Chapter 736

When Bruce heard this, a complicated emotion appeared in his eyes.

“Honey, I want a hug…”

He didn’t want to be separated from Joanna and the children.

“What’s wrong?” Joanna asked, looking puzzled.

“I don’t want to be apart from you!” Bruce said while hugging Joanna.

“Silly! You’re just going on a business trip. It’s not like you’ll never come back.” Joanna looked at him, slightly irritated.

Bruce remained silent. He simply lay his head in her arms as if he were a kid seeking solace in his mother’s love.

If he went to Antlen this time, he might be unable to return.

However, since he had promised Aria, he had no choice but to go.

“Well, when are you going?”

Bruce took a deep breath and said sadly, “It might take a few days. After I’ve arranged the company’s matters and you’re feeling better, I’ll go over.”

Joanna listened and did not ask further.

After all, Bruce went on frequent business trips. The trips varied in length, lasting from three to five days to one to two

months.

It was normal for someone as busy as him to go on a business trip.

Joanna thought he was going on an ordinary business trip, so she did not pay much attention.

Bruce sank deep into her embrace. His heart felt especially warm as he smelt her faint fragrance.

“Honey, my head hurts,” Bruce said, sounding melancholic.

When Joanna heard this, she assumed he was genuinely suffering from a headache and offered, “Let me massage it for you.”

“…Okay.” Bruce adjusted his posture obediently, his arms still hugging her tightly.

Joanna knew he had a habit of getting a headache and gently reached out to massage his temples.

Despite the fact that the Everett family had a professional physiotherapist who could give him a full-body massage, he preferred to let Joanna massage his head since it made him feel happy and loved.
