The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife (Joanna) novel Chapter 720

Chapter 720 

Joanna smiled gently and comforted the children. “Be good at home,” she said. “Mommy will be back in a few days.” 

Davian nodded obediently and said, “Oh. Okay. Mommy, take good care of your health.” 

Irvin also stuck his head out to greet Joanna. He said, “Mommy, don’t worry. We’ll be good.” 

“That’s all then,” Joanna said. “I’ll hang up now.” 

“Okay!” the three children said in unison.”Goodbye, Mommy and Daddy.” 

The children had gotten used to their parents not being at home, so they did not throw a tantrum. 

After hanging up, Joanna could not help but sigh. It was a precious moment being with the children, yet they now had to be separated for so many days. 

Upon hearing that, Bruce frowned and said, “Honey, why do you like to sigh so much? Stop sighing all the time.” 

“Do I?” Joanna asked involuntarily. 

“Yes!” Bruce said. “I’ve heard you sigh 800 times a day. 

“I’ve told you. Just focus on taking good care of yourself during pregnancy. Don’t think about anything else. 

“I’ve got everything covered. Even if the sky were to fall, I would hold it up for you.” Bruce could not help but console Joanna. 

She always liked to overthink and have random thoughts. Excessive worrying could harm one’s body. 

“Haha, how can a little fool like you hold it up?” Joanna said. She could not help but want to sigh again. 

On second thought, she restrained the urge to sigh. 

She thought, “People often say that one should not sigh all the time. It would make good luck go away. 

“Recently, I’ve been sighing quite frequently. I should definitely pay more attention to it in the future.” 

Hearing Joanna call him “Little Fool”, Bruce felt extremely annoyed. “Don’t call me ‘Little Fool’ anymore,” he said. “You have to call me ‘Hubby’ in the future!” 

“Haha, dream on,” Joanna replied angrily. 

“Why?” Bruce said. “Are you thinking of looking for another husband?” As Bruce talked, his big hand began to wander playfully. 

Joanna was left speechless. She frowned. 

“Our fourth child is about to be born,” Joanna thought. “Why would I want to look for another partner? 

“I will spend the rest of my life with him in a daze.” 

“Why aren’t you talking?” Bruce said. “You want to look for another husband again, huh? 

“Don’t tell me that you’re still thinking about that annoying person!” Bruce could not help but feel jealous again. 

Joanna took a moment to understand what Bruce was trying to say. “Which annoying person am I thinking about?” she 

asked. 

Bruce was extremely displeased. He said in a jealous tone, “Hmph, you know whom I’m talking about. It’s that annoying and bothersome person.” 

When Joanna heard this, she quickly realized that the annoying person he was talking about was Jaydon. 

Sigh! 

“They really are long-standing enemies,” Joanna thought. “They are still at odds with each other to this day.” 

“I’m really amazed by you,” Joanna said. “Your mind is not clear, yet you still think about such nonsense.” 

“Regardless of whether my mind is clear or not, you can only have me in your heart,” Bruce said. “You can’t think about any 

other man. 

“Even more so, you can’t have any ambiguous relationships with other men. You are to only love me and think of me.” 

Joanna could not help but laugh. “Alright, alright, alright,” she said. “I will only love you and think of you, okay?” 

“No, you have to swear,” Bruce said. 

“Alright, I swear that I’ll only love you and think of you for the rest of my life,” Joanna said. 

“Call me ‘Hubby’ then,” Bruce said, remaining relentlessly persistent.

Joanna pondered for a few seconds before reluctantly calling out. “Hubby!” she said. 

“That’s more like it!” Bruce said. He was especially satisfied when he heard that. He put his arm around Joanna’s shoulder and kissed her forehead again and again. 

“You have to call me that from now on,” Bruce said. 

Joanna rolled her eyes. “Uh, we haven’t remarried yet,” she said. “So to call you ‘Hubby’, isn’t that a little…” 

“What do you mean?” Bruce said. 

“Well um,” Joanna said. “A little awkward.” 

“Then why didn’t I feel awkward calling you ‘Honey”?” Bruce said. 

Joanna chuckled with a hint of annoyance and was even more speechless. 

“He is thick-skinned, so how could he possibly feel awkward?” Joanna thought. 

This was especially the case in the past. He liked to say some suggestive and shameless words. To him, calling her “Honey” was not awkward at all. 

However, the two of them had not gone through the process of remarriage. 

Now that Liam had guardianship over Bruce, if they wanted to proceed with the remarriage process, they had to obtain 

Liam’s consent. 

Thinking about all these things, Joanna could not help but feel overwhelmed and stressed. 

“Let’s have a good talk with Liam another day,” Joanna said. “Let’s hope he would be reasonable and not go too far.” 

“What do you want to talk to him about?” Bruce asked with a disdainful expression. 

“He’s your guardian now,” Joanna said. “If we want to remarry, we have to get his consent. 

“I’ve made up my mind. As long as he doesn’t make unreasonable demands, I don’t want to engage in a lawsuit with him anymore. I just want to be with you and the children…” 

Before Joanna finished talking, Bruce could not help but sneer. He said, “Our remarriage has nothing to do with him. 

“Why do we need his consent? Who the hell does he think he is?” 

Joanna was at a loss for words. Upon hearing that, she stared blankly at Bruce. 

The domineering tone when he spoke was exactly the same as before. 

Bruce realized that he had given himself away. He quickly changed his expression and pretended to be retarded. He laughed and said, “Don’t worry, Honey. I will definitely marry you. 

“After the baby is born and you recover, we’ll immediately go through the remarriage procedures. From then on, no one can ask us to be separated.” 

When Joanna heard this, she did not know what to say in response. She could only reply casually, “Haha. Okay!” 

Liam had become Bruce’s guardian. 

He would definitely not agree to Bruce remarrying her. 

However, in order not to disappoint Bruce, Joanna did not refute him. 

At Everett Group, when the news that Liam was about to take over as the chairman spread, there was a commotion in the entire office. 

A few directors could not help but gossip. “Hey, have you heard? Mr. Miller won the lawsuit, and Mr. Everett’s custody was given to him.” 

“Are you serious?” 

“Didn’t you read the news? Mr. Miller is about to take over as the chairman of Everett Group.” 

Mr. Nelson’s expression was solemn. “So, does that mean that Mr. Everett truly won’t be able to recover?” 

Mr. Young chuckled and said, “Haha! Mr. Everett’s era is over, and his glory is also in the past. From now on, Mr. Miller will have full authority over Everett Group.” 

“Let’s be sensible and adapt to the changing situations. Let’s stick with Mr. Miller and follow his lead.” 

“Tsk, I still feel a little upset. Mr. Everett is still young. He was perfectly fine. Why did such a thing happen to him?” 

“Yeah. Mr. Everett is only in his thirties. It’s the best age for a man. The prime of life.” 

“Even heroes fall for beauties. A good man like him will eventually fall under the power of women.” 

“Let me tell you, it’s all his ex-wife’s fault. If it weren’t for his wife pestering him, Mr. Everett wouldn’t have gotten into such

Chapter 720 trouble.” 

Mr. Bourn could not help but retort, “How can you say that? If we were to think like you based on the conclusion you just shared, men might as well avoid getting involved with women altogether…” 

The directors and senior executives were discussing animatedly. 

As for the employees, they felt even more uneasy. 

At the secretary’s desk, Mark said anxiously, “Andy, have you heard? Mr. Miller will officially take over the position of chairman next week. What should we do about this? Once he becomes the chairman, will we still have it easy?” 

“Yes,” Andy said. “I’ve heard about it.” 

“What are your plans now?” Mark said. 

Andy looked gloomy. He sighed and said, “Well, I’ve got no plans.” 

“Don’t you know any insider information?” Mark said.
