The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife By Zara Gibbon Chapter 286

Ever since their divorce, he had been hoping that Joanna would take the initiative to contact him every night.

Unfortunately, Joanna did not contact him ever once.

Even after she returned to Greyport, she had almost never taken the initiative to send him a message.

“Ahem, ahem!” Bruce subconsciously let out a cough.

These three simple words actually made him feel butterflies in his stomach. Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Bruce deliberately waited half an hour before slowly replying, “What’s the matter?”

“Ding dong!”

When the three kids heard the phone ring, they immediately gathered together to check.

“Daddy texted back! Daddy texted back!”

“Quick, take a look. What did Daddy say?”

Davian frowned and said, “He replied with three words, ‘What’s the matter“!”

Irvin blinked. “Davian, how should we reply then?”

“Well…”

The three kids tilted their heads and thought for a long time.

Lilia suggested, “Why don’t we just apologize to Daddy directly? Just say that I shouldn’t have made you angry and that i shouldn’t have met Mr. Grimm!”

“No, no. This is too straightforward. Daddy definitely won’t be appeased, ”

“Then how do you think we should reply?”

Davian rolled his eyes. He was the smartest of the three.

He thought for a while and typed a few words on the phone. [Are you still up?]

“Swoosh!”

The message was sent to Bruce again.

Irvin grinned. “Ah, it’s so simple. Will it work?”

“That’s right. Daddy is in a fit of anger now. You have to coax Daddy well! Say some sweet words in Mommy’s tone. If Daddy is happy, he might not be angry anymore!”

“You don’t understand. You have to flirt slowly. Let’s see Daddy’s reaction first.”

Soon.

Bruce received a message from “Joanna.”

[Are you still up?]

After reading the message, Bruce couldn’t fall asleep anymore. His heart was itchy.

“This damn woman finally couldn’t take it anymore and came to make peace.

“However, she made a mistake that went against my principles, so I’m not going to forgive her easily,” thought he.

1Speak up!] Bruce replied coldly.

“Daddy texted back again!”

Irvin could not help but worry after reading it. “Ugh, how do we reply? Daddy’s reaction is very cold.”

“Yes, let me think about it.”

[I can’t sleep. Missing you…] Davian typed a line of words on the screen and sent it over.

After Bruce read the message, a warm smile appeared on his face.

This was the first time Joanna had confessed to him so “emotionally.”

“This damned woman had finally given in.

“Since she had given in, I have to put on airs to let her know that I’m a man of principle,” thought he.

Therefore, Bruce resisted the urge to reply and put his phone aside.

“When it comes to women, you gotta keep them interested but not too close. Play it cool. That way, she’ll feel unsure, and that’s when she’ll give you her heart completely,” said he inwardly.

Half an hour later.

Before the three kids could receive a reply from their daddy, they were already so sleepy that they could not take it anymore.

Irvin let out a big yawn. “Why isn’t Daddy replying?”

Lilia could not help but rub her sleepy eyes. “Yes! I’m so sleepy.”

“It looks like Daddy won’t reply today. Let’s go to bed!”

“Davian, is this method going to work? Why do I feel like it’s useless?”

Davian said proudly, “We have to take it slow. That’s all for today. Let’s continue tomorrow.”

“Okay, let’s go back to sleep.”

“Okay.”

Davian and Irvin yawned and sneaked out of Lilia’s room. They returned to their rooms to sleep.

Lilia enjoyed a bedroom alone, and the two boys shared a room.

As the room was relatively close, the servants did not notice.

Bruce waited for a long time. Seeing that Joanna did not reply, he could not help but fall asleep.

The next day.

Bruce got up early in the morning and felt exceptionally refreshed today. He didn’t look as unpleasant as a few days ago.

“Good morning, Daddy!” The three little kids were sitting at the dining table and having breakfast.

Bruce hurriedly adjusted the collar of his suit and rushed out. “Good morning, babies!

“Daddy is going overseas for a business trip later. Be good at home, the three of you!”

“Yes, yes, we understand.”

“Lilian, arrange for a driver to send the boys to school later.”

“Mr. Everett, leave it to me!”

Each of the three kids had five servants, drivers, and nannies. Even if Bruce and Joanna were not around, there was no need to worry that no one would take care of them.

Bruce looked at the time and hurried out to the airport.

He was flying to Escostan today.

“Mr. Everett, the luggage is ready.”

“Alright, let’s go!”

In the car.

Along the way, Bruce kept checking his phone.

He kept thinking about Joanna and flipping through the chat history with her.

10:57

He could choose not to reply to her messages, but he wanted her to keep sending him messages.

Unfortunately, Joanna did not send another message.

“Ugh, that damn woman is very arrogant! Could it be that she retreated when she saw that I didn’t reply?

“How about I take the initiative to reply to her?

“No, I have to hold it in. This damn woman was spoiled too much. That’s why she doesn’t take me seriously,” said he inwardly.

He was conflicted in his heart. The expression on his face alternated between melancholy and mysterious smiles.

Andy and Mark secretly looked at each other. They were so frightened that they did not even dare to breathe.

“Mr. Everett rarely had such rich facial expressions.

“What was he thinking about today? He was so serious and focused,” they wondered.

At Porash.

Joanna was not idle.

She had been in Mossbourne for the past two days. With her personally taking action, she had managed to win back several old

clients.

“The technology exhibition will be held in the convention center.

“The venue has been rented. Miss Haynes, you can take a look personally.”

“Okay, okay!”

Michael introduced, “This place can accommodate up to three thousand people at the same time, and our product cabinets will be placed here.”

Joanna frowned and pondered. “Have you decided on the internet celebrity who will be invited for the live broadcast?”

“Miss Haynes, I suggest you consult Brother Trumpet. He’s the leader of the internet celebrity world. He definitely knows more.”

“Okay.”

“Bring me the phone. I’ll call him.”

“There you go.”

Joanna took the phone and called Brother Trumpet.

“Beep, beep, beep.”

The call was quickly picked up.

Brother Trumpet’s slightly surprised voice came from the other end of the phone. “Hello!”

“Hello, Brother Trumpet. I’m Joanna Haynes.”

“Hello, Ms. Haynes. We haven’t talked in a long time. I thought you had forgotten about me.”

“Why would I? There’s been an accident recently.”

Brother Trumpet smiled awkwardly and asked with concern, “I heard of it. Are you alright?”

“I’m fine.”

“That’s good!” Brother Trumpet didn’t know what else to say.

He was clearly talkative, but when faced with Joanna, he inexplicably felt inferior.

“By the way, my company is going to find a few popular live broadcasters. Brother Trumpet, do you have any recommendations?”

“Well, I’ve already heard from Mr. Lawrence. I’ll call my friends tonight and see who’s more suitable!”

“That’s great. Thank you in advance!”

Brother Trumpet paused for a few seconds. “I’m going to start a live broadcast soon. Let’s have a good chat when we meet next

10:52

Chapter 286 week.”

“Alright!”

“Then see you soon!”

“Good–bye.”

After hanging up, Joanna began to look around the exhibition hall again.

“Set this place up again and take down that board. The lights have to be controlled. There’s bound to be a lot more media that day.

“The security equipment also needs to be done well.

“This is our first step into the Mossbourne market. We have to do a good job at this technology exhibition,” said Joanna.

“Got it, Miss Haynes.”

Michael and Nicholas, along with the planning director and marketing manager, carefully prepared the exhibition.

Joanna naturally had to be hands–on as the boss, running around and giving orders.

By the time she was done, it was already past nine in the evening.

Joanna returned to the hotel and took a hot shower. She was so tired that she soon fell asleep on the bed.

At Lundi Airport.

After more than ten hours of flight, Bruce arrived at Antlen, his first stop in Escostan.

There was an eight–hour time difference between Antlen and Greyport.

Therefore, it was only in the afternoon when he got off the plane.

Bruce met with a client there and then went to inspect the company in Antlen.

While he was inspecting the company, his phone vibrated.

“Beep, beep, beep.”

There was a message from Messenger.

Bruce guessed that it must be Joanna. He had been waiting for her reply for a day.

He quickly took out his phone to check. It was indeed from Joanna.

However, there was no word but just a cute emoji.

Bruce was stunned.
