Chapter 702
When Joanna and Bruce got back to the dining room, the food on the table was already cold.
Joanna did not think it was a big deal. She picked up the fork and was about to eat.
As she was pregnant, she needed to eat immediately when she felt hungry.
When Bruce found that the dishes had turned cold, he immediately said to the maid beside him, “Linda,
go heat it up. Also, this and this. Heat them all up.”
“Alright, Mr. Everett.”
Joanna frowned. “It’s fine. There’s no need to heat them up…”
However, before she could finish speaking, Bruce interrupted her, “How can that do? You’ll get a
stomachache if you eat something cold.
“Have some snacks first,” Bruce handed her a plate of snacks as he spoke.
“Uh, alright!” Joanna said.
After Joanna had lunch, the children gathered around them cheerfully again.
Joanna was sitting on the sofa while Bruce was leaning against her intimately.
Davian and Irvin kept talking like little birds chirping by Joanna’s side.
“That’s great. We have Dad and Mom to play with us today.”
Irvin asked with a sly smile on his face, “Dad, Mom, it will be our birthday soon. What gift are you
preparing for us?”
Last year, Bruce gave each of the three kids a fund worth billions of dollars.
Thus, even if Everett Group went bankrupt in the future, the children would be able to live comfortably
for the rest of their lives.
However, the kids were too young to understand their father’s intention and they preferred their
birthday gifts to be toys.
“You guys’ birthday is coming so soon?”
The three kids nodded in unison. “That’s right! It’s already November!”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Alright! We’ll definitely prepare some gifts for you when the time comes.”
“Mom, can you tell us what gift you’re going to give us this year?
“Last year, Dad gave each of us a document. We can’t eat or play with it.
“Don’t fool us this year. It’s best if you buy us toys.”
“That’s right! Dad was so stingy that he gave each of us a shitty piece of paper as a birthday gift.
Hmph!”
“I want a laptop,” Davian then told Joanna the brand of the laptop.
The computers of this brand were commonly used by hackers and were equipped with the most
advanced hardware.
Irvin echoed, “Mom, you promised to buy me a dog previously. Can you buy me one for my birthday
this year?”
“Mom, I like Barbie dolls.”
“Alright, alright! I’ll buy them for you guys.”
The kids were overjoyed when they heard that. “Mom is the best. We love you the most.”
“Dad, look, Mom is much more generous than you. She won’t give us a piece of paper as a birthday
gift.”
Bruce was speechless.
The assets he gave each of the children were worth billions of dollars, but they couldn’t be compared
with a toy in their
eyes.
Joanna laughed out loud. “Fortunately, your dad’s mind is not clear now.
“If he returned to normal and heard what you just said, he would probably cough up a mouthful of blood
from anger.”
The kids burst into laughter as well. “We like Dad the way he is now!
“At least he’s not as fierce as before and he will play with us.”
It had been a long time since Joanna was last so happy. She laughed so hard that tears almost popped
out.
Watching them laugh, Bruce secretly rolled his eyes and complained in his heart.
“Hmph! Keep laughing. Seems like you guys really think I’m an idiot.
“I’ll see if you can still laugh out loud when I suddenly return to normal in front of you one day.”
After laughing for a while, Joanna let out a sigh and he pulled Lilia into her arms.
Lilia was already more than seven years old.
Joanna planned to take her to Gaprington for corrective surgery last year. However, too many things
had happened in the past two years, and until now, she had not had the time to carry out her plan yet.
“Oh, poor baby.”
Lilia punched her calf and looked at her mom cutely. “Mom, when will you take me overseas for
corrective surgery?”
Joanna pondered for a few seconds and said seriously, “Well, after the baby is born, Dad and I will take
you for the surgery no matter what.”
“Mom, Lilia will be able to walk normally after the surgery, right?”
“Most likely.”
“Really?”
“Of course. The doctor said Lilia had a good chance of recovery.”
“Wow! That’s great! Our sister can play soccer with us then!”
As Davian spoke, he looked at Joanna’s belly with a serious expression. “Mom, is the baby in your
womb a boy or a girl?”
“It’s probably a girl,” Joanna replied casually.
Actually, she did not know the gender of the fetus either.
Although she could ask the doctor about it during the prenatal checkup, she did not do so.
She did not want to know the child’s gender in advance.
“It must be a girl.”
Irvin blinked his big round eyes and said happily, “I think it’s a girl as well. We all like girls. it must be a

“I think the same way.” Joanna smiled and stroked her bulging belly as she spoke.
Bruce listened from the side and raised his eyebrows resentfully.
He had already secretly asked the doctor.
Joanna was having a boy, so his dream of having another considerate daughter was shattered.
He would have one more troublemaker.
People often said that their sons were born to cause them trouble. It seemed like he would have one
more “enemy”.
“By the way, Mom, have you thought of a name for my little sister?”
“That’s right. What should we name her?”
When Joanna heard this, she looked at Bruce, who had been ignored by the kids, and asked with
interest, “Bruce, what do you think?”
“Uh..” Bruce rolled his eyes.
“Mom, why don’t we each give our sister a name?”
“How about Flora?” Davian said.
When Irvin and Lilia heard this, they said with disgust. “It is too old-fashioned.”
“Well, her sister’s name is Lilia. How about we call her Dara?”
“Dara?” Joanna raised an eyebrow.
The name sounded a little like Lilia. It was not bad.
Of course, it was a nickname.
They would give the baby an official name later.
When Bruce heard this, he scratched his head resentfully.
The child was about to be born, so it was time to give him a name.
Davian and Irvin had already changed their surnames back to Haynes, and Bruce’s grandmother
especially asked a wizard to name them.
Bruce had already thought of a name for the baby.
He wanted to call him Jaime. Although it sounded a little old-fashioned, the meaning behind it was
“May God protect.”
