Chapter 731
“If you don’t want me to pick her up, I won’t go!”
Joanna retorted, “You should go and pick her up! Otherwise, you’ll say that I’m getting angry for nothing
again.”
“Honey, we’ve been through so much. We’ve already had four children. Are you still afraid that I’ll have
anything to do with
her?”
Bruce leaned against her pillow as he spoke and buried his head in her neck. “Honey, we are really just
ordinary friends. I am going to pick her up purely because we were alumni.”
“Since she is an ordinary friend of yours, why can’t you get your assistant to pick her up?”
“Joann. She’s now a world-renowned biology professor. She came to Greyport for an academic
exchange!
“Next year, we’re going to build a new pharmaceutical factory in Escostan. We will need her to be a
consultant, so I decide to pick her up personally.
“Besides, she’s 30 years old. She might already be married.”

Joanna listened and did not say anything else!
If she said too much, it would make her sound jealous and not magnanimous enough.
No one could stop him if a man thought of cheating on his wife.
If he wanted to like someone else and if he really wanted to betray her, she would not be able to control
him.
Loyalty depended on self-awareness.
Anyway, she never had high expectations for Bruce. Even if he really liked someone else, she would
leave him forever!
“Alfight, you don’t have to exin. Anyway, you’re not a child. Many things depend on self-awareness.
“I only have one thing to say to you. You must tell me if you change your mind one day and want to
date someone else.” As Joanna spoke, her eyes could not help but turn red.
“Joann, you’re imagining things again! Why do you refuse to trust me?
“I’ve said it before. I’ll only love you in this life. I’ll keep my promise. Perhaps I was wrong in the past,
but I won’t go back on my word.”
Indeed, he was a man of principle.
Once self-disciplined, he would be even more ruthless than a wolf.
Unfortunately…
Joanna no longer trusted him.
She still felt insecure even after Bruce said that.
There were too many temptations around a man like him. All kinds of outstanding women would
constantly throw themselves at him.
Take the cat, for example. Even if it didn’t want to steal fish to eat, it couldn’t resist all kinds of delicious
canned fish. They were always tempting him to eat them.
There was probably no one who could resist temptations.
Therefore, the period when Bruce’s brain was damaged was the time when she felt most at ease.
“Alright, stop talking. I’ll believe in you for now!”
Bruce patted her head and said dotingly, “Joann, don’t let your imagination run wild. Do you hear me?
“Okay. I’ll have to leave now. Be good, and don’t let your imagination run wild.
“I’ll return to the hospital as soon as I’ve settled her in. Of course, you can call any time to check on
me.”
The more Bruce exined carefully, the more ufortable Joanna felt.
Why did he care so much about exining if there was nothing between them?
“You don’t have to exin so much. I didn’t say anything!”
Bruce was speechless.
“Good girl. I’ll be back soon!” Bruce looked at the time. It was already 1:00 p.m.
Bruce still had to make a trip to the office. He really could not dy any more time.
Bruce left.
Joanna could not help but frown. She felt ufortable, and something was disturbing her mind.
There must be a story between him and that female friend.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t be so nervous.
Perhaps this female ssmate was his first woman.
In any case, he was no longer a virgin when they were married. She had given him her first time, and it
was obvious that it was not his first time.
Moreover, he was pretty experienced. Before her, he seemed to have countless actual experiences.
However, those were all before they married, and she did not want to know about it. The past was all in
the past. But from now on, it depended on his performance.
Miranda noticed Joanna was worried and subconsciouslyforted her. “Joann, don’t think too much.
You’ve just given birth. It’s better to maintain a joyous mood.”
“Miranda, I am not thinking too much about it!”
“Joann, you and Mr. Everett already have four children. He will still care about the children even if he
doesn’t care about you. It’s not so easy for other women to rece you.” Miranda tried her best to
When Joanna heard this, she felt worse.
She believed that Bruce loved her and the children.
He would also treat her and the children well for the rest of his life.
But…
That would not affect him from having something to do with other women.
Didn’t men like to keep many women since ancient times? They would keep mistresses as long as their
wives knew nothing about it or did nothing. That was how men were.
They would not mind having more than one woman in their life at the same time.
Some men looked ordinary, had no money, and had no ability, but they still wanted to enjoy the
pleasure bright by women other than their wives. Bruce was rich, handsome, and bold. He could
always choose to be a yboy.
“Joann, what wille wille. It’s useless to worry now. I think Mr. Everett is a principled person.
Other than you and… Miss Roxanne, there hasn’t been any scandal of him with others all these
years!”
“Hmph, Miranda, you don’t know him well!” Joanna rolled her eyes coldly.
Bruce and Jaydon were the exact opposite.
Jaydon had never stopped having scandals around him, but there might only be a few people who
really had a rtionship with him. Although Bruce had no scandals about him, it did not mean he had
never had any woman. It was also possible he had done an excellent job of keeping it a secret.
Of course!
That was just Joanna’s guess and imagination. After all, she had never trusted Bruce.
However, in reality, Bruce was extremely busy every day and did not have the time to spend on
women.
Upon hearing Joanna’s words, Miranda did not say anything else.
She could onlyfort her.
It was four o’clock in the afternoon.
Bruce drove to the airport.
He looked at the time. The ne wouldnd in half an hour.
The two had not seen each other for more than ten years, but Bruce had seen news of Aria in the
media reports.
After all, she was the world’s most famous and youngest biology professor.
Back then, Bruce’s family had encountered misfortune, and Bruce had no choice but to give up on his
study. He had asked Aria to apany him when he returned to the country.
However, Aria refused.
After Bruce returned to the country, Aria devoted all her time to her studies. Now, she had fulfilled her
ambitions and ideals.
“Mr. Everett, the flight from Antlen has arrived.”
“Okay!”
Bruce wore sunsses and a mask. He was waiting for Aria at the entrance of the VIP passageway
with his bodyguards.
It was ten minutes past five.
Tourists walked out of the passageway one after another.
Bruce’s heart pounded wildly.

Finally, a familiar and petite figure appeared at the passageway’s entrance. She was wearing a white
cashmere dress with a camel-colored cashmere coat.
Her facial features were exquisite, and there were no traces of cosmetics. She was wearing round-
framed sses on her high and delicate nose bridge.
Overall, she looked elegant and intellectual, exuding a strong schrly aura.

Although they had not seen each other for more than ten years, they still recognized each other at a
nce.
“Bruce!” Aria pushed the luggage cart and waved at him with a smile.
Bruce subconsciously took two steps forward. “Aria, long time no see!”
Aria quickly walked out of the passageway and looked at Bruce gently. “Long time no see!”
Bruce also smiled. “You’re still the same. You haven’t changed at all. You’re still so beautiful.”
“You too! You haven’t changed much since school.” The two of them exchanged pleasantries and
shook hands implicitly and politely.
Behind Aria was a young man in his twenties. “This is my assistant, Leo!
“This is Mr. Bruce.”
“Hello!”
“Hello.” Bruce shook hands with Leo.
“Let’s go!”
“Okay!”
Bruce turned around, and Aria followed behind him. The two of them didn’t talk much and walked
toward the parking lot.
“Please get into the car!” Bruce personally opened the car door for Aria.
“Thank you.” Aria and Leo got into the car one after another.
The bodyguards ced their luggage in the trunk.
“Bruce, have you booked a ce for me to stay?”
