Chapter 1233


    At dinner time, Devin woke up. His eyes and half of his face were swollen. He looked miserable and


    funny.


    "Wow, how did my little brother be a one-eyed man?" Irvin looked at his little brother in surprise.


    Davian hurriedly went forward to check. "Mommy, how could Devin be like this? Why is his face


    so swollen?"


    "Devin, does it hurt?" Lilia looked distressed.


    After Davian, Irvin, and Lilia finished their homework, they were all surprised to see their younger


    brother like this.


    "Don''t touch Devin''s wound. Hurry up and eat."


    "Oh, okay!"


    "Boo-hoo, it hurts..." Devin cried as hey in his mother''s arms. Other than his mother, he didn''t allow


    anyone to touch him.


    Joanna''s heart ached as she hugged her son andforted him gently, "Let me feed you, okay?"


    "Okay." The little guy was very dependent on his mother. Now, he was even more dependent on his


    mother.


    "Honey, let me feed him..."


    Joanna refused to talk to Bruce, and Devin did not allow him to touch himself either. Bruce looked guilty


    and helpless as he sat pitifully at the side.


    For the entire day. Joanna refused to talk to Bruce.


    In the blink of an eye, it was time to sleep.


    After returning to the bedroom, Bruce could no longer hold it. He had already been sulking for the entire


    day.


    "Joanna, can you not be like this?


    "I really didn''t see Devin in front of the car. If you''re unhappy, you can tell me. Can you not be so


    silent?" After saying that, Bruce couldn''t help but put his hand on Joanna''s shoulder.


    In the past, he had never been a good-tempered man like this.


    Now that he was so humble andpromising, it was already extremely difficult for him to control his


    temper.


    "Let go!"


    "Joann, didn''t we agree? We won''t quarrel anymore in the future and won''t get into conflicts. What


    happened today was my fault. I really didn''t notice that Devin was there. I won''t do it again!"


    Joanna frowned and did not want to talk to him.


    He had hurt Devin, and although she was angry, the reason wasn''t enough for her to ignore him.


    What really infuriated her the most was that he and Aria had been entangled like this for so long. It was


    really hard to exin their rtionship! Aria sometimes was his ex, sometimes his colleague,


    sometimes his friend, and sometimes his confidant.


    Joanna had really had enough.


    "Joann, what exactly should I do to make you stop ignoring me?"


    "Don''t touch me. Uh, let go!"


    Bruce frowned. "Are you angry at Aria?"


    "Why should I be angry at her?"


    "Joann, listen to me. Aria is going on a very dangerous mission. As long as she goes, she will definitely


    die.


    "I just didn''t want to see her die for nothing, so I stopped her. I didn''t dare to tell you that before


    because I was afraid that you would be worried."


    When Joanna heard this, she became even angrier. "What do I have to worry about?


    "She''s an adult, not a three-year-old child. She has her own ideas about what she wants to do. You''re


    not her father. Do you have to be so concerned about her?

    "If she insists on doing it even though she knows it''s very dangerous, it''s because she''s irresponsible to


    herself, and others have no obligation to be responsible for her life."


    Joanna finally couldn''t help but explode.


    She was a woman. Of course, she understood women''s thoughts better.


    Aria did this because she wanted to take root in Bruce''s heart.


    Bruce grabbed Joanna''s shoulder and tried to exin, "Joann, if I don''t know her, I definitely won''t care


    about her. But I''m her superior now. I know that she''s going to die. How can I be indifferent?


    "Besides, she''s been helping me. I can''t watch her die. If Jaydon was going to do something dangerous


    and you knew that he would die, would you stop him?"


    When Joanna heard this, she could not help but sneer. "Please don''tpare Jay to Aria.


    "Jay wouldn''t be so ignorant, nor would he cause trouble and burden to others. If what Aria wanted to


    do was really so dangerous, why did she choose to do it and tell you?"


    "Joann, I''m her superior. Of course, she has to report to me..."


    Joanna sneered again, "Hehe, you don''t understand women at all!


    "Since she told you, she wanted you to stop her."


    Bruce was stunned when he heard that. He was a little flustered and exasperated. "I really don''t know


    you women well enough. Can you not let your imagination run wild? Can you just say what you have in


    mind?


    "If you don''t say anything, others will have to guess. It will make everyone tired!"


    "I feel tired too. Please get out now. I want to calm down." The anger in Joanna''s heart burned even


    more.


    "Joann, haven''t we agreed not to have another cold war between us? We''ve been through so much.


    Don''t you even have this bit of tolerance for me?


    "I''ve already exined to you that it''s impossible for me to have anything to do with Aria. Why are you


    still so suspicious of me? Don''t you know that I feel terrible that you don''t trust me?"


    "You''re making me feel bad too."


    After Joanna said that, she left the room and went to the guest room.


    "Joann, Joann..."


    Because Joanna was pregnant, Bruce did not want to anger her too much, so he could only let her


    calm down.


    The next day, when Joanna had just gotten up in the morning and was about to go downstairs to see


    her kids, she saw Aria standing in the living room.


    Seeing that Joanna hade downstairs, Aria greeted her, "Mrs. Everett!


    "I''m really sorry about yesterday. I want to exin to you. Between Bruce and me..."


    Joanna walked down the stairs coldly. "You don''t have to apologize to me or exin anything to me.


    You don''t have to tell me what happened between the two of you either."
