Chapter 412 Chapter 412 “It's noon. Let's go have lunch!* “Alright!” Bruce turned off the computer and left the office with Joanna.
“What do you want to eat?” “Anything is fine!* Bruce thought for a few seconds. “Then let's have a simple meal at a nearby restaurant!” Joanna smiled. “Anything is fine.” There were also a few high-end restaurants near the company. Bruce took her to a Frayn restaurant she often went to During lunch.
Bruce looked up at her from time to time. Joanna ate her food gently and flipped her hair from time to time. “What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?” Bruce put a small piece of steak into his mouth. There was a strange light in his eyes. “I still like the way you look when you have long hair. Let your hair grow.....
In the past, Joanna's long hair reached her waist. It was black and soft. She looked pure and beautiful, like a girl straight out of a comic.
Her hair had never grown to that length again. As soon as the ends exceeded her shoulders, they would be trimmed to their original length. Although still beautiful, she was no longer as flawless as she used to be.
Joanna put down the knife and fork in his hand. “Don’t | look good like this?” Bruce smiled awkwardly and said dotingly. “Well, | prefer the older style!” Joanna listened and looked at him thoughtfully. “If | never look like I did before, will you still like me?” ...Of course, | willl No matter what you look like, | will like it.” “What if | become ugly one day?” “I told you, no matter what you look like, | will appreciate it.” “Hehe... Joanna smiled and didn’t say anything else.
“What are you laughing at?” Joanna used a knife and fork to cut the food on her plate but had no appetite. “People change! Many things can't return to their past states, nor can they look their original appearance.” Bruce paused for a few seconds and put down the knife and fork in his hand. “Joann, as long as we want to, everything can return to how it was before.” Joanna subconsciously retracted her hand. “Are you done eating?” “Alright, let's go!” Bruce immediately stood up and called the waiter to pay the bill.
The two of them reached the parking lot.
Joanna suddenly thought of something. “| won't be going to the office with you. | want to go shopping” When Bruce heard this, he raised her eyebrows slightly. “Go shopping?” From his memory, Joanna rarely went shopping.
Joanna laughed. “That's right! We're going to Escostan for a business trip. | want to buy a few clothes.” Bruce replied without hesitation, “Then I'll get Kody and the others to accompany you.” “I didn’t bring my credit card. Did you bring yours?” “Mm...” After that! Bruce gave his black card to Joanna and asked Kody and four bodyguards to accompany Joanna on her shopping spree.
“Buy whatever you want.” Joanna took the card and looked at him with a faint smile. “If 1 overspend, you be angry, right?” When Bruce heard this, he couldn't help but laugh. “Hehe, no way! Buy whatever you want!” “Then I'm leaving!” Joanna took Bruce's card and got into another car.
Chapter 412 Kody drove Joanna to Greyport’s most upscale shopping mall Joanna strolled ahead with four bodyguards following behind her.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtJoanna entered the Hermes shop and chose a few sets of clothes, shoes, and bags.
Then, she went to another high-end luxury store and bought clothes and shoes for the children.
Joanna had spent more than a million dollars in just over two hours.
In the past, she didn't like to use Bruce's money. Even when they divorced, she didn’t ask for alimony.
But now, she was suddenly over it! Why not? If she didn’t use it, another woman would.
After shopping, Joanna entered a salon.
Tony the hairstylist, greeted her enthusiastically. “Hello, what kind of hairstyle do you want to do?” Joanna flipped through a magazine and pointed at one of the hairstyles. “Let's cut it like this!” Tony, the hairstylist, took a look. “Is it this style?” “Yes!” “I think you should choose something else. This hairstyle doesn’t suit the shape of your face...” “I like this hairstyle. Just cut it this way.” “Okay.” Joanna chose the most expensive stylist and quickly cut her hair.
It was similar to the photo she picked. It was like a bob, and the end of the longest hair reached her car. It looked less delicate and bold.
She didn’t like how Bruce liked her other hairstyle, nor did she want to cater to it.
After cutting her hair, she returned to Sherane Bay Villa. It was already past six in the evening.
Bruce had already gotten off work and returned home. “I'm back!” “Okay!” Joanna changed her shoes, and the bodyguards behind her carried the bags into the house.
“Wow, why did you buy so many things?” Bruce said. When he looked up, he realized that Joanna had cut her hair.
Moreover, the cut was short, almost as long as his hair.
Immediately, Bruce frowned and felt a chill in his heart.
In the afternoon, he had just said he wanted her to have long hair, and she cut it.
It was evident that she was silently opposing him.
Joanna deliberately looked nonchalant. “Yes! | bought a few sets of clothes. | also bought a few sets of clothes for the children.” Bruce frowned slightly. “Why did you cut your hair?” Joanna pretended to be stunned. “What's wrong?” ...Nothing!” Bruce sucked in a breath of cold air, and a hint of displeasure appeared on his face.
“Didn’t you say you would like me no matter how | looked?” After Joanna finished speaking, she deliberately spun around in front of him. “What's wrong? Don't | look good?” Bruce smiled. “Yes!” Joanna chuckled and ignored him. “Baby, Mommy bought you new clothes. Come over and try them on” Davian and Irvin heard the shouts and ran out of the bedroom. “Wow, so beautiful!” “Mommy, why is your hair cut so short?” Joanna said casually as she put the children’s clothes on. “It's easy to take care of short hair!” At night! Bruce's heart burned with anger, and he was not in the mood to do anything else.
“I'm going to Venturas tomorrow!” “Okay!” Bruce replied and turned around to sleep.
The next day! Joanna woke up early in the morning. After washing up, she took Tatiana and a few bodyguards to Venturas.
At Marhall Hospital.
When Orvin saw Joanna, he hurriedly approached to greet her. “Ms. Haynes, you're here!” “How's Jay?” Orvin frowned. “Mr. Grimm is still the same.” “ri go in and see him!” Joanna hurriedly pushed open the ward door as she spoke and walked in.
In the ward! Jaydon was still lying quietly on the hospital bed with various pieces of equipment inserted into his body.
“Jay, I'm here to see you!” Joanna walked to the bed and gently held Jaydon’s hand.
“You've been asleep for so long. Are you not going to wake up?” Jaydon didn’t react at all. If not for the various instruments attached to him, he would have looked like he was sleeping. soundly.
Joanna was sorrowful. She stayed by Jaydon’s bed and rambled on.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAfter a while, Grace pushed open the door and walked in.
As soon as she entered and saw Joanna, she immediately cursed, “You bitch, you still have the nerve to come and see my brother. Get lost. You're not allowed to see my brother.” “Ms. Grace, please calm down!” Grace wasted no time and pushed Joanna, “I can’t calm down. My brother is still lying here. In the blink of an eye, you threw yourself into another man’s arms. Do you have any decency?” Joanna's eyes darkened, but she did not refute.
The affair between her and Bruce had already spread like wildfire. The media took turns to broadcast the news, and the Grimm family all knew about it.
“You have nothing to say, do you? My brother is lying here. How can you even face him?” When the bodyguards heard her voice, they hurriedly came in to stop her. “Ms. Grace, please don’t touch me here!” “Don’t move!” Joanna took a deep breath and looked guiltily at Grace, “Grace, | know I've let Jay down. You can hit me and scold me if you want!* “One day, | will pay for my wrongdoings. I will return everything | owe him.” Grace didn’t care, “Hmph, get lost. Don’t come here again, or I'll beat you up.” “Miss Haynes, let's go now!” Joanna turned around and looked at Jaydon. “Jay, I'll go now. | might not have time to visit you next week......." “Hurry up and get lost. Stop talking so much nonsense!” Joanna took another deep look at Jaydon before turning around and leaving the ward.
From now on, Jaydon would only be one man in her heart.
She and Bruce could never have any real feelings for each other. It would be impossible.
After seeing Jaydon, Joanna walked out of the hospital in a daze.
The weather outside was a little hot, and she felt dizzy under the sun.
Joanna sat by the flower bed, feeling uneasy and illusory.
The bodyguard saw her and hurriedly went to persuade her. “Miss Haynes, let's hurry back to Greyport! It's too late to go back.
Mr. Everett will be worried!” “I want to sit and bask in the sun for a bit...” Beep! Beep! The phone in Joanna's pocket rang.
She looked at it and saw that it was Bruce calling.
“Hey!” Bruce's cold voice came from the other end of the phone. “You're not back yet?” Joanna pondered for a few seconds. “I'm about to head back.” “Where are you now? How long will it take for you to return?” “I'm going to the docks now. I'll be back in about an hour or so!” Bruce thought for a moment. “Do you want me to pick you up?” “There’s no need. I'll go straight back.” “Okay, then! Be careful.” “Got it.” She hung up! Joanna sighed deeply again. She turned around and looked in the direction of the hospital. She silently said goodbye to Jaydon in her heart.
“Let's go!” Joanna got into the car and hurried to the dock with the bodyguards.
In the car.
Joanna was still worried, so she called Cora.
“Hello, Miss Haynes.” “Cora, how are things at Greene Town?” Cora replied. “Everything's fine.” “I'll leave that to you for the time being. | might not have time to come over for a while. Call me if you need anything” “Don’t worry, Miss Haynes!” Send Gift Comment
