Chapter 829 Even if Jaydon did not have the money to repay her, she would not have minded.
However, she still needed to explain it clearly to Bruce.
Bruce was utterly stumped. He had a somber expression on his handsome face.
He was furious with Joanna's actions.
He had worked hard to accumulate his wealth. If Jaydon had evil intentions, the consequences would be unimaginable.
However, now that things had come to this, what was done was done.
If he argued with Joanna again, it would only hurt their relationship even more.
“Don't be angry, okay?” Joanna looked at his face and whispered.
“I'm not angry!” Bruce replied resentfully.
It would be strange if he were not furious.
He was about to die of anger.

Bruce pursed his lips slightly and suppressed his dissatisfaction. He retorted, “Forget it. This is the only time I'll allow it to happen. There won't be a next time. Before you make any decisions in the future, please discuss them with me first.” Joanna quickly nodded and exclaimed, “Yes, yes, | promise.” Bruce paused for two seconds before saying, “I'll call the bank governor tomorrow and have him cancel that card.” Joanna's eyes widened and she was speechless.
Bruce added, “You can lend him money. You can transfer as much as he needs. However, you can't just pass him the black diamond credit card. Do you know what that card could cause?” Bruce paused and said earnestly, “If Jay has ill intentions, cashes out several billion dollars, and flees abroad, we can’t do anything about it!” Joanna immediately retorted, “No, Jay is not that kind of person. | can guarantee it!" “Hmph, you're just too naive. You trust others too easily.” Bruce sneered unhappily. Sometimes, Joanna was too soft-hearted and too naive to guard against people.
With such a personality, it was very easy to be taken advantage of However, Bruce was conflicted deep down. He liked her soft-heartedness and kindness. He was also fond of her tolerance and restraint.
Aman like him had seen all kinds of beautiful women. Although Joanna was dazzling, others were even more attractive. There were countless beauties in the world. No matter how beautiful Joanna was, there would come a day when he would get tired of looking at her.
The only thing that could fascinate him forever was her unmatched charisma.
“I can assure you that Jay will never do that,” insisted Joanna.
“What if he does?” asked Bruce.
“He won't!” Joanna assured Bruce.
Joanna trusted Jaydon’s character. Jaydon would never do that. They had known each other for a long time. Joanna knew very well the type of person he was.
“Hmph!” Bruce snorted coldly and was even more disdainful.
The more Joanna thought highly of Jaydon, the more disdainful Bruce became.
“Bruce, I've already given him the card..Can you stop asking?” Joanna retorted.
Bruce refused decisively. “No.” “Since you gave me the money, | have the right to use it!” Joanna exclaimed.
“You have the right to use it, but that doesn’t mean you can pass it to another man,” Bruce snapped.
When Joanna heard this, she paused momentarily before saying gloomily, “If you do this, then you might as well take back all the money you gave me. | don't have the right to use it as | desire. Why are you giving it to me then?” When Bruce heard this, he looked at Joanna in surprise. He was speechless.
Joanna turned her head to the side. Her eyes were so swollen that she could not open them. She was even more unwilling to look at Bruce.
Bruce was so furious that he took several deep breaths and barked, “Are you ignoring my feelings for Jaydon? You'd rather make me angry and think of ways to help him?” ...Bruce, it's not that | don’t care about your feelings,” Joanna tried to explain. “It's because Jay needs help now. | can’t help him much. The only thing | can do is lend him some money. I've told you many times that Jay saved my life and the children’s.
Without him, we wouldn't be where we are today. Now that he’s in trouble. | have to help him.” When Bruce heard this, he gritted his teeth in anger and screamed, “Joanna, I'll ask you again. Do you care more about me or him?” When Joanna heard this, she felt even more troubled. “You're doing it again. How can you make such a comparison? He's just a friend. And you're... the father of our children. There’s no way | can compare the both of you. Don't ask these ridiculous questions.” “Alright, I'll ask you one last time,” Bruce questioned as he looked at Joanna with complex emotions. “If Jaydon and | fell into the water all at once, who would you save first?” Bruce was utterly jealous of Jaydon. How could Joanna care so much about him? Joanna looked at him speechlessly.
He had asked her this question before.
“Answer me now!” Bruce insisted.
“I just told you that Jay is just a friend of mine. And you are the father of our children. You are also... the most important man of my life,” Joanna said. Her eyes subconsciously flickered, and there was a hint of embarrassment in his tone “How important?” Bruce asked.
“...Very important,” Joanna muttered.
“How important is it?” Bruce questioned. He liked to see her embarrassed and shy look.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmJoanna took another deep breath, not wanting to answer his absurd questions.
She was not a woman who liked to express her emotions.
She didn’t like being flirtatious or acting cute.
Bruce leaned in and continued interrogating her shamelessly, “Tell me quickly. | want to hear it.” “I'm very tired now. Ahem, | don’t want to talk too much,” said Joanna.
“Hmph, you're not even willing to say a few words to humor me. And yet you insist that I'm the most important man in your life,” Bruce concluded. “The most important man doesn’t mean the man you love the most, right?” “Bruce, can you stop asking these tricky questions? | don’t even know how to answer your questions anymore,” Joanna exclaimed.
Bruce raised his eyebrows and said, “Just follow your inner thoughts and answer truthfully. You've never really said ‘I love you’ to me before.” “I did say that!” Joanna insisted.
Bruce snorted and said in dissatisfaction, “You said it patronizingly. You've never been solemn when you professed your love for me.” Joanna choked, “Sigh. If | didn’t love you, | wouldn't have compromised again and again. | wouldn't have forgiven you again and again and risked my life to save you.” “Don’t change the subject. | want to hear your serious answer.” Bruce commanded.
Joanna blinked her heavy eyelids and stammered, “....I...love you..” “I can’t hear you,” Bruce said.
“I love you, okay?” Joanna exclaimed.
“How patronizing!” Bruce chided.
Joanna rolled her eyes and did not say anything else.
She was a very restrained and reserved woman.
She would not say sweet nothings.
But she would use her actions to prove that she loved him.
“Okay, don't be angry anymore.”
