The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife (Joanna) novel Chapter 1024

Chapter 1024 

“Joann, I haven’t been able to get through to Darcy. Does he… already have a sweetheart?” Grace’s voice was hoarse. It was obvious that she had just cried. 

Joanna’s heart skipped a beat. “Grace, don’t let your imagination run wild. Wait for Darcy to come back.” 

Grace sniffled and said in a choked voice, “But I’ve been calling and sending him messages these few days. He didn’t even reply. Now, I can’t even get through to his phone. 

“Joann, why isn’t Darcy answering my calls? Am I that annoying? Am I so irritating that he wants to avoid me?” 

“Grace, perhaps it may not be convenient for him now… 

Grace would not listen to Joanna’s comfort at all. Grace muttered, “Joann, can you help me call him? I just want to hear his voice to confirm that he’s fine. 

“I want to ask him why he’s avoiding me. Am I that annoying?” 

As she spoke, Grace sobbed. 

“Definitely not. Grace, stop crying.” Joanna could only comfort Grace anxiously. 

“Darcy and my husband went to no man’s land. The cell phone signal is not good there, so they may not be able to receive it. Not only can’t your call go through, but my calls can’t get through either.” 

When Grace heard this, she was skeptical. “…Is it true? Joann, please don’t lie to me.” 

Joanna took a deep breath. “Why would I lie to you? I called my husband too, but I couldn’t get through.” 

“Why?” 

“They said they were going to look for an energy mine. The signal there is not good, so it’s difficult to reach them.” 

Grace frowned. “Is that so?” 

Joanna replied affirmatively, “Yes, you don’t have to yourself. 

1. Take care of 

“Darcy didn’t mean to ignore you. There’s just no signal on his phone.” 

10:31 

Grace fell silent again. 

This was the first time Grace had taken a relationship so seriously. 

Moreover, she was pursuing a man who might not be worthy of her in the eyes of others. 

People are like that. The more unattainable it is, the more they will yearn for it. If it comes easy, it will not be treasured. 

Joanna drew a deep breath in and did not want to say anything else. She said tactfully, “Grace, I’m still busy. Let’s chat later.” 

“Joann…” Grace’s voice carried a hint of melancholy and hopelessness. 

One could imagine that Grace must be having trouble eating and sleeping. 

“What’s wrong?” 

“I… I want to…” 

“What do 

you 

want?” 

Grace made up her mind. “Joann, I want to go to Melta to look for Darcy. Can you tell me his whereabouts?” 

Joanna was shocked and quickly dissuaded her. “Grace, are you crazy? They are in no man’s land.” 

“Joann, I’ve been studying at Melta since I was young. I’m very familiar with that country. As long as you tell me where he is, I can find him by myself.” 

“Silly girl, don’t take the risk. My husband said that they’re in a place called Tanzda. I think it’s a no man’s land in the west. It’s really not safe for you to go alone.” 

Since the incident in Antlen and Saumi Cradia, Joanna felt that there was no place safer than home. 

If it wasn’t necessary, Joanna really didn’t want to go overseas again. 

“Tanzda?” Grace frowned. 

Grace had been studying in Melta since she was young and had a certain understanding of the country’s current politics, culture, geography, and 

so on. 

“That’s right!” 

“What are they doing there?” 

“My husband said he’s looking for an energy mine. Maybe he wants to

develop it…” 

“What energy mine?” Grace looked confused. 

“My husband didn’t say what it is.” 

Grace pondered for a few seconds and asked worriedly, “Joann, is Bruce 

lying to you? Even if there is an energy mine there, it’s impossible to develop it. 

“The no man’s land there is not suitable for development at all. 

“Is Bruce lying to you?” 

Joanna frowned when she heard that. 

Although she didn’t know where Tanzda was, she had been in the capital of Melta for four years. 

She also basically understood the economy of Melta. They would not let foreigners develop their mineral resources so casually. 

“Joann, what do you think they’re doing?” 

“Grace, I’ll call my husband again to confirm. You don’t have to be anxious now. They… will come back after they’re done. 

“I’ll call you immediately if I get any news.” 

“…Alright!” Grace could only agree. 

After hanging up, Joanna felt even more uneasy. 

Melta’s labor costs were very expensive, especially in no man’s land. It was impossible to realize a mining resource development project. 

If that was the case, Bruce must be lying to her. 

“This damned bastard has not been uttering a single truth. What is he doing?” Joanna cursed silently. 

“The number you have dialed is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later.” Bruce still could not be reached. 

[Bruce after you receive this message, call me back immediately. I have something very important to ask you.] 

Joanna sent him a voice message angrily. 

After sending it out, she quickly retracted it. 

If Bruce was really deliberately hiding from Joanna, he would definitely make up another excuse when he heard her angry message.
