Chapter 470 Return Of Ex-wife

• “Of course I do!” After returning home, Lilia became particularly excited and chatted non–stop about how she wanted to go to kindergarten and how much she missed her teacher. Davian and Irvin wore forced smiles. They already knew something had happened to their father. Although they didn’t. know the specifics, they were aware that it was something serious. However, in front of their little sister, they didn’t dare show it! “Mommy, when can I go to kindergarten?” Joanna lovingly stroked her daughter’s head. “Darling, you can go to kindergarten as soon as you fully recover from your illness.” “Oh, okay.” “Mommy, Christmas is coming soon. Will Daddy come back?” Joanna’s eyes filled with worry. It had been nine days since Bruce was taken away. Tomorrow was Christmas Eve, a day for family reunions. “Yes, he will come back, Joanna answered, trying to reassure her daughter.
• Lilia blinked her big eyes and coquettishly suggested, “Mommy, can I make a video call to Daddy?” “Daddy is busy with work and might not have time to answer your call,” Joanna replied, trying to manage her daughter’s expectations. “He’ll be back soon after he’s done with work.” “Oh- Lilia buried her head in her food again. Davian and Irvin were also fiddling with the food in their bowls. Their faces were filled with worry and they didn’t have an appetite. Seeing this, Joanna urged them. “Hurry up and eat. You need to go to bed early after dinner.” “Yup!” The children quickly finished a few bites and obediently went back to their rooms to sleep. As the children went to bed, Joanna’s mind started to wander.
• She had been preoccupied with taking care of Lilia at the hospital and hadn’t had a chance to visit Bruce in the detention center. Tomorrow, he would be eligible for bail, and she had to go pick him up. The next day, Joanna arrived at the detention center early in the morning. Bruce’s lawyer had already arranged for his release on bail. He couldn’t leave the country during the appeal period and had to be available for questioning by the police at any time. As he stepped out of the gates of the detention center, Bruce spotted Joanna waiting outside. Their eyes met, and a mixture of sadness and longing filled their gaze. They had not seen each other for more than ten days! Bruce appeared unchanged, except noticeably thinner.
