The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife (Joanna)

Chapter 1083 Darcy returned to the dormitory with a gloomy expression.

Then Grace ran over. She asked, “Darcy, what did Joann just say to you?” Darcy's eyes darkened and he forced a smile. “Nothing.” “When are you going to talk about resigning?” Grace asked carefully.

Darcy pondered for a few seconds and said in an irrefutable tone, “Grace, | won't resign for the tbeing.” After hearing that, Grace looked disappointed. “Why?” “I just told you that | won't resign for the tbeing. At least for the next year, | won't consider resigning,” Darcy replied.

“Darcy, why are you so stubborn?” “Grace, our relationship isn't very stable yet. We still need tto get used to each other. This year will serve as a period for us to get to know each other better. | don’t want you to regret it in the future. It's also giving you another choice.

“If our relationship is still stable after a year, I will listen to your suggestion and quit my job.” Darcy looked at Grace deeply.

Although Darcy was not as rich as Grace, he was still worth over 20 million dollars. If he didn't blindly indulge in investments or anything like that, this money would be enough for him to live a comfortable life without worries.

Moreover, Darcy had been around Bruce for a long time. It was only natural that he would pick up sof Bruce's character traits and arrogance.

He would rather die than live off a woman.

Grace saw his serious expression and knew that she could not persuade him. She could only make a compromise. Then she said, “Remember what you said. It's a deal.” “It's a deal.” “Pinky promise.” Darcy was amused by Grace's cute and serious tone. He stretched out his finger and hooked it with hers.

“Pinky promise. You're not allowed to lie for 100 years.” After the pinky promise, Grace smiled sweetly and leaped onto Darcy.

She wrapped her legs tightly around him and dangled her arms around his neck.

“Don’t worry. Let alone a year, we'll love each other for the rest of our lives and never be separated.” Grace was incredibly passionate and completely unaware of restraint and reserve. Every day, she took the initiative and was tirelessly enthusiastic.

Due to Grace, Darcy had been feeling a bit overwhelmed these days.

“Haha. Grace, hurry up and cdown. It's broad daylight now. What if someone sees us like this?” ‘I don’t want to. | just like hanging on you like this.” Grace securely hung onto Darcy.

The two had a huge contrast in physiques.

Darcy was tall and burly. With a muscular build, he was nearly 6.6 feet in height. On the other hand, Grace was very petite Chapter 1083 and adorable. Darcy could effortlessly hold her in his arms anytime, just like holding a doll.

And Grace absolutely loved being held by Darcy like this. She could feel her boyfriend's strong presence, which provided her with a sense of security.

It was half past six in the afternoon.

Joanna returned to the house uneasily.

Bruce and the children were already waiting for her to have dinner. Bruce asked, “Joann, where did you go just now?” Joanna's eyes flickered. “Well, it’s nothing. | just went to talk to Grace for a bit.” Bruce looked curious. Then he asked, “What were you talking about?” “Well, nothing much. We were just talking about her and Darcy,” Joanna said perfunctorily.

“It's almost tto have dinner. The children are waiting anxiously.” “Alright. I'll be back after washing my hands,” Joanna said and went straight to the second floor to change her clothes.

When she was at home, it was more comfortable to wear pajamas. She had just gone to see Darcy, so she certainly could not wear pajamas.

Ten minutes passed.

Joanna changed into her pajamas and slowly walked to the dining room.

“Mommy, Christmas is just two days away.” Davian reminded Joanna excitedly.

Irvin chimed in, “That's right. We're going to be a year older again. You have to prepare big gifts for us this year.

“Mommy, can we decide on this year’s gifts ourselves?” Joanna sat down in her seat. Then she asked, “When did all of you becso obsessed with money? “Hurry up and eat. After dinner, you can practice the piano.” Irvin retorted playfully, “Mommy, it's finally vacation time. Can’t we just relax a bit?” “That's right. Don’t keep talking about homework and studying all the time. Aren’t you afraid we'll turn into bookworms?” “Well. With you all being so mischievous, it's hard for you to becbookworms,” Joanna replied.

After Joanna finished speaking, she shouted toward the small living room, “Lilia, stop practicing and cover to have dinner.” The small living room had been converted into a training room for Lilia to train every day.

“Got it, Mommy,” Lilia replied. Then she made her way slowly to the dining room while leaning on her cane.

Although she no longer needed the cane to walk, it provided her with more stability.

“Sweetie, are you tired?” Lilia sat down in her seat and said happily, “I'm not tired. Whenever | think about how soon I'll be able to learn ballet, | don’t feel tired at all.” “Ah, my sweetie,” Joanna sighed with both affection and concern.

Lilia was really putting in a lot of effort to stand up.

2/4 “Let's start eating.” Then they began their meal.

Lilia was the last to arrive and the first to finish eating.

“Daddy, Mommy, I'm full,” Lilia said. As she spoke, Lilia stood up and prepared to leave.

“I'm going to continue training. You guys take your teating.” Joanna looked surprised. “You're full from just that little bit of food?” “Yes. If | eat too much, I'll get sleepy easily,” Lilia said as she left the dining room with her cane.

Davian and Irvin also finished eating quickly. “Mommy, we're full too.” “Don't go into the room to play games. You have just eaten. You need to exercise.” “Got it,” Davian and Irvin replied. Then they got up and ran away.

It was the end of the year. They bought a lot of Christmas lights and candies. Every night, they had a lot of fun in the garden.

Only Bruce and Joanna remained in the dining room, along with Devin.

“Lilian, Devin has to eat more supplementary food in the future. He can't just drink milk,” Joanna said. After saying that, Joanna cut a little steak and placed it in Devin’s bowl.

“Got it, Mrs. Everett.” Devin was already more than a year old. He looked lively and adorable.

He could eat many things now.

Then, all of them finished dinner.

Soon, it was ten o'clock at night.

After Joanna washed up, she planned to sleep.

“Joann, haven't you recovered yet?” Bruce leaned over suggestively and reached out to hold her.

Joanna's heart skipped a beat. She subconsciously moved to the side of the bed. “I'm very tired today. Get srest early.” Bruce frowned when he heard that.

Joanna didn’t say anything else. She turned around and had her back facing him.

Bruce did not continue to force her.

Then Joanna fell asleep in a daze.

Joanna suddenly woke up from her nightmare. She subconsciously turned around.

When she opened her eyes in a daze, she saw Bruce looking at her with an indescribable emotion in his eyes.

Joanna was shocked and hurriedly sat up. “What's wrong? Why aren’t you asleep?” Bruce pondered for a few seconds and said in a low voice, “Honey, do you not loveanymore?” “Why would you ask that?” 8/4 “Ever since we met, you refused to lettouch you. If you still love me, why would you reject my kiss?” Bruce's voice was filled with sadness.

Joanna was stunned. She looked at Bruce with a mix of emotions in her Joanna thought inwardly, “If he is really Bruce, How can I not love him? “How can | resist his closeness? eyes.

“But now, he is just a substitute for Bruce. How can | love him? No matter how similar they look, he is not Bruce.” Then Joanna said, “Well, I've been too tired recently. The doctor also said that your body shouldn't be strained, so let's not push it.” Bruce's voice suddenly becexcited. “I've recovered. | don't think there’s anything wrong with me.” “Don't be like this!” Joanna felt a rush of panic. She pulled back the covers and wanted to get out of bed.

“What is the real reason then? Why are you so resistant to me?” Bruce firmly held onto her wrist.

Bruce's eyes darkened as he pulled her into his arms.

“Joanna, can you stop doing this? What have | done wrong? Just telldirectly instead of constantly ignoring me, okay?” “Ah! Don't be like this. If you continue like this, I'll get angry.” Joanna struggled in panic.

Joanna thought inwardly, “He is not Bruce at all.

“How can | let him touch me? Even if he is a genetically cloned version of Bruce, he is just a substitute. The substitute can’t replace the original.” Bruce took a deep breath. The restlessness in his genes drove him to forcefully press his lips against Joanna's.

“Don't be like this.” Joanna was terrified.
