The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife (Joanna)

Chapter 308 “Mommy, | miss you so much. Why haven't you come to see me for so long?” Lilia asked.

“I'm sorry, I've been very busy lately,” Joanna apologized. She quickly stepped forward to try and pick up Lilia.

Bruce scoffed and muttered sarcastically, “Even if you're busy, you should make time to be with the children.

“How could you be such an irresponsible mother?” Joanna paused for a moment, not wanting to argue with him. She then picked up Lilia in her arms.

The moment she reached out, she accidentally revealed the diamond ring on her finger.

Suddenly, Bruce's gaze fell upon the diamond ring on Joanna's hand.

His lips twitched involuntarily.

Joanna had never liked wearing jewelry, so it was naturally impossible for her to spend money to buy a diamond ring.

Moreover, this diamond ring was a pink diamond in the shape of a heart. It was worth at least a few hundreds of thousands of dollars. The Haynes Group was currently in trouble now, and Joanna would never spend such a large sum of money on a diamond ring.

“What is that you're wearing on your hand, Joanna?” Bruce asked abruptly.

Joanna felt a sinking feeling in her heart upon hearing his question.

She had come in a hurry and forgot to take off the ring on her finger.

“It's... nothing.” Joanna instinctively replied.

Bruce's face paled. “Show it to me.” “Bruce, can you please stop meddling in my affairs?” “Give me your hand!” Bruce demanded, gripping Joanna's wrist and forcefully bringing her hand closer to his eyes.

This diamond ring was a heart-shaped pink diamond. It must be incredibly expensive.

Bruce's eyebrows raised, feeling an inexplicable wave of jealousy washed over him. “Who gave you this?” “What do you mean who gave it to me? Can't | buy a ring for myself?” Joanna snapped, pulling her hand back angrily.

Bruce paused for a moment.

“Did you really buy it yourself?” Joanna replied coldly, “Bruce, my personal affairs are none of your concern.” “Hmph!” Faced with Joanna's indifference, Bruce let out a cold snort and suppressed his anger.

He didn’t need to be so fixated on her.

Since she didn’t love him anymore, he did not have to lower his dignity and cling to her. It would make him look like a fool.

He was too arrogant to continue chasing after someone who clearly didn’t want him.

Joanna didn’t want to engage in further conversation with Bruce. Instead, she lovingly looked at her three children and asked, “Do you miss Mommy, my darlings?” “Of course, we do!” the three children replied in unison.

Joanna smiled affectionately and took out three folded paper stars from her bag. “Mommy brought you some gifts!” Each of the children received one, and they looked at the beautiful paper stars in their hands with curiosity. “Wow, Mommy, what is this?” *These are little stars that Mommy folded by hand. When you miss Mommy, you can take them out and look at them,” Joanna explained.

“When Mommy isn’t with you, let the little stars keep you company” These three little stars were made with special paper, and each had the name of one of the children written on it.

Though they held no monetary value, they were filled with a mother’s love and blessings for her children.

“Thank you, Mommy!” Davian carefully kept the paper star and looked at Joanna with a serious expression. “Mommy, when will you come to see us next time?” Joanna took a breath and gently crouched down. “Mommy will have a business trip next week, so | might not have time to come and see you.

“Wait for the week after next, and Mommy will come to see you again.” Upon hearing this, Irvin pouted and asked, “Mommy, where are you going on your business trip?” 11-34 Chapter 308 “Well, 'm going abroad.” “Oh...

When the three little fellows heard this, they looked unhappy.

Both their parents were very busy.

Their father went on business trips frequently, and now their mother would be away every other day. They hardly had much time together as a family.

They spent their days either at the kindergarten or with the servants.

When Bruce heard this, he felt displeased and said, “It's getting late. We should go back.” “Mommy! We don’t want to go back...” Joanna looked at Bruce coldly and pleaded, “Bruce, can | please cook a meal for the children?” Bruce coldly rejected her. “Joanna, don’t push your luck.” Joanna let out a deep sigh. “Bruce, | am their mother. You cannot be so overbearing and prevent me from building a relationship with our children.” “Daddy, we want to eat Mommy's cooking. It's been so long since we last saw her! “Sob, we miss Mommy so much!” Lilia couldn't hold back her tears.

Seeing his daughter crying in distress, Bruce's heart softened involuntarily. “Do as you wish.” Joanna breathed a sigh of relief. “Let's go! Mommy will make dumpling for you!” “Really?” “Of course!” “Oh, that's great!” Davian and Irvin instantly cheered up.

Joanna carried Lilia in her arms and led Davian and Irvin toward the roadside, preparing to hail a taxi to go home.

Behind them, Bruce silently followed.

“What are you doing?” Joanna glared at Bruce with annoyance.

She didn’t want him to join her time together with the children.

Bruce snorted coldly and teased. “Joanna, are you planning to make my children ride a taxi?” “What's the problem with that?” Joanna asked angrily, her tone defiant.

Her car still hadn't been repaired, and just mentioning it made her feel frustrated.

Bruce pursed his lips. “Forget it! We'll use my car.” With that, Bruce called the driver to bring the nanny van over.

“Get in the car!” Joanna hesitated for a moment but eventually obediently got in.

The nanny van had seven seats, and Joanna and the children sat in the back row.

Bruce sat in the front passenger seat.

Twenty minutes later, the driver arrived at the entrance of Greenwick Residential Complex.

“Mr. Everett, we've arrived at our destination.” “Hmm” Bruce responded coldly.

“We have arrived. Let's go.” The driver get out first and opened the door.

Davian and Irvin happily jumped out of the car. “Wow, this place is much nicer! We finally get to go home with Mommy.” “Yeah! It's been so long since we had Mommy’s homemade dumplings. I've even dreamed about eating Mommy's dumplings a few times.” Joanna smiled and followed suit, getting out of the car. “Today, Mommy will make sure you enjoy a satisfying meal.

*Thank you, Mommy.” Joanna had just called Miranda.

She asked Miranda to prepare the ingredients for the dumplings! After being away from her children for so long, she wanted to cook a meal for them with her own hands. The children loved her homemade dumplings, Chapter 308 and she wanted to make them a special treat while she had the time.

Joanna led the children in front. Bruce also got out of the car and followed.

“What are you doing here, Bruce?” Joanna asked.

“Nothing!” “Then why are you following us?” she questioned.

When Bruce heard this, he raised his eyebrows and said sarcastically, “Joanna, you wouldn't make me wait downstairs, would you?” Joanna said, “Bruce, it's not convenient for you to come to my place. Please wait in the car, or you can go back for now.” “That won't do. What if you abduct my children?” Joanna was infuriated by his remark.

“How about letting Daddy join us for the meal?” Davian suggested.

Joanna took a deep breath and decided not to argue with Bruce. She reluctantly allowed him to follow them into the elevator.

After returning home, the children were overjoyed! “Wow, it feels so cozy here! Mommy, can we stay here and not go back?” Joanna felt a pang in her heart.

She would love for the children to stay.

Unfortunately...

“You two stay here and behave. Mommy will start making dumplings now!” “Okay!” The two little boys ran into the computer room! Miranda and Kelly also took Lilia to the children’s room.

Bruce sat on the sofa with a cold expression, looking like a gloomy figure.

“Miss, let me help you knead the dough!” “No need, I'll be quick!” Suddenly, Bruce shouted toward the kitchen, “Joanna, make a bow! of spaghetti for me!” Joanna was enraged by Bruce.

However, she did not reject his request.

Soon, a delightful aroma wafted from the kitchen.

“Wow, it smells so good! My mouth is watering!” “Mommy, are the dumplings ready?” Joanna replied, “Soon, it's cooking now! “Both of you, go wash your hands quickly!” “Yeah, I'm going to eat three big bowls!” “I want to eat five big bowls!” “You'll burst!” The two children washed their hands and playfully teased each other.

Bruce watched from the side, feeling a tangle of emotions in his heart.

It had been a long time since he had seen the three children so happy.

Wasn't it just a dumpling? Why were they so excited? The Everett family had several chefs. Even if they made something delicious, he had never seen the children this happy before.

Ten minutes later, Joanna walked out with a tray, carrying three bowls of dumplings.

“Wow, it smells so good!” “Be careful. It's hot. Eat slowly!”
