The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife (Joanna)

Chapter 458 “Enough, stop talking. | don’t want to hear it anymore, and | don’t have the mood to think about these things.” Joanna's eyes dimmed completely.

Because of the contract, she had to stay by his side.

But deep in her heart, she still couldn't accept Bruce. Or perhaps, she couldn't truly accept any man, including Jaydon Her heart had been sealed off, and she no longer held any hope for love.

Bruce choked up, his eyes filled with endless disappointment.

He had been too impatient.

But then he rationalized it to himself. There was still more than a year left on the contract, no need to rush.

“Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. | was just joking with you, no need to be so nervous.” Bruce concealed the disappointment in his eyes and gently patted Joanna's shoulder.

Joanna's eyes sank, and she changed the topic. “Lilia is waking up soon. I'll go prepare something for her to eat.” After speaking, Joanna walked out somewhat uneasily.

At this moment, she really needed to calm down.

At night, in Sherane Bay Villa.

Lilia had already undergone the second round of chemotherapy and was recovering fairly well. Since Joanna needed to go back and get some personal belongings, they returned to Sherane Bay Villa...

Naturally. Bruce followed along.

Rarely having private space, Bruce certainly wouldn't let it go and persistently badged her.

After it was all over, seeing that Bruce had fallen asleep, Joanna gently lifted the blanket and opened the bedside table. She took out a small pill bottle from inside.

Every time they slept with others, no matter how tired she was, she never forgot to take birth control pills.

Joanna poured out a pill and was about to take it when Bruce suddenly rolled over and woke up.

“What are you taking? Seeing Joanna secretly taking the pill, he thought she was taking antidepressants again.

“It's nothing, just go back to sleep!” Bruce instantly lost his drowsiness, sat up in one go, and said, “Bring it here and let me see. Didn't | already tell you? Don’t take antidepressants anymore.

“Those pills can really mess up your mental state if you take them too often.” “It's not an antidepressant.” Joanna spoke and directly swallowed the pill.

Seeing this, Bruce frowned. “Then what kind of pill are you taking?” Impatiently, Joanna looked at Bruce and said, “What's the matter again? “Let me see it.” Joanna held the pill bottle and instinctively moved back. Unfortunately, Bruce snatched the pill bottle away.

“Birth control pill?” As he read the name on the medication, Bruce's eyebrows furrowed, his face turning dark and unpleasant. “Why are you taking this?” Joanna took a deep breath and coldly looked at Bruce. “For contraception, of course!” This damur Bruce never wanted to wear a condom.

If she didn’t take birth control pills, she would end up pregnant by him again in no time.

Bruce stared at Joanna with a grim expression and said, “You're not allowed to take birth control pills anymore.

“If 1 find out you're taking them again, you will know the consequences.” “Bruce, I'm just your contract lover now, and | need to protect my body.” “What? Are you afraid of getting pregnant?” Hearing this, Joanna rolled her eyes in resentment.

Of course she was afraid.

Chapter 458 Last year, she had already had an abortion for him. Now she had to be extra careful and not let that happen again, So, every time after they made love, she would secretly take birth control pills.

“Give it to me!” Joanna tried to snatch the pill bottle back.

Bruce's face darkened, and he ordered, “Joanna, 1 want you to have another child for me!” “Are you crazy? Let me tell you, it's absolutely impossible.” Joanna couldn't bear it anymore.

“You really don’t know what's good for you. Do you know how many women want to have “Then go find them to have your children! Since you can afford it, you can have as many as you want. After speaking. Joanna sneered and added indifferently, “Il won't have any more children, especially not with you.” my children?” Bruce was infuriated, gasping for breath, he said with gritted teeth, “We already have three children. What's the harm in having one more?” “That's right, you said it yourself. We already have three children, which is more than enough.

“Anyway, | won't have another child for you. Get over it.” “Joanna, you're despicable!” Bruce seethed with anger and, directly pressing her down, and started another round of frenzied invasion.

Then, he launched a new round of crazy invasion.

The more she feared getting pregnant, the more he insisted on impregnating her.

When she gave birth to another child for him, he wondered how she could run. So thinking, he tried harder, hoping ideally to have twins or triplets....

The next day. Joanna's whole body felt weak, and her limbs were sore to the extreme. She had originally planned to wake up at seven but ended up sleeping until ten—thirty before reluctantly getting up.

“Oh no, it's already ten-thirty. | need to hurry to the hospital.” Joanna dragged her exhausted and weak body, hastily washed up, and then drove to the hospital.

On the way, she suddenly remembered that she had promised to buy Portuguese egg tarts for Lilia. There was no choice but to drive to Skyluxe Shopping Center again.

The things sold here, whether edible or usable, were all top of the line.

Of course, the prices were outrageously high.

After buying the egg tarts, Joanna hurriedly made her way to the underground parking garage.

Little did she know, as soon as she reached the underground parking garage, someone suddenly called out, “Ms. Haynes!” Joanna was momentarily startled and instinctively turned her head for a glance.

Next to her car, there was a Ferrari, and standing beside it was a man in his thirties, wearing a well-fitted white suit.

He was quite tall, at least 6 feet.

His facial features were deep and three—dimensional, with slightly blue-tinted pupils, resembling light-colored contact lenses. He appeared to be of mixed Chinese—European heritage. His hair was neatly groomed, and he held a cigar in his mouth, with a mischievous smile on his face.

“You are...” Joanna felt a sense of familiarity but couldn't recall his name.

Marlowe put on a gentlemanly demeanor, raised his eyebrows slightly, and smiled, “You don’t recognize me? We have met before.” Joanna looked at Marlowe's trademark smile and suddenly remembered.

He was Marlowe, the son of the president of Yanice Group. They had indeed met before. Her grandfather had taken her to visit the Yanice family.

But it had been more than ten years since they last saw each other, and her memory of him had completely faded. “Oh, you are President Yanice, the young executive of Yanice Group.” “It's me! Great wits have short memories. | thought Ms. Haynes had forgotten about me,” Marlowe said with a smile.

“How could that be? It's just that it's been so long since we last met, and | couldn't recognize you all of a sudden.” “It's really a surprise to meet you here today, Ms. Haynes. What did you buy?” Marlowe, as if he knew her well, struck up at conversation with gusto.

“Oh, | bought some egg tarts for my daughter,” Joanna casually replied.

“Oh, you got a child, Ms. Haynes? And yet your figure is still so well-maintained!” Chapter 459
