Chapter 381


    The shop assistant took out a fishtail–style wedding gown decorated with crystals. “This is personally


    designed by a famous. Frayn designer. Everything is hand–embroidered. The crystals on it are all


    Swarovski crystals. This gown used more than 20,000 crystals in all.”


    Jaydon Grimm’s eyes were filled with doting love as he said gently, “Joann, try it on!”


    When she saw Jaydon’s gaze that was full of anticipation, Joanna Haynes smiled bashfully. “Alright!”


    Then, she entered the fitting room again with the shop assistant.


    About fifteen minutester, Joanna had changed into another wedding gown and walked out of the


    fitting room.


    Jaydon took a look and was instantly stunned.


    It was said that a woman was at her most beautiful in her whole life when she wore a wedding gown. It


    was indeed so. When Joanna wore the wedding gown with a fishtail design, her figure was curvaceous


    and exquisite, and her entire body seemed to be glowing. She was beautiful and elegant. The wedding


    gown was glittering like gemstones. Under the light, it sparkled brightly.


    As she looked at Jaydon’s dumbfounded expression, Joanna felt even more embarrassed. “Jay, what’s


    wrong?”


    “You’re so beautiful!” Jaydon praised sincerely.


    Joanna lowered her head slightly and did not say anything.


    The shop assistant was full of smiles and served Joanna enthusiastically. “Ms. Haynes, do you want to


    try something else? These are the treasures of our studio.”


    “No need. I’ll take this one!” Joanna did not want to try anymore. Just trying these two pieces alone was


    already tiring enough!


    In her view, wearing a wedding gown was just a formality. She did not specifically demand perfection.


    “Alright!”


    Jaydon lowered his head for a look. “Joann, don’t you think this wedding gown is a size too big?”


    Joanna felt it too. Her shoulder straps were a little loose. Even though it was already the smallest size,


    she was too thin, so the gown was still a little big on her.


    “Can you adjust the shoulder straps?”


    “Of course, we can.”


    Joanna looked at herself in the mirror again. “Then make this size smaller!”


    “Sure. No problem.”


    “How many days will it take? We need it this week, Jaydon asked worriedly.


    “Don’t worry! There will be no dy. It will definitely be modified before Friday.”


    “That’s good.”


    As the wedding date was too close, they could not demand perfection in the details.


    “Then let’s go take wedding photos first! We’ll use them for posters at the wedding ceremony.”


    Joanna had no objection. “Sure!”


    If they wanted theplete set of wedding photos, they would have to select many outdoor venues for


    their photo shoot. There was obviously not enough time when they were so pressed for time.


    Therefore, they could only shoot an interior scene first. This shot would be used as a poster at the


    wedding ceremony. Joanna was wearing the wedding gown while Jaydon changed into a white suit.


    They took a few simple photos. Even so, it was already past eight o’clock in the evening by the time


    they finished taking the photos.


    Joanna was downright exhausted. She stood in her high heels for the entire afternoon.


    Outside the changing room, after changing into her own clothes, Joanna was so tired that she


    copsed on the sofa.


    She did not want to get up again.


    As he looked at Joanna’s exhausted appearance, Jaydon’s heart ached terribly. “Are you very tired?”


    “A little.”


    “Come, take off your shoes.”


    Joanna looked at him with a puzzled expression. “Why?”


    Jaydon walked forward and took off Joanna’s shoes. Then, he gently massaged her feet. “You wore


    high heels today and stood for the entire afternoon. Your feet hurt, right?”


    Joanna blushed at once. “No, no! I’m fine.” As she said that, she wanted to pull her feet away.


    Jaydon held her feet tightly and continued to massage her feet. “Don’t move. Let me give you a


    massage. You’ll feel much


    better.”


    When Joanna heard this, she felt even more embarrassed. “Jay, you’ll spoil me like this.”


    “It’s okay. I’ll pamper you like a little princess in the future.”


    Joanna smiled, revealing the shallow chin dimples on her checks.


    Jaydon really knew how to take care of others. When she was with him, even if there was no love, she


    would still be very contented.


    At the age of 15 or 16, love was sacred and could not tolerate any impurity. However, as one grew


    older, many things could be tolerated.


    Joanna no longer pursued perfection in love like before.


    The two of them left the studio and went for dinner together.


    After dinner, it was already 9:30 pm.


    In the car, Jaydon leaned down and kissed Joanna’s forehead.


    He looked into her two eyes gently. “Joann,e back with me!”


    Joanna’s heart tensed up. “No, I’d better go home!”


    When Jaydon heard this, he simply smiled like a gentleman. “Alright! In any case, I can just wait for a


    few more days.”


    Thereafter, Jaydon drove Joanna back.


    Half an hourter, at Ona ce.


    “Let me send you to the door!”


    Joanna got out of the car. “It’s not necessary. It’s just a few steps. You are also tired from running


    around all day. Quickly go back and rest.”


    “Mm–hmm. You should rest early too.”


    “You too.”


    “I’ll be off then.” Jaydon smiled at Joanna.


    “Mm–hmm. Goodbye.” Joanna waved goodbye to Jaydon.


    After Jaydon left. Joanna dragged her exhausted body home..


    She had just entered the house and had yet to take off her shoes.


    Beep! Beep! Beep!


    The phone rang madly again.


    She picked it up and saw that it was a call from Bruce Everett. In the afternoon, her phone was kept in


    the changing room.


    closet.

    Throughout the entire afternoon, Bruce had already called her dozens of times.


    Joanna hesitated for a moment but did not answer the call.


    Beep! Beep! Beep!


    The phone kept ringing non–stop.


    Joanna was afraid that something might happen to Bruce, so she answered the call. “Hello!”


    On the other end of the line, Bruce choked as he asked, “Joanna, where are you?”


    “What’s wrong?”


    Bruce took a deep breath. He was so angry that his two eyes were bloodshot. For the entire afternoon,


    he had called so many times, but Joanna did not answer. This was really unbearable for him.


    I want to see you.”


    When Joanna heard this, she fell silent for a few seconds. “Bruce, we should not meet again!”


    “Hmph! I’m giving you 20 minutes toe to the hospital and see me.” Bruce’s voice was filled with an


    overbearing tone. Joanna felt suffocated and replied helplessly, “Bruce, can you stop acting like this?


    I’m getting married soon. Please don’t…” Before she could finish, Bruce interrupted her and said


    sullenly, “If you don’te, you have to bear the consequences.”


    With that, he ended the call.


    “Hello? Hello?” Joanna ran her fingers through her hair in frustration. Her expression was indescribably


    unsightly.


    When she saw this, Miranda asked with concern, “Joann, what happened?”


    Joanna took a deep breath. “I’m going out for a while.”


    “It’s already sote. You still want to go out?”


    “Mm–hmm…” Joanna answered vaguely and went out again with her car keys.


    Bruce’s personality was too extreme. If she went against him head–on, he might go crazy again.


    Twenty minutester, Joanna reached the hospital in a hurry.


    “Miss Haynes, you’re here?” Andy was standing guard at the door of the ward.


    “Mm–hmm…” Joanna responded before pushing open the door of the ward and walking in.


    In the ward, Brucey on the bed with a sullen and ominous expression.


    At this moment, his expression was sinister and icy, exuding a terrifying aura.


    Joanna walked to the front of the bed and looked at him without any emotion. “Bruce Everett, I’m here.


    What do you want?”


    Bruce did not say anything. He simply looked at Joanna icily with both eyes.


    Joanna also returned him a frosty re.


    Their eyes locked and they remained silent for a few minutes.


    Five minutester, Joanna finally broke the silence. “Do you have anything to say? If you have nothing


    to say, I’ll go back


    now.”


    Bruce called out to her icily, “Joanna!”


    “Go ahead. I’m listening!” Joanna stopped in her tracks again.


    Bruce lifted the nket and got out of bed sullenly.


    Upon seeing this, Joanna instinctively took two steps back. “If you want to say something, just stand


    there and say it.”


    Bruce was still approaching her step by step.


    Joanna panicked and subconsciously wanted to walk toward the exit.


    Unfortunately, Bruce had already grabbed her wrist and abruptly pulled her into his arms.


    *Argh… Don’te near me.”


    “Joanna, do you have to torment me like this?” Bruce’s eyes turned bloodshot as he pushed her


    viciously onto the hospital bed. Then, he leaned over and pressed her down.


    He pinned her down firmly under his demonic ws.


    “I’ve called you so many times. Why didn’t you answer my calls? Do you know that I’m almost going


    crazy?”


    “Argh! Bruce, stop touching me like this!” Joanna panicked and pushed against his chest desperately.


    Bruce’s expression changed suddenly. A mouthful of dark blood seeped out of his mouth. “Joanna, I’m


    dying.”


    When she saw this, Joanna was a little flustered and didn’t dare to push him hard again.


    “Cough, cough…” Bruce gave a muffled cough, and another gush of bloody foam rushed up his throat.


    Joanna’s eyes darkened as she said in shock, “Bruce, you’re coughing blood again. I’ll summon the


    doctor here!”
