The Return of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife by Zara Gibbon

Chapter 1230

At Riverview Villa.

The family of Bruce was eating around the dining table.

Davian asked gloomily, “Daddy, Mommy, when are we going back to Sherane Bay Villa?

“We really want to go back and ride horses. Are we going to live here forever from now on?”

Joanna nodded. “Yes, we’ll stay here for the time being. We might move back in the future.”

“Oh, okay!”

“Hurry up and eat!” Joanna called the children to eat while looking at Bruce. “Have you applied the

solution? Remember to apply it on time later, in case your skin gets infected and worsens.”

“Yes, yes,” Bruce replied absent-mindedly.

“Swoosh!” A text message sounded.

Bruce put down the fork and picked up his phone to take a look. It was from Aria.

Looking at the message, Bruce gradually frowned, and his chewing slowed down.

“This Aria could always… cause me a headache. She was always silently sulking and tackling even the

greatest challenges alone, while I always had to clean up the mess and save her ass,” said he

inwardly.

He was really annoyed.

Joanna subconsciously asked, “What are you looking at?”

“Nothing, it’s from the company!” Bruce said and deleted the message.

“She could do whatever she wanted!

“It’s none of my business,” said he inwardly.

Joanna kept staring at Bruce. “What’s wrong? You don’t look right!”

“It’s okay. I’m full. Take your time.” Bruce stood up and walked toward the

courtyard with his phone as he spoke.

“Buzz, buzz, buzz!”

Aria was about to board the plane when she saw Bruce calling. She could not help but feel excited and

quickly answered, “Hello, Bruce!”

Bruce suppressed his anger and asked in a low voice, “Aria, are you on the plane now?”

“Oh, I’m about to board the plane soon.”

“Can you stop? You know it’s dangerous. Do you think you can handle it alone with the team?”

When Aria heard this, she still stubbornly said, “Don’t worry! I can handle it…”

Bruce could no longer suppress his temper but scolded, “I won’t stop you if you want to die. Have you

ever considered other colleagues?

“Do you want to get them killed too?”

Aria’s eyes flickered, and she did not say anything.

“You’re leading at least seven or eight people this time. So many of our men died last time. What if we

lose them again this time? They’re all my subordinates. Before you make a decision, why did you go

past me and look for Richard directly?” asked Bruce.

“Bruce… I didn’t want to cause trouble for you, so I reported directly to Richard!”

“What you’re doing right now is totally out of line and goes against the rules of the organization!”

Hearing Bruce’s angry voice, Aria sounded even more aggrieved. “Bruce, I really don’t have any other

intentions. I just…”

“You always say that you don’t have any other intentions, but you always make your own decisions and

cause irreparable consequences.

“Why are you always so willful? You’re a woman in your 30s. Can’t you be a bit more mature?”

When Aria heard this, she was even more speechless.

She admitted that she had got a bit of a stubborn streak. But she just

couldn’t seem to get over Bruce. Every time she saw Bruce close to his wife, it was like a sharp pain

stabbing her heart.

“Bruce… Can you not say that about me? It really broke my heart when you said that!” Aria sobbed and

couldn’t help but cry.

“Bruce, you know I’m not like that. I just… You wouldn’t know how sad I am. I’m so tormented. I can

only stop my mind from wandering by carrying out missions! Bruce, I just can’t forget our past…”

When Bruce heard this, he felt even more distraught. “Don’t say such things again. I’ll call Richard later

and apply for early retirement.

“You’re no longer my subordinate. You don’t have to report to me what you want to do.”

With that, Bruce was about to hang up.

Aria started crying and begged humbly, “Bruce, can you not be so heartless?

“I won’t drag anyone down with me on this mission. If you think I’ll cause harm to our colleagues by

leading the team, then I’ll go alone, okay?

“Life or death, it’s all on me. I won’t burden the team, the colleagues, or you!

“I… I never intended to hurt anyone. I just loved you too much and couldn’t move on. Someone like me

is really useless in this world. Only by dying on a mission will I feel that my life still has some

meaning…”

When Bruce heard this, he felt a mix of feelings.

“How was she reporting the mission to me? She was clearly giving me her last words,” said he

inwardly.

Hearing her sobbing incessantly, Bruce was afraid that Aria would commit suicide instead of going on a

mission.

“Aría, don’t act like this!

“Don’t get on the plane. It’s too dangerous. Stay!”

Aria choked and sobbed. “No… If I stay, I’ll feel worse than death.

“You don’t have to worry about me. I’m about to board the plane. I wish you happiness!”

“Hello? Hello?” asked Bruce.

Aria had already hung up.

“This is fucking annoying!” Bruce slammed his hand down hard and wanted to smash his phone.

Although he really didn’t want to care about her, he couldn’t just sit back and do nothing when Aria was

so determined to die.

“Joann, I’m going to the airport now!”

Joanna was stunned and looked at him in confusion.

“What are you going to do at the airport?”

“Well, Aria is leaving. I… I’ll go and persuade her!”

Bruce was afraid that Joanna would be angry. He wanted to lie, but he promised Joanna that he would

not lie to her again.

Therefore, he decided to tell the truth.

Joanna was stunned for a few seconds after hearing it. She silently placed the fork on the table.

“If she wanted to leave, so be it!

“Why did he have to run over and persuade her to stay?” wondered she.
