The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife (Joanna)

Chapter 698 Liam and Lola were even more excited when they heard this.

Now that Bruce was willing to get close to them, the judge was more likely to award them custody of him.

As long as they got his legal custody, they could make all the decisions on his behalf. At that time, Everett Group and Bruce's personal assets would be at their disposal.

“Bruce, are you willing to live with me in the future?” Liam took Bruce's hand with an amiable smile on his face as if he cared about his nephew very much.

Bruce gave a silly smile. “Yes, I'm willing to.” “That's great! Will you go home with me today?” Bruce chuckled. “Sure, sure!” Joanna's face darkened. She said coldly, “You're not allowed to go anywhere.” When Lola heard this, she became even more aggressive. “Joanna, you have gone too far. Since Mr. Everett is willing to go with us, why don’t you just let him stay with us for a couple of days? “Who do you think you are? You don’t have the right to restrict Mr. Everett's freedom!” “I'm not trying to control him, and he doesn’t need a guardian. He hasn't fully recovered from his injuries yet, so he still needs someone to take good care of him.” “Hmph! I'm his biological uncle. I'm closer to him than an outsider like you no matter what. Are you afraid that | can’t take good care of him?” Liam turned to Bruce and said, “Bruce, let's go. | don’t believe anyone dares to stop you!” Liam pulled Bruce out as he spoke.

Seeing this, Joanna was so angry that her chest tightened. She immediately went forward to stop Liam. “He’s not wide awake now. He can’t go anywhere.

“You can't afford the consequences if something happens to him.” “Hmph! What can happen to him? I'm his uncle. Do you still suspect that | will hurt him?” Joanna rolled her eyes, not wanting to waste her time arguing with Liam.

She held Bruce's arm and coaxed him gently, “Bruce, be good. Go back to your room first. Don’t go anywhere, okay?” Bruce shook his head. “No. Honey, | want to go to my uncle's house to have some fun!” “Be good. Your physical condition is still poor and you can’t go anywhere. Stay at home before you completely recover.” “No, no! | want to go now.” Bruce shook Joanna's arm like a child.

He could not wait to go home with Liam.

Only by staying by Liam’s side could he know what he was going to do next.

But he could not tell Joanna about it openly.

“Joanna, stop bossing Mr. Everett around like this. You should know who you are.

“Mr. Everett, come with us. | prepared a lot of delicious food and lovely toys for you,” Lola said.

“Wow! That's great!” Joanna was pissed off. “The court hast decided yet. He won't leave here and go with any of you.” Liam sneered. “What if we insist on taking Bruce away?” “Then even you two can not leave.

“Darcy! Carson!” When Darcy and Carson heard Joanna call out to them, they immediately took a few steps forward, looking like they were ready to pick a fight at any time.

Secing this, Liam took a deep breath.

“Joanna, you're really something!” “Gael, see our guests off.” Gael immediately walked over. “Mr. and Mrs. Miller, please leave.” Seeing how angry Joanna was, Bruce felt a twinge in his heart and dropped the idea to go with Liam.

“Liam, why don’t you go back first? I'll go to your house after | recover.” “Well, alright then. | will come to see you another day.

“Joanna, you'll regret it. Let's go.” Liam shot Joanna a fierce glare before he left.

Lola stood up and sneered at Gael and Darcy. “You guys will regret helping Joanna one day. Hmph!” The two of them walked out angrily.

The lawyers quickly caught up with them.

“Liam, Lola, bye.” When Liam heard this, he stopped in his tracks again. “Bruce, we will leave first. Don’t worry, | promise | will take good care of you after | get custody of you.” “Lola, let's go!” “Joanna, just wait and see. I'll definitely teach you a good lesson.” Joanna shot back with a sneer, “I'm waiting.” She was ready for a long lawsuit.

Everything was well-prepared, so she might not lose this lawsuit.

However, something happened to Bruce one after another. She was scared and wanted to take him and the children away from this dangerous place.

On their way That's Great! back home in the car, Lola said excitedly, “We didn’t come for nothing today. I finally have some confidence.

“Bruce was so friendly to us just now. Looks like he has really become an idiot. | hope we can win this lawsuit.” Liam let out a sigh. “I hope so!” He then said to the lawyers, “You guys must follow up on this as soon as possible and do everything you can to win this lawsuit.” “Don’t worry, Mr. Miller. We'll do our best.” After kicking out Liam and Lola, Joanna looked at Bruce worriedly.

The case would go to trial on the second of next month.

Now that Bruce's attitude towards the couple had changed so much, it was very likely that she would lose the lawsuit.

It was like fighting for custody of a child, the judge would take the child's will into consideration before he decided who should be the guardian.

Thinking of this, Joanna could not help but let out a long sigh, her face full of worries.

Bruce knew what she was worried about.

However, he could not tell her the truth yet.

He wanted everyone to think that he was retarded.

“Honey, are you angry?” Bruce chuckled and hugged Joanna's shoulders intimately.

Then, his hands ran down all the way to her lower back.

Joanna sighed again and looked gloomily at his face.

“Did | do something wrong to make you angry again?” H Joanna pondered for a few seconds and then leaned against his shoulder listlessly. “No, you didn’t make me angry.” Bruce was wearing white silk pajamas, and Joanna could smell a light, pleasant sea-scented cologne on him. She pressed her head against his chest and heard his heart beating vigorously.

Joanna closed her eyes weakly, feeling so tired. Right now, she just wanted to snuggle in Bruce's arms like this.

If she really lost this lawsuit, she might not be able to stay by his side anymore.

The thought of this made her upset again. Warm tears streamed down her face and seeped through Bruce's silk pajamas.

Bruce noticed that she was crying, and his heart ached even more. “Honey, | said | was going to his house to play. | will be back after having some fun.

“I'm not really living with him. Don’t worry, I'll be by your side to protect you for the rest of my life. | won't let anyone hurt and no one can separate us.” you, Bruce voiced his thoughts in a silly tone.

Joanna laughed bitterly when she heard that.

She didn’t know that Bruce meant every word he said.

She said with a sigh, “I can only play it by ear.”
