The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife (Joanna)

Chapter 106 Five minutes later, Joanna was almost suffocating. It was only then that Bruce reluctantly let go of her.

If she had not been hurt badly yesterday and he did not want to hurt her again, he would not have been able to control himself.

Joanna's entire body was weak. She fell weakly onto the chair and looked at Bruce in fear.

She said. “Bruce, don’t touch me again...

She was really afraid of him.

That kind of unbearable dominance and strength. That feeling of forced submission. Perhaps, some women just liked the feeling of being subdued! But she really could not take it.

Looking at Joanna's tearful eyes that were filled with fear, she was simply like a frightened deer. She was very beautiful, so much so that her look could intoxicate people.

Bruce's emotions were affected by Joanna's fear and vulnerability. He hugged her gently and said, “Be good and listen to me.

You're not allowed to think about anything else. And you're not allowed to date other men.” Joanna was left speechless. Her heart ski pped a beat.

“Did you hear that?” Bruce said as he raised her chin and stared deeply into her eyes.

Joanna's eyes flickered. She avoided his gaze. “Bruce, | beg you not to force me anymore!” she said..

Bruce raised her chin and said in a low voice, “If you don’t behave, I'll be angry! “From today onwards, you're not allowed to date other men! If | find out, you know the consequences!” Joanna was left speechless. She frowned gently.

She really had to think of a way to avoid this domineering man.

“Respond to me!” Bruce said.

Joanna's chin hurt from being pinched. She replied helplessly, “Got it!" After hearing her answer, Bruce smiled satisfactorily. He planted a kiss on her forehead and kissed her lips.

“I'll leave then,” Bruce said. “I'll come and see you tomorrow.” “Okay,” Joanna said. Pretending to cry, she wanted him to leave as soon as possible.

“Give your husband a kiss!” Bruce said.

Puff! Joanna really could not take it anymore. She tried her best to break free from his control.

“Bruce, that's enough!” Joanna said.

Bruce curled her lips slightly and said with a faint smile, “You're not being obedient again, are you?” Joanna's heart ski pp ed a beat. She took a deep breath and gently kissed his cheek. However, the kiss was very light, like a feather gently brushing against his cheek.

Chapter 106 Bruce smiled. No matter what, Joanna had started to give in. “That's good!” he said. “If you're good, | will dote on you!” When Joanna heard that, she swallowed her anger and ignored him.

“I'm leaving!” Bruce said. With that, he stood up and left.

After all, there was still a pile of work in his company waiting for him to deal with. He could not really stay in the Haynes. Group all day.

After Bruce left. Cora hurriedly knocked on the door and entered. She looked at Joanna with lingering fear and said, “Miss Haynes, are you okay? Did Mr. Everett make things difficult for you again?” “I'm fine, Joanna said. She breathed a sigh of relief, propped her hand on the desk, and held her forehead in frustration.

This can't go on like this,” she thought.

If she wanted to dissociate herself from Bruce, she had to stay away from him.

“Cora, have you checked the factory site in Porash that | asked you to look into?” Joanna said.

“I've been looking at it for the past two days,” Cora said. “There are two suitable locations, but the rent is a little high.” Joanna sighed and said, “The company needs to expand its business model now. Mossbourne is developing very fast, so we need to seize the opportunity and open a branch in Mossbourne.

“After all, the rent in Greyport is too high, and the labor cost is also high. It's not a bad idea to move the factory to Porash.

“Make some preparation. Come with me to Porash tomorrow to inspect the factory sites.” “Alright, Miss Haynes!” Cora said.

Joanna made up her mind. If she wanted to get rid of Bruce's entanglement, she had to leave Greyport.

Now, taking advantage of the opportunity of expanding the scale of the Haynes Group, she planned to set her sights on Mossbourne. After all, Greyport's rapid development had almost reached its limit.

If she wanted to make a strong comeback, she could only explore new opportunities for development. Porash and Greyport were separated by sea, and they were also special economic zones. It was just the perfect place to build a factory.

After Cora left, Joanna did not dare to delay any longer. She hurriedly turned on her computer and prepared to deal with her current work.

She had to hurry up and arrange her current work as she would visit the site in Porash tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.

At the Haynes's house. Ingrid was still knocking on the door of her daughter's room. “Roxy, come out quickly!” she said. “Bruce really asked you out for dinner tonight...” “Mom, can you stop bothering me?” Roxanne said.

“Beep! Beep Beep!” Roxanne’s phone rang.

Roxanne picked up her phone and glanced at it. Surprisingly, it was a call from Bruce.

Roxanne was instantly overjoyed. She quickly jumped off the bed and opened the door. “Mom, be quiet,” she said. “Bruce is calling!” Upon hearing this, Ingrid immediately stopped talking. Her face was full of anticipation.

Roxanne closed the door again and answered the call. “Hello, Bruce,” she said. “You finally call me?” 12:49 Fri, 23 Jun.

Chapter 106 Bruce's cold voice could be heard from the other end of the line. “Roxy, are you free tonight?” he asked, “Oh yes, | am, Roxanne said.

I'll pick you up tonight, Bruce said. “Let's have dinner together.” Upon hearing that. Roxanne restrained her excitement and responded softly, “Okay, Bruce *Alright, get ready!” Bruce said. “I'll pick you up at eight in the evening.” “Okay,” Roxanne said.

Bruce hung up the phone as soon as he finished talking.

After hanging up, Roxanne was still a little surprised and flattered.

Bruce had not taken the initiative to call her for a long time, but tonight, he actually took the initiative to call and ask her out for dinner.

After Roxanne hung up. Ingrid could not wait to ask. “Roxy, what did Bruce say?” Ingrid asked.

“Mom. Bruce just called me and said that we'll have dinner together later!” Roxanne said.

Upon hearing that, Ingrid smiled brightly and said, “I told you so, but you didn’t believe me. Quick, get out of bed and dress. up nicely.” “Okay!” Roxanne said. She brightened up and quickly got out of bed to wash her hair and put on makeup.

At eight in the evening, Bruce's car arrived punctually at the entrance of the Haynes's house.

Roxanne looked especially beautiful today. She had put in a lot of effort to dress up and even had her nails done. “Bruce, where are we going to eat tonight?” she asked.

“Um, how about going to Blue Pavilion, that place we went the other day?” Bruce said.

Roxanne smiled gracefully and said, “Okay!” Bruce then turned on the ignition.

“Bruce, why do you have time to ask me out for dinner today?” Roxanne asked.

Bruce was driving. His profile looked like a sculpture, perfect and extremely cold. “Well, I've got something to tell you,” he said.

Roxanne’s heart ski p ped a beat. She asked carefully, “What is it?” “Let's talk about it over dinner,” Bruce said.

“Alright!” Roxanne said. Her eyes flickered for a moment. She felt uneasy.

Bruce stopped talking. He drove the car quietly.

Half an hour later, the car pulled up by the entrance of Blue Pavilion.

“Let's go in Bruce said.

“Okay,” Roxanne said.

Bruce got out of the car alone. In the past, he would always open the door for Roxanne like a gentleman.

But today, after getting out of the car, he walked straight to the restaurant. Moreover, he walked very fast.

12:49 Fri, 23 Jun Chapter 106 Roxanne quickly got out of the car and followed Bruce.

They entered the restaurant.

Bruce had already reserved a table. It was the same one near the window when they came previously.

“What do you want to eal?” “Steak and mushroom soup, please!” “Alright!” “Me too!" “Sure, please wait a moment!” The service manager came forward to serve them personally.

After a while, the steak was served.

Bruce did not say a word during the nearly twenty minutes of waiting for food. The atmosphere was quite gloomy and awkward.

Finally, Roxanne could not stand it anymore. She filled the silence by saying something. “Bruce, you said earlier that your have something to tell me,” she said. “What is it?” Bruce cut the steak and looked up.

Roxanne looked at him expectantly, with big and attractive eyes that were full of gentleness and vulnerability.

Bruce shifted his gaze again and glanced at the deep cut on her wrist. He chewed his steak, but still hesitated.

If he were to mention breaking up with her now, she would probably try to hurt herself again.

“Um, about the wedding. Bruce said.

“Oh, what about the wedding?” Roxanne asked.

Bruce paused for a few seconds. “I'm a little busy this year, so the wedding may have to be postponed until next year.” Roxanne was left speechless. When she heard that, her heart sk i p ped a beat.

They had originally agreed to get married in October, but now it was suddenly postponed to next year.

She knew that he did not want to get married and that he was making excuses to postpone it.

“Bruce, the wedding can be postponed until next year,” Roxanne said. “We can get the marriage license first and temporarily not hold the wedding...” Without waiting for Roxanne to finish talking, Bruce interrupted her and said, “No. Grandma's health isn’t good. We have to wait for Grandma to recover before holding the wedding. We'll talk about it next year.” Upon hearing this, Roxanne was even more stunned. She was holding the knife and fork to cut the steak earlier. She now stopped cutting the steak.

Judging from Bruce's tone, he might not even marry her next year.

However, she did not know how to argue back. Fortunately, Bruce did not mention breaking up. This made her feel a little more at ease.

After a while, Roxanne broke the silence again and asked softly, “Bruce, is it because of Joanna?” Bruce's eyes turned cold. He raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Roxanne coldly as he said, “You should not compare, 12:49 Fri, 23 Jun.

Chapter 106 yourself to Joanna or think that Joanna's actions will affect your relationship with me.

“I don’t want anyone to interfere in the matter between me and Joanna, including you!” Ji When Roxanne heard this, she felt as if her heart had been stabbed by a knife was cold and painful, and her eyes instantly turned teary.

Despite feeling dissatisfied, she did not dare to say anything more.

Ever since Bruce found out that Roxanne lied to him, she had become extremely submissive and humble whenever she was in his presence.

She was no longer the little princess that he doted on.

While Roxanne was silent, Bruce had already finished his steak.

“Are you full?” Bruce asked.

Roxanne was not in the mood to eat anymore. She stuttered and said, “I'm full.” “Let's go then!” Bruce said, getting up from his seat eagerly.

Roxanne was stunned. He looked at Bruce in a daze and said, “Bruce, where are we going? “It's still so early. Why don’t we go watch a movie?” “I have a meeting tonight,” Bruce said. “I'll send you back first.” Upon hearing that, Roxanne felt even more upset.

She spent the whole afternoon dressing up for the date, but now, after less than an hour of dining out, he was so eager to send her back.

“Bruce, it's still so early,” Roxanne said. “I don’t want to go back! Can you accompany me a little longer?” She spoke gently.

There was even a hint of pleading in her tone.

Bruce frowned for a moment. Eventually, he still turned her down. “Let's do it another day,” he said. “I have to attend an international meeting tonight.” SEND GIFT
