Chapter 761 “Take care of yourself and the children when I'm not by your side.
“I will always be there to protect you and the children no matter when as long as I live.
“You can always come to me if you have been wronged or have difficulties.
“I can’t guarantee you that I'll protect you forever, but | can promise you | won't allow you and the children to suffer any grievances as long as I'm alive,” said Bruce, the tears streaming down his face.
His tears dripped onto the top of Joanna's head.
His voice trembled with sobs.
Bruce hoped badly he could live happily ever after with Joanna and their children.
“Say no more. It's meaningless for you to say these anymore” said Joanna. She struggled with all her might and held back her tears.
Bruce could even forget such an important thing as getting married for Aria’s sake.
It showed clearly how Aria mattered to him.
She would give him what he wanted. since he cared so much about another woman.
When Bruce was with Roxanne in the past, he was so inconstant that he asked her to be his lover. Some things never change.
He probably wanted Aria to be his lover now.
Bruce hugged her tighter and tighter, wishing he could rub her into his body.
“Joann, | love you. | will always love you. Whether you believe it or not, you're the only woman in my heart...” said Bruce.
Joanna could hardly breathe. She scolded him hatefully, “Bruce, stop saying these words hypocritically. Let go of me, let go of me.
Let wanit “You bastard. | won't believe another word you say. The person you love the most has always been you. | don’t want to see you again. Let go of me.” Joanna could not be soft-hearted.
She would never forgive him no matter what he said or did this time. She would break up with him totally if she wanted to do so.
She couldn't share a man with another woman.
“Joann... Joann... You still don’t believe me,” Bruce mumbled dreamily.
He suddenly lowered his head and kissed Joann’s lips without warning.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThen, there was a ferocious invasion...
Sometimes, he really went crazy. This little thing made him exhausted and miserable. He really wanted to kill her ruthlessly because she always broke his heart.
Joanna held her breath and pushed him even more fearfully.
“Let me go...
“Bruce Everett, you bastard...” His kiss was as aggressive as ever, blazing like fire.
Joanna was shocked and angry. She kept hitting Bruce's shoulders.
The vile bastard.
Bruce only cared about himself and never cared about the other party’s feelings.
Was Bruce going to force her before she recovered? Her body had yet to recover and could not withstand his strength.
How could Bruce do this to her? Bastard! Beast! Demon! “Bruce... Bastard...” Joanna punched Bruce weakly.
The terrifying demon.
Joanna was already in this state, yet he still wanted to bully her. He was really inhumane.
If he really forced her this time, she have to call the police. She would never be soft-hearted again.
Bruce kissed Joanna for five minutes.
Until Joanna stopped struggling and was powerless to resist.
Only then did he reluctantly let go of her.
Bruce pushed Joanna down and held her hand tightly. “Joann, Joann... Can you hug me?” He spoke with a hint of supplication in his tone.
As Bruce spoke, he lay in her arms in agony. He was like a helpless child, yearning for someone to love him.
Joanna's heart ached as she started to cry. Tears streamed down her face and wet the pillow.
“Bruce, why are you doing this? Why? “I hate you. | hate you so much!” said Joanna, also bursting into tears.
They had clearly come this far.
It was not easy for Joanna to believe Bruce again.
But why had he shattered her dream? “I'm sorry, I'm so sorry! There are some things that | don’t know how to explain to you. Time is the best proof,” said Bruce. He looked up at her with sparkling tears.
“Stop talking so much nonsense. Let go of me,” said Joanna. Her chest heaved violently, and her tears flowed even more fiercely.
Seeing her crying, Bruce’s heart ached even more, and he couldn’t breathe.
He couldn't stay any longer.
Bruce was afraid he would lose control again if he stayed here any longer.
“Joann, I'm leaving,” said Bruce. “Take care of yourself and the children.
“I will definitely come and look for you again when | have enough confidence to love you one day.” As Bruce spoke, he kissed Joanna deeply on her forehead. Then he quickly got up and left without looking back.
It was often said that a woman could not escape a man when he loved her very much.
He was 100 percent confident that he could get Joanna back.
Except...
The current situation did not allow Bruce to do so.
And he didn’t dare to do so.
Bruce had to wait until he was done with his troubles and quit the organization altogether before pursuing Joanna again.
Joanna could not help but cry bitterly after Bruce left.
Women were like this. There was more love, and there was more hate.
The more a woman hated, the more she loved.
How could Joanna not love Bruce? However, when Joanna thought of Bruce and Aria, all her love turned into hatred. If it was in the past, he would definitely pester her desperately and never agree to break up with her.
Now, he had agreed to break up with her easily because he wanted to continue his relationship with Aria! Then she took the initiative to give up the position of Mrs. Everett as he wished.
In the parking lot downstairs.
Bruce got into the car and leaned on the steering wheel, crying uncontrollably.
Joanna had never trusted him, which hurt him badly.
“Joann, have | always been a jerk in your heart? | thought you would trust me after everything we've been through.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmUnfortunately...” Indeed, once a bridge of trust collapsed, it would be hard to rebuild it.
Ten minutes later.
Bruce calmed down and prepared to return to the company. Just as he was about to start the car, his phone rang.
Beep, beep! He picked up his phone and saw it was a number from Antlen.
Bruce frowned but still answered the call. “Hello...” Aria’s gentle voice came from the other end of the phone. “Bruce, it's me, Aria.” “I know,” Bruce replied coldly.
“It's been so long now. The organization has urged us three times. We really can’t delay any longer,” Aria said awkwardly.
Bruce replied in a deep voice, “I know. I've booked a flight for tomorrow.
“I'll leave tomorrow afternoon and be there by noon the day after tomorrow.” Aria heaved a sigh of relief when she heard Bruce's words. She said, “Okay, I'll pick you up at the airport then.” “No, thanks!” said Bruce.
Aria was stunned and subconsciously fell silent.
Bruce pondered for a few seconds, then asked, “Have you gone to see a doctor? “Your illness can’t be put off any longer. You'd better go to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible! The longer you delay, the more serious it will be, and the less hope there is for treatment.” Regardless of whether it was for public or private reasons, Bruce hoped that Aria could live well.
It had nothing to do with love. It was just out of concern and sympathy between friends and colleagues. Not to mention that they had once been in a relationship, even if he had never loved her.
Bruce did not want such an outstanding young biologist to die too early.
Aria sighed and said solemnly, “I've said it before. | can only relax and undergo treatment after the mission is completed.
“I just can’t calm down right now.” Bruce did not say anything more when he heard her words. “Alright, that’s all for now.” Just as Bruce was about to hang up...
Aria hurriedly added, “By the way... there’s something else | want to tell you.” “Tell me,” said Bruce.
“The organization wants us to form...” Aria could not help but want to stop saying something as she spoke.
The organization expected Bruce and Aria to work together as husband and wife.
In this way, it would not arouse the suspicion of the outside world when the two interacted. It also added another protective barrier to Bruce's identity.
Aria was naturally happy to accept such an arrangement. However, she had witnessed Bruce’s dedication to Joanna. She was not sure whether he would.
Therefore, she did not dare to say it out loud.
“What does the organization want?” Bruce asked in confusion.
“Forget it. | won't talk to you for now. I'll tell you when you reach Antlen!” said Aria.
“Alright then! Let's do this for now!” Bruce said and hung up the phone.
Aria also hung up weakly.
