Chapter 706
Of course, there was also a deep misunderstanding between both of them.
Back then, Bruce had asked Aria to return to the country with him. However, Aria rejected Bruce and chose to break up with Bruce.
The failure of Bruce’s first love and the changes in his family circumstances had dealt a heavy blow to Bruce’s heart.
Bruce had always been an arrogant person. If the other party did not contact him, Bruce would not make the first contact.
Therefore, Bruce had not contacted Aria for many years.
Bruce stared at his phone silently for a long time.
Bruce still didn’t reply in the end. Bruce put the phone back into the drawer.
Let bygones be bygones.
Bruce and Joanna had finally come this far. Bruce would never let anyone ruin it.
“What time is it?” Joanna asked in a daze after waking up.
Seeing that Joanna was awake, Bruce immediately closed the drawer. “Oh, it’s already past five.”
This drawer had a fingerprint and password lock. Once it was closed, it was equivalent to being locked. Other than Bruce, no one could open it.
Bruce did not have to worry that Joanna would discover his secret. Furthermore, Joanna would never touch his personal belongings.
“Oh my, have I slept for two hours?”
“That’s right!”
“Why didn’t you wake me up?” Joanna rubbed her eyes and yawned as Joanna sat up in bed.
Joanna was still planning to deal with the company’s documents.
Joanna didn’t expect herself to sleep for more than two hours.
“Honey, you don’t have to work so hard.
“I saw that you have been working too hard, so I wanted you to sleep a little longer. Look at you, you’re already seven months pregnant, but you’re still so thin,” Bruce said as he hugged Joanna’s shoulder, his heart aching.
Indeed, after Joanna got pregnant, her belly was the only thing that got bigger. Joanna’s arms and legs didn’t gain much weight at all.
“It’s okay, don’t worry!”
“Honey…” Bruce wanted to say something but didn’t know what to say.
“What happened?”
Bruce smiled foolishly. “No, nothing.”
Sensing the change in Bruce, Joanna looked into Bruce’s eyes curiously. “Why are you acting weird? Your eyes are red. Did you cry just now?”
“No! Why would I cry?”
“It’s probably because I just woke up. That’s why my eyes are red!” Bruce pretended to rub his eyes.
Joanna heard Bruce and did not ask any more questions. Joanna yawned, stretched, and prepared to get up.
“Why don’t I go downstairs and see how the kids are doing?”
“Alright, go ahead!”
At the same time, Lola found another opportunity and came alone to meet Evan.
Evan had been recuperating for more than a month. Although his fracture had healed, Evan could only shuffle slowly and could not do anything vigorous.
“Lola, how is it? How far have things progressed?”
Lola smiled smugly. “The trial will start next Tuesday.”
“There shouldn’t be any problems this time.”
“Bruce has completely become a retard. He actually wants to go home with the old man. The heavens are really helping us. When the time comes, the judge will definitely award Bruce’s custody to the old man.”
When Evan heard this, his eyes lit up. “That’s great. As long as we get custody of Bruce, we’ll be one step closer to success!
“I can’t wait anymore. I want to see the flames of victory!”
Lola laughed. “I’m sure you can.”
“Lola, this is all thanks to you. Don’t worry. When we get Bruce’s assets, I’ll definitely take you far away.”
When Lola heard this, her face instantly fell. Lola stammered, “Evan, I’m pregnant!”
Evan was stunned. Evan stared at Lola in disbelief.
There was a strange light in Lola’s eyes.
Lola couldn’t afford to waste any more time. No matter what, Lola would give birth to this child.
Evan was currently recuperating now. When Evan completely recovered, who knew when Lola would be able to get pregnant with Evan’s child?
Moreover, if Lola really had a child with Evan, Liam would skin them alive if Liam found out.
Therefore, after thinking about it, Lola decided that it was more appropriate to give birth to Liam’s child.
“Who? Whose?”
Lola looked at Evan bitterly. “Whose else could it be?”
When Evan heard this, his face instantly turned red.
Evan had been recuperating during this period of time and had no chance to touch Lola at all. The child could only belong to his father.
“The child belongs to the old man, doesn’t it?”
“Yes, that’s right.”
Evan was instantly enraged. “Lola, didn’t I promise you I would have children with you?
“How can you have a child with the old man? Hurry up and abort this child. We can’t let this child ruin our plan.”
When Lola heard this, her heart ached. “Evan, I can’t wait anymore. I’m already 32 years old this year and about to turn 33. I have already reached advanced maternal age. I really can’t wait for you anymore.
“No matter what, I have to give birth to a child to safeguard myself in the future. I told you a long time ago, but you were the one who disagreed. I had no choice but to go to the old man.”
