Chapter 410
After hanging up.
Chapter 410
Joanna was in a daze for a moment. She did not let go of the phone for a long time.
*Bruce, for the rest of your life… I will let you live in pain and repentance. Everything you took from me, I will make you pay tenfold or a hundredfold.”
The days ahead would be even more painful. What she had to do next was pretend to fall in love with Bruce and let him drown in her passion.
Once he was immersed entirely, she would leave him in the most brutal way.
As long as it would make him suffer for the rest of his life, anything would be worth it.
An hour later!
Bruce drove back.
During this period, he did not return to the company as much. Today, he was in a rare good mood. He arrived at the company early in the morning to deal with the backlog of work.
“Hello, Mr. Everett!” The servants greeted in unison.
“Mm–hmm!” Bruce rarely responded to greetings but was in a good mood today.
He walked into the living room.
A strong smell of onion oil wafted over. It was the smell of spaghetti. “Mmm, it smells so good!”
Bruce didn’t even have time to change his clothes and walked straight to the kitchen.
“Joann, what are you doing?”
In the kitchen, Joanna was wearing a white casual outfit. Her hair was tied into a ponytail, and she had a blue and white checkered apron around her chest.
After hearing Bruce’s voice, she turned around and smiled at him. “I’m making you spaghetti.”
Her face was beautiful and gentle. Her sweat caused a few strands of hair to stick together on her temples. She looked like a good wife and mother who washed her husband’s hands and cooked soup.
Bruce’s heart was instantly filled with warmth. This was precisely what he had hoped for.
…Did you make this for me?” Bruce slowly walked forward and gently hugged her from behind.
“Of course! Who else could it be made for if it wasn’t for you?”
“Hehe, thank you, wife.” Bruce smiled and kissed her on the side of her face.
“Stop fooling around. Hurry up and wash your hands. It’ll be done soon.”
“Mm, okay!”
Joanna brought a bowl of spaghetti to the dining table. There were also hash browns and two dishes of coleslaw,
After washing his hands, Bruce looked at the food on the table and smiled. “Why are you suddenly so good to me? You thought of making me spaghetti?”
Joanna smiled gently and took off her apron. “Don’t you like it? I made it special for you!”
“Hehe… Bruce couldn’t help but laugh awkwardly.
Joanna had always been cold to him. Suddenly she was so gentle to him, and he was not used to it.
But no matter what, he was still delighted.
“Eat it while it’s hot! It won’t taste good when it’s cold.”
Bruce walked to the dining table and picked up his tableware to eat.
The spaghetti was as delicious as ever. They were accompanied by coleslaw, which was refreshing and delicious.
Although they were all ordinary dishes, they tasted better than all the usual delicacies.
“Is it good?”
“Yes, it’s incredibly delicious. This is the best spaghetti I’ve ever eaten.”
Joanna sat beside him. She rested her chin on her elbow and looked at him gently. “If you like it, I’ll make it for you every
Chapter 410
day in the future.”
“Good!”
Bruce ate the food with relish.
Halfway through his meal, he suddenly thought of something.
“Joann, pack your luggage.”
“What’s up?”
“Next week, I’m going to Escostan on a business trip. I might be gone for more than ten days. Get ready to come with me.”
Joanna was stunned. “Huh? We’re going to be gone for that long?”
Bruce raised his eyes slightly and looked at her with a faint smile. “Why? Don’t you want to go?”
“No, I’m worried about the children. What will happen if we’re gone for such a long time?”
“The children will be under the care of the butler and servants. Don’t worry.”
Joanna pondered for a few seconds before squeezing out a smile. “…Alright then!”
Bruce continued to eat his noodles in silence. Occasionally, he would look up at Joanna, feeling exceptionally satisfied.
After eating the spaghetti.
Bruce rested for another 20 minutes.
He looked at the time. It was almost two o’clock. So, he put on his suit and prepared to go out. “Honey, I’m going back to
work.”
“Okay, don’t tire yourself out. I’ll wait for you for dinner tonight.”
“You too. Have a good rest. I’m leaving now.”
“Goodbye.
Bruce, reluctant to leave, kissed her and then hurriedly drove back to work.
After Bruce left!
Joanna’s expression suddenly darkened, and a trace of coldness appeared under her eyes.
“Bruce, just you wait! I’ll definitely make you suffer.”
3:30 PM!
Joanna was in a daze when she suddenly heard a cheerful voice. “Mommy, we’re back.”
The children got out of the car and ran happily into Joanna’s room!
Joanna instantly snapped out of her absent–minded state. “Babies. Are you done with school?”
“Yes. We missed Mommy so much!”
Davian and Irvin pounced into Joanna’s arms one after another.
The nanny also walked in with Lilia.
“Mommy, I’m done with school too…”
Lilia was in kindergarten 1, one year behind her two brothers. The two boys were in kindergarten 2.
The two little fellows‘ noses were very sharp. They sniffed. “What smells so good?”
“Mommy, did you make dumplings!”
“Wow, that’s great. We were thinking of Mommy’s dumplings.”
“Mominy has already wrapped them. I’ll cook them for you now,”
Thank you, Mommy.”
The servant hurriedly went forward. “Mrs. Everett, I’ll cook!”
“No need. It’s better to cook for the children myself.”
Even though more than 20 servants were serving the Everett family, Joanna still wanted to cook herself and make food for
her children.
Joanna smiled and took Lilia from the nanny’s arms. She walked towards the kitchen. “Baby, are you happy at school?!”

Lilia nodded excitedly. “Yes, I’m very happy. I know many children!”
Lilia looked like a cute little princess in a beautiful plaid skirt with a lace cover–up.
She could not walk yet and needed the servants to carry her to kindergarten every day.
Joanna kissed her daughter’s cheek, but her eyes could not help but turn red.
Fifteen minutes later!
Joanna cooked the dumplings and scooped three bowls for the children. She let them simmer on the dining table.
The children couldn’t wait to eat them. “Don’t fight with me. This bowl is mine.”
“I want this bowl. This bowl has so much more.”
Seeing this, Joanna quickly stopped them “Stop fighting. There’s more in the pot. Eat slowly.”
The three little children sat at the dining table and ate the dumplings with relish on the side.
Their favorite dishes were the dumplings and sweet potato croquettes, specially made by their mommy.
Although the Everett family’s chefs knew how to cook delicious meals, they couldn’t make the food their mommy made.
