Chapter 997


    “Hurry up and do your homework. Don’t ask for a beating here.” Bruce’s face tensed up.


    “Okay…” Davian and Irvin pouted in disappointment.


    Bruce had not yed with them for a long time.


    Previously, not only would Bruce apany them to ride horses and shoot, but he would also secretly


    bring them to y games.


    During this period of time, Bruce had always been very frustrated and impatient.


    Seeing the disappointment on the children’s faces, Joanna could not stand it anymore. “They’re on


    vacation tomorrow. It’s good to rx today.


    “Since you have nothing to do now, go y with the children!”

    “Bruce’s face sank, but he was still not interested.


    His heart was in a mess. He really did not have the mood to y with the children.


    Lilia also came over in a wheelchair and said sweetly, “I want to go horse-riding too.


    “Can you bring me to y?”


    When Bruce heard this, his handsome face instantly melted. “Lilia, do you want to go too?”


    “Yes.” Lilia nodded heavily.


    Bruce’s expression changed in a second and he instantly listened to Lilia. “Alright, since Lilia wants to


    go, then I’ll bring you.”


    “Oh, that’s great.”


    “Hurry up and change your clothes.”


    “Okay,


    When Davian and Irvin heard this, they looked at Lilia enviously. “Tsk, tsk, tsk. Lilia is still the best.”


    “Bruce always does whatever Lilia wants. But when ites to us, he’ll beat us up.”


    Irvin sighed like a little adult. “Sigh, it’s all because our family favors the girls and not the boys! We


    can’tpare, we can’t!”


    10:33


    “Bruce has three sons and only one daughter. Of course, he’ll dote on his daughter!”


    Hearing the two bratsining, Bruce threw them a re. “You two brats, what nonsense are you


    talking about? I think you’re too


    thick-skinned, right?”


    “We’ll go change right now,” the two little guys said and ran away.


    Bruce’s eyes flickered. He really wanted to reward each of them with a headshot.


    As the old saying went, father and son were enemies in their previous lives.


    That was not a big deal.


    These two brats were too mischievous. He probably had too many past life enemies to have three sons


    in this life.


    They were still alright now.


    When they grew up, who knew how they would cause trouble for him. At that time, he did not know how


    he would clean up their mess!


    “Joanna, can youe too?”


    Joanna frowned. “I’m not going. I have to apany Hayley and Patricia.


    “Devin isn’tpletely asleep yet. He’ll wake up


    Take the children with you!”


    Bruce sighed. “…Alright then!”


    the moment I move.


    “Let’s go. We’re going horse-riding.”


    Lilia was still wearing an orthotic brace.


    Hence, she could only ride the same horse as Bruce.


    Davian and Irvin had nowpletely learned how to ride a horse. There was no need for Bruce to


    worry anymore. He could let them ride without


    worry.


    After Bruce and the children left.


    “Sigh…” Joanna sighed heavily.


    Now, she was also very conflicted and at a loss. She felt that something was wrong, but she could not


    tell what was wrong.


    She had no choice but to take it one step at a time.


    Devin slept soundly in her arms. His chubby little face was extremely


    10:350


    adorable. However, there was a bruise on his head, and tears were still dripping from his thick


    eyshes.


    Joanna lowered her head and kissed his little face.


    “Mrs. Everett, Devin is asleep. Let’s send him back to his room!”


    “That’s right! It’s too tiring for you to hug him like this.”


    “It’s fine.” Joanna smiled gently.


    She still enjoyed being a mother and taking care of her children.


    Previously, there were always such things happening around her. She did not have much time to


    apany her child so intimately.


    Patricia also walked over and said in a childish voice, “Hug…”


    “Alright!” Joanna carried Devin in one hand and Patricia in the other.


    Patricia was also pitiful.


    Jaydon was now in the detention center, and Carmel had not visited Patricia even once.


    Ever since Patricia was born, she basically stayed with the servants. It was only during festivals that


    Jaydon would stay with her for a few days.


    Joanna suddenly thought of Grace. “Right, I remember now. Grace should be discharged soon…”


    As she spoke, Joanna immediately called Darcy.


    “Ring, ring, ring.”


    Darcy quickly picked up the call. “Hello, Mrs. Everett…”.


    “Darcy, how’s Grace? Is she feeling better?”.


    Darcy said in a low voice, “Yes, she has recovered.


    “The doctor said that she can be discharged tomorrow.”


    When Joanna heard this, she still said with concern, “Oh, don’t be in a hurry. Tell her to stay in the


    hospital for a few more days and be discharged when she has fully recovered.”


    “Alright, I understand.”


    6:30 P.M.


    Bruce and the children were back.


    “Go wash your hands and get ready for dinner!” Joanna put on an apron. and personally cooked


    dumplings.


    10:35


    When Davian and Irvin saw this, they were pleasantly surprised. “Wow, we’re having dumplings today.”


    “Yes! It’s been a long time since I’ve made dumplings for you. I made them since I’m free today.”


    “That’s great. We love you. You’re the best mommy in the world.” The three little guys made heart

    gestures in unison.


    Joanna untied the apron around her waist and said with a gentle smile, “I love you too. You’re all the


    most obedient children in the world.


    “Hurry up and eat!”


    “Yes, yes.” The two little guys were already sitting at the dining table impatiently.


    The dinner was quite sumptuous.


    The main courses were asparagus steak, red wine foie gras, and salmon. The children’s favorite dish


    was still the dumplings made by their mother.


    Through repeated practice, Joanna had perfected the art of making dumplings. Even the chef of the


    hotel could not make it taste like that.


    Bruce nced at the dining table and said enviously, “You’re so concerned about our sons’ well-being


    and even improved their meals. But have you ever thought about improving your husband’s meals? I’m


    now the least important person in this family.”


    When Joanna heard this, she could not help butugh. “How can I miss you? I also made spaghetti for


    you.”


    When Bruce heard this, his expression softened. “That’s more like it.”


    “Here, this is for you.” Joanna turned around and went back into the kitchen.


    Her hair was casually tied into a ponytail and she was wearing loose pajamas. She looked like a good


    wife and mother.


    This warm feeling of home healed the loneliness in Bruce’s heart.


    Three minutester, Joanna handed a bowl of fragrant spaghetti to Bruce.


    Seeing this, Bruce’s face was filled with a blissful smile. “Thank you, Joanna.”


    “Hurry up and eat it while it’s still hot!” Joanna also sat down.


    The two little guys could not wait to start eating. “Yes, it’s delicious!”


    10:36


    “Patricia, do you want to eat dumplings?”


    The little girl had never eaten such food before and nodded eagerly.


    Joanna smiled and scooped a few for Patricia. Then, she patiently fed her.
