The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife (Joanna) novel Chapter 47

Chapter 47 

Now that Bruce was missing, there was no way they wouldn’t be afraid. 

The previous night. Bruce would not let anyone follow him. The bodyguards did not dare to disobey him, nor did they dare to let him out of their sight. 

Thus, all they could do was follow him sneakily. However, Bruce drove too fast. 

Within minutes, they had lost him. 

They searched all night but couldn’t find him, and that made them even more frightened! 

At seven o’clock in the morning, the alarm clock rang, and Joanna got up to turn it off. 

Nowadays, she was a terrible sleeper and would only sleep for three or four hours a day. 

Last night, because of Bruce’s interruption, she only managed to get less than two hours of sleep. 

In the living room, Bruce was lying on the couch, sound asleep. 

As he had lost a lot of blood, his brain was very deoxygenated, which was why he was particularly sleepy. 

After Joanna got up, he was still asleep. 

Talia got up as well and gazed at Bruce on the couch with a look of resignation. “Miss Haynes, what should we do about him?” 

“Leave him be. Just let him sleep!” 

After Joanna washed up, she was ready to make breakfast. 

With Miranda being away, Talia had to take care of Lilia. 

Thus, Joanne had to prepare breakfast by herself. 

However, she only prepared simple meals. 

Sometimes, it would be as simple as a sandwich or a salad with boiled eggs, served with a cup of strong coffee. 

Just as Joanna finished making a sandwich, Bruce awakened. 

His face had swelled up even more after he had gotten one night of sleep. 

His left eye was swollen and was an appalling sight. 

The white bandage on his head had also leaked a little, looking yellow and gooey. 

“Joann, what are you doing?” 

Joanna shot him a glance. “It’s morning now, so get back to the hospital!” 

“Aren’t you going to keep me for breakfast?” 

“Please, I have to work later. Will you stop messing around?” 

Hearing that, Bruce instantly softened his tone. “I think you’ve been hurt pretty badly too, so why don’t you take a day off? Anyway, work never ends. There’s no need to work so hard.” 

When Joanna heard this, her heart clenched even more. 

She wouldn’t have had to work so hard if he hadn’t pressured her into signing the agreement. 

According to the agreement, in three years‘ time, if she did not fulfill her promise to the company, she would lose everything. 

And he was the one who had cornered her into signing it. 

Yet, he was now standing there, saying nonsense to her. 

“Bruce, that’s enough. Stop it with your pretense. You have to go now!” 

“Joann, there’s been a misunderstanding between us!” 

“I don’t want to hear any more of this! Please get out of there!” 

Joanna pushed Bruce, trying to force him to get out of the house. 

“Joann, let me explain. There’s truly been a misunderstanding between us! I’m sorry for not knowing the truth until yesterday… 

“Shut up! I don’t want to hear anything you have to say. If you don’t go now, don’t blame me for being discourteous to you!” 

As the two of them tugged and pushed at each other, a sweet and crisp voice rang out from the room. 

“Mommy! Who are you talking to? Has Davian and Irvin come back?” 

Bruce froze and looked blankly at the room’s door. “Who’s calling you?” 

With a look of panic on her face, Joanna shoved Bruce toward the front door. “Just go! Don’t stay in my house!” 

“Who’s in the room?” Bruce ignored her and walked straight into the room. 

“Bruce, stop right there! You’re not going in there!” 

Joanna tried desperately to stop him. 

Unfortunately, she was not strong enough to do so. 

Even if he was injured, Bruce was still much stronger than her. 

Click! 

He opened the door. 

“Lilia!” 

Seeing that she was unable to stop him, Joanna barged into the room first, afraid that Bruce would frighten her daughter. 

Once the door was opened, Bruce fixed his eyes on the little girl who was lying in bed. 

The little girl was very pale and looked frail. 

However, she was exceedingly pretty and was much like a miniature version of Joanna. 

Lilia was also looking curiously at Bruce with large, flickering eyes. 

“Is this…”
