The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife (Joanna) novel Chapter 1228

At Bentlond Villa the next day.

"Ari, why are you in such a hurry to leave Greyport?" Jaydon anxiously watched as Aria packed her luggage.

"I have a very important business trip to Elmerton. I'm leaving today," Aria said as she packed her luggage.

Jaydon's heart skipped a beat. He grabbed Aria's arm tightly. "Do you have to leave?"

Aria replied firmly, "Yes!"

"But... I don't want you to leave. Can you stay?" Jaydon's tone was sincere and passionate.

"I really have a business to do. When I'm done with my work, I'll come back to Greyport when I have the chance," Aria said and continued to pack.

"Ari, is the business you're talking about another extremely dangerous mission?" Anxiety and worry appeared in Jaydon's eyes.

Aria's eyes flickered. She paused for a few seconds before continuing to pack her things.

This mission to South Elmerton would definitely be very dangerous, and she went with the mindset that she might not make it out alive.

She knew that there was no chance between her and Bruce. She was a woman with high aspirations and would rather be single than settle. She couldn't bring herself to compromise, let alone lower her standards when it came to choosing a partner.

But honestly, she wouldn't find a man who could surpass Bruce in this world.

Whenever she saw Bruce and Joanna being lovey-dovey, she felt like a knife stabbed her heart. It was so painful that she wanted to die. However, she could not control this feeling.

Therefore, she decided to carry out the most challenging task. She could only stop her thoughts from running wild by keeping her mind and body tense at all times.

"Ari, your current job is too dangerous. This is not a job for a woman.

"Can you... quit like Bruce and live the life of a normal woman?"

Aria looked at Jaydon coldly. "From the day I joined the organization, my life belonged to the organization.

"I'm not going to run away from a fight, and I'm not going to give up halfway. I'm not going to allow romance to hinder my duties and beliefs."

"But the work you're doing is too dangerous. You could easily lose your life! A person only has one life. We have to cherish our lives..." said Jaydon.

When Aria heard this, she looked at Jaydon with some contempt. "You should feel honored and great to be able to sacrifice yourself for the organization. An outstanding agent's final destination is not a hospital bed or a comfortable nest at home. It must be on a 'battlefield.'

"Only in this way could he die content, with his life imbued with meaning."

Jaydon's heart skipped a beat. There was a complicated look in his eyes.

He was really shocked by Aria's words and even felt a sense of shame and inferiority.
