Chapter 739 Bruce's eyes widened, and he forced a smile.
Looking at Bruce's uncomfortable expression, Joanna's heart ached even more.
From his reaction, she could tell that he had a close relationship with his first love.
She wanted to see who Aria was.
After a while.
Miranda brought Aria into the ward.
“Miss Bridges, please come in.” Miranda respectfully gestured for her to come in.
Aria nodded slightly and smiled politely and elegantly as she walked in with a bouquet of flowers.
This was a top-notch VIP ward. The decoration inside did not look like a hospital at all. Instead, it looked like a six-star hotel.
There were more than ten servants guarding the living room outside the room, and there were even bodyguards guarding the door.
The servants greeted Aria politely after she walked in.
Miranda brought her to the suite inside and opened the door. “Miss Bridges, please come in!” Aria walked into the ward.
Joanna kept staring at the room door.
The door opened, and an elegant and well-mannered beauty walked in.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe two of them looked at each other and were stunned.
It was as if they had seen another version of themselves.
The two of them did not look very similar, but their temperaments and appearance types were very similar.
After being stunned for a few seconds, Aria smiled and greeted Joanna first. “Hello, my name is Aria. I'm Bruce's classmate.” Joanna Haynes hesitated for two seconds and replied subconsciously, “...Oh, hello!” With just a glance at Aria, an inexplicable uneasiness had already arisen in Joanna's heart.
The feeling of uneasiness was very strong, and a strong sense of danger accompanied it.
In the past, even when she faced strong love rivals like Roxanne, Jennie, and Princess Martha, she had never felt such a sense of crisis.
And now, she had an awful premonition, and a layer of cold sweat inexplicably rose all over her body.
Aria elegantly walked to the bed and said confidently, “I heard from Bruce that you had a second child, so | specially came over to visit.” “Thank you!” Joanna subconsciously sized Aria up again.
Aria’s appearance was the same as hers. She had the same small frame, fair skin, and exquisite facial features. She wore glasses and exuded a strong intellectual, scholarly aura.
In terms of demeanor, Aria was even more outstanding than her. She blended Eastern gentleness with Western women’s calmness and kindness.
No wonder Bruce couldn't forget her. It had been more than ten years since he graduated. When he heard that his first love had returned to the country, he immediately went to pick her up personally.
It turned out that Aria was more outstanding and beautiful than she had imagined.
Bruce was clearly feeling a little uneasy. He remained silent and did not say a word or even say hello.
“Where are the children?” “Oh, the child is still young. It's not convenient to bring him out for the time being.” Aria also stared at Joanna intently.
She just wanted to see what the woman who could change Bruce's heart looked like.
The moment she saw Joanna, a strange feeling arose in her heart. Her emotions, which were feeling low, immediately rose.
Joanna had the same type of appearance as her.
In that case, it meant that Bruce had never forgotten about her. Even the wife he found was based on her appearance.
Aria suddenly felt relieved! She thought that Bruce was still in love with her. He only found a substitute that looked like her as they had been apart for too long.
The love between them had never disappeared.
“Take a seat! Miranda, pour coffee!” Aria smiled. “Oh, there’s no need to go through so much trouble! I'll leave after a while.” “I heard from Bruce that you're very interesting and that he loves you very much. | especially wanted to come and see you. Sure enough, it’s just as Bruce said.” When Joanna heard this, her expression instantly turned ugly.
She thought, “Why did Bruce tell Aria about this? “And what was the point of telling me? “She was clearly the guest, but her words made her sound like she was the mistress of the house. Or is it right to say that she came here to show off?” “Oh, don’t misunderstand. Bruce and | are just ordinary classmates. | came to Greyport this time because | haven't seen him for along time. I'm just catching up with Bruce. Don’t mind me When Joanna heard this, she was even more furious.
Wasn't she being so insincere? “My husband told me about you. He said that you came to Greyport to do academic research, and | specially asked him to pick you up! “Where are you staying now? I'll invite you to our house another day!” “Thank you. For now, Bruce is the one arranging has a place for me to stay at, I'll be staying at Riverview Villa.” Aria looked at Joanna Haynes with a smile.
Although her expression was kind and gentle, Joanna felt provocated.
“You're living in Riverview Villa now?” Joanna asked in surprise.
She thought that Bruce would arrange for Aria to stay in a hotel.
However, she never expected that he would arrange for her to stay at Riverview Villa! Although Riverview Villa was not as luxurious as Sherane Bay Villa, it was Bruce Everett's dream house. In fact, he personally made all the decorations and designs inside.
There were only his personal items inside. Even she had never entered before. But now, he arranged for Aria to stay inside.
Was he trying to hide his mistress under her nose? Although Joanna felt aggrieved, she still forced a smile on her face. “Oh, then I'll treat you to coffee another day! “When the child’s one-month-old celebration is held, you can join our celebration.” When Aria heard this, she glanced at Bruce with an ambiguous gaze. “I'm really sorry. | might not be able to make it!” “Why?” “I'm going back to Antlen next week. | don’t think I'll make it in time for the baby’s one-month-old.” HD When Joanna Haynes heard this, her heart skipped a beat. She subconsciously looked at Bruce Everett.
He had just told her that he was going on a business trip to Antlen! Now, Aria was also going back to Antlen.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIt was hard not to overthink.
“Are you going back to the country next week? Why not stay for a few more days?” “No, there’s something that's very important to do in Antlen. However, I'll come back to Greyport again next year. We can have a good gathering then.” "H ..” Joanna Haynes blinked twice and looked at Bruce Everett even more bitterly.
When this bastard said he was going on a business trip to Antlen, he was probably lying. Instead, he planned to go there to continue his relationship with Aria and cheat! “That's such a coincidence. My husband is also going to Antlen for a business trip next week. The two of you happen to be going at the same time, so you can take care of each other,” Joanna said sourly.
Hearing this, Bruce felt goosebumps on his back.
Oh no, oh no...
This time, Joanna would not believe his explanation no matter what. Joanna Haynes definitely thought that he was going overseas to do something bad? “Honey, I'm going on a business trip to Lundi!” “Aria is flying to Eighcaster. Our destinations are different! How can we look out for each other!” Bruce quickly explained, afraid that Joanna would overthink.
Hearing his explanation, Joanna felt even angrier. “Lundi is only 400 to 500 kilometers away from Eighcaster. It's only a few hours by car. You can definitely take care of each other.” “It's rare for Miss Bridges to contact you. You have to treat her well!” Joanna said, the smile on her face completely gone.
To think that she was worried that he would be tired from his business trip.
From the looks of it, not only would he not be tired, but he would also die from happiness.
Right! Die of Happiness! She was still in postpartum recovery. It had been a long time since they had touched each other. How could a man like him take it when he hadn't touched a woman for so long? Now, it was all good. Wouldn't he die of happiness after touching a beautiful girl like Aria? Joanna's face darkened as she imagined the scenario. She didn't want to leave any face for Bruce and Aria.
If they wanted to be together, he would fulfill their wish and completely withdraw from his world.
Aria could also tell that Joanna was angry, and an awkward smile appeared on her face.
“I won't disturb you anymore. I'll visit you another day when I'm free!” Joanna sneered secretly and did not ask her to stay. “Hubby, hurry up and send Miss Bridges off.” Bruce forced a smile. “...Mm, okay!” “Aria, she’s acting like this due to postpartum syndrome. It's inevitable that she’s a little agitated. She's not usually like this...” “Bruce, what do you mean by that?” “No, | didn’t mean anything? Well, I'll send Aria out first!” As he spoke, Bruce hurriedly called Aria to leave.
“Farewell.” Aria maintained her self-restraint and bowed slightly to bid farewell.
Joanna's anger was ignited entirely.
It seemed that they really had something going on! She knew it. How could a repeat offender like Bruce be devoted to her? Bruce sent Aria to the entrance of the hospital. His expression darkened. “...Why are you here? Why didn’t you call me before you arrived?”
