The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife (Joanna)

Chapter 719 “How are your wounds? Come over, let me have a look.” Alright...” Bruce tenderly reclined in Joanna's embrace.

His hair had grown longer. Joanna tenderly brushed his hair aside to look at his wounds.

He had four scars in total on his head! The wound on the back of his head looked like a ferocious centipede tattoo. It was bald there.

The good thing was, that the wound was on the back of his head and wouldn't affect his overall appearance. If the scar was on the top of his head, he would definitely be bald. But then, he would become ugly.

Now he was not affected at all.

Nonetheless, he had forever trimmed the hair on the back of his head shorter than the front. Thus, with a dab of hair gel, he resembled a model.

“Is the injury still painful?” Joanna inquired with a heavy heart as she touched his scar.

“It hurts. How can it not hurt? It hurts a lot.” Bruce said aggrievedly and snuggled into her arms like a spoiled child.

His grasp on her waist was firm, comparable to an overly clingy canine.

Joanna delicately massaged his head and blew on it soothingly.

Bruce couldn't hold back his laughter He adored her gentle appearance and relished the comfort of resting in her embrace, savoring the faint fragrance that surrounded her.

“You should be fine after a week or two. Don” as you do now?” “Darling, | mean, by the time my wounds are healed, would you treat me as kind as you do now?” Joanna laughed, feeling a little bit of annoyance.

“Am | a gentle person?” She would never use the word gentle to describe herself.

She was a quiet person. She didn't like talking too much.

“Of course. | love it when you are so gentle.” She laughed upon hearing this.

Bruce raised his head, looking at Joanna, his eyes full of emotion. “Darling, | love you so much!” Joanna put on a faint smile. “Me too! | love you very much.” “My love, will you adore me as much as you do now for eternity? Will you perpetually be benevolent towards me?” “Yes, of course!” Bruce's eyes flickered as he apprehensively asked, “If the day arrives when | fully recuperate, will you still be as affectionate and solicitous as you are present? Will you bestow upon me the same love and kindness?” “Oh yes!” Joanna answered without hesitation.

“What happened? You have been weird recently. Why do you keep asking such boring questions?” “Are these boring questions? But | really wanted to know the answer!” “If one day you discover that | lied to you, will you be upset?” Bruce was genuinely puzzled by Joanna's thoughts.

He was probing her reaction with careful questions, trying to understand her feelings.

Joanna was astounded and cast her gaze downward toward him.

His brain was now damaged. How was he going to lie to her even if he wanted to? Bruce glanced at her seriously as well.

He no longer wished to conceal the truth from her.

He was about to tell her that he had recovered and retrieved his memory.

“Darling, | didn’t want to lie to you. I...” Bruce said, then suddenly paused.

He didn’t know how to say it..

He was afraid that if he really said it, Joanna would be pissed off.

Joanna pondered for a few seconds, touched his cheek, and said seriously, “Well, why did “You know, | always hate liars.

“Are you lying to me? If you are, you'd better tell me the truth now.” Bruce was stunned.

“What would you do if you found that | lied?” Joanna pondered seriously for a few seconds after hearing it.

What would she do if she found him lying to her? you lie? She shouldn't forgive him. He lied to her many times in the past. He shouldn't lie to her, even if it was out of goodwill. Irrespective of the justifications, deceit was still deceit.

Joanna's expression changed. “You know, | hate men who lie.

“Just picture the person you love the most who has been lying to you all this time. It's: s scary, right? “Lying to someone who is dear to you is inexcusable! Ponder over it, if the individual can deceive those in his surroundings. He is atrocious.

“Hence, | have instilled in the children the value of truthfulness and honesty. You too must be an upright individual. Please refrain from lying to me, even if it stems from benevolence.” Joanna looked at Bruce seriously.

When Bruce heard this, his eyes instinctively shifted.

He took a deep breath of cold air.

Holy shit! Fortunately, he was unable to divulge the truth at that very moment. If she were to discover that he had concealed the truth from her for a prolonged duration, she would be undoubtedly infuriated.

He knew her too well.

She might have an abortion after knowing that he lied again! “Forget it, forget it. I'll tell her later.

“Joanna is on the brink of giving birth. If she uncovers my deceit, it could initiate premature labor.

“Until after she gives birth, | won't reveal the truth,” Bruce whispered to himself, firmly deciding to keep it from Joanna to avoid any complications during this critical time.

Bruce didn’t want Joanna to be too upset or stressed, especially during her pregnancy.

“By the way, what was it that you intended to tell me just a moment ago?” Bruce's eyes rolled, his guilt evident on his face.

As Joanna discerned Bruce's evasion, her countenance turned somber. “Bruce, did you deceive me once again? “Tell me, did you commit misconduct again?” “Well... Acturally, I...” “What have you done this time? Tell me honestly.

“Come clean now, and | might consider forgiving you. But if | have to discover it myself, be prepared for serious consequences,” Joanna said firmly, her expression stern and resolute.

Joanna was determined to break Bruce’s habit of lying and ensure he understood the importance of honesty.

This guy used to be quite skilled at lying.

He wouldn’t change so easily.

Even if his brain was damaged, she had to reminded him that lying was wrong.

Bruce rolled his eyes and said sheepishly, “Darling, | accidentally peed on my shoes just now!” After saying that, he deliberately pinched his ears, pretending to feel guilty for the mishap.

Puffl As Joanna heard this, she was rendered speechless. She glanced at him in astonishment.

“I didn’t have the courage to tell you. | dread your anger.” Joanna didn’t expect this answer. For a moment, she didn’t know what to say. But in fact, she had to admit that it was funny and she was amused.

“Why would you be scared?” “I was afraid that you would mock mel “After all, only people with short penis pee on their shoes.

“I was apprehensive that you would detest me!” Bruce intentionally diverted the discussion.

Of course, he wouldn't pee on his shoes.

He was just joking.

He was just trying to make Joanna laugh.

Puff Upon hearing this, Joanna couldn't help but burst into laughter. “Hehe, what a little idiot.” At the same time, she affectionately hugged his head.

She found him utterly adorable.

“Darling, will you look down on me because of that?” “Come on, why would | do that? “This happens to every o one of us.

Joanna didn’t want to laugh, but she couldn't help but burst into laughter as she imagined the scene.

He had always appeared to be an ... ‘intimidating’ person. Peeing on his shoes just didn’t sound like something he would do.

It was humorous to merely contemplate it.

Observing Joanna's uncontrollable laughter, Bruce felt even more indignant. “Look at you. You promised you wouldn't laugh at me. Hmph, | don’t want to talk to you anymore.” As he spoke, Bruce pretended to be angry.

She actually believed him so easily.

He couldn't help but complain in his heart, “This silly woman is so gullible. She actually believed those words. She’s too innocent.

She's the real little fool. And yet, she calls me a little fool.” Joanna thought he was genuinely upset and quickly reassured him, “I'm not laughing at you, | promise.” “Look at you. You're clearly still laughing! Hmph, you're mocking me for urinating on my shoes. If | had foreseen this, | wouldn't have confided in you.

“I genuinely am not mocking you. Please don’t be upset, alright?” Joanna couldn't suppress her amusement.

However, it was so hilarious to imagine that he had peed on his own shoes. She just couldn't stop laughing. She couldn't believe that Bruce would actually pull off such an embarrassing stunt.

“Quit laughing! If you keep it up, | won't talk to you anymore.” “Okay, okay, okay. I'll stop, | promise?” Joanna bit her lip and tried her best to hold back her laughter.

In the past, whenever she was with Bruce, she had always been extremely nervous.

She barely smiled, not to mention laughing out loud.

And now, with his brain damaged, she found immense joy in every day she spent with him.

“Hmph, you have to make up for laughing at me.” “Well, alright. What do you want?” “I need some kisses.” Bruce pointed to his lips, forehead, and cheeks.

“Alright!” Joanna agreed without hesitation and kissed him.

After that, she even showered him with a few more kisses on the forehead.

“That should suffice, shouldn't it? Don’t be angry any longer!” Joanna stated, endeavoring to pacify him.

“Hmph, that's better,” Bruce replied, feeling more content “Sigh, | really don’t know what to do with you. How did you turn into such a little goofball?” Joanna said, teasing him affectionately.

When Bruce heard this, he couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Bruce sighed.

What a foolish woman! Fortunately, he was her husband. If she had married a bad man, she would have been miserably deceived.

He lied just to win her love.

Other men might lie to exploit her for her wealth and beauty.

Beep.

The phone rang once more.

“The phone is ringing. See who's calling.” “Oh, oh...” Bruce replied and quickly picked up the phone.

“It's the kids.” “Answer the call. The children are probably worried.” “Alright!” Bruce immediately answered the call.

“Hey, Daddy, Mommy, where did you go?” “Mommy is at the hospital right now. Are you guys finished with school?” “Yeah, we're already done with school,” the kids replied.

“What happened to Mommy this time? Why did she have to go to the hospital?” the kids asked, concerned.

“I'm not feeling well. 'm going to stay in the hospital for a few days. Behave well at home!” Joanna said and quickly picked up the phone.

Lilia asked curiously and with concern, “Mommy, where are you feeling unwell? Are you going to have a baby?” “Not so fast. I'm just a little bit sick,” Joanna replied, trying to reassure her daughter.
