Chapter 709
Bruce was so engrossed in his thoughts that Bruce did not notice Joanna walking toward him.
Joanna stopped when she was about to reach Bruce.
“Is he sleepwalking?” Joanna wondered.
Joanna noticed that Bruce was motionless.
Joanna’s heart tightened. Joanna thought that Bruce was sleepwalking and did not dare to alarm him rashly.
If Bruce was really sleepwalking, Joanna had to watch him carefully. Joanna couldn’t wake Bruce up lightly and had
to wait till Bruce went back to bed by himself.
“He didn’t have any symptoms of sleepwalking in the past! What is he doing?” Joanna pondered.
Curious, Joanna took two steps closer to see if Bruce was sleepwalking.
Bruce was lost in his thoughts when his ears pricked up as Bruce heard someone approaching from behind.
Bruce turned around in an instant. His right hand reflexively formed an eagle hook, and his left elbow lashed out.
Joanna let out a scream. Taken by surprise, Joanna was almost tackled by him.
Joanna staggered a few steps backward and began to fall.
Bruce came back to his senses and hurriedly lunged towards Joanna, reaching out to grab Joanna’s waist.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWith a strong tug, Bruce pulled Joanna into his arms.
Joanna was still in shock. Her heart was pounding in fear..
Fortunately, Joanna did not fall to the ground. Otherwise, Joanna would have suffered a miscarriage.
When Joanna had been pregnant with the triplets, Joanna had fallen in the washroom and nearly had a miscarriage.
It had caused Joanna to hemorrhage.
Joanna had never known Bruce’s reflexes to be so lethal.
Bruce was also terrified. “Honey, are you alright?”
The phone fell to the ground with a crash.
However, Bruce couldn’t care less about his phone. Bruce comforted Joanna frightfully.
Joanna calmed herself down and asked unhurriedly, “What are you doing?”
There was a flash in Bruce’s eyes, and Bruce instantly regained his mask of a fool. “I didn’t do anything. I couldn’t
sleep, so I stayed here to look at the stars.”
“Stargazing?” Joanna was clearly in disbelief!
“That’s right! Looking at the stars, they twinkle…”
Joanna subconsciously looked at the sky.
It was a cloudy day. Dark clouds covered the sky, and there were no stars at all.
At the same time, Joanna realized that something had fallen to the ground!
“What dropped?”
“Oh, it’s nothing!” Bruce quickly picked up the phone and held it tightly in his hand.
Joanna’s face darkened. “What are you holding? Let me take a look.”
“No, nothing…” Bruce looked a little flustered..
There was only one person’s phone number saved in the phone.
If Joanna saw it, it would be disastrous.
When Joanna was angry, she could not easily be appeased with just a few words.
Seeing Bruce’s nervous expression, Joanna was even more curious about the object in Bruce’s hand. “What is it?
Hurry up and show it to me.”
Bruce took a step back. “It’s really nothing!”
Joanna frowned and became a little angry. “Hurry up and bring it over for me to see!”
Joanna hated it the most when Bruce Everett hid and lied to her.
The more Bruce refused to let her see, the more Joanna wanted to know what it was.
“It’s really nothing. Honey, hurry up and go back to your room to sleep. I’m so sleepy!” Bruce said and pretended to
yawn.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThen, Bruce put his arm around Joanna’s shoulders and tried to coax Joanna into the bedroom.
Joanna looked unhappy and stared at Bruce with a hint of anger in her eyes.
If Bruce didn’t show her what it was today, no one would be able to sleep today.
“It’s really nothing…”
“Bring it here. I’ll say it one last time.”
Seeing that Joanna was furious, Bruce couldn’t fool her anymore: Bruce could only hand the phone over guiltily.
“Alright, alright, here you go. You can a look!”
Joanna took the phone and looked at it. It was an ancient phone that would only be used in the last century.
Joanna tried to turn on the phone, but it was no longer functioning.
Seeing this, Bruce inwardly heaved a sigh of relief.
The phone had fallen to the ground just now, and now it was broken.
“What are you doing with such an old phone? Why didn’t you sleep in the middle of the night? Why did you come to
the balcony!”
“No, nothing! I just had a dream about my mother. I wanted to call my mommy.”
Joanna’s eyes sparkled!
“Is this your mother’s phone?”
In the meantime, Bruce was searching for a reasonable explanation. When Bruce heard Joanna, he immediately
went with the flow. “Yes, that’s right! My mother left this for me. She said that if I miss her, I can call her.”
