The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife By Zara Gibbon Chapter 288

Before going to bed, Bruce’s Messenger prompt sounded as usual.

[Honey, when are you coming back?]

Bruce was overjoyed and wished that the plane would take off tonight. [I’ll fly back tomorrow. I want to see you.]

[That’s great. I want to see you too.]

[I’ll text you when I get on the plane.]

[Okay!]

[I’m going to sleep!]

[Good night, honey. Kiss!]

After sending the Messenger messages, the three little guys were worried again.

Irvin looked melancholic. “What should we do? Daddy will be back tomorrow! When Daddy comes back and finds out the truth, will he be even angrier?”

Davian analyzed calmly for a few seconds. “Yes, I think he will. But from Daddy’s tone, he is no longer angry with Mommy. What we have to do now is to arrange for them to meet.”

“Daddy will definitely be willing to see Mommy, but if we want Mommy to be willing to see Daddy, we have to think of a way!”

“How about we just call Mommy and confess everything to her? That way, we can call Mommy to come over directly!”

Davian’s face was solemn. “That won’t work. If Mommy knew the truth, she definitely wouldn’t come over.”

“So what do we do?”

“I’ll call Mommy first and find out what she thinks.”

“Mm…”

Davian picked up the phone again and made a video call to Joanna through Messenger.

Beep, beep, beep.

Joanna’s phone rang again.

Soon, Joanna picked up the call. “Hello, baby.” NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.

“Mommy!”

Joanna smiled at Davian in the video. “What are you guys doing?”

Davian chuckled and blinked cutely. “Mommy, um… Are you free tomorrow?”

Joanna was stunned. It would be Saturday tomorrow. It was not yet time to visit the children. “What’s wrong, baby?”

“We miss you. We want to see Mommy.”

“I miss you guys too, but I’m still in Mossbourne.”

“Mommy, when are you coming back?”

“Maybe the day after tomorrow! I’ll visit you on Sunday.”

When Davian heard this, he paused for a few seconds. “Mommy, can you come back tomorrow?”

“Anything happened, baby?”

Irvin also squeezed into the video and said, “Um, Daddy will be back from overseas tomorrow!”

“Oh!”

Lilia’s eyes curved into a smile. “We want to pick Daddy up at the airport tomorrow and give him a surprise. We want Mommy to accompany us!”

Joanna’s face darkened when she heard that. She said patiently, “I don’t think that will work. I’m preparing for an exhibition. I don’t

have time at the moment!”

“I see! Can’t you take just one day off?”

“I’ll visit you guys on Sunday, okay?”

The three little guys looked disappointed. “Mommy…”

“I’m busy now. Talk to you later. See you!”

After Joanna blew the three little guys a kiss, she hung up the video call.

“Mommy hung up? Mommy said she was in Mossbourne. She definitely won’t be able to come back tomorrow.”

“So what do we do now?”

Irvin was smart. After rolling his eyeballs, he suddenly had an idea. “Hey, how about this? We’ll lie to Mommy and say that Lilia is

sick.

“In that case, Mommy will definitely come.

“When Daddy and Mommy meet, they might reconcile.”

When Davian and Lilia heard this, they also felt that it was a good idea. “Yes, let’s do it!”

The next day, it was Saturday.

It happened that the children did not have to go to school.

Bruce’s flight was at two o’clock in the afternoon!

Beep, beep, beep!

At one o’clock in the afternoon, Joanna’s phone rang again.

“Hello…”

Davian said anxiously, “Mommy, bad news. Lilia is sick!”

Boom!

On the other end of the line, Joanna felt a chill run down her spine. “What did you say?”

“Lilia suddenly feels her stomach hurt terribly and she keeps vomiting.”

“Is there no one in the house?”

“The servants are on holiday. We don’t know what to do.”

Joanna panicked. “How is that possible? Get the driver to send Lilia to the hospital first…”

“No, I can’t make it. Lilia can’t take it anymore. Mommy, come quickly!”

Joanna’s mind was filled with worry for her daughter, so she didn’t have time to think too much. “Where are you now?”

“We’re at Sherane Bay Villa!”

“I’ll be right there!”

“Mommy, come quickly. Lilia can’t take the pain anymore!”

* “Okay, I will!”

After Joanna hung up, she was so anxious that she broke out in cold sweat.

She hurriedly called Bruce!

“Hello, the number you have dialed is unavailable…”

Seeing Joanna’s anxious expression, Cora asked with concern, “Miss Haynes, what happened?”

“Cora, I have to hurry to Sherane Bay Villa. Lilia is sick.”

10-52

“Huh?” Upon hearing this, Cora also started to worry.

Lilia had been sickly since she was young and would fall sick at any time. Therefore, they did not suspect that the news was fake.

“Miss Haynes, you go quickly! Lilia is more important.”

“Cora, I’ll leave here to you. You’re in charge of these.”

“Okay, I got it. Miss Haynes!”

Joanna was burning with anxiety. She couldn’t care about the exhibition and hurriedly drove to Greyport.

An hour later, Joanna rushed to Sherane Bay Villa.

“Miss Haynes, what brings you here…” The guards were very surprised to see Joanna.

“Hurry up and open the door. Davian called me and said Lilia is sick!”

“Oh, oh, oh…” When the guards heard that Lilia was sick, they hurriedly opened the gate and let Joanna in!

Everyone knew that Lilia was the apple of Mr. Everett’s eye. She was more favored than her two brothers. If anything really happened to her, they could not bear the responsibility.

At the entrance, Davian and Irvin were already waiting. “Mommy, you’re finally here!”

“Davian, Irvin, where is Lilia?”

“Lilia is inside!”

As they spoke, Davian and Irvin held Joanna’s hands and ran into the courtyard.

Sherane Bay Villa was huge!

It took a long time for them to just walk to the front yard.

The two little guys led Joanna into the inner courtyard.

On the huge lawn, there was a foam background board.

There was also a moon arch made of foam on both sides, and it was filled with flowers.

There were still children’s drawings pasted on the background board! Although it looked simple, it was very warm. It was obvious that the children had meticulously decorated it.

Lilia was wearing a princess dress and sitting on the lawn. When she saw Joanna, she happily waved at her. “Mommy, I’m here.”

Joanna panicked and hurriedly ran over to check. “Lilia, how are you?”

Lilia blinked her big eyes and smiled sweetly. “Mommy, my stomach hurt a little just now. I’m much better now!”

When Joanna heard this, she heaved a sigh of relief and hugged her daughter. “You almost scared me to death!”

Just as they were talking, the gate of the villa opened again, and a few luxury cars drove in.

Bruce happened to come back.

Through the car window, Bruce saw Joanna.

Moreover, the lawn was decorated romantically. It was obvious that a welcome party had been carefully prepared for him.

Bruce felt warm in his heart. He thought it was decorated by Joanna and the children!

The resentment he had toward Joanna before had completely dissipated!

“Mommy, Daddy is back!”

Joanna turned around and saw that Bruce had indeed returned.

“Mommy, let me tell you a secret. Daddy really wants to get back together with you!”

Joanna frowned when she heard that.

The car door slowly opened!

10:52

Bruce got out of the car with long legs!

Even though he had been on the plane for more than ten hours, he did not look tired at all. He was still dressed in a suit and leather shoes, looking energetic. His handsome face exuded a high–spirited aura.

After seeing Bruce, Joanna was filled with anger.

“You’re here…” Bruce greeted her with a smile.

Joanna’s face darkened. “Bruce, how could you leave the children at home for so long?”

Bruce was stunned!

“If you can’t give the children enough company, return them to me. Do you know that Lilia felt sick just now?”

Bruce was even more confused. He hurriedly went forward to check.

“Mommy, Daddy, Lilia is fine now!” Davian and Irvin hurriedly acted as peacemakers.

Bruce vaguely felt that something was wrong.

Joanna’s attitude toward him was fierce and did not have the slightest bit of tenderness.

“Joanna, do you know what you’re talking about?”

Joanna looked at Bruce coldly. “I know! You’re a busy person, but children need their parents by their side.

“You left seven or eight days and left the children to the servants. What if something happens?

“For the sake of the children’s health and growth, it’s better for them to live with me!”
