Chapter 741

Joanna could tell from his attitude that he cared a lot about his first love.

This was unacceptable to her.

To her, love must be complete.

If she were to share a man with another woman, she would rather quit voluntarily.

Five minutes later.

Bruce came back, and as he pushed the door open, there was a slight look of guilt and eagerness on his face.

Seeing his expression, she felt even more disgusted. She coldly turned her head away, refusing to look at him.

He approached the bedside cautiously, using a soft and gentle tone to coax her. “Darling, what’s wrong? Why are you ignoring me?”

Observing her silence, he came to the realization that she was angry.

He put a pleasing smile on his handsome face as he gently shook her arm, “Honey, are you overthinking again? I swear to the heavens, Aria and I are just friends. Honey, don’t get angry with me. We said that we should be understanding and accommodating to each other, don’t you remember?”

Silence.

No matter what he said, it seemed as if she had not heard anything.

She liked to sulk, keeping her thoughts bottled up inside.

She especially enjoyed giving him the cold shoulder.

If he did not take the initiative to talk to her, she would genuinely consider giving up on this relationship. In other words, she would rather be in agonizing pain than easily give in.

After a while…

His brows furrowed, and his face was shrouded with a layer of gloominess and weariness.

There were things he did not know how to explain to her, after all.

Also, there were other things he could not tell her at all.

Perhaps, until the day of his death, all his secrets would remain completely unrevealed.

“Honey, I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have said what I said earlier. I shouldn’t have mentioned postpartum syndrome. I apologize to you. This trip to Antlen is for business reasons. It’s definitely not what
