Chapter 309
“Okay!” Two little boys couldn’t wait and sat on the small chairs they used to sit on when eating
They held a big spoon and ate the dumplings eagerly.
The enticing aroma made Bruce’s stomach growl, and he involuntarily swallowed, thinking, “Where is my spaghetti?”
Even though he had a discerning and picky appetite, ever since he tasted the spaghetti made by Joanna, his taste buds could never forget that flavor.
Joanna didn’t say a word and turned back into the kitchen!
After a short while, Joanna came out holding a plate of spaghetti!
The fragrant scent of meat sauce and meatballs filled the whole room.
Although the preparation was simple, the taste was incredibly delicious and appetizing!
With a cold expression, Joanna placed the dish of spaghetti on the table and walked away.
Bruce didn’t say much either and picked up his tableware to eat it.
The father and his three children gathered around the dining table and enjoyed their meal..
Soon, Davian finished a bowl of dumplings and asked, “Mommy, is there more?”
Joanna quickly smiled and replied, “Yes! There’s plenty more!”
Davian licked his lips and contentedly said, “Mommy, I want another bowl! Please add more shrimp for me!”
“Alright!” Joanna took Davian’s bowl and filled it with more than half a bowl.
“Mommy, I want some too!” Irvin was afraid there wouldn’t be any left in the pot, so he hurriedly finished his portion.
Joanna smiled again and served Irvin a bowl.
As she watched the children devour their food, she felt immense joy and tenderness in her heart.
If possible, she wished she could cook for her children every day.
The two little boys devoured two big bowls of small dumplings.
Lilia had a small appetite and only ate a small bowl.
Bruce also finished his spaghetti.
He had never experienced such a satisfying and enjoyable eating experience before. Only the spaghetti made by Joanna could satisfy his discerning taste buds.
After finishing dinner, it was already 7 p.m.
Joanna chatted with the children, completely ignoring Bruce.
Watching the warm and lively conversation between the mother and her three children, Bruce felt increasingly left out. Jealousy crept up in his heart.
“Cough, cough!” Bruce intentionally coughed heavily, trying to draw attention.
Unfortunately, Joanna and the children were engrossed in their reunion, and no one paid him any mind.
Bruce touched his nose in annoyance and spoke in a cold tone, “Davian, Irvin, Lilia, it’s time for us to go back!”
The three little ones‘ smiles vanished as soon as they heard it!
The smile on Joanna’s fate also cooled down!
Davian, with a hint of grievance, said, “Mommy! We want to stay here!”
Joanna felt a pang in her heart upon hearing their words.
She knew Bruce wouldn’t agree to let the children stay, so she gently comforted them, “…Darlings, you have to go to kindergarten tomorrow!”
“Mommy, we want to stay with you!” The three little ones said in unison, their eyes pleading as they looked at Joanna.
Seeing their expressions, Joanna felt even more distressed. She instinctively glanced at Bruce.
Bruce’s face turned cold, and his eyebrows raised slightly.
This stubborn woman. If she had just listened obediently, he wouldn’t have to separate her from her children.
He fought for custody of the children only to force Joanna to stay by his side.
Unfortunately, Joanna would rather endure the pain of separation than accept him.
Joanna said, “Darlings, please listen and go back with Daddy for now….”

Chapter 309
“Hurry up and leave. We still have plano practice tonight!” Bruce urged with a stern face.
If Joanna had been willing to ask him to stay, he would have gladly stayed with the children.
But he knew that Joanna would never keep himl
“Mommy.” the three little ones pouted and dragged their feet, unwilling to leave.
Seeing the longing in their eyes, Joanna felt her heart breaking
She looked at Bruce sorrowfully and asked in an almost pleading tone, “Bruce, can you let the children stay here for one night?”
Bruce locked eyes with her, feeling a wrenching sensation in his heart, an irresistible surge of emotions.
“Well, they can stay… but… I want to stay too!” Bruce took a few steps closer, his eyes filled with anticipation as he looked at Joanna.
How he wished Joanna could hug him affectionately and ask him to stay!
But seeing Bruce’s unfriendly gaze, Joanna panicked. She quickly stepped back, creating distance between them.
Joanna was truly afraid of Bruce! She was even more afraid of the feeling of being forcibly dominated and conquered by him.
Even with him standing before her, her heart couldn’t stop racing with nervousness.
“Why are you so nervous, Joanna? Are you afraid I’ll devour you?” Bruce couldn’t help but feel a stirring inside as he watched her anxious state.
If the children hadn’t been present, he might not have been able to resist his urges.
The feeling of being with her was etched deep into his bones, irresistible. It was a feeling that no other woman could evoke in him.
Beep, beep, beep!
Coincidentally, Bruce’s phone started ringing!
He took out his phone and glanced at it. It was a call from Princess Martha.
Bruce furrowed his brows and promptly disconnected the call.
Joanna also instinctively glanced at Bruce, realizing that the person calling him had an unusual relationship with him.
Beep, beep, beep!
Just as Bruce disconnected the call, another call came in immediately.
Bruce cursed under his breath and turned away. He did not want Joanna to see his emotions at that moment.
Lilia waved to Joanna, gesturing for her to come closer to have a private conversation.
Understanding her daughter’s intention, Joanna crouched and brought her ear close to Lilia’s mouth.
Lilia spoke cautiously, “Mommy, Daddy is going to have a new girlfriend. Aren’t you worried at all?”
Joanna was taken aback. “If Daddy has a new girlfriend, Mommy will bless them.”
“But…” Lilia looked disappointed after hearing her response.
Beep, beep, beep!
The phone rang again!
Bruce, feeling helpless, walked to the balcony to answer the phone.
“Hello!” Bruce answered the phone with a deep voice.
On the other end of the line, Princess Martha’s dissatisfied voice came through, asking him in Antlenish, “Bruce, why didn’t you answer the phone?”
Bruce replied in the same language, “Um, what’s up?”
The two of them always communicated in Antlenish despite coming from different countries. They had no language barrier between them.
Princess Martha paused for a few seconds and mysteriously said, “I want to give you a surprise!”
“What kind of surprise?”
“Guess where I am?”
Bruce furrowed his brows, having a bad feeling.
Seeing Bruce’s silence for a while, Princess Martha felt a bit disappointed. She decided not to keep him in suspense and directly revealed the answer, “I’m at the airport right now. Hurry up and come pick me up!”
Bruce’s head throbbed as he listened, and he frowned in annoyance.
“What did you say?”
Chapter 309
