Chapter 1050
“Then you have to keep your word. Don’t lie to me.” Joanna’s voice softened.
“I swear to you that I won’t lie to you. No matter what, I will protect myself and go home safely,” Bruce promised
her solemnly.
When Joanna heard this, her eyes could not help but turn red. “…Then I’ll trust you once more.
“If you dare to lie to me again, I won’t forgive you in the future.”
“Well, I definitely won’t lie to you.”
Joanna thought about it and was still angry. “Also, I don’t care what you’re doing with Aria. You can’t give her any
wrong hints,” she said.
“What wrong hints?”
“Hmph, she just called me. She said that she still loves you very much and that I shouldn’t be angry with you.
“Do you think I should be angry with you?” Joanna asked him angrily.
“It’s my fault. It’s all my fault. As long as you’re angry, it must be my fault.” Bruce acted as if he was a hen-pecked
husband.
He was also at fault, of course. He shouldn’t have carried Aria. He could have let others hold her, but why did he
have to do it himself?
However, it happened so suddenly that he really did not think of it.
“So, you have to keep a good distance from her and stop letting her imagination. run wild.
“Well, if you really want to develop something with her, you can tell me directly, of course. I’ll fulfill your wish.”
“Honey, what are you talking about again?” Bruce frowned.
This Aria was really annoying.
He had already rejected her clearly so many times. Why was she still self-sentimental?
“Honey, don’t listen to her nonsense. No matter what she says, just think of her as a crazy woman.
“Don’t worry, I won’t have any thoughts about her. I’ll go home immediately after
I’m done with work.”
“Okay, then. That’s it.”
“Is everything all right at home?”
Joanna shook her head. “Yes, there’s nothing wrong.”
“Miss me. You have to miss me every day.”

Joanna sighed angrily. “What’s the use of missing you? Can you come back immediately just because I miss you?”
“Silly girl, you can’t block my phone number and Messenger whenever you’re mad at me in the future. Add my
Messenger back. I want to video call you and see Lilia.”
As he spoke, Bruce sent a friend request to Joanna.
He finally added her again on Messenger.
Bruce couldn’t wait to start a video call.
Joanna also called Lilia over. The father and daughter were close, so, they had to call each other.
of course,
In the video, Lilia smiled brightly and waved at her daddy. “Hello, Daddy.”
Seeing her daughter’s cute look, Bruce’s heart seemed to have melted into cotton candy. “Baby, my sweetheart,
what are you doing?”
“Nothing.”
“Is your leg getting better? Does it still hurt?”
“It doesn’t hurt anymore. Mommy said she’ll bring me to Gaprington to remove the orthodontics next month. When
my leg recovers, I can learn ballet.”
Bruce smiled so happily that wrinkles appeared on his handsome face. “That’s great. Daddy will find the best dance
teacher for you.”
“Okay, thank you, Daddy. When are you coming back? I miss you so much!” “Well, Daddy will be back in a month or
two.”
The father and daughter were chatting intimately when Devin bit the pacifier and walked over to the video in a
daze.
“Daddy…”
Bruce could not help but laugh when he saw his youngest son’s cute and chubby appearance. “Devin, what are you
eating?”
“Apple,” Joanna replied.
The multi-purpose pacifier bite was filled with a few pieces of apple. It was a miracle for babies. They could use it to
grind their teeth, eat some small fruits, or use them as a pacifier.
Bruce snorted and laughed. “You only like eating all day long. Be careful not to become a little fatty.”
“Where are Davian and Irvin? Where did those two brats go?”
“They’re doing their homework in the room. I’ll call them out.”
“Davian, Irvin, come here…”
Three minutes later, Davian and Irvin also ran over from the room.
Irvin was the first to approach the screen. Because he was changing his teeth, two

of his front teeth had already fallen off, and new ones had yet to grow.
It seemed that he was less handsome than before and was more mischievous.
“Daddy, did you buy us a Transformers figurine?”
“All you do is ask for toys.”
In the video, Joanna and the four children took turns chatting with him.
The family chatted happily. Bruce looked at the screen and his eyes could not help but turn red.
In the future, he did not know if he would have the chance to reunite with his family again.
“Okay, Daddy, we’re going to do our homework.”
“Okay, go! The two of you are big brothers and little men. Be good at home and listen to Mommy. You have to learn
to protect Mommy and your sister.”
“Got it, Daddy.”
After saying that, the two little guys ran back to their rooms to do their homework.
“Honey, I love you.”
“Alright, stop being so mushy.”
“Say you love me.”
“Love you. Is that okay?”
Bruce looked dissatisfied. “It’s not affectionate at all. You’re being too perfunctory.”
“Bruce, I love you.”
“I can’t hear you. Louder.”
Joanna’s face tensed up. “Get lost. Don’t push your luck.”
“Aha, I’m hanging up.”
After hanging up, Bruce’s eyes turned even redder.
At this moment, he really wanted to go home and stay with his wife and children.
But he knew that he had an even more important mission and duty on his
shoulders.

arrived.
After dinner, Bruce and the others prepared to rest.
They would be going to no man’s land tomorrow. They had to conserve their
energy and go to bed early today.
Darcy looked at Bruce nervously. “Mr. Everett, well… Grace…”
Bruce did not raise his head as he said casually, “Let her stay there for a few more days. I’ve instructed the butler
to take good care of her.”

“But…” Darcy wanted to say something but stopped. He looked at Bruce pitifully. Bruce knew what he meant and
glared at him. “We’re going to no man’s land tomorrow. If I let her out now, do you think she’ll be willing to go
home obediently?”
Darcy frowned when he heard that.
Indeed, a clingy girl like Grace would definitely follow him to no man’s land.
But it was too dangerous there. It was too inconvenient to bring her along. “Then, let her stay in there for a few
days. When we leave, we’ll send her back to the country.”
“Okay, don’t worry! I’ve already instructed.”
“… Mr. Everett, I, can I meet her tonight?” Darcy stuttered again.
“You still want to see her? Hmph, dream on.” Bruce rejected mercilessly.
As the boss, he had to endure loneliness. So how could he let Darcy be happy?
No way.
The next day, they got ready and prepared to set off.
“Come on. Let’s go.”
“Bruce…” Aria looked at Bruce eagerly.
“Well, you and Jason will be in the same car.”
Aria looked at him in disappointment.
She still wanted to be in the same car with him. It was a few hundred miles away. She still wanted to spend as much
time with him as possible.
“You guys head to the camp first. I’ll go look for the microchip directly,” Bruce said directly.
“Bruce, I’ll go with you.”
“There’s no need. It’ll be troublesome if there are too many people. I’ll bring Darcy and my men. You guys can wait
at the camp for news.”
“Bruce!” Aria wanted to say something else, but Bruce had already gotten into the
car.
