six or seven at that time.”
Jennie continued to talk about her childhood memories excitedly. “Back then, we loved to play the wedding game. You pretended to be the groom, and I was the bride!
“It looks so funny when thinking about it now! People used to say we looked like a matched couple!”
When Bruce heard this, his expression changed slightly. Then he subconsciously glanced at the rearview mirror.
As Bruce expected, Joanna’s expression darkened.
Bruce thought, “Joanna is always sensitive. She won’t tolerate a third person when it comes to relationships.”
Noticing Bruce was silent, Jennie hurriedly stopped talking and acted as she had just realized the situation.
Jennie said, “Hey, look at me! I’m completely a chatterbox! I keep talking when thinking of those memories. Joanna, you didn’t get mad about it, did you? I only take Bruce as my brother.
“Bruce always treats me as his sister. Before I went abroad to study, Bruce and my brother came to the airport to see me off. I was so touched and cried
hard for it!”
Jennie made it worse with her explanation. She made things look like there was something between Bruce and her.
Hearing Jennie’s words, Joanna felt annoyed and disgusted. She pursed her lips and did not say anything.
“Joanna, are you really mad?” asked Jennie.
Jennie revealed an innocent expression on her sweet face. That face was a classic face of an angelic bitch. Jennie said, “Bruce, I didn’t mean to make Joanna mad. I didn’t expect Joanna to get angry so easily!
“What should I do? Should I apologize to Joanna?
“Joanna, I’m sorry! I didn’t know my stories would offend you…” Jennie kept blaming herself and apologizing. She deliberately made it seem like Joanna was easy to get annoyed.
Joanna took a deep breath and said, “You don’t have to apologize to me!”
Jennie said, “Oh, Joanna. I thought you got angry.”
Joanna rolled her eyes slightly and said, with a faint smile, “No! Why should I be angry?”
Jennie said, “I knew it. Joanna looks like a magnanimous person! What I talked about are things that happened long ago. Of course, Joanna won’t take it
to heart!”
Joanna retorted bluntly, “You already said those things happened when you were young. What’s the point of bringing them up? Thus, there is no reason to get mad at them.”
Jennie did not know how to process that. However, she tried to remain calm. Then she said, “Bruce also said he would dote on me as my brother did.. Bruce, you can’t go back on your word!”
Joanna sneered and said half–jokingly, “Bruce’s memory is not very good. Miss Jennie, you’d better not expect too much.”
“Bruce won’t. Bruce will definitely remember it…”
Joanna interrupted, “Heh. Bruce promised women so many things. A few days ago, he promised me he would never be alone with a single and beautiful
woman.
“See? Bruce forgot about it in the blink of an eye!” Joanna retorted bluntly.
Joanna thought, “I’m not being jealous. I just don’t like this angelic bitch!
“That woman shows what she wants on her face, but she tries too hard to pretend to be pure. I don’t have to show some respect to this kind of person!”
Hearing Joanna’s words, Bruce even felt it funny and wanted to laugh.
Bruce thought, “Damn it. I can’t believe Joanna will get jealous!”
“Squeak!” Bruce pulled over.
Bruce said, “Jennie, we’ve arrived! You should get out of the car!” Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.
Jennie pretended to look outside and said, “It’s not this street. I need to go to Mason Street ahead.”
Bruce did not want to listen to Jennie anymore. Thus, he directly rejected, “It’s not far away. Besides, it’s inconvenient to park there. Why don’t you get out of the car and walk over there?”
Hearing this, Jennie changed her expression. She cried, “Bruce, I’m wearing high heels!
“I have to walk two streets. How is that possible? Send me there, please!” Jennie said as she pouted and looked at Bruce pitifully.
Then Jennie placed her hand on Bruce’s arm and acted coquettishly.
Bruce hesitated for seconds and said, “Alright!” He had no choice but to let go of the brake and drive toward Mason Street.
Five minutes later, Bruce drove the car to the street Jennie specified.
Many pedestrians were on the street. Thus, Bruce could not drive too fast.
Jennie said, “Wow. This place becomes bustling!
“That’s it. I want to go to that street! Bruce, you can park your car there.”
Bruce said impatiently, “We’re here. Now get out of the car!”
Jennie said, “Thank you, Brúce. Thank you for being my free driver today! I’ll invite you for a meal another day!”
Bruce didn’t ever look at Jennie and said, “Okay. We will see.”
Then Jennie pushed open the car door and got out elegantly.
After getting out of the car, Jennie said goodbye to them. “Bruce, Joanna, bye!”
Joanna frowned slightly and waved at Jennie perfunctorily.
Bruce pouted and looked unhappy.
Bruce thought, “Today, I have encountered Jennie three times. That is definitely not a coincidence. Unfortunately, Jennie acted so well, and I couldn’t say a word about it.
1 can feel my car immersed in the air brought by that angelic bitch even though she had gotten off.
“But I had to say Jennie is more scheming than Joanna and Roxanne.”
Bruce said, “Joanna, sit in the passenger seat now!”
“There’s no need for that. Getting off and changing the seat sound troublesome. I’ll be fine sitting at the back!” Joanna’s voice sounded cold.
Bruce explained, “Joanna, Jennie is a little girl. You don’t have to take it to heart!”
Joanna sneered and said, “I didn’t take it to heart!”
“Heh. Alright then! I’m afraid you’ll overthink it!”
“You are the one overthinking it. Why do you have to explain? Your explanation makes things worse!”
“Alright, alright! Everything is fine as long as you don’t overthink it!” Bruce quickly stopped talking. He was scared that Joanna would get mad at him.
Bruce thought, “When a woman is jealous, it is best not to add fuel to the fire.
“I had to say some women are good at seducing men. They can always create all kinds of coincidences and unavoidable small favors.”
Jennie failed to seduce Bruce. However, she had already achieved her goal.
What Jennie had already annoyed Joanna.
Joanna always felt Bruce was a playboy and thought Bruce had affairs with many women.
After seeing Jennie, Joanna was assertive that Bruce was a playboy.
Joanna thought, “I will never remarry Bruce easily!”
Soon, they arrived at the Haynes Group.
“We’re here,” said Bruce.
“Yes, thank you!” Joanna opened the door and got out of the car.
Bruce suddenly stopped Joanna, “Joanna?”
Joanna turned around and asked, “Yeah?”
“Don’t work too hard. I’ll come and pick you up tonight.”
Joanna said, “No need. I can drive myself back!” Then she walked straight to the elevator.
Seeing this, Bruce felt nervous. “Joanna, wait for me!” When speaking, Bruce got out of the car and chased after Joanna.
Joanna asked, “What are you coming over?”
Bruce smiled awkwardly and said, “Haha. I want to stay here with you since I don’t have anything to do this afternoon.”
When Joanna heard that, she frowned and said, “I don’t need you. I have to get back to work now! You’ll only distract me if you stay here.”
“Don’t worry! I won’t disturb you. Just do what you need to do. I’ll just sit aside and watch you.”
Joanna frowned even harder. However, she did not say anything.
Bruce smiled gently and put his arm around Joanna’s shoulder.
Soon, they walked in and passed the front desk of the company.
“Hi, Mr. Everett and Miss Haynes!”
Joanna replied plainly, “Hi.” Then she walked toward her office uneasily.
On the contrary, Bruce did not feel uneasy. It seemed that he and Joanna had never separated and that he had never been with Roxanne.
“Wow. It looks like Mr. Everett is going to remarry Miss Haynes.”
“You don’t say. They openly go out together now and don’t avoid people.”
“So what? They already have three children. Their remarriage is good for the children.”
“How about Miss Roxanne? What will happen to her?”
“It’s none of our business. Now get back to work!”
Soon, Joanna returned to the office.
Joanna put down her bag and looked at the time.
It was one o’clock in the afternoon.
Joanna used to take a half–an–hour nap at this time. Otherwise, she would be listless in the afternoon.
But now, Joanna did not want to take a nap since Bruce was here.
Therefore, Joanna pulled herself together and sat on the office chair.
Bruce asked, “Joanna?”
“What?”
Bruce replied, smiling, “Nothing. I like looking at you this way.”
