The Return of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife by Zara Gibbon

Chapter 45

When it was around lunchtime, Bruce was swimming in the pool.

He suddenly got a cramp in his foot and drowned.

Although the Haynes family had servants, unlike the Everett family, they did not have that many housekeepers and bodyguards.

When Bruce was drowning, Joanna was the first to spot him.

As the situation was so critical, Joanna dove in to save him before she could call for help.

After rescuing him out of the pool, Joanna ran off to call for help, and Roxanne rushed over to Bruce’s side to take care of him.

After Bruce woke up, he asked her, “Did you save me?”

Roxanne knew he had misunderstood the situation but nodded anyway.

It was also from that day onward that Bruce’s attitude toward her completely changed.

Despite being five years older than her, he refused to date all because he had been waiting for her to grow up.

“Why, after all these years, is he suddenly asking such a question? Could it be that… Joanna said something to him?” Roxanne wondered.

Seeing Bruce’s silent demeanor, Roxanne asked cautiously, “Did Joanna say something to you?”

“No,” replied Bruce drily.

He knew he did not need to ask anymore.

Joanna was his rescuer, and all those years, he had gotten everything wrong.

Roxanne’s heart skipped a beat, and she hurried to say, “Bruce, I’m sure Joanna told you something. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have asked! You know that she has always been smarter than me and better. than me. She loves you so much, so of course, she won’t let go of you. It’s obvious that she deliberately tried to split us up. Whatever she told you, Bruce, you mustn’t believe it…”

Bruce had a grim look on his face. He said impatiently, “Don’t say any more. My mind is in at muddle. I want to be alone.”

“But Bruce…”

“Please leave the room for now!”

His mind was indeed all muddled up right now, and he didn’t know what to do.

“I made a mistake! I can’t blame others. The only person I can blame is myself!” He berated himself internally.

“Do you not love me anymore, Bruce? You’ve been giving me the cold shoulder ever since Joanna came back. I can’t lose you, Bruce! I won’t let her snatch you away from me!”
