El regreso de su inigualable ex esposa novel Chapter 789

Chapter 789

Bruce and Joanna took three bows before the tombstone.

Cassius and Jaydon, also Tim’s family members, bowed in return

It was an extremely solemn atmosphere. There was a shadow hanging over the guests present.

Jaydon had scarlet and swollen eyes, with messy stubble in the jaw. His face looked dark and gloomy.

He must be haggard since his father had gone.

Just a glance at Jaydon’s exhausted expression made Joanna heartbroken. She really wanted to comfort him.

Unfortunately, even if she had thousands of words, she could only suppress them deep in her heart.

“Jay, I’m so sorry for your loss.”

“Thank you,” Jaydon replied indifferently.

He was not surprised that Joanna attended the funeral.

What surprised him was that Bruce also came along.

The two of them had always been mortal enemies. He had even suffered a few setbacks due to Bruce,

Therefore, the two men were adverse against each other like fire and water. Even if they just met, there was a sense of mutual hostility.

However, today was not a good day for a fight. They had a tacit understanding and ignored each other’s existence.

In Jaydon’s heart, as long as Bruce treated Joanna well, he did not want to embarrass him too much.

“Let’s go!” Bruce put his arm around Joanna’s shoulder.

When they passed by Cassius, the two of them looked at each other.

Cassius nodded slightly at him in thanks. Bruce walked past him expressionlessly with Joanna in his arms.

“Mr. Everett attended Mr. Tim’s funeral? So unexpected.”

“That’s right! Mr. Everett and Mr. Jaydon have always been love rivaling in love. I didn’t expect Mr. Everett to attend the funeral today.”

“What a surprise.”

“It’s not a surprise at all. In business, there’s no such thing as a permanent friend or a permanent enemy. Everyone wants benefits to coexist and seeks cooperation. Those small conflicts are not worth mentioning.”

“That’s true.”

A few pairs of guests were also silently watching the show.

Bruce did not like such crowded occasions. He hated the feeling of everyone’s gazes on him, which urged him to leave.

“Joann, we’ve already paid our respects. Let’s go!”

“Mm, okay.”

When they just walked out of the cemetery, the reporters started snapping photos upon the sight of this couple.

“No photos are allowed. Everyone, show us a line.” A large group of security personnel maintained order and did not allow the reporters to approach.

Finally, Bruce and Joanna got into the car and left the park under the escort of bodyguards.

In the car, Joanna’s heart was heavy. An involuntary anxiety ran through her body. She had been worried about Jaydon.

Now that Tim had suddenly passed away, she was afraid that there would be a war of inheritance between Jaydon and his siblings.

Jaydon had always been self-possessed and indifferent to fame and wealth. He was not the kind of greedy man who had a

morbid lust for money.

However, his brother, Cassius, was the same kind of man as Bruce, who had a strong desire for money and power.

She was really worried that Jaydon would suffer greatly in the war with Cassius.

As Joanna was feeling uneasy, Bruce suddenly said, “Joann, I’m going to Sootheration tomorrow.”

When Joanna heard this, she looked at Bruce in surprise. “Why are you going there?”

Bruce smiled at her dotingly. “Of course, it’s a business trip.”

“A business trip again?” Joanna’s pretty eyes instantly widened!

“How long this time?”

“Well, it’ll be very fast. Three days at most.” His lips curled into a strange smile.

When Joanna heard this, she looked at him sadly, her eyes moving in a disturbance.

Fortunately, it was only for three days. Moreover, it was a domestic trip.

There shouldn’t be any big problems.

“What’s wrong? Can’t bear to part with your husband?” Bruce said in a playful tone.

Hearing this, Joanna leaned in his arms and placed her delicate hand on his chest, like a timid and lovable little woman.

She was indeed afraid of being separated from him now.

Every time they separated, an accident would happen to him and she felt like they would part forever.

“Why don’t… you come with me?” Bruce said and planted a kiss on her forehead gently.
