Chapter 449
Bruce frowned slightly and stared at Joanna’s eyes with a complicated gaze. He wished he could see through her mind.
Since she loved him, why did she have to keep messing around with him?
She only needed to take one step toward him, and he would take the rest ninety–nine steps.
Unfortunately, she was always distant from him. She treated him nicely but coldly at the same time. He really had no idea of what she wanted.
“Stop writing those things to me. No matter how many letters you write, I won’t forgive you!” Joanna’s voice was filled with anger and resentment as she waved the love letter in her hand.
Bruce did not understand what she was saying. He took two steps forward and trapped her in the circle of his arms. “Joanna, you clearly love me. Can you stop playing hard to get?”
“You’re sick!”
Before she could finish, Bruce held his breath and lowered his head to kiss her forcefully. “You really need a lesson.”
“Ah! Let go…”
“Slap!” Joanna raised her hand and slapped Bruce.
Bruce’s eyes instantly lit up. He was about to go crazy from the torture. Then, he nailed her arm to the wall. “What exactly do you want to do?”
Joanna stared at him fiercely. Bruce took a few deep breaths and forcefully suppressed the anger in his heart.
“Joanna, can you stop messing around? I’m really tired. Can we just enjoy our life? Let bygones be bygones!
“I’ve been humbled enough in front of you just to get you back. What else do you want me to do? Can’t you feel my love? Shall I take out my heart so you’ll see how much I love you?” Bruce was really tired. His eyes were filled with fatigue and grievance.
Joanna sneered coldly, feeling even more puzzled. “Mr. Everett, you’re really interesting. Am I messing around? What have I done?
“Get me back? Hehe, you’re really kind. Should I be grateful to you?”
Bruce felt a lump in his throat. He didn’t know what to say.
She had got a much sharper tongue, not giving him any face at all.
“You set trap after trap for me to fall into. You took the Haynes Group for granted, forced me to sign a binding contract, and now you’re pretending to love me? Don’t you find it ironic?”
Bruce choked and pursed his thin lips!
He admitted that what he did was a little too much. He shouldn’t have played too many tricks on her.
To him, any problem that could be solved with money was not a problem.
If the Haynes Group went bankrupt, he could invest in it. Tens of millions of dollars was nothing to him.
As long as she loved him and was willing to remarry him, he would share everything with her. He didn’t understand why she cared about the Haynes Group so much.
It didn’t make sense to him.
“Furthermore, I am not your punching bag, not someone you can hit or scold whenever you please. Bruce, you have no concept of respect. You are arrogantly assuming that everyone is your servant. I simply cannot tolerate your behavior any longer.”
When Bruce heard this, his heart ached again. His tone softened as he reached out to hug her. “I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have hit you that day.
“I’m truly sorry. If there’s anything that bothers you in the future, please don’t hesitate to let me know.
“Or what do you want me to do? Just tell me directly. You have to give me time to slowly change, okay? Can you stop being cold?”
Joanna took a deep breath. “I have nothing more to say to you!”
“Also, don’t write such boring things again.”
With that, Joanna pushed him away and threw the love letters to him.
Bruce frowned. When he looked at them, he was completely speechless.
“I didn’t write them.”
Chapter 449
“Who else could have done it?” Joanna frowned.
Bruce’s frown deepened. “I really didn’t write them! Besides, who would print a love letter?”
Joanna’s eyes darkened, and she quickly understood.
This must have been done by Davian and Irvin..
In the corner of the living room, the two little guys were peeping at their daddy and mommy arguing, their butts sticking
out.
Irvin looked nervous. “Oh no! Daddy and Mommy seem to have found out. What should we do?”
Davian’s expression was also solemn. He did not know how to end this.
When Bruce and Joanna heard the noise, they subconsciously turned around and saw the two little guys sneaking around.
“Boys, come here.”
Seeing that they had been discovered, the two little fellows did not dare to hide anymore and could only dawdle over.
“Daddy, Mommy…”
Joanna looked at the two little guys solemnly. “What exactly is going on? Did you write these letters?”
“Yes.”
When Joanna heard this, she became even angrier. “Why did you do this?”
Davian pursed his lips and said hesitantly, “We… just want Daddy and Mommy to reconcile.”
Bruce and Joanna were shocked when they heard that. They looked at the two little guys in disbelief.
Davian and Irvin lowered their heads timidly.
“Mommy, we don’t want you and Daddy to be separated. We are afraid of losing you. That’s why we wrote you letters and cooked Daddy spaghetti.
“What? You guys made the spaghetti?” Bruce was shocked.
“That’s right. We just want you guys to stop being mad at each other.” The two little fellows‘ eyes were filled with tears.
Joanna felt a lump in her throat.
Irvin sniffled and said with a sobbing tone, “Daddy, Mommy, can you stop fighting?
“We really want us to live together forever. Mommy, Daddy, Davian, Lilia, and me.”
When Bruce and Joanna heard this, their hearts ached.
Joanna took a deep breath and squatted down to gently wipe away Irvin’s tears. “Stop crying. Go back to sleep!”
“Joanna, do you see that? Even if it’s for the sake of the children, can you stop being angry?”
Joanna’s eyes stung. She felt indescribably uncomfortable!
The children were indeed her weakness!
For the sake of the children, it didn’t matter how much she sacrificed.
However, the wound in her heart was too heavy. She really could not completely forgive Bruce.
“Can you?” The three of them asked in unison as they looked at Joanna expectantly.
“I am not fighting with your Daddy! We were just discussing a problem. No matter what, we will always love you.” Joanna smiled and conforted them against her will.
“We don’t believe you!” The two little guys pouted. They weren’t so easy to fool. “Then can you guys hug?”
Joanna sighed slightly and subconsciously glanced at Bruce.
Bruce’s eyes were also extremely red as he looked at the three of them warmly.
Then, the two of them hugged gently.
