Chapter 479
“Mr. Everett, please say something! Have you resigned as president…“
The car was slowly driving out of the garage. The reporters followed it out of the parking lot. Even if they could only take at photo of the side profile of the person involved, this kind of news would still attract a lot of traffic.
Andy came into the office and replied, “Mr. Everett, the reporters have been lured away!”
“Okay, got it.”
“Honey, let’s go!” Bruce smiled dotingly.
Joanna tried to retort, but in the end, she held it in. Moreover, she was in a hurry to go home, not in the mood to argue with
him.
When they came out of the staff passageway, Bruce drove a backup car!
Joanna got into the passenger seat. After she fastened her seatbelt, she could not help but massage her sore waist and neck. “I’m so tired!”
After Bruce started the car, he glanced at her. “Are you tired? I’ll give you a massage when we get back.”
Joanna rolled her eyes and thought that he was just saying it casually and he didn’t really mean it.
A man like him, who had his hands full and his food open, was born to enjoy life. How could he wait on others?
Bruce drove out of the underground garage, turned the steering wheel, and drove towards the suburbs.
Joanna thought that he was worried about being tracked by the reporters, but after watching for a while, she clearly felt that something was wrong.
He drove in the exact opposite direction of home.
“Bruce, where are you going?”
Bruce grabbed the steering wheel and looked straight ahead. “Let’s go for a drive!”
“It’s already so late. Where are you going for a drive?”
“The night view of Greyport is still charming. I really want to go and take a look today.” Perhaps he wouldn’t be able to see it in the future. But he didn’t say this out loud.
Half an hour later, Bruce drove to Harbor Bay. They had been to this place before. It was called Lover’s Bay!
It was also part of the hairpin turn. Beside the road was the sea, and above it was the top of the Emerald Mountain!
Not only could they see the sea and the mountains, but they could also see the dazzling lights of thousands of families.
Bruce got out of the car and walked to a hill beside the road. He stood where he had stood last time.
He lit a cigarette and looked into the distance. His deep eyes were a little blurry.
Joanna also got out of the car. It was almost December, and the weather was already a little cold.
As Christmas was coming, various neon lights were very eye–catching. In Greyport, festivals like Christmas were still popular. Therefore, the atmosphere was quite intense.
“Look at this place. It’s quite beautiful!” Bruce blew out a smoke ring.
Joanna subconsciously took two steps back, in fear of passive smoking. “It’s a little cold. Let’s go back.”
She no longer tried to persuade him to quit smoking!
Since she couldn’t make it anyway, she might as well let him be!
“Why don’t you have any feelings at all?” Bruce tilted his head and looked at her, teasing her unhappily.
Then, he took off his suit and draped it over Joanna’s shoulders.
Although he was not fat, he was too tall. His suit was draped over Joanna as if she was wearing a windbreaker.
“It’s not cold now, is it?”
Joanna tightened the suit. “It’s alright.”
“Come on, take a walk with me!”
“Alright!” Joanna was a little reluctant.
The couple held hands and strolled along the beach.
They walked for about a few minutes without speaking to each other. But the atmosphere was peaceful, without a hint of

awkwardness or oppression. It was like an ordinary old couple strolling after dinner.
Bruce enjoyed this feeling of relaxation. Even if he didn’t say anything, he could feel satisfaction and warmth.
They walked hand in hand for another five to six minutes.
Joanna looked at her watch and couldn’t help but say, “It’s really getting late. It’s already past seven. Let’s go back quickly.”
Bruce frowned. “Can you walk around with me for more minutes?”
“I’m afraid the children will worry!”
“Then let them worry for a while! It’s rare for us to have such a peaceful walk.” There was a hint of pleading in his eyes.
Joanna had no choice but to continue walking with him.
“Joanna, do you think we can still walk like this fifty years later?”
Joanna rolled her eyes. She had never thought so far ahead.
Seeing that she was silent, Bruce asked again, “Why aren’t you saying anything? I’m asking you a question.”
Joanna sighed, not knowing what to say.
She didn’t talk much usually.
Now, although she didn’t hate him that much. She still couldn’t act cute and joke with him.
The estrangement had not completely dissipated!
Bruce pursed his lips and complained, “Joanna, I realized that you’re really quite boring. Sometimes, I’m found it tedious to stay with you.
“It’s like walking with you is dull as dishwater. There’s no romance at all.”
That was true. When he was with other women, they would rack their brains to please him.
Even Princess Martha would think of ways to make him happy. Only when she was with Joanna, she was really a little depressed.
