Chapter 1014
“Silly, it’s not like I’m not coming back. Why cry?” Bruce said as he wrapped his arms around Joanna.
She was wearing a thin silk nightgown. As she leaned against his chest, she could feel his warmth and breath..
Her heart had once again opened up completely, allowing him to occupy every corner of it. If he were to break her heart again, she would not be able to carry on living as she was unable to withstand any more pain or hardships.
The last time you went to Antlen, so many unpleasant things happened. Now you’re going to Melta, and I’m… quite worried, she held him tightly as tears streamed down her cheeks uncontrollably.
“Silly. I’m going there for work, okay? I am not going to do anything illegal. Just stay home and wait for me. Once I’m done with work, I’ll be back immediately.
His eyes were tender while his voice was incredibly gentle.
She held him close, leaning against his chest as she found it hard to let
I had a very bad dream last night, and I just have this bad feeling that… Before she could finish, he interrupted her, saying, “Haha, were you even asleep last night? I didn’t sleep at all, yet you were able to sleep?”
He grinned playfully.
He would be leaving on a business trip soon, meaning they would not see each other for a long time.
Therefore, they had to make the most of last night.
They got carried away and ended up indulging in pleasures until morning. If he were not leaving today, she could not have handled it.
She wondered if other men were as demanding as Bruce.
“How could you have the mood to joke around? I’m being serious here. Can you stop fooling around?”
“Alright, okay. I’m listening Tell me!”
She wiped her tears away. “Forget it. I’m not gonna say it. Anyway, you must promise me that you would back safe and sound. Don’t stir up trouble, okay? And when you’re in Melta. try to control your temper. Don’t get into conflicts with the locals, and don’t steal the
limelight from the local powers, okay.”
He diuckled, feeling helpless. Haha, I got it. Ir not some nobody anyway. I know how to handle things. Well, it’s getting late so I have to get changed now”
Seven o’clock
The two washed up aud changed their clothes before coming downstairs.
Good moming Mr. Everett, Mrs. Everet. Breakfast is ready, the maid said respectfully. Joanna looked at Bruce tenderly “Have some breakfast.
“Til make you some spaghetti
There’s no need I don’t have enough time so I just have something simple
“Alright then?”
The servant brought over scrambled eggs, bacon strips, and oatmeal.
Bruce had a small plate, then watched Joanna eat
“Eat up. You’re too skinny now. You have to have eggs and oatmeal every day, okay? Your can’t skip them
Okay”
The Everett family always had milk and oatmeal for breakfast, and she was already tired of them. But for the sake of beauty and nutrition, she could only force herself to eat.
“Be good and take good care of the children,” he instructed worriedly.
“I know. I’ll take care of things at home.”
Davian and Irvin had also woken up. “Daddy, are you going on a business trip today?” “That’s right!”
“Have a safe trip. Daddy. Please come home early,”
“Alright!” Bruce smiled at the two boys.
“Daddy, when you come back from Melta, can you bring us toys? I want the latest Transformers figurine and a pair of roller skates.
The father smiled and nodded. “Sure. You guys have to be well–behaved and listen to Mommy while I’m gone, okay? Don’t be naughty, or else you’ll regret it when I get back. The little ones smiled sweetly. “Daddy, don’t worry, we’ll be the best–behaved.”
“I have to go. It’s about time.”
As Bruce spoke, his gaze turned to Joanna. “Look at you, your eyes are red already. Just go upstairs and rest. Don’t worry about me, okay? Everything will be fine; it’s just a business trip.
“No, I want to go to the airport and see you off.
With helplessness, he said, “You’re becoming unruly, silly girl.”
After breakfast.
Bruce and Joanna left the house.
The driver and the servants were already waiting on the lawn, and the cars were pulled out
of the garage.
“Morning, Mr. and Mrs. Everett.”
The driver opened the door.
“Get in the car!”
“Yeah” After Joanna had got into the car, Bruce also got in from the other side.
Darcy and Carson, along with others, quickly got into another car.
Four luxury cars slowly drove out of Sherane Bay Villa.
Forty minutes later.
At the airport.
“Mr. Everett, we have arrived at the airport.”
The bodyguards quickly went forward to open the car door while the rest of the people hurriedly carried the luggage.
They all got out of the cars.
This time, Bruce was going to Melta with Darcy, Carson, and another three men.
Of course, he also had accommodations and assistants in Melta.
To carry out the mission, bringing too many people would be counterproductive. Therefore, he only brought the most trusted individuals with him.
Darcy and Carson were dressed in suits, wearing sunglasses, and following behind Bruce. Bruce had his arm around Joanna’s shoulder as they walked toward the VIP passage.
She suddenly thought of something and turned to look at Darcy. ‘By the way, Darcy, take good care of yourself during this long trip.”
“Thank you for your concern, Mrs. Everett.”
“Well…” She wanted to talk to him about Grace.
Yet the words stopped in her throat.
She supposed there was no point telling him what was on her mind now, it would be better to wait until he came back.
