The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife (Joanna)
Chapter 383

Chapter 383

Joanna Haynes hesitated for a while but did not answer the call.

When he saw this, Jaydon Grimm was curious. "Why aren't you answering your phone?"

"It's fine! It's a scam call."

"Oh... Jaydon's eyes flickered but he didn't ask any more questions.

"Joann, do you have anything else to do this afternoon?"

Joanna paused momentarily. "What's wrong?"

"We're getting married next week! I think it's better to meet your father and tell him the good news!"

When Joanna heard this, she kept quiet but a hint of melancholy appeared in her eyes.

To be honest, her relationship with her father was so strained that she didn't expect him to give his blessing, let alone attend her wedding. "Joann, I know you are not willing to see him. But he's your father after all. It's better to inform him about something as important as marriage." Joanna couldn't help giving a sigh. "Alright!"

After all, she was getting married. It was better to inform her father.

As for whether he gave his blessings or not, it didn't matter anymore.

"Then you can start packing up!"

"Mm-hmmm!"

Joanna went to the washroom to wash her face and tidy her hair.

Thereafter, she gave Fantine a call.

"Hello, Fantine!"

Fantine's voice rang out from the other end of the line. "Miss Joanna, what can I do for you?"

Joanna hesitated for a few seconds. Then she braced herself and asked, "Is Dad still in the hospital?"

"Yes!"

"Tell Dad that I'll go and visit him in the afternoon!"

"Oh, alright, Miss Joanna!"

At four in the afternoon, the couple reached the hospital.

Joanna and Jaydon brought fruits and various nutritional supplements to the hospital.

In the ward, Shaun Haynes lay quietly on the bed.

Right now, half of his body could not move, and he could not speak legibly. He could only lay on the bed all day long.

Joanna walked softly to the bed. "Dad, I'm here to visit you!"

When Shaun heard the voice, he opened his eyes slightly and looked at Joanna. Then, he let out a deep breath and muttered something. However, no one knew what he was saying.

"Dad, Jay and I are getting married!"

Jaydon walked forward with a smile. "Hello, Mr. Haynes. On the 9th of this month, Joann and I will hold our wedding in

Venturas!

"Today, we came here especially to tell you the good news."

When Shaun heard this, his eyes rotated slightly.

He had mixed feelings inwardly, and his heart was filled with sorrow and resentment.

Why was the heavens doing this to him?

This unfilial daughter was indeed here to demand payback! If she had married Jaydon Grimm earlier, Roxy would not have ended up this way.

And the Haynes family would not have fallen into such a state.

Chapter 383

"Oof, oof, oof. Ugh, ugh..." Shaun mumbled incoherently for a long time.

Jaydon and Joanna could not hear what he said clearly. The two of them looked at each other. "Dad, what do you want to say?"

Shaun's face became flushed. He raised his hand but could not utter a single word clearly. However, he seemed very agitated and did not seem to be giving his blessing. When she saw this, Fantine hurriedly went forward to calm him down. "Mr. Haynes, don't be so agitated

"Miss Joanna and Mr. Grimm's marriage is joyous news! We should be happy for them."

She had served Shaun for so many years, so she naturally understood his thoughts the best.

Sometimes, even if it was just a look from Shaun, she could understand what he was trying to say.

Joanna looked at Fantine with a baffled expression. "Fantine, what is Dad trying to say?"

Fantine looked a little embarrassed. "Oh, Mr. Haynes is happy for you! He's giving his blessing to you two for tying the

knot!"

Joanna subconsciously looked at her father wordlessly.

He looked like he wanted to strangle her. He didn't look happy at all.

"Dad, your health isn't good, and it's not convenient for you to attend the wedding. I'm now informing you up front as an expression of my respect for you."

"Dad, rest and recover well. We'll leave first!"

"Oof, oof. Argh, argh..." Shaun was so anxious that he couldn't speak clearly. His eyes were about to pop out of their sockets.

He still held a huge grudge against Joanna!

This unfilial daughter was going to marry Jaydon Grimm in the end, but she was still entangled with Bruce Everett. She had ruined her younger sister's whole life and happiness. He simply could not give his blessings to this daughter.

"Jay, let's go!"

Jaydon leaned over and shook Shaun's hand again. He said politely, "Mr. Haynes, don't worry. I will treat Joann well!"

When Shaun heard this, his turbid eyes turned ferociously to Jaydon. Then, he turned his head to the side as if he was angry.

This unfilial daughter was so capable!

up

He wasn't worried that Joanna wouldn't have a good life at all. He only cared about Roxy, who was locked in the mental hospital, and Ryan Haynes, whose whereabouts were unknown! "Fantine, please take good care of Dad. Call me if you need anything."

"Yes, Miss Joanna!"

"Then we'll go off first!"

"Goodbye."

Without saying anything else, the couple left the ward one after another.

Back in the car, Jaydon frowned.

He looked at Joanna with a somewhat worried expression. "Joann, are you really not letting your father attend the wedding?" Joanna also looked sad. "No need! It's also not convenient for him to attend the wedding in his current state."

"Oh, alright! Then... come back to Venturas with me tomorrow!"

Joanna was taken aback. "Go back to Venturas?"

Jaydon smiled faintly. "That's right. Marriage is such a major thing. You definitely have to meet my father and the rest of my family!"

"Oh, okay!"

"Then get ready tonight. We'll leave first thing in the morning."

Joanna tried her best to squeeze out a smile. "Mm-hmm. I got it."

Jaydon immediately started the car and said somewhat uneasily. "By the way, there are many people in my family. I have many more brothers and sisters, and more elders.

"It's inevitable that some of them will say unpleasant things. If you don't like what they say, just ignore them!"

Chapter 383

Joanna was surprised when she heard that.

Thereafter, she collected herself.

The Grinum family was a complicated family. Other than Jaydon's more than a dozen siblings, he also had numerous paternal uncles and aunts, and maternal aunts!

As for second wife and third wife and so on, there were at least five or six of them.

In particular, when Joanna met Jaydon's family previously, his younger sister was very rude to her. Now that she heard him say this, the other family members were probably even more difficult to get along

with.

"Jay. I'm afraid I may not be able to handle it..." Joanna said nervously.

"It's okay. Don't worry! I'll take care of everything."

Joanna's skin tensed up. She was most terrified of dealing with complicated interpersonal relationships. "Will they not accept

me?"

Jaydon smiled. "No. As long as I accept you, it doesn't matter whether the others accept you or not!

"Marriage is between the two of us. It has nothing to do with anyone else."

Joanna's head hurt even more when she heard that!

From the looks of it, Jaydon had yet to obtain the approval of his family for their marriage.

Oh, okay then!"

"Then let's have dinner! After dinner, we'll go to the movies. What do you want to eat?"

Joanna gave a soft sigh. "Er... I'm a little tired. I want to go back early and rest."

"Not eating dinner?"

"I'm not hungry at all now. I just want to go back and have a good sleep."

As he looked at Joanna's tired appearance, Jaydon stroked her head with heartache. "Alright then! Go back and have a good sleep. Rest well. You still have to go back to Venturas with me tomorrow morning.

"Mm-hmm. Got it."

Jaydon didn't say anything else. He turned the car around and sent Joanna home.

Joanna finally reached home.

By then, it was already 9 pm.

Miranda was still waiting in the living room. When she saw Joanna return, she quickly came over to help Joanna with her bag. "Joann, you're back!"

"Mm-hmmm!"

"Have you eaten?"

Joanna shook her head. "I'm not hungry."

"I made some macaroni and cheese earlier. If you're hungry, let me know. I'll heat up a plate of macaroni and cheese for you."

"I'm going to take a nap now," Joanna said and walked straight to her room.

"Joann, aren't you going to take a shower?"

"I'll do it after I wake up!" Joanna said as she closed the door and fell heavily onto the bed.

She was really too tired and felt physically and mentally exhausted.

If she could, she really wanted to fall into bed and sleep for ten days and ten nights.

Unfortunately, the moment she touched her bed, all vestiges of sleepiness vanished.

"I wonder how Bruce is doing now?" she thought.

He was swift and decisive in the business arena and could slay his way through thousands of miles. Many cunning business big shots could not withstand a single blow from him.

However, his personality was sometimes like a child's. He would not stop until he achieved his goal.

"Don't think too much about it. It's better to make an end of it quickly. There will be better women around him who will

love him."
