Chapter 409


    Joanna did not say anything. There was an unfathomable gentleness in her eyes as she nced at


    him.


    This nce made Bruce even more confused. It had been a long time since she looked at him like


    this.


    “Is it enough? Do you want more?”


    Joanna shook her head slightly. “Enough”


    “Are you hungry? Do you want to eat something?” Bruce’s eyes were filled with tenderness.


    Joanna’s heart trembled. She raised her head and looked into Bruce’s ryes.


    It seemed that this approach was doable!


    From the look in his eyes, she could tell that he was eager to get her affection.


    Since that was the case, why would she resist? She would use this chance to make him love her even


    more!


    “I’m a little hungry!”


    When Bruce heard this, he immediately asked, “Then what do you want to eat? I’ll get my assistant to


    buy it.


    Joanna pondered for a few seconds and said, “…I want to eat cake! My mouth is very bitter. I want to


    eat something sweet.” “Alright, I’ll get my assistant to buy it immediately. What else do you want to eat?


    I’ll get my assistant to buy it too.” Joanna shook her head sadly. “No need. I only want to eat some


    cake.”


    “Okay, I’ll get Kody to buy it.”


    With that, Bruce left the ward.


    Outside the ward.


    Andy, Kody, and more than ten bodyguards perked up and waited for Bruce’s instructions.


    “Kody, go to Sk right now and get a cake.”


    Kody did not hesitate. “Mr. Everett, what vor do you want?”


    “Buy one of each vor. Also, go to Honeymoon Dessert and buy some sweet treats.”


    “Alright, Mr. Everett, Kody replied, hurriedly leaving the hospital to buy the cake and sweet treats.


    Forty minutester!


    Kody and a bodyguard walked into the ward with more than ten cakes of various sizes and more than


    ten kinds of sweet treats in their hands!


    “Mr. Everett, I’ve bought the cake and sweet treats.”


    “Put them down!”


    Bruce unfolded the dining table and ced the cakes and desserts individually without hesitation.


    The table was filled with cakes and desserts of all vors.


    Sk’s was the most high–end cake shop. A small cake would cost at least over 200 dors.


    Of course! There was a reason why it was expensive. Every vor was made to perfection.


    Joanna took a look and frowned. “Why did you buy so many? How will I finish them?”


    Bruce smiled dotingly. “I didn’t know what vor you wanted to eat, so I bought them all for you to try!”


    When Joapna heard that, she could not help but click her tongue. “This will be such a waste!”


    “As long as you want to eat, it’s not a waste.”


    With that, Bruce cut a small piece of strawberry–vored cake and eagerly handed it to Joanna as a


    memory shed across his mind. “Here, want to try this strawberry vor? I remember you used to like


    strawberries!“


    Joanna’s eyes flickered, and she opened her mouth slightly!


    The sweet, sticky, and delicate cream exploded in her mouth, and her initially bitter tongue was filled


    with sweet satisfaction!


    “Is it good?”


    Mm!”


    Bruce cut another small piece of a different vored cake. “Try this mousse cake. This shop has the


    most famous mousse cake.”


    Joanna took another small bite and tasted it slowly.


    “Don’t you want something sweet? This macaroon is quite sweet.”


    “Oh, right. I also got Kody to buy sweet treats and milk. You’re very weak now. You must nourish


    yourself well.”


    Bruce was nagging and trying to please her!


    He had lived a long life, but this was the first time he had been pleasant to others.


    Joanna did not say anything and epted each of his disys of affection.


    In the blink of an eye.


    Joanna had been in the hospital for a week.


    After a thorough examination, the doctor carried out the discharge procedures.


    “Mr. Everett, Ms. Haynes can be discharged!”


    “That’s great. Is there anything else I should be watchful for?”


    The doctor gave a few more cautious instructions. “When you go back, you have to recover well. Also,


    the antidepressant must be stopped.”


    Bruce frowned. “Got it.”


    In the ward.


    She had already packed her things, awaiting to be discharged at any time.


    “Let’s go! Come home with me. Bruce looked at Joanna with a longing gaze.


    “…Yes!” Joanna nodded slightly.


    Bruce was a little excited when she was willing to go home with him. He took a few steps forward and


    picked her up horizontally.


    Joanna’s cheeks burned. “You don’t have to carry me. I can walk by myself.”


    “No, you’ve just recovered. It’ll be worrying if you fall and bump into something.”


    Hearing this. Joanna did not refuse anymore. She let him carry her to the underground parking lot.


    Andy and Kody could not help but click their tongues. “Wow, wow, wow. Mr. Everett is too good to Miss


    Haynes!”


    “That’s right! Miss Haynes must have saved the gxy in her previous life to be so lucky in this life.”


    Andy sighed. “We can’t judge what we see on the surface. Many things are going on behind the scenes


    that we can’t see.”


    “Miss Haynes and Mr. Everett are back together again. What about Mr. Grimm?”


    “Will the Grimm family agree?”


    Andy smiled bitterly. “That’s not something we should worry about. Let’s do our thing!”


    “That’s true.”


    Sherane Bay Vi.


    The servants had already arranged a wee party at home. The entire vi was filled with flowers.


    Davian and Irvin were already waiting on thewn.


    “Wee home, Mommy!”


    “Wee home, Mr. Everett. Wee home, Mrs. Everett.”


    …Joanna frowned.


    The two little guys rushed over. “Mommy, have you recovered?”


    Joanna squatted down gently. “Yes!”


    “Mommy, will you leave again? Are you staying with us?”


    Joanna nced at Bruce and then nodded at the children. “Yes! Mommy will stay and take care of


    you.”


    When the children heard this, they were overjoyed. “Oh, that’s great. We can finally be with Mommy.”


    “Mommy, we love you so much!”


    The little ones surrounded Joanna and chattered happily like little birds.


    At night!


    Bruce walked into Joanna’s room.


    Joanna had already washed up and was lying quietly on the bed.


    “Joann…” Bruce looked at her guiltily.


    He wasn’t sure. Did she agree to sleep with him?


    Joanna looked back and smiled gently. She reached out and hooked her arms around his neck.


    Then, she stretched her neck and offered Bruce a goodnight kiss.


    Bruce’s body stiffened as he looked at Joanna in disbelief.


    This was the first time she had taken the initiative to kiss him.


    “Joann, um… are you okay?”


    Joannaughed. “What in the world could happen?”


    Bruce’s heart was pounding. Facing Joanna, he couldn’t control his impulse.


    Now that she took the initiative to light the fire, he could not restrain himself.


    However, his rationality told him he could not force himself on her.


    “You hate me so much. Why are you….”


    Joannaughed. “I’m fulfilling my contractual obligations!”


    “Didn’t you say that after being your lover for two years, you would return the Haynes Group to me?


    Isn’t that right?”


    Joanna’s beautiful eyes looked at Bruce without moving


    Bruce’s heart turned cold. He was overthinking this.


    Joanna was only gentle to him because she wanted the Haynes Group back.


    Subsequently, Bruce no longer felt any psychological burden.


    He kissed her passionately.


    Then, he asked her to push him onto the bed.


    “Joann. I love you. I truly missed you….”


    “Can you be gentler?”


    It was a long and charming night.


    Perhaps he had restrained himself for too long.


    Bruce was iparably greedy.


    If not for her body being too weak, he could have been even greedier.


    The next day.


    Joanna had slept past ten o’clock before waking up.


    She had just woken up and felt her limbs ache.


    This bastard’s stamina was always so shocking. She didn’t know how much she would have been


    tortured if she hadn’t refusedst night.


    “Where is Bruce?”


    The servant replied respectfully, “Mr. Everett has returned to thepany.”


    “Where are the children?”


    “The kids are in school.”


    Joanna suddenly felt empty.


    “Mrs. Everett, breakfast has been prepared for you.”


    Joanna ale some oatmeal and lost her appetite.


    Her heart was in a mess!


    She didn’t know if it would be right to do this.


    However, when he thought of what Bruce had done to her, she could not forgive him.


    She couldn’t beat him in a head–on fight.


    This was the only way she could do it!


    Gentle knives were not often the most lethal weapon.


    Beep! Beep! Beep!


    “Hey!”


    “Look, are you awake?”


    “Mm…”


    “Meet me for lunch. I’ll be home at about one o’clock.”


    Joanna was stunned.

    “Hey, why aren’t you saying anything?”


    “Oh. I’ll just eat something for lunch. It’ll be too much trouble for you to run back and forth. Let’s eat


    together tonight!”


    “It doesn’t matter. We’re going to have lunch.


    “Alright then!”
