Chapter 733
Bruce frowned. “Aria, what are you trying to say?”
Aria looked at him bitterly, and her heart ached even more. “Bruce, I want to say that I’ve never forgotten you.”
“Whether it’s personal or business, your place in my heart has never changed.”
“I thought you’d stay where you were and wait for me. I thought, when I finished my studies, we could-”
“Aria, thank you for telling me this. I’m sorry, but we’ll never be with each other again in this lifetime,” Bruce
interrupted her stiftly.
He didn’t want to give her any hope.
Back then, when he was forced to return to the country, he begged her to return to the country with him to start a
business, but she refused without hesitation.
Moreover, she insisted on breaking up with him.
After Bruce returned to the country, he was depressed. Coupled with the fact that his parents were in trouble, his
heart felt like it was being stabbed by a knife. He was about to break down.
Another time, he and his grandmother went to the Haynes family.
During his lunch break, he was swimming in the backyard pool when he drowned.
At that time, he was inches from death for a few minutes in the water. At that moment, he suddenly felt that life
was the most precious thing on Earth.
Just when he thought he was going to die, a girl jumped into the water and fished him out of the pool.
From that moment on, he had given up on his love for Aria.
He wanted to repay the girl who had saved his life.
Other than devoting his life to her, he couldn’t think of any other repayment that was more sincere than this.
Unbeknownst to her, she didn’t just save him, but she also saved his grandmother and Everett Group.
If he died, his grandmother would definitely be heartbroken and would have no hope of living.
Of course…
Later on, even though he did give his heart to the girl who saved him, it was a huge misunderstanding. He treated
Roxanne as his savior and doted on her for a few years.
Now, he didn’t want to let Joanna down again. He wanted to make it up to her. Other than Joanna, he didn’t want to
have any emotional entanglements with any other woman for the rest of his life.
“Bruce, I’ve been waiting for you for so many years. I have a lot of things to tell you. I regret not returning to the
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtcountry with you back then!”
“If I could go back in time, I would give up everything and come back with you…”
The more Aria spoke, the more emotional she became. She subconsciously grabbed his arm, her big eyes glistening
with
tears.
Bruce took a step back and kept a distance of 3.2 feet from her. He then changed the topic. “By the way, my wife
gave birth to another son for me in the hospital yesterday. Do you want to go to the hospital with me to see her?”
Aria was stunned, and the tears in her eyes froze. She felt really awkward.
She thought that Bruce had married another woman just to spite her and that he definitely did not love that
woman.
But now, it seemed that he had really fallen for his wife.
“Your wife gave birth yesterday?”
Bruce smiled and said, “Yes, it’s a boy. He’s our fourth child!”
“Although I really wanted a daughter, I got a boy. But it doesn’t matter. I like both boys and girls.”
When Aria heard this, she deflated like a balloon. The things she wanted to tell him were stuck in her throat, and
the smile on her face completely disappeared.
Exactly.
It had been so many years, and she had never taken the initiative to look for him. It was normal for him to look for
other
Women.
Over the past fifteen years, she had put most of her heart and soul into her studies and academics, but a small part
of her heart was always reserved for him.
Originally, she wanted to wait until she finished her studies before thinking about marriage. Then, she would come
back and reconnect with him.
What a pity!
She had overestimated her place in his heart.
After a long while, only then did Aria come back to her senses and say weakly, “Then… congratulations!”
“Thank you.”
“Aria, I’ll hold a wedding with my wife next month. I hope you can attend my wedding banquet.”
“There’s no need for that! I’ll be returning to Antlen next month.”
“It’s rare for you to come to Greyport. Stay for a while longer. My wife and I will bring you to see the scenery in the
country.”
“I think I’ll pass. Aren’t you afraid that your wife will be angry?”
Bruce chuckled. “No, my wife is very kind. She has a sharp tongue but a soft heart. She’s very interesting. I’m sure
you’ll like her.”
Aria’s expression completely darkened, and her heart felt like it was being stabbed by a knife. “Let’s talk about it in
the future!”
“Right now, I need you to help me bring the virus vaccine back to the country as soon as possible.”
“Yes, don’t worry! I’ll settle it as soon as possible.”
“Have a good rest. I’ll leave first. If I go back late, my
wife will be angry.”
H
After saying that, Bruce did not dare to stay any longer. He turried around and prepared to leave.
“Bruce…” Aria muttered, but she held it in.
He was someone else’s husband now, and there was no place for her in his heart.
She had better know her place and stop flattering herself.
At the hospital, Joanna was uneasy. Actually, she was jealous.
Her eyes kept darting to the clock.
Bruce said that he would be back before six o’clock, but now, it was already half past seven and he was still not
back.
He sure was a playboy!
She could imagine how excited he would be when he met his first love.
Perhaps he had already forgotten about her and was now having a candlelit dinner with his first love, chatting and
laughing.
As for her, she had been angered by him to the point of giving birth to their fourth child prematurely. After she gave
birth, he abandoned her in the hospital.
Men!
They were all the same. They were never satisfied with what they had and couldn’t forget their ex-girlfriends. They
couldn’t control their hearts and their restless lower bodies.
The more Joanna thought about it, the angrier she got.
Her heart ached like a knife was slashing it. She was so angry that she didn’t even eat her dinner.
At 7.50 PM, Miranda pushed the door open and came in. She said happily, “Joann, Mr. Everett is here, Mr. Everett is
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmhere!”
“I told you that he would come back. Something must have delayed him.”
Hearing this, Joanna immediately pulled the blanket over her head and covered herself completely.
At the same time, tears of grievance rolled down her face.
She hated it the most when he was not punctual.
He had agreed to be back before six, but it was almost eight now
Why did he come back? He might as well accompany his first love.
Three minutes later, Bruce walked in with a large bouquet of roses in his arms.
“Honey, I’m back! I brought you your favorite oatmeal and egg tarts, as well as mille crepe cake from Skyluxe.”
Joanna was under the blanket, tears pouring down her face.
Bruce came to the head of the bed and put down the items. He called out tentatively, “Honey, what’s wrong?”
Joanna ignored him and continued to stay under the blanket.
Miranda gave him a look, telling him that Joanna was jealous and angry that he was late.
Seeing this, Bruce knew that Joanna was jealous. He couldn’t help but laugh in his heart and forcefully lifted the
blanket.
“Honey, are you angry again?”
Joanna turned her head to the side and wiped her tears away forcefully. She said coldly, “No!”
“Are you jealous too?”
“You’re overthinking. What’s there for me to be jealous about?” Joanna tried her best to keep a straight face to
prevent her tears from flowing.
“You’re still saying that you’re not jealous? I can smell jealousy even from here.”
Joanna rolled her eyes at him. Her face was as cold as ice.
“This is for you, honey!” Bruce quickly handed a large bouquet of flowers to Joanna.
Joanna glanced at the roses and sneered in her heart.
One who was unaccountably solicitous was hiding evil intentions.
He must have done something wrong. That was why he bought flowers to coax her.
He was such a playboy. Perhaps he had already done something indescribable with his first love just now.
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. It was as if she had already caught them in the act.
“Honey, why are you angry?”
“What time is it now? Why are you back?”
Bruce was stunned for a moment before he smiled and coaxed her, “Honey, I’m sorry I’m late!”
“The roads were congested today. I went t buy flowers and food for you, so I came back late.”
“Please forgive me and don’t be angry anymore!”
