The Return of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife

Chapter 91

Joann, what’s the matter?” Jaydon said. “Speak!” Jaydon’s voice came from the other end of the line.

Joanna pondered for a few seconds and said, “Um, I’ve already asked Davian and Irvin about the advertisement shooting.

“Davian is unwilling to go, but Irvin is willing to go.”

“Oh, that’s great!” Jaydon said.

Joanna still asked worriedly, “I want to ask again. The advertisement shooting won’t take too long, right? Don’t let it interfere with his studies.”

“It won’t.” Jaydon said. “One day is enough!”

Joanna then replied, “Alright then!

“When will the advertisement be shot?”

“Next Sunday,” Jaydon said.

“Alright!” Joanna said.

Jaydon smiled and said, “I’ll drive to pick him up next Sunday then.”

Joanna said, “Okay.

“If there’s nothing else, I’ll hang up first.”

“Okay,” Jaydon said. He then casually placed the phone on the table.

No matter what, he always waited for Joanna to hang up the phone first. He would never hang up before she did.

After Jaydon hung up, Carmel the little minx sat on Jaydon’s lap and whined unhappily. She said, “Mr. Grimm, you’re being too nice to Ms. Haynes!

“You’re willing to fork out your own money to get her son to shoot a public service advertisement, yet she doesn’t appreciate it. Why bother doing so much for nothing?”

Jaydon stretched out his fingers and pinched Carmel’s face with a faint smile. “Why?” he said. “You’re trying to control the

huh?”

boss now,

“Humph, you’re so biased,” Carmel said. “You treat Ms. Haynes so well! From now on, you’re not allowed to treat her so well!” After the little minx finished talking, she leaned coquettishly into Jaydon’s arms.

Her restless little hands began to unbutton his shirt.

Lately, the little minx had been receiving a lot of favor from Jaydon. Be it attending press conferences or high–end cocktail parties, Jaydon took her along, and almost every night he spent it with her.

Gradually, the little minx even started to fantasize. She wanted to take on a higher position and become the boss’s wife!

At the other end of the line, Joanna did not hang up the phone for the first time. As she listened to their flirting and bantering, she suddenly felt an indescribable emotion.

She knew that there had always been women around Jaydon and that he was a playboy.

Therefore, no matter how well Jaydon treated her, she refused to accept him and kept her distance from him.

After a while, the heavy breathing sounds of a man and a woman could be heard from the phone.

Joanna pursed her lips and hung up silently.

Then, she took a deep breath and forced a big smile. “The children and work are the most important things!” she said. “Everything else is unimportant!”

Half an hour later…

Jaydon and Carmel were done with their business.

The little minx was completely exhausted that she was unable to stand up.

Jaydon lit a cigarette and habitually picked up the phone.

He casually browsed through his contact list.

As he was browsing through his contacts, his expression suddenly changed and he became visibly upset. He did not even notice the ashes from his cigarette falling onto his chest.

He had only spoken to Joanna for less than two minutes. However, the call log displayed on the phone was five minutes!

This meant that after he put down the phone, Joanna did not hang up and still listened for three minutes!

Upon seeing this, Jaydon frowned. His heart began to race. He really wanted to call Joanna. but quickly dismissed the thought, realizing that he had nothing to say to her.

For two consecutive days, Jaydon did not call Joanna. Joanna did not take the initiative to look for him too.

On the third day, Jaydon could not resist any longer. He hesitantly gave Joanna a call.

“Hey, Joann, Jaydon said.

Joanna picked up the call and said calmly, “Jay, what’s the matter?” Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Jaydon raised his chin and pretended to be nonchalant as he said, “What are you busy with? Let’s have lunch together.”

“I’m a bit busy at work today,” Joanna said. “Let’s do it another day.”

Jaydon hesitated and said, “Uh, that day…”

“Which day?” Joanna said, pretending to act clueless on purpose.

She knew what Jaydon was saying.

She also knew that Jaydon wanted to gauge her tone and see if she was angry.

However, since she did not intend to be in a relationship with him, she naturally had no right to ask about his private matters. Neither did she have any reason to demand that he kept a distance from other women.

“Um, it’s alright,” Jaydon said. After Jaydon hesitated for a moment, he still did not know what to say.

Joanna smiled and said, “No matter what, you will always be my best friend!”

Jaydon was left speechless. After he heard that, he felt even more upset.

He would rather Joanna be angry and vent her anger on him.

At the very least, it proved that she was jealous.

But now, it seemed that she really only saw him as a regular friend.

“Well, next Sunday, I’ll come and pick you and Irvin up and we’ll go to the photography studio, Jaydon said.

Joanna paused for a few seconds after hearing this.

“Jay, if shooting the public service advertisement is meant to help me, it’s not necessary, Joanna said.

“No, it’s not like that, Jaydon said. “This advertisement is also meant to pro

“Alright then!” Joanna said.

Soon, the weekend arrived.

Jaydon came and picked up Joanna and Irvin.

The advertisement was an environmental public service advertisement.

environmental protection. In any case, we

A young boy picked up water bottles on the street and sold it for money to donate to children in mountainous areas.

The advertisement shoot was very successful.

It looked very soothing and heartwarming.

After filming the advertisement, Joanna left with Irvin. She did not ask about any subsequent matters related to the advertisement.

Jaydon insisted on paying a service fee, but Joanna refused to accept it no matter what.

At the hospital.

Margaret had been hospitalized for a week.

Bruce canceled all his work and social engagements and stayed at the hospital around the clock to look after his grandmother.

For the past few days, Roxanne had also been carefully accompanying him at the hospital. She said, “Bruce, take a rest.

“I’ll look after Margaret.”

Bruce’s handsome face had noticeably become much more haggard over the past few days. “It’s okay,” he said. “I won’t say anything more. You go back first.”

“Bruce, Margaret hasn’t been discharged yet, Roxanne said. “I can’t leave.”

“You have been watching over her for several days,” Bruce said. “Grandma has passed the critical period. You don’t need to keep watching over her anymore.”

“Alright then!” Roxanne said. “I’ll go back and change my clothes before coming back to accompany Margaret…”

After Roxanne left, Margaret slowly opened her eyes. Because of the surgery, she was a bit weak. She asked, “Bruce, how do you plan to handle your marriage with Roxanne?”

“Um. I don’t know,” Bruce said, looking a little dejected.

He did not dare to rashly mention breaking up now.

If he were to mention breaking up again, Roxanne might not be able to handle the blow, and she would harm herself again.

“Since you’re already engaged, don’t overthink it,” Margaret said. “Just live a good life!”

When Bruce heard this, he placed his hands on his temples.

He did not know what to say. He no longer had any feelings for Roxanne.

If they really got married, it would only harm her for the rest of her life.

Upon eagerly returning home, Roxanne hurriedly went up to the second floor and locked herself in the room.

She then quickly took out another phone to check.

As expected, Gavin went crazy again. He called her countless times and sent her hundreds of messages.

Roxanne quickly called Gavin back. “Gavin, I told you not to call me again!” she said.

“Roxy, even if you’re married, it doesn’t stop us from being together!” Gavin said. “Bruce doesn’t love you at all. Why do you have to be with him?”
