The next day arrived.
Bruce got up early in the morning and prepared to go to the company. "It's Friday today. I'll go to the company. Starting tomorrow, I won't go to the company anymore. I'm prepared to accompany you on maternity leave."
When Joanna heard this, she smiled and looked at Bruce. "I'm giving birth, not you. Besides, it's only been more than seven months now. I can't give birth so quickly."
"That won't do. I have to accompany you," Bruce said seriously.
After all, during Joanna's previous two pregnancies, due to various reasons, Bruce hadn't been able to provide proper care and companionship.
This time, Bruce had already made a perfect plan, from the time Joanna was about to give birth to the baby to the time she was in confinement.
"Fine."
Bruce smiled dotingly and kissed Joanna gently on the lips, then on the forehead.
"I'm going, honey."
"Okay. Be careful on the road."
"Got it."
Bruce put on his suit and stuffed the documents for the meeting into the briefcase before going to the company.
There was a shareholders' meeting today.
At the same time, Bruce also planned to retire behind the scenes and prepared to nurture a successor to take over his work.
Joanna was about to give birth. Bruce planned to take paternity leave to be with her.
Then Bruce went to work.
Joanna stretched lazily and prepared to get up.
These recent days had been some of the happiest and most content moments. Although there were some small frictions, everything was developing in a good direction.
After washing up, Joanna went downstairs for breakfast.
"Good morning, Mrs. Everett," The servants greeted Joanna respectfully.
"Good morning."
Suddenly, Joanna's phone rang.
After breakfast, Grace called.
"Hello, Grace," Joanna said after she answered the call.
Grace's angry voice came from the other end of the phone. "Joann, something bad has happened."
Joanna was shocked and quickly asked, "What's wrong?"
"My brother is possessed. I don't know what's wrong with him. He insists on going to South Elmerton."
"What? To South Elmerton?"
"That's right. He has already booked a plane ticket and is preparing to go tomorrow."
When Joanna heard this, her mind went blank. "Why does he want to go to South Elmerton?"
It seemed that Jaydon was going to South Elmerton to look for Aria.
"Who knows what he's doing? I've already said that there's something wrong with his head."
Grace sighed and said indignantly, "I'm getting married soon. I asked him to wait until I'm done with my wedding, but he refused to wait. I'm really impressed."
"Don't worry. I'll call him and ask."
"Alright. Hurry up and persuade him. I really can't believe it.
"He doesn't even care about his own sister's wedding. How can he be such a brother?"
"Okay. I'll call him now."
"So be it."
