Chapter 465


    Bruce had taken the initiative to establish trust funds worth more than 2 billion dors for each of his


    kids. This meant that his kids would be financially secure no matter what happened to the Everett


    Group.


    “Bruce, don’t you think the kids are too young for this?” Joanna asked with a voice filled with concern.


    Bruce pursed his lips and said calmly. “You never know what happens tomorrow. In case something


    happens to me in the future, I want to make sure that both my kids and you enjoy financial security.”


    Joanna’s eyes were welled up with tears.


    Bruce was so considerate that he had thought about everything.


    The kids, still confused about the situation, eagerly asked. “Mommy, what’s it?”


    Joanna pondered for a moment, then leaned down to affectionately pat her son’s head. “This shows


    the immense love your Daddy has for you. You should treat your Daddy well.”


    “Oh?” The three little kids‘ eyes blinked in confusion.


    Irvin, as a clever boy, quickly showered his father with ttery. “Thank you, Daddy. I promise to treat


    you well. I’ll give you delicious food. I’ll buy you anything that you want.”


    Lilia echod, I’ll treat Daddy well too!”


    “Good girl!” Bruce nodded approvingly.


    “Now, let’s make a wish and cut the cake!”


    Before them stood a magnificent five–tiered birthday cake adorned with more than ten candles. The


    little ones gathered around the cake and blew out the candles together.


    Davian sped his hands together, closed his eyes, and earnestly made a wish. “I hope Lilia recovers


    from her illness quickly


    “I hope Daddy and Mommy can remarry soon.”


    “I hope our family will always stay together!” The three little ones made their wishes one by one.


    Joanna patted their heads affectionately. “Wishes won’te true if spoken. You’d better make your


    wish silently.”


    “With a sincere heart, wishes cane true. I want to say my wish out loud because I fear the gods


    might not hear it otherwise. So, I’m going to express my wish loudly.” Irvin spoke with a devout


    expression.


    “Alright, let’s cut the cake!”


    The three little ones each held a knife, trying to make a cut on the cake.


    Since the cake was too big, the kids just made a cut symbolically, and then the servants came to cut


    the cake and distribute the slices.


    “This piece is for Mommy, and this one is for Daddy!”


    “Help yourself. Let’s enjoy the cake together.” Joanna smiled and said to everyone.


    “Thank you!” The doctors and nurses each took a slice of cake.


    The birthday party ended.


    The doctors and nurses left with red envelopes and exquisite gifts.


    Bruce, Joanna, and their two older children, Davian and Irvin, prepared to return home.


    Lilia’s condition had stabilized, and now the care of a nurse was enough for her and there was no need


    for Joanna to stay at the hospital.


    At the Sherane Bay Vi.


    By the time they arrived home, it was already past ten in the evening, and the two little ones had fallen


    asleep in the car.


    The servants carried Davian and Irvin to their respective rooms for a good night’s sleep, while Bruce


    and Joanna made their way to their own bedroom.


    After washing up, Bruce stepped onto the balcony, lighting a cigarette with an air of restlessness.


    Seeing this, Joanna silently approached. “The surgery is scheduled for next week. Take good care of


    yourself during these days, don’t stay upte, and cut down on smoking.”


    “Okay, got it,” Bruce extinguished the cigarette upon hearing her words.


    I’ve told you countless times to quit smoking, but you never truly do,” remarked Joanna.


    “Joanna, I love you!” Bruce’s eyes suddenly grew profound, revealing a touch of mncholy.


    In these past few days, before retiring to bed each night. Bruce would gaze deeply into Joanna’s eyes


    and said with a deep voice, “I love you.”


    Joanna sensed a sense of uneasiness, feeling that something serious was about to unfold.


    Women are known to be strong from the outside but tender in heart.


    A man who haspletely taken over her physically has also won her heart over.


    “Bruce, you’ve been acting strangelytely. Is there something you’re keeping from me?” Joanna


    stared at him with a questioning gaze.


    Bruce shrugged his shoulders. “No, there’s nothing.”


    Joanna didn’t believe him and continued to scrutinize him suspiciously. “Really?”


    Trust me. There’s really nothing”


    “If there’s anything, you must tell me.”

    “Mm. I understand. Let’s go to bed!” Bruce interrupted before she could say more.


    He bent down, lifted her up by holding her back, and gently ced her on the soft mattress of the bed.


    The next day.


    Bruce had just woken up when his phone started ringing.


    The cellphone beeped.


    ncing at the screen, he saw that it was a call from Zachary. Bruce casually answered the call,


    “Hello, why are you calling so early?”


    On the other end of the line, Zachary’s voice came through with anxiety. “Bruce, you mentioned before


    that you would introduce me to some influential officials in Porash. When can you make that happen?”


    Bruce furrowed his brow upon hearing this. “I’ve been busytely! My daughter is having surgery, so it’ll


    have to wait for a while.”


    Just spare some time to help me out. I’m really in a hurry.”


    Bruce replied impatiently, “I really don’t have the time right now! How about this, I’ll make arrangements


    for you. I can have the other shareholders in mypany help introduce you!”


    “Alright, I guess that works.”


    “Okay! Let’s consider it settled. I’ll get everything arranged and give you a call!” Bruce said, ready to


    hang up the call.


    “No, no, no. Don’t hang up so quickly. I haven’t finished talking!”
