The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife (Joanna) novel Chapter 1013

Chapter 1013 

“It’s been a long time since I last smoked. Well, I suddenly felt like having one.” 

Joanna rolled her eyes at him. “Look at you. You always go back on your word. You agreed to quit smoking, but here you are secretly smoking behind my back.” 

“Alright, honey, I won’t smoke again.” 

“Darling…” She looked at him with a hint of sadness as she sat on his lap.. 

“What’s wrong?” He gently picked up a strand of her hair, twirling it around his fingers. 

“Sigh, are you really leaving tomorrow morning?” 

“Silly, how many times have you asked that already? Are you so reluctant to part with your husband?” 

“Sigh!” She let out another sigh while her gaze was filled with distress. “I’ve been feeling uneasy all this time. You know, something just doesn’t feel right, especially with Devin crying so much for no reason. It doesn’t seem auspicious, does it? Why don’t you reconsider going to Melta?” 

He could not help but laugh, “Haha, you’re overthinking things.” 

“It’s not just that! It has been very chaotic in Melta lately, and many people there have been attacked.” 

“Don’t worry, I won’t be going to the slums. Besides, I’ll be taking Darcy and the others with me. Everything will be fine,” he said, trying his best to reassure her. 

However, she still felt uneasy. “How about… you go there a little later?” “No, I can’t delay it any longer.” 

She fell silent, staring at him with wide eyes, as if pondering something. 

They gazed at each other for a while. 

After a long while. 

He looked away, pulling her into his embrace. “Don’t worry! Your husband is a top talent, right? Nothing could stand in his way. I promise you, once everything is taken care of, I’ll return immediately.” 

“Bruce, are you hiding something from me?” she asked softly all of a sudden. 

She always felt like he had some secrets. 

In the past, she used to think it was just money that made things easy for him. 

With his wealth, of course, he could handle anything much easier than others. 

There was a saying. 

Money was not everything, but without money many things would become impossible. In other words, money can solve significant problems. 

However, 

Now, she suddenly felt that money was not the only factor at play. 

For sahiple, Bruce, a man with a bad temper, had nearly offended all the dignitaries in 

ver the years, he stood tall. The strangest thing was when they sought help from the 

by in Sanni Cradl 

The embassy gave them exceptional attention. 

If he were just an ordinary wealthy person, he would not have been so fortunate on every 

occasion. 

Bruce shifted his gaze to the side. “Haha, why do you ask? 

I always feel like you’ve been hiding a lot of things. But I can’t say exactly what it is. Anyway, it doesn’t feel like something good. Well, are you keeping a mistress in Melta?” “You’re overthinking, silly. Why do you always think too much?” he said with a mysterious 

smile. 

His true identity was something he could never reveal to anyone except for those within the organization. 

In other words, even the people closest to him could not find out. 

One of his former colleagues, a special agent, had been married to his wife for over 30 years, and she remained unaware of his true identity until after his passing. 

Bruce had decided to keep this secret forever hidden. 

“Don’t overthink things. If I had a mistress, I wouldn’t be able to spend so much time with you, would I?* 

Joanna smiled affectionately. She was just joking around, after all. 

“Are you sure you’re not lying to me?” 

“Positive!” 

“You swear?” 

“Alright, I swear. If I lied to you, may I…” 

Hearing this, she hurriedly covered his mouth. 

“Never mind. You better not make any oaths. You know, you are a jinx. God knows what inauspicious words you might say.”
