The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife (Joanna) novel Chapter 1045

Chapter 1045 

“Bruce! Bruce…” Aria called out, heartbroken. 

However, Bruce had left in a huff. 

“Bruce, why are you so cold to me?” Aria closed her eyes, tears streaming down her cheeks. 

She could tell how much Bruce loved his wife, which made her full of jealousy. 

Joanna was so lucky to be loved by Bruce. She must be the happiest woman in the world. 

Even now, Aria still could not figure out what Bruce loved about Joanna. 

Was it just because she was beautiful and had given birth to four children for him? 

Did he really love her that much? 

In Aria’s eyes, Joanna was rather ordinary. Other than her beautiful appearance, she did not have anything special about her. Why would a man like Bruce love her wholeheartedly? 

Aria did not know that Joanna had saved Bruce’s life twice. Moreover, she almost died several times because of him. 

After they had been through so much, no woman could replace her in Bruce’s heart. 

Bruce did not feel better after leaving Aria’s room. 

Aria still wanted to get back together with him, so he had to be cautious. 

He made up his mind not to see her again after this mission. 

Bruce took out a cigarette irritatingly and was about to light it. 

Then, he suddenly saw Darcy looking at him uneasily from the other end of the corridor. 

“Mr. Everett.” 

“What are you doing here?” 

“No-nothing,” Darcy replied nervously. 

If Bruce found out that Grace was in his room, he was dead. 

“Give me your phone.” 

“Okay,” Darcy replied and quickly handed the phone to him. Bruce dialed Joanna’s number. 

He could not figure out why Joanna was mad at him. 

The phone rang for a long time before Joanna picked it up. 

She said, her voice a little hoarse, “Hello, Darcy!” 

Hearing Joanna’s voice, Bruce called out excitedly, causing the cigarette between his lips to fall to the ground, “Honey, it’s me!” 

After freezing for a few seconds, Joanna was about to hang up. 

“Honey, don’t hang up the phone. Even if you want me to die, you have to let me know why. What did I do wrong? Why did you block my number?” Bruce said chokingly, his eyes turning red from anger. 

In this world, only Joanna could piss him off and make him cry. 

He was conquered by this woman. 

“You know well what you have done.” Joanna grew agitated as she spoke. 

Bruce blinked. He was so angry that he felt like his lungs were about to explode. 

What did he do? 

He was now defending his country. 

“Make yourself clear. I don’t know what I did wrong.” 

Joanna was so pissed off that tears welled up in her eyes. “Forget it if you don’t know. Bruce, let’s get a divorce!” 

Bruce’s head buzzed. He closed his eyes, his heart ached so much as if it was being pricked by needles. 

“Honey, we agreed to be honest with each other. I really don’t know what I did wrong. Can you tell me?” 

Joanna sneered. “Bruce, do you know what I hate the most about you?” 

“What’s it?” Bruce asked sadly. 

Joanna said between sobs, sounding heartbroken, “I can’t stand you lying to me.” 

Bruce’s heart skipped a beat. 

That was true. 

Sometimes, he could not tell Joanna the truth, so he had to make up a random 

excuse. 

However, if someone lied once, he had to use countless lies to cover it up. 

As a result, Bruce lied more and more often. 

“Honey, please believe me. I really love you…” 

Joanna shook her head in pain. “I don’t want you to love me, Bruce. I’ve given you so many chances. Every time you broke my heart, I believed you and forgave you. 

“But you let me down again and again. 

“You’re with Aria. Why don’t you have the guts to admit it? Why do you have to lie to me? Tell me, what’s your relationship with her? 

“If you two are truly in love, I’m willing to quit.” 

“Joanna, she and I are really just… classmates.”

“Classmates?” Joanna snorted. 

“If that was the case, how could you stay with her alone in her room, hugged her, and even slept with her?” 

“Who slept with her? Can you not insult me? Am I a man who sleeps around in your eyes?” 

“Don’t try to deny it! You know well how many women you have slept with!” Joanna said coldly. 

Bruce was speechless. 

Indeed, he had had many women before, but that was all in the past. 

It was common for a man to hang out with different women before he met his true love. What was the big deal for a rich bachelor to have fun with a couple of women? 

Besides, he never betrayed Joanna after they got married. 

After pondering for a while, Bruce suddenly realized that something was wrong. How did Joanna know that he hugged Aria and went to her room? 

Bruce’s head buzzed and he unwittingly looked around. 

There might really be Joanna’s spies around him. 

“That’s it! I’ve already prepared a divorce agreement. When you come back, we’ll sign it and get a divorce,” Joanna said coldly. 

Bruce felt a twinge in his heart. “Joanna, are you serious?” 

“I’m serious. I don’t want to live with a man full of beans. 

“Don’t worry. I won’t take anything from you. I just want what I deserve.” 

Joanna was a woman with dignity, and she had never taken Bruce’s money to heart. 

However, people were like this sometimes. If a woman didn’t care about a man’s money, he might want to give everything he had to her. But when a woman tried every means to get more money from a man, he might not want to spend a penny on her and watch out for her as if she were a thief. 

Bruce took a deep breath and struggled to calm himself down. “Honey, I know you’re angry now. I won’t take what you said seriously. 

“I’ll tell you everything when I get home.” 

Joanna sneered and retorted, “I’m not angry. I’m serious. The two of us are indeed not suitable to be husband and wife. It’s better for us to be friends. 

“Don’t worry. We will raise the child together.” Joanna was in despair as she spoke. She really couldn’t stand Bruce lying to her again and again. 

She just couldn’t figure out why Bruce was so addicted to lying. 

Bruce let out a sigh and said gently, “Honey, I know you won’t listen to me no
