The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife (Joanna) novel Chapter 994

Chapter 994 

When he reached the lawn, Bruce answered the call. “Hello…” 

“Bruce, it’s me.” Aria’s gentle voice came from the other end of the phone. 

“I know. What is it? Speak!” Bruce simply replied. 

Aria choked and was silent for a few seconds. 

Seeing that Aria was silent, Bruce asked again, “Is it still about the mission?” 

Aria also said bluntly, “Yes. Have you settled your private matters? 

“It has been more than a month. I called to ask how long it’ll take for you to come over? 

“Yesterday, Mr. Thompson was already urging us. According to the feedback from the intelligence agency, Melta’s humanoid mutant genes have reached a critical stage of research. 

“If humanoid genes are developed, it’ll be a devastating blow to other countries. Therefore, we have to expose Melta’s scheme as soon as possible.” 

Bruce frowned and said solemnly, “… I know. I’ll arrange it as soon as possible.” 

Aria sighed. “Can you give me a definite time? I have to make some arrangements on my side. 

“The other comrades are all in place. You’re the only one left.” 

“…” When Bruce heard this, he subconsciously turned around to look at the living room. 

Through the glass window, he saw Joanna still busy taking care of Devin and Patricia. 

At this moment, he was conflicted and hesitant. 

If he had a choice, he really did not want to leave home. He did not want to leave Joanna and the children. 

However, he had no other choice now. 

In the face of the country’s mission, he had to move forward bravely. 

“I’ll arrange it as soon as possible. I’ll definitely meet up with you at the end of this month.” 

10:18 

Aria looked at the calendar on her phone. “Alright. Today is November 12th. We can’t delay it any longer.” 

“Okay, got it. That’s all for now. I’m hanging up!” Bruce was about to hang 

“Bruce…” Aria hesitated. 

“What else is there? Speak.” 

Aria tapped her upper lip and said in a low voice, “There’s nothing else. Let’s talk about it when you reach Melta!” 

“Well, that’s it for now, then,” Bruce said and hung up. 

It had been 15 or 16 years since he joined the organization. 

This time, if he could successfully complete the mission, he would definitely leave the organization. 

Back in the living room. 

Joanna looked at Bruce and felt a little sour in her heart. 

“Finished your call?” 

“Yes!” Bruce forced a smile. 

“Who called you? Why are you so mysterious? Why did you have to run out to answer it?” Joanna asked sourly. 

“Can I see who called you?” 

She guessed that the person who called him must be Aria. Otherwise, he would not have gone outside to pick him up. 

Having been through so much together, they should trust and be tolerant of each other. 

However, there was still a thorn in her heart. 

She felt that there was an unspeakable secret between Bruce and Aria. Bruce smiled awkwardly and said dotingly, “What’s wrong? Have you learned to check up on me now?” 

“Who’s checking up on you? I’m just a little curious who called you. I just want to see who you were talking to.” Joanna’s face fell. 

Bruce was stunned and did not give her his phone. “Joanna, why are you so jealous now? 

“I’ve never seen you jealous before. Now, you’re asking questions even 

10:18 

when I make a phone call.” 

Joanna’s face darkened. “Can’t I ask? Or are you hiding something?” 

“You see, there you go again. You told me to trust you, and yet you don’t 

trust me.” 

“It’s not that I don’t trust you.” Joanna retorted unhappily. 

Men and women were indeed different. 

Women would be more restrained and conservative when it came to relationships. Once they had set their minds set on a man, they would never easily have that kind of relationship with another man. 

But men were different. 

It was in men’s nature to hunt and possess. Some men had a very low bottom line. In their hearts, physical infidelity was not a serious problem. Moreover, they could like a few women at the same time and enjoy the satisfaction of having three wives and four concubines. 

This was their nature and could not be changed. 

Of course, some men were good, but it did not mean that they did not have such thoughts. They just knew how to restrain themselves and refuse temptation. 

Seeing that Joanna’s expression was getting worse, Bruce quickly started to coax her. “Look at you again. You’re giving me attitude again. 

“Joanna, am I so promiscuous in your heart?” 

Joanna replied coldly, “I didn’t say that. You said it yourself. 

“You said that we have to be honest with each other. We can’t deceive and hide from each other. I can be 100% honest with you, but can you be 100% honest with me?” 

Joanna was certain that there was a certain relationship between him and Aria. 

It was just that he refused to tell her the truth. 

Although she could not confirm that he loved Aria, she was certain that Aria was a very special existence to him. 

Π 

“…” When Bruce heard this, his heart skipped a beat. 

“Forget it, forget it. I can’t win against you now. 

“It’s just that at the end of this month, I might have to go on a business trip to Melta.”
