The Return of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife by Zara Gibbon

Chapter 966

Seeing this, Joanna felt even more suffocated.

However, she had always been fond of concealing her feelings. Even if she was unhappy, she would keep it to

herself.

“Let’s go to bed!”

Bruce quickly moved aside to make room for her. He even stretched out his arm for her to use as a pillow.

Joanna lifted the blanket and lay down with her back facing him. Her petite body curled slightly at the edge of the

bed.

Bruce knew she was angry and quickly leaned over. “Hey, honey, what’s wrong? Are you angry?”

With a hint of impatience, Joanna sighed. “I’m tired. Let’s just sleep!”

“Oh, come closer to me. You might fall off the bed.” Bruce promptly tucked his arm under her neck.

Joanna retreated gloomily. “Let’s just sleep, okay? I’m really tired today.”

“You can rest on my arm…”

Joanna had always used his arm as a pillow and slept in his arms like that.

Now that she refused to get close to him, it was obvious that she wanted to have a cold war.

Every time there was a cold war, Bruce would be the first to admit defeat.

Men were such magical creatures.

Once their emotions were captured, they would be fully ensnared. They would willingly walk into the cage of love

and sink deep in.

However, that made sense.

In the interactions between men and women, it was inherently a game of power. Either side might dominate the

other at any time.

“Honey, what’s wrong? Why are you angry all of a sudden?”

“I’m not!” Joanna tried her best to keep her voice calm.

“Why are you still insisting that you’re not angry? You’re ignoring me. You must be angry.

“Didn’t we agree to deal with our conflicts promptly and avoid giving each other the silent treatment?”

Joanna sneered. “Since when did I give you the silent treatment?”

“I know. Pushing back the wedding for six months might be too puzzling for you.

“But… this really isn’t the best time for us to get married.

“Believe me. I won’t marry anyone but you. Do you still not believe in my love for you?” Bruce said as he forcefully

turned Joanna’s face to him.

He pressed down on her hands, making her look into his eyes.

Joanna looked at Bruce gloomily. “Don’t say that. It makes me look like I’m

forcing a marriage.”

“Joann, there are some things that are difficult to explain now. You’ll understand in the future.

“After everything we’ve been through, I hope you understand.”

“I’m sorry, but I’m unable to understand!

“You were the one who said that we have to be forthcoming with each other. But you’re clearly hiding something in

your heart. Why aren’t you being honest with me?”

Bruce blinked his eyes, silent.

“Or are you planning to do something shameful behind my back?”

“Joann, you are still doubting my love for you? I’ll be very sad if you say that.” That made sense.

It did not matter even if anyone misunderstood him.

He only wanted Joanna to believe him. As long as she loved him, misunderstanding didn’t matter at all.

“I just want to know why our remarriage has to be postponed for six months.

“If you don’t want to marry me, you can spell it out. I don’t like your wavering attitude, and I don’t know what

exactly you’re thinking!”

“Joann…” Bruce hesitated.

There were some things he really could not tell her for now.

The organization was very strict. Other than the people in the organization, no one else could know his true identity.

“You said that you’re going to Melta for a business trip. Are you going to see her?” Joanna could not help but ask.

It was obvious that she was indeed jealous at the moment, and she didn’t want Bruce and Aria to have anything to

do with each other.

In terms of a relationship, Joanna didn’t tolerate any flaws. She would be loyal and devoted to her man, and in

return, she expected the same unwavering

commitment from him.

If he couldn’t fulfill that or disappointed her, she would rather abandon this relationship altogether.

“Joann, here we go again. This has nothing to do with Aria. I’m going to Melta on

a business trip because I really have business to deal with.”

When Joanna heard this, she felt even more stifled. Aggrieved tears instantly filled her eyes. “I haven’t even

mentioned a name. Why are you so sure that I’m talking about Aria?

“Are you

obsessed with her to begin with? Bruce, make yourself clear.

“If it’s really because of her, you can tell me openly.”

Bruce felt a lump in his throat. He looked helpless.

Joanna used all of her strength to push him away. Her tears fell uncontrollably. “Between us… Well, how do I put

this…

“You’re the one who made me stop believing in love. You’re also the one who made me believe in love again. I’m

really conflicted right now, and I’m afraid of being hurt once more.

“Bruce, if you don’t love me enough, you must tell me. I won’t pester you, let alone cling to you persistently.

“If your heart is with Aria, tell me. I don’t like you lying to me, and I certainly don’t want to share the same man

with anyone…”

Before Joanna could finish, Bruce pressed his lips against hers forcefully.

His passionate kiss left her breathless.

He wanted to use his actions to tell her how much he loved her.
