The Return of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife

Chapter 484

In the office, Joanna took a deep breath and exhaled, “Bruce, did I overreact just now?” she asked, her voice filled with uncertainty and self–doubt.

“No! Your performance was excellent!” Bruce said, giving her a thumbs–up, his eyes shining with admiration.

“Really? Don’t lie to me!” she pleaded.

“Why are you losing confidence now?” Bruce said, hooking his arm around her waist, drawing her closer. He looked at her affectionately and indulgently as he gently lifted her chin, his touch reassuring and comforting.

“Last night, you deliberately pretended to be asleep and didn’t do the assignment. Now you must make up for it!” Bruce said, his voice teasing, his hands playfully wandering. A mischievous glint sparkled in his eyes.

Joanna frowned and turned to the side, her frustration evident. “Oh, come on, can you not be so childish? Seriously, can you act more maturely?” she asked, her tone a mixture of exasperation and longing for seriousness.

“How am I immature?” Bruce replied nonchalantly, his gaze filled with tenderness and a hint of melancholy.

He did not know when he would end up in jail!

Once he was in prison, who knew when he would be released? With their limited time now, he did not want to be apart from her even for a moment!

“If you keep doing that, I’ll get angry!” Joanna warned firmly, forcefully prying open his mischievous hands, her determination shining through.

“What’s wrong?” Bruce asked.

Joanna blushed and scolded, “It’s daytime, and we’re in the office. Can’t you stop thinking about that kind of thing? If we really have to, can’t it wait until we get home at night?” she implored, her voice tinged with embarrassment and a hint of playfulness.

Bruce smiled at her words, his expression softening. “Okay, okay, I’ll listen to you, alright? Don’t be mad, darling,” he reassured her, his voice warm and understanding.

“Can you not be so cheesy?” Joanna said, her tone exasperated.
