The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife (Joanna) novel Chapter 147

Chapter 147

However, Roxanne did not dare to take the initiative to contact Gavin anymore. It was not easy for her to settle this matter, so she was unwilling to get herself stuck in an unpleasant situation again.

“So what if we don’t have a healthy married sex life? As long as we have money, everything will be fine!” she thought.

Roxanne tossed and turned until the latter half of the night. She was so tired that finally, she drifted off to sleep.

She missed Gavin so much that she even drearned of him.

The next day.

When Roxanne woke up, it was already past 11 in the afternoon.

Bruce had already gone to work.

Roxanne pondered for a while and could not resist giving Ingrid a call.

Since her mother was more experienced, Roxanne thought that she might have a solution for this.

Roxanne punched Ingrid’s phone number on her phone and dialed it.

The call went through quickly.

“Hello, Roxy. What’s the matter?” Ingrid asked.

“Mom…” Roxanne hesitated to say what she wanted to say.

Ingrid heard the hesitation in Roxanne’s voice, and her heart sank. “What happened this time?”

“Mom, I want to ask you something,” Roxanne said.

“Go ahead,” Ingrid said.

Roxanne took a deep breath. She could not help but ask, “Well… What should I do if a man is unable to perform in bed?”

On the other end of the line, Ingrid’s eyes widened in shock. “Can’t perform in bed? Who are you referring to?”

Roxanne said in an annoyed tone, “Who else can it be…”

Ingrid was startled and asked in disbelief, “Are you talking about Bruce? Oh my goodness, how is this possible?”

Roxanne sighed. “Mom, it’s true!”

Ingrid said, “It can’t be. I thought you two have done the deed before, so how is it possible that he’s unable to perform?”

Roxanne said angrily, “No! I was lying to you before!

“We tried to dont last night, but unfortunately… we kept failing.”

When Ingrid heard this, she found it even more unbelievable. “No way! Bruce seems like a man with vigorous energy. How is it possible that he has that

kind of illness?”

“It’s true! Why would I lie to you?” Roxanne said.

Ingrid paused for a few seconds. From Roxanne’s tone, it did not sound like she was joking.

“Roxy, don’t be anxious. You can make some medicinal cuisine for him. Buy more seahorses, deer antlers, the bark of rubber trees, and wolfberries. Make some soup for him to nourish his body. It will definitely work,” Ingrid advised.

“Will these really work?” Roxanne asked.

Ingrid countered, “Why not?

“I have a recipe here. I’ll send it to you later. You can follow the steps and make it for Bruce. If it still doesn’t work, you can only treat his illness with the use of medication!”

Roxanne sighed in frustration. “But such things are hard to say!”

Ingrid paused for a moment and hurriedly reminded her daughter, “Don’t say such things in front of Bruce. It will hurt his pride! Just make it according to the medicinal cuisine recipe!”

“Mom, what if he really can’t do it in the future?” Roxanne asked worriedly.

“Silly girl, it doesn’t matter if he can or can’t. Even if he really can’t, what does it matter? He’s so rich. He’ll think of a way to solve it!” Ingrid said.

“But…” Roxanne was about to continue speaking, but Ingrid did not give her a chance to do so.

She interrupted, “No buts. I will give you a prescription later. Just follow it!

“I’m playing poker now, so I’ll talk to you another time!”

“Oh, okay,” Roxanne said.

“I’m hanging up!” Ingrid hung up after saying that.

Roxanne was feeling distraught and could only hang up too.

Over at Ingrid’s end.

Ingrid was currently being harassed by her two cousins.

Seeing that she had finished the call, a tall and burly middle-aged man, Wallace, teased, “It’s just 4 million dollars. Your daughter is about to marry into the Everett family. This small amount of money is nothing to you!”

Ingrid rolled her eyes and said, “You make it sound so easy. Even if my daughter marries into the Everett family, the money is still the Everett family’s money, not mine!

“Both of you are too greedy! Where am I going to find so much money for you guys?”

Another slightly plump cousin, Oscar, also smiled and patted Ingrid’s butt. “That’s enough! Stop pretending. It’s not like we don’t know how much money you have!

“It’s only 4 million dollars, and you’ll get to enjoy a lifetime of wealth and glory. Not a bad deal at all, right?”

Wallace chimed in, “That’s right. We have accompanied you for more than a decade! Don’t tell me you want to kick us out of your life!

“If not, why don’t you let us continue working at the Haynes Group? Either that or you have to compensate us 2 million dollars each. If you do that, we promise not to pester you anymore!”

Ingrid gritted her teeth and said angrily, “4 million dollars is not a small sum. You have to give me time to raise it!”

“We already gave you a few months to raise the money. I don’t believe that till now, you haven’t managed to raise the money,” Wallace said.

Ingrid’s face darkened. She was angry and anxious. “Oh please! You’re talking about 4 million dollars, not 400 dollars!

“Who will keep that much money at home? Besides, if I transfer 4 million dollars from my account at once and my husband finds out, what should I do?”

Wallace pinched her butt and chuckled. “You will have a way. We believe you!

“Hurry up and transfer the money! For old times’ sake, we’ve already given you time! You can’t keep trying to trick us.”
