Capítulo 665


    L’s heart was stirred again, and she looked at Evan with some anxiety. “Evan, are you being


    truthful? You’re not deceiving me, right?” she asked.


    Evan quickly embraced her and solemnly swore, “How could I deceive you? I swear, only if you can


    handle Liam will I have a child with you. Once we have the money, I’ll take you and our child to settle


    abroad!”.


    L’s eyes flickered upon hearing his words. “Really?” she inquired.


    “Of course, it’s true. If I lie to you, may lightning strike me dead…” Evan swore earnestly.


    L hurriedly covered his mouth and coquettishly said, “Alright, stop talking. I trust you! Don’t worry. I’ll


    take care of things with Liam.”


    Evan’s heart leaped with joy at her words, and he replied, “Good girl, then let’s continue making a


    baby…”


    Another passionate session followed their conversation.


    At the Sherane Bay Vi, Joanna had been lying on the bed for a whole day, and her limbs were almost


    stiff. She wanted to get up and walk around, but the doctor had instructed her not to. As such, she had


    obedientlyplied.


    Two servants had to apany and support her even when she used the bathroom. After that, she


    had to return to the bed immediately.


    Despite lying down, she could not find peace of mind as many matters in thepany still required her


    attention.


    Although most tasks could be delegated to the vice president or assistants, critical contracts, legal


    matters, and financial issues could not be trusted by anyone else. Only the highest executive of the


    group had the authority to sign them. As the president, she could not decline.


    Seeing Joanna looking restless, Miranda knew she could not lie still and quickly tried to persuade her,


    “Joanna, the doctor said you cannot exert yourself anymore. You should lie down and rest. Let the work


    be put on hold, or delegate it to someone else.”


    Joanna furrowed her brows as she replied, “No, I can’t! Some of the contracts are crucial. I can’t afford


    any mistakes. I have to resolve them as soon as possible.”


    After saying that, Joanna called Andy and had him bring the contracts to her home.


    She also had her assistant bring theptop to the bed, and then she worked while lying down.


    Bruce had been obediently sitting on the side, looking pitifully at her. “Darling, don’t ignore me. I’m


    bored and want to talk to you,” he pleaded.


    Joanna gently nced at him, “I need to work for a bit. Can you go out for a while? Once I finish, I’ll


    chat with you, alright?” she requested.


    “No, I don’t want to leave your side!” Bruce whined stubbornly.


    “Sweetie, Davian and Irvin will be back from school soon. How about you y with them for a while?”


    she proposed. Upon hearing this, Bruce’s mouth curled up in delight as he said, “Darling, don’t chase


    me away! I’ll stay by your side! I promise not to cause any trouble.”


    Bruce obediently propped his chin with his hands as he spoke, gazing at her.


    Joanna sighed and had no choice but to agree. She then opened herptop to start working.


    Bruce stood by her side like a quiet and well-behaved kitten. His once sharp and cunning eyes no


    longer disyed any trace of wickedness, and they now emitted an innocent and harmless radiance.


    Twenty minutester, joyful voices could be heard outside the bedroom,


    “Mommy, Daddy, we’re back from school,” Davian and Irvin eximed as they opened the bedroom


    door.


    “Sweeties, why did you finish school so early today? Where’s Lilia?” she inquired.


    The children exined, “We finished school early today, but Lilia’s school probably finishester.”


    Seeing the children, Bruce grinned foolishly.


    He used to forbid these little rascals from entering his bedroom, but now, no one stopped them, and


    they could freelye and go in every room.


    “Pavian, Irvin,” Joanna asked, “can you guys y with Daddy for a while? Mommy needs to handle


    some work right now.” The two little ones nodded eagerly. “Sure! Sure! We’ll y with Daddy. Does that


    mean we don’t have to do our homework?” they asked.


    “How can


    that be? You have to do your homework first,” Joanna replied.


    She yfully looked at Bruce, intentionally adopting a pleading tone. “Bruce, can you do me a favor?”


    she said, her eyes hopeful.


    Bruce felt a sense of aplishment being needed by his wife and nodded enthusiastically. “Of


    course!” he eximed.


    “Then, can you please watch the children do their homework? If they don’t want to do it properly, you


    can give them a lesson,” Joanna said.


    “Sure!” Bruce replied as he nodded heavily, his face filled with a sense of responsibility.


    The two little ones were no longerposed. They were most afraid of their father. Even though their


    father’s mind was now somewhat simple, in the hearts of these children, he was still the lion king of the


    family.


    “Hurry up and start doing your homework. Only after finishing it can you do other things,” Joanna


    instructed.


    “Oh… alright,” the two little ones sighed and had no choice but to start doing their homework.


    Bruce had a serious look on his face as he followed behind them.


    Back in the children’s room, the two little ones took their books from their school bags and began doing


    their homework on the table.


    “Hurry up and do your homework. If you don’t do it, you’ll get spanked…”


    In the past, their dad never had time to watch them do their homework.


    But now, with their dad sitting behind them, the two little ones felt immense pressure. They feared that


    their dad’s hand woulde down on them with one careless mistake.


    Although their dad had never actually hit them, they couldn’t help feeling scared, thinking that he might


    be very strict.


    However, they were only in the first grade, and their homework was not much.


    So, in less than half an hou


    they finished their assignments.


    “Daddy, we’re done with our homework. Please check it,” the children said.


    Bruce received the children’s exercise books with a somewhat bewildered expression and carefully


    checked their work.


    Although he didn’tplete college and dropped out in his sophomore year to return home to inherit


    the Everett Group, it didn’t mean hecked education. Practical experience was always more valuable


    than theory. Besides, he was surrounded by world elites, so his knowledge became extensive over


    time.


    “Well, you did a good job with your homework. Well done,” Bruce praised, acting with a sense of


    importance as he checked their assignments.


    “Daddy, can we y with building blocks together?” the children asked.


    Bruce shook his head, “No, I want to go and apany your mom…”

    “Mommy is working and doesn’t want us to disturb her. Building blocks is fun, and we can build a castle


    together. We need Daddy’s help,” the children pleaded.

    “Alright then!” Bruce agreed.


    “Let’s go!” The children cheered as they pulled their dad along and ran towards the toy room on the


    side of the living room.


    “Alright!” Bruce replied as he followed the children somewhat reluctantly.


    Soon, Davian and Irvin, with their dad, headed to the toy room beside the living room.


    There, various toys and a variety ofrge building blocks were piled up!
