Chapter 699
Bruce lowered his head and kissed the top of Joanna’s head, saying foolishly, “Honey, the most important thing for you now is to recuperate so that you can give birth to the baby smoothly. Don’t worry about anything else. No matter what happens, I’ll be there for you.”
Joanna leaned against his chest and quietly wrapped her arms around his waist.
Bruce often said this in the past, but she had never taken it to heart. However, this time, she felt at ease to hear that though he was not clear-headed.

“Honey, there’s nothing to be worried about. The sky won’t fall. I’m taller than you. Even if it fell, it would hit head first.”
Although Bruce was smiling like an idiot, there was an unfathomable glint in his eyes.
Now, he just wanted to play a game with those people. He was waiting for them to fall into his trap and suffer a huge
setback.
Bruce wasn’t someone who was easy to mess with.
He would never go easy on those who schemed against him.
He wrapped her arms around Joanna dotingly and kept stroking her back.
Now that he could not have sex with her for the time being, he took it for granted that he should get some benefits as compensation.
Although Joanna was born with a small frame, she had a curvy, soft body.
Her chest was busty, especially after she was pregnant. When Bruce hugged her, he never wanted to let go of her.
Joanna was originally sad and worried, but when she felt the obvious change in Bruce’s body, she couldn’t help but yell, “You are so annoying. Get your hands off my body!”
“Honey, since you don’t agree to sleep with me, you have to make it up to me.”
With that, Bruce pulled Joanna into his arms dotingly like he was petting a cute ragdoll.
Joanna was speechless.
“Damn it! What a shameless jerk!” she cursed inwardly.
She had never seen such a shameless man.
“Come on, can you stop touching me?”
“No. Honey, I want a kiss!”
After Bruce finished speaking, he was about to kiss Joanna despite her reluctance.
“Oh my god!”
The three kids walked over and saw their dad and mom hugging each other intimately.
They quickly covered their eyes and began to complain.
“Dad, how can you make out with Mom here?”
“That’s right! You should kiss her in your bedroom, then we won’t see it.”

When Joanna heard this, she pushed Bruce away grumpily. “Stop fooling around. The children are here. Behave yourself in front of them in the future.”
“Why? You’re my wife. Can’t I kiss you?” Bruce said shamelessly.
Joanna rolled her eyes without saying anything.
“Sweethearts, are you done eating?”
The kids nodded. “Yes, we are done. Mom, you haven’t had anything yet. The food will get cold a while later.”
Joanna let out a sigh and said, “I’m not hungry. I’m full of anger.”
“Mom, did Dad make you angry again? Do you want us to hit him for you?”
When Joanna heard this, she could not help but smile in relief. “Good boys. You’re Mom’s little warriors.”
Davian and Irvin laughed and were certain that their dad had bullied their mom just now.
They turned to Bruce and made the gesture of Ultraman fighting a monster.
Seeing this, Bruce chuckled. “You heartless brats, get lost. Don’t interrupt my romantic time with my wife.”
“You are so cheeky!
“Hurry up and let go of me. I’m going to eat.”
“Honey, I’ll go with you,” Bruce said.
Joanna ignored him and walked towards the dining room with a smile.
Bruce followed behind her.
When they were about to reach the dining room, the phone in Joanna’s pocket buzzed again.
She took out the phone and looked at it.
It was Jaydon.
Joanna frowned and unwittingly glanced at Bruce.
It had been more than two months since Jaydon last called her. He must be calling her for something important.
Bruce was playing with the children and didn’t notice Joanna’s reaction.
“You guys play with Dad. I will go answer the call.”
“Okay, Mom.” After the three kids finished speaking, they played around Bruce cheerfully again.
Although Bruce had mental problems, Joanna still did not want to answer Jaydon’s call in front of him.
She left the living room and walked to the lawn outside the house.
“Hey, Jay!”
On the other end of the line, Jaydon paused for a few seconds before he spoke, “Joann.”
Hearing the worry in Jaydon’s voice, Joanna frowned and asked with concern, “Jay, what’s wrong? Did something happen?”
“Nothing happened. I’m calling to see if you’ve been doing well recently.”
When Joanna heard this, she looked back into the house and saw Bruce still playing with the children through the large floor-to-ceiling glass window.
“I’m fine. You don’t have to worry.
“What about you? How have you been?”
Jaydon fell silent again.
He was very upset these days.
Tim asked him to work in the family business.
He did not want to join the family business, but Tim showed no intention to compromise. He said he wanted Jaydon to accumulate experience at work and even made him the company’s vice president.
Grimm Group specialized in three major gambling businesses, the largest of which was managed by Cassius.
Now, Tim appointed Jaydon as the vice president of the company. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that he wanted Jaydon to replace Cassius.
