The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife (Joanna)
Chapter 221

Chapter 221

At 8:30 PM, the door swung open!

A group of maids entered, carrying trays of different sizes.

The trays were filled with a feast fit for a king!

Ms. Chain maintained a gentle and respectful expression. "Madam, this is the nutritious meal instructed by Mr. Everett to prepare for you!"

"I'm not eating!" Joanna seethed with anger and had no appetite.

"Madam, you haven't had lunch! Skipping dinner won't do any good!

"You're just one person, but you have to take care of the nourishment for two!"

"All of you, get out! Give me some time alone!"

The six maids took a step back, their eyes fixed on her as if she were a criminal!

Joanna was fuming with rage!

Bruce had dared to restrict her personal freedom!

"Ms. Chain, I beg you, let me go! I can't stay here..."

Ms. Chain looked helpless. Besides using gentle persuasion, she had no authority to make decisions.

"Madam, please don't worry!

"Mr. Everett doesn't want you to leave. It's for your own well-being! Before he left, he instructed us to serve you with utmost dedication! "From this, it's evident that he truly cares about you! Madam, please listen!"

Joanna parted her lips, ready to retort.

But after a moment's thought, she couldn't be bothered to say anything to them!

They were just following orders. How could they dare to act on their own? Pleading with them was pointless!

"I'm not eating. I have no appetite!"

Joanna meekly returned to bed. She hadn't eaten a morsel all day.

Perhaps it was due to morning sickness, but she didn't feel hungry.

In the blink of an eye, two days had passed.

Joanna had been confined for a full forty-eight hours!

Throughout these two days, the maids had kept a constant watch on her, 24 hours a day. If she did anything to harm herself, the maids would intervene immediately! Even as she slept, the maids remained close by, vigilant in their watch!

This relentless surveillance took a toll on Joanna's mental state!

She was already battling depression and had to take antidepressants every day! Now, after two days without medication, her condition worsened.

Unfortunately, these maids were like mindless machines. No matter what she said, they refused to listen!

After two days. Joanna lost a considerable amount of weight and became even more agitated.

Ms. Chain witnessed the scene unfold and couldn't afford any further delays. She swiftly dialed Bruce's number to give him. an update.

"Mr. Everett, you need to come back right away!"

"What's going on?"

"Madam hasn't eaten or drunk anything in the past two days! No matter how hard we try to persuade her, she refuses to listen!

"And her mental state is extremely unstable! Last night, she was banging on the walls in the bathroom..."

Hearing this, Bruce's anger surged, and his frustration grew.

How did he fail to notice Joanna's stubborn and sharp personality all this time?

"Alright, I understand!"

After ending the call, Bruce wasted no time and hurried over.

"How is Joanna doing?"

"Madam's mood is very poor, sir. You should consider having a doctor examine her!"

Upon hearing this, Bruce went straight upstairs.

As he entered the room, the door creaked as Bruce quietly made his way in.

Joanna had been restless for the past two days, barely getting any sleep. Finally, exhaustion took its toll, and she fell asleep. on the bed.

At that moment, she resembled a sick cat, curled up into a small ball, lying on her side.

Bruce sat by the bed, observing her. Her back was arched, and she appeared frail.

As Bruce continued to watch, he absentmindedly entered a trance.

It had been a while since he had taken such a close look at her.

It had been a while since he had taken such a close look at her.

Bruce couldn't resist reaching out and gently brushing away the disheveled hair from her cheek.

Startled, Joanna slowly opened her beautiful yet weary eyes.

'Bruce...

Realizing that Bruce had arrived, she abruptly sat up, as if infused with newfound energy.

"Bruce, you jerk! Who gave you the right to confine me like this?" Joanna was on the verge of losing her sanity.

She struck out at Bruce and berated him, tears uncontrollably streaming down her face.

Being confined had shattered her emotional stability.

Bruce stood his ground, allowing her to strike and curse at him.

After a while, when her emotions subsided slightly, he calmly said, "Have the child. Once you've given birth, I'll let you

leave."

Gritting her teeth, Joanna glared at Bruce. "Are you out of your mind? We're already divorced. Why should I give birth to this child for you?

"It's not like you haven't given birth before!"

Upon hearing this, Joanna seethed with anger.

How could it be the same?

When she gave birth to her first child, she lost all hope and felt utterly alone in the world.

And now, burdened with various troubles, she had no desire to endure another pregnancy, especially since Roxanne Haynes was also pregnant.

If she and Roxanne gave birth to their children consecutively, the entertainment reporters in Greyport would undoubtedly

create a commotion.

Who knew what kind of storm it would unleash?

"Do the right thing and have the child."

"Bruce, it's impossible, I'm telling you, it's impossible..." Joanna weakly refused.

Ignoring her, Bruce walked directly to the table and said, "Come and eat!".

"I ain't eating, I won't touch my food!

"If you won't let me leave, I'll starve to death right here!"

"Fine!"

Bruce Everett didn't utter another word. He simply grabbed his phone and sent a message.

A moment later, the door swung open once again!

"Mommy...

Davian and Irvin hurriedly entered from outside the door.

The servants also ushered in Lilia!

Upon hearing this, Joanna's heart trembled, and she swiftly turned around!

Davian, Irvin, Lilia!" Joanna struggled to run toward her children!

She hadn't seen them for nearly a month!

"Mommy, we miss you so much!"

"Mommy misses you too! Mommy misses you too!"

Joanna tightly embraced her three children and couldn't help but burst into tears!

The pain she felt was akin to having her flesh sliced!

"Mommy, don't you want us anymore?"

"How could that be? Mommy will always love you, my darlings..."

As Joanna spoke, tears streamed down uncontrollably. Her throat choked, rendering her unable to utter a word!

These were her three children. They were the most precious beings to her! Even with her current pregnancy, they meant more to her than anything, even more than Davian and the others.

"Mommy, please don't cry. Don't cry anymore. Davian tenderly reached out his warm hand and wiped away her tears!

Lilia couldn't hold back her tears either. "Mommy, did you have a fight with Daddy again?"

"Can you guys stop arguing?"

Bruce listened, and his heart ached even more!

"Daddy, don't fight with Mommy, okay?"

"Be good, Lilia. Daddy and Mommy didn't have a fight!

"Daddy and Mommy are just... playing games!" Bruce lied through his teeth!

However, the lie was so terrible that the children couldn't believe it!.

"Mommy, we want to be with you. We don't want to be with this mean person anymore!"

Bruce's face fell. Upon seeing that, Davian burst into tears and didn't dare to say anything else!

"Alright, Mommy is tired. You guys should go back!"

"Bruce, I beg you, let me be with the children!

"Don't take the children away from me again. You can't be so heartless!"

"So, you can just cruelly terminate your pregnancy?" Bruce asked.

"Bruce Everett implore you, don't do this! What do I have to do for you to let me go?"

"I told you to behave and have the baby."

"Don't force me like this. I'm begging you, don't force me like this!"

"Take the children away!"

"Yes, Mr. Everett!"

"Kids, we're going back!"

"We don't want to go back. We want to be with Mommy!

"Mommy, we want to be with you!"

"Bruce, you were always so heartless! Can't you let me stay with the children a little longer?"

"As long as you behave, I'll let you see the children again! If you don't listen to me, you'll get hurt before you see them!"

"Bring the children up." Bruce instructed the servant.

"Yes!"

A few servants stepped forward and forcefully carried Davian and Irvin away. Lilia was also pushed aside! Joanna was powerless to protect her child. All she could do was watch as her children were taken away!

"Bruce Everett, I hate you. Why are you doing this to me? How could you?"

"Dry your tears and come over to eat! Quick!" Bruce commanded.

"I can't eat..."

"You have to eat!

"If you're obedient, I'll get the children to come and see you tomorrow! If you still defy me, I'll send the children overseas

tomorrow!"
