The Return of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife by Zara Gibbon

Chapter 244

Shaun placed the fruit basket on the bedside table with a grimace that he tried in vain to disguise as a smile.

Joanna scanned Shaun’s expression critically. He definitely had something to ask of her. Otherwise, why would he be willing

to come and see her?

Unwilling to beat around the bush, she asked directly, “Dad, what’s the matter?” The idea of having small talk with him was slightly repulsive.

Shaun smiled awkwardly. “No, it’s nothing. I heard you were hospitalized, so I came to see how you were.

“No matter what, you’re my daughter. Regardless of what happened in the past, there should not be grudges between us. Let bygones be bygones!”

When Joanna heard this, she did not say anything. She only looked at her father suspiciously.

Shaun smiled uncomfortably and picked up the fruit basket. “Oh, have some fruit! Daddy will peel an apple for you!”

“No need, you don’t have to go through so much trouble,” Joanna interjected.

“No, no, no. Eating apples is good for your health. I shall peel an apple for you!”

As he spoke, Shaun opened the basket and took out an apple.

“Where’s the fruit knife?”

Seeing this, Ms. Chain immediately went forward to stop him. “Mr. Haynes, Madam is very weak. She has to adhere to a strict diet.

“The fruits she eats have to be specially imported.”

As Ms. Chain spoke, she quickly took out a plate of washed fruits from the safe.

These fruits were obviously very costly. They were many times more expensive than the fruits Shaun had bought.

Seeing this, Shaun flushed slightly and put down the apple in embarrassment. “Alright then. If you don’t want to eat this, forget about it.”

“Joann, how many days have you been in the hospital? Are you hurt?”

When Joanna heard this, she narrowed her eyes, her suspicions confirmed. Shaun definitely had something to ask of her.

“Dad, what do you want from me? Just say it.

“Well, it’s nothing really.”

Seeing him stutter and stammer aimlessly, Joann’s patience was running out.

Sensing her displeasure, Shaun decided to get straight to the point. In an obsequious voice, he said, “That’s right, I want to bring Roxy home!”

“Look, can you tell Bruce to let Roxy come back?”

Joanna was even more confused when she heard this.

Seeing Joanna’s dumbfounded expression, Shaun immediately explained, “Well, here’s the situation. There was some misunderstanding between Bruce and Roxy. In a fit of anger, he imprisoned her in Sherane Bay Villa.

“You know what Bruce’s temper is like. He doesn’t consider the consequences when he does things, let alone how others feel,
