The Return of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife

Chapter 260

Bruce had a long meeting in the morning. After the meeting, he looked at his watch and realized it was time for lunch.

Bruce thought, “It is also the first day Joanna returns to work. I want to go over and see what she is doing.”

Then Bruce packed his things, grabbed his car key, and left the company.

“Chirp! Chirp!”

Bruce walked to the parking lot and unlocked his car.

Before Bruce could get into the car, he heard a sweet female voice.

“Hi, Bruce! I haven’t seen you for a long time!”

Bruce was stunned and turned around to see what the woman was. Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Bruce found a beautiful woman in a white coat standing behind him. She had long wavy hair and was dressed like a sweet girl.

Bruce was stunned and asked, “Jennie, why are you here?”

Jennie smiled sweetly and explained plainly, “I was supposed to be nearby to meet a friend. Unfortunately, my friend got something to do and couldn’t

come to see me.

“I realized I hadn’t seen you in a long time, so I decided to come to see you!”

Bruce widened his eyes and asked, “Come to see me?”

Jennie replied, “Yeah. It’s been a while since we last met. I quite miss you, Bruce.”

Hearing this, Bruce felt uncomfortable and frowned. He asked, “What’s the matter?”

Jennie blinked her big eyes suggestively. She looked innocent and lively. Jennie said, “Can’t I just come to visit you?”

Hearing this, Bruce frowned slightly.

Bruce thought, “Jennie is my best friend’s sister.

“I should probably show her some respect.”

Jennie asked, “Bruce, where are you going?”

Bruce replied, “Well, I’m going to have lunch.”

“Sounds great. By the way, I haven’t had lunch yet. How about having lunch together?” Jennie looked at Bruce expectantly.

Bruce frowned again.

Bruce thought, “But I’m going to pick Joanna up for lunch.”

Thus, Bruce said, “Well, I have an appointment with someone else. Maybe another day.”

Jennie did not want to give up. Thus, she continued, “Who has that pleasure to have lunch with you? Do I know that person?”

Bruce laughed awkwardly and replied, “Haha. You probably know her.”

Then, Bruce opened the door and got in the car.

Jennie opened the door and sat on the passenger seat without an invitation.

Jennie said, “That’s perfect. I’m going to the Hampon Building nearby. Bruce, can you give me a ride there?”

Bruce thought, “The Hampon Building is about a mile from the Everett Group. I will pass by that building no matter which route I choose.”

Bruce thought for a while and had no reason to reject Jennie.

Thus, Bruce said, “Okay.”

“Thank you!” Jennie deliberately showed a sweet smile. That smile appeared natural. However, she practiced hard to have that natural sweet smile,

Bruce started the car and drove out of the parking lot.

Jennie asked, “Bruce, I heard you broke up with Miss Roxanne?”

“Yep!” Bruce replied in a muffled voice.

Jennie said, “I knew it! You two aren’t matched for each other.”

Hearing this, Bruce did not say anything to reply to Jennie. He just drove silently.

Bruce thought, “Jennie expressed her affection for me before. I don’t want to create any more hope for her.”

Noticing Bruce’s cold reaction, Jennie shut her mouth.

Then, Jennie opened her handbag and applied her lipstick.

Jennie said, “Bruce, here’s the Hampon Building. Please pull over.”

Bruce replied, “Okay.” Then he parked the car by the roadside.

Jennie said, “Thank you! I’ll invite you for a meal another day!” When speaking, she opened the door and was about to get off.

Jennie secretly left her lipstick on the seat when she opened the door.

Jennie thought, “Bruce drives to pick up that person. Thus, she must be the woman Bruce cares about the most. I need to create conflict between them.”

Bruce replied perfunctorily, “Okay.” Then he drove away.

Watching Bruce’s car drive away, Jennie smirked and waved at the car.

Jennie murmured, “Bruce, I must get you next time.

“Whether it’s Joanna or Roxanne, they aren’t meant for you. I am the best woman for you!

“Wait for it. I’ll make you fall in love with me!”

Soon, Bruce arrived at the Haynes Group.

“Hello, Mr.Everett!”

“Hi.”

Bruce walked straight to Joanna’s office.

At this time, Joanna was dealing with the work at hand.

Boom! Boom! Bruce knocked on the door.

“Come in!” said Joanna.

Bruce gently pushed the door open and walked in..

Joanna looked up and saw Bruce. Then her heart skipped a beat. She asked, “Bruce, why are you here?”

Bruce smiled and answered, “Haha. It’s already noon. I stopped by to see you.”

Hearing this, Joanna was stunned.

Joanna thought, “Time passed quickly. It is noon now.”

Bruce looked at Joanna with a smile and said gently, “Are you done?”

Joanna said, “Yeah, almost.”

Bruce said, “Then let’s go.”

Joanna asked in confusion, “Where are we going?”

Bruce said, “Go to have lunch.”

Joanna said, “I will order a takeout or something later.”

Bruce did not give up. “Come on. Let’s go!”

Joanna had no choice but to turn off the computer.

Bruce asked considerately, “What do you want to eat?”

“Anything is fine.”

“How about Flech cuisine?”

“Sounds good.”

Then the two of them went to the parking lot together.

Bruce opened the door for Joanna like a gentleman, and Joanna got into the car.

Bruce drove Joanna to the restaurant where he had booked seats.

As soon as Joanna sat down, she felt something in her seat.

Joanna murmured, “What’s this?” She grabbed the thing in her seat and found it was a tube of lipstick.

Joanna was shocked. Then, she opened the lipstick and took a look at it.

Joanna cried inside, “This lipstick isn’t a new one. Apparently, someone has used it!”

Seeing this, Bruce got nervous.

Bruce explained, “Well, maybe… Maybe my driver drive my car to pick up his girlfriend.”

Joanna did not say a word. She thought, “How come Bruce’s driver dares to drive his car to pick up girls?

“Obviously, another woman had sat in the passenger seat before.”

However, Joanna did not continue to question Bruce.

Twenty minutes later, they arrived at a French restaurant.

It was the most high–end Michelin restaurant with the most luxurious decorations.

Bruce said, “Here’s the menu.”

Joanna said, “Thanks.” Then she randomly ordered the food.

Then Joanna said, “I need to go to the washroom.”

“Sure!” replied Bruce.

Joanna got up and walked to the washroom while Bruce sat still to flip through the menu.

Jennie came out of nowhere and greeted, “Hi, Bruce! What a coincidence!”

Bruce looked at Jennie in shock and asked, “Jennie, why are you here?”

Jennie explained, “I’m having lunch with a friend here.”

“Is that so?”

“Yeah! So you’re also having lunch with your friend here? Who is it? Can you introduce your friend to me?”

“Well…”

Jennie sat next to Bruce without asking.

At this time, Joanna came out of the washroom and saw Jennie and Bruce sitting together.

“This is?” asked Joanna.

Bruce immediately introduced, “Joanna, this is Jennie, Zachary’s sister. Jennie, this is Joanna.”

Jennie looked at Joanna and smiled. She said, “Oh, you must be Bruce’s girlfriend. Hi, I’m Jennie!”

“Hi, Jennie.” Joanna reached out and shook Jennie’s hand.

Jennie said, “By the way, Bruce, I may lose my lipstick in your car. Did you see it?”

Bruce’s face darkened when he heard that.

Joanna handed the lipstick to Jennie and asked, “Is this the one?”

Jennie cried, “Oh, yes, it is! Thank you!”

“You’re welcome!” replied Joanna.

Jennie said, “Well, my friend is waiting for me. I’ll see you guys another day!”

“Okay, bye!”

“Goodbye!”

Jennie got up and left.

Then Joanna sat down. However, she was clearly not in a good mood.

Joanna thought, “Bruce has so many women around him.

“Bruce hasn’t finished the things between him and Roxanne. Now there is a Jennie!”

Noticing Joanna was in a bad mood, Bruce explained, “Jennie is really my friend’s sister. I happened to bump into her.

Then she asked me to give her a ride. There’s nothing between us!”

Joanna squeezed out a smile. She said, “You don’t have to explain.”

“Joanna, I’m afraid you’ll get me wrong!”

“I won’t!”

“That’s good. Then let’s eat.”

“Great.”

The romantic atmosphere instantly became strange.

Joanna ate silently. Bruce still felt uneasy even though Joanna said she was not angry.

After lunch, Bruce thoughtfully carried Joanna’s bag and said, “Come on. I’ll send you back to your company.”

“Thanks.”

Soon, Bruce and Joanna reached the entrance of the restaurant.

Jennie cried, “Hey, what a coincidence!

“I’m going to go shopping with my friend!”

The two of them bumped into Jennie again.

Jennie asked, “Bruce, can you give me a ride?”

Bruce directly refused, “I’m afraid I can’t. I’m going to send Joanna back to her company now.”

“Aww, Joanna. Look how stingy Bruce is!”

Thus, Joanna said, “It’s fine. Give her a ride.”

“Thank you! Joanna!”

Then Jennie opened the door and sat in the passenger seat.

Bruce said, “Jennie, please sit in a back seat!”

Jennie said, “Bruce, I’ve had motion sickness since I was a kid. You know that! I’ll get motion sickness if I sit in the back!

“Joanna won’t be angry over such a small matter. Am I right, Joanna?”

Joanna raised her eyebrows slightly and said, “It’s okay.”

Then Joanna opened the car door and sat in the back seat.

“Where are you going?” asked Bruce.

Jennie said, “Oh, just put me down at the crossing ahead.”

Bruce started the car and drove to the place Jennie had specified.

Jennie cried, “Wow, I didn’t expect Greyport to change so much! I still remember these two buildings weren’t there before I had been abroad to study. And this port! And that alarm bell!”
