Chapter 150
Bruce seethed with anger when he heard that. He chased after her and forcefully pulled her back.
“Joanna!”
“What now? Do you want to hit me? Go ahead, hit me!
“Anyway, this isn’t the first time you’ve hit me!”
When Bruce heard this, his eyes were filled with anger.
In the past, he had indeed hit her.
It had been a misunderstanding. He was a gentleman and never liked to hit women.
“Joanna, you’ll be the death of me.”
“Bruce, that’s enough. I don’t want to have anything to do with you anymore. You can do whatever you
wish.”
After saying that, Joanna did not want to face him anymore. She turned around and left.
Bruce was a little dejected. Just then, Andy called him again.
“Mr. Everett, Mrs. Everett’s condition is getting worse again. You have to come back immediately.”
“What’s wrong with Grandma?”
“The doctor said it’s heart failure.”
“All right, I’ll go back now.”
After hanging up the phone, Bruce returned to the Everett mansion without further delay.
Soon, he arrived at the Everett mansion.
“Where’s Grandma?”
“The doctor just gave her another injection. Her condition has stabilized.”
“I’ll go in and take a look.”
Bruce then walked into Margaret’s room.
Margaret was lying on the bed with an oxygen mask on her face. She looked weak and frail.
“Grandma, I’m back.”
When Margaret heard Bruce’s voice, she waved her hand lightly, gesturing
them to
remove her oxygen mask,
Bruce quickly instructed the nurse to take off Margaret’s
mask.
“Grandma, are you feeling better?”
“Bruce.” Margaret eyes were in a daze.
Bruce held her withered and thin hand. “Grandma, I’m here.”
“Where’s Roxy?”
“She’s at the Sherane Bay Villa. Do you want to see her?”
“It’s all right. It’s too far away, I don’t want you to rush back and forth.
“I’m afraid I don’t have much time left.”
“Grandma, you’ll be fine. You’ll live a long life.”
“Bruce, hurry up and get married while I’m still alive.
“Grandma wants to see you start a family before I leave this world.”
Bruce frowned when he heard that.
He no longer had any feelings for Roxanne. He did not want to marry her at all.
However, Margaret was already so ill. He could not delay the wedding any longer.
“Grandma, I’ve already decided. I will marry Roxy next month.”
“Oh, that’s good news. Anyway, you’ve been together for so long. You should get married as soon as
possible.”
Margaret was not aware of what had happened to Roxanne.
If she knew, she would probably rather die than let Bruce marry her.
That night, Bruce left for the Sherane Bay Villa.
Bruce returned home, exhausted.
Roxanne had specially cooked many dishes for him, such as seafood stew, grilled salmon, lamb chop,
roasted vegetables, and fresh oysters.
They were all nourishing dishes.
When Bruce got back at eight o’clock in the evening, he saw Roxanne in a maid’s outfit, complete with
a head scarf and apron. Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.
The attire made her look attractive and seductive.
“Bruce, you’re home.”
“Yes.” Bruce looked at her attire and frowned.
He did not enjoy cosplay at all.
Roxanne smiled sweetly at him. “Dinner is ready. Bruce, quick. Come and have dinner.”
Bruce frowned slightly. “Didn’t I tell you to leave the cooking to the ser vants?”
“I like to cook for you. The ser vants don’t cook as well as I do.”
Bruce said, “I don’t want you to tire yourself out.”
“I have nothing to do at home. If I don’t cook, I’ll be bored to death.”
“All right then. Do whatever you like.”
Shortly after, Bruce washed his hands and sat at the dining table.
Roxanne passed him a bowl of seafood stew, smiling.
Bruce took a sip of the stew. He could taste the herbs in it. “What is this?”
“It’s a seafood stew.” Roxanne had added a lot of rich ingredients that were beneficial to the body.

Bruce frowned even harder.
He looked at the food on the table. There were fresh oysters, grilled salmon, lamb chop, and roasted
vegetables.
These were all very rich food.
During this period, he was already in quite a bad mood. If he ate so much rich food, he would feel even
worse.
“Bruce, eat more.”
“Okay.”
“Take more of the seafood stew. I spent six hours cooking it.”
“All right.”
In the past month, Bruce did not visit Joanna. Neither did he look for other women.
Now that he had eaten such rich food, one could imagine how heat was trapped in his body.
After dinner, Bruce took a shower and got ready to sleep.
As soon as he lay in bed, Roxanne pushed the door open and walked in.
“Bruce.”
Bruce frowned. “Why did you come in?”
“I don’t want to sleep alone.”
Bruce did not respond. He did not turn her away either.
Since the two of them were about to get married, there was no need to maintain any distance.
Seeing that he did not resist, Roxanne snuggled in his bed like a tame rabbit.
She lifted the blanket and lay in his arms.
“Bruce, can we try again tonight?”
Bruce sneered. “Do you think I can’t do it?”
“No, I didn’t mean that.” Roxanne looked nervous.
Bruce did not say anything else. He turned around and pressed her down with his body.
He kissed her lips domineeringly.
Roxanne shed all her pretenses and was very cooperative.
He was indeed feeling very irritable that night.
He needed a woman.
“Bruce.” Roxanne was delirious.
However, at the critical moment, Bruce stopped what he was doing.
He became completely disinterested.
Embarrassed, Roxanne looked at Bruce with disappointment in her eyes. “Bruce.”
The desire in Bruce died suddenly.
It was as if someone had poured ice on his head, completely extinguishing the fire within him.
“Sorry, I’m really tired today.”
He then quickly got off the bed.
What was wrong with him?
Could it be that he was no longer interested in sex?
That was impossible. He was just not interested in Roxanne.
Roxanne lay on the bed feeling awkward. She never thought that this would happen again.
“Looks like he has no sexual desires.”
Roxanne felt a cold chill run down her spine at that thought. Unintentionally, she found herself
comparing Bruce with Gavin.
The more she made the comparison, the more nervous she felt.
Meanwhile, Bruce had changed his clothes.
He took his car keys and drove out of the villa.
It was already eleven o’clock at night.
Joanna was already preparing to go to sleep.
Beep! Beep!
Her phone rang.
Joanna picked it up and took a look. It was Bruce.
She frowned. She did not want to answer his call.
Beep! Beep!
The phone was vibrating non-stop.
Joanna finally answered the call. “Hello.”
Bruce’s grim voice was heard from the other end of the phone. “Where are you?”
“What’s up?”
“I want to see you.”
“Mr. Everett, it’s already past eleven o’clock.”
“I’m drunk. Come and pick me up.”
“Mr. Everett, you should get your secretary or your driver to pick you up at this hour.”
“I’m on the over pass. It’s the place where I threw your phone away. Hurry up, come and get me.”
“Sorry, it’s very late. I’m going to bed.”
Bruce took a deep breath. “Joanna, are you coming?”

“Bruce, what exactly do you want?”
“I’ll give you twenty minutes. If you don’t come, you’ll have to bear the consequences.”
Beep! After saying that, Bruce hung up the phone.
“Hey!”
Joanna was so angry that she cursed, “What a lun atic. What’s wrong with him again?”
However, she did not dare not to meet Bruce. He sounded very unhappy. She did not know what he
would do if he did not see her.
“Miss Haynes, are you going out so late at night?”
“Yes, I have something urgent to attend to.”
“Oh, be careful then. It’s already late at night.”
“Yes, okay.”
Joanna hurriedly left the house.
Twenty minutes later, Joanna arrived at the over pass.
In the distance, she saw a Maybach parked nearby. Bruce was sitting in the car, smoking away.
“Bruce, it’s already so late. Why did you ask me out?”
“Get in the car.”
“Where the hell are you going?”
“I said, get into the car.”
Joanna rolled her eyes and got into the car.
Bang! Bruce locked the car door.
He stepped on the accelerator and sped off.
“Hey, where are you taking me?”
