Aria felt a pang of pain in her heart after hearing Bruce’s response.
Perhaps, she had overestimated her importance to him.
In fact, he and his wife were the ones truly in love, and she had been overthinking.

“Let’s leave it at that for now. Goodbye,” Bruce hung up the phone without waiting for her response. He
subsequently instructed the butler to fetch Aria from Riverview
Although his actions might have seemed a bit ungentlemanly, he did not wan anything.
and arranged for her to stay at a six-star hotel.

to overthink or misunderstand
Three o’clock in the afternoon.
Mr. Jameson arrived at the hospital as promised.
“Hello, Mr. Everett. Hello, Miss Haynes.”
Joanna was a bit taken aback by Mr. Jameson’s arrival, as she had never expected that Bruce was
being serious about this.
“Mr. Jameson.”
Bruce sat on the couch and casually gestured to the seat beside him. “Please have a seat.”
Mr. Jameson smiled politely and took a seat on the leather couch.
“Mr. Everett, you mentioned on the phone that you want me to draft a prenuptial agreement, right?”
“Yes.”
Mr. Jameson then opened his briefcase and pulled out a prenuptial agreement template.
“Mr. Everett, this is the template for the prenuptial agreement. You can take a look at it first, and if there
are any additional clauses you want to include, we can add them later.”
The lawyer had handled so many agreements of such nature, so he was aware that the content was
always roughly the same.
It was common for wealthy individuals to protect their existing assets by signing prenuptial agreements.
In case of a divorce, they made sure that their pre-marital assets remained untouched by their
spouses.
Wealthy individuals were always shrewd and cautious, ensuring their properties were safeguarded.
Bruce took the agreement and glanced at it, his eyebrows furrowing slightly. “I asked you to draft a
prenuptial agreement,
but not this kind.”
Mr. Jameson gazed at him in confusion.
After all, such agreements were designed to ensure the assets of the wealthy were protected to the
fullest extent.
Bruce pursed his lips and said solemnly, “Draw up a prenuptial agreement where all my assets are
shared with my wife.”
Mr. Jameson was immensely shocked.
He could not believe what he had just heard.
This was highly unusual, after all.
It was especially so for a billionaire like Bruce. If he signed such an agreement, it would mean giving
away half of his assets to his wife.
In the event of a divorce, his spouse would have an unconditional right to claim half of his wealth.
He wondered why a wise man like Mr. Everett would make sure an irrational decision.
“Mr. Everett, what did you just say? Can you repeat it?” Mr. Jameson asked for repetition, fearing that
he had misheard.
“Oh, I called you here today to help us draft a prenuptial agreement. Also, to assist with the remarriage
procedures.”
Mr. Jameson took a few seconds to regain his composure, as he had never encountered such a
request before. “Alright, Mr. Everett.”
Bruce pondered and said, “Clause one: after marriage, all my assets are to be shared with my wife. In
the event that I have an affair, I will voluntarily give up all my assets…”
Pfft.
Mr. Jameson was startled again.
At this moment, he speculated that Mr. Everett might have gone crazy or had some sort of mental
illness.
He discreetly glanced at Bruce, who appeared exceedingly serious, showing no sign of joking.
“Uh, alright. Mr. Everett, please continue.”
Mr. Jameson hurriedly took out a recording pen to make notes while nodding incessantly.
Bruce proceeded to add a few more clauses to the agreement.
None of them were in his favor; instead, they maximally protected the interests of his wife.
“Mr. Everett, you must carefully consider the implications of these clauses. Once the agreement is
signed, it will be legally enforceable.”
“I know.”
“Alright then! I’ll prepare the agreement and send it to your email later. If there are no issues, both
parties can sign it, and then we can have it notarized at the notary office.”
“Good, please have it done as soon as possible.” Bruce nodded.
“Understood, Mr. Everett.”
“And regarding the remarriage procedures, please take care of that as well.”
Mr. Jameson replied with utmost seriousness, “Certainly, it will take approximately a week. Kindly
provide me with the identification documents of both parties, and I will make copies of them.”
Bruce’s expression remained serious as he said, “I’ll have my secretary send them to you later.”
“Alright, Mr. Everett. I’ll leave now. By next Sunday, I will have the agreements and remarriage
procedures completed,” Mr. Jameson said politely as he stood up.
“Okay, take care.”
Mr. Jameson did not say much more, heading toward the door as soon as he picked up his briefcase.
These matters were left to the lawyers to handle. Now, it was only a matter of time. After all, such
agreements had to be notarized, printed, and recorded.
The entire process would take at least a week.
After Mr. Jameson had left.
Joanna looked at Bruce in astonishment, unable to believe what had just happened. “Bruce, you… you
really mean it?”
He gazed tenderly at her and smiled affectionately. “Of course, I never joke about such things.”
She remained stunned, staring at him like a deer in headlights.
She was in disbelief that he wanted to share all his assets with her, even transferring a substantial
portion of the Everett Group’s business to her name.
Besides, it included the Haynes Group, which had previously been acquired.
“What? You still don’t believe that I love you?”
She was left speechless, unsure of what to say.
There was a saying.
“A man who spends money on you may not necessarily love you. But a man who refuses to spend
money on you definitely doesn’t love you.”
In other words, a man’s heart was where his money was.
If a man was willing to entrust all his money to his woman, it displayed his sincere intention to spend
his life with her.
Although Joanna did not care a lot about material things, she was still moved by his gesture.
“Bruce, you better think it through. Don’t regret it later.”
He chuckled. “I’ve thought it through. I won’t regret it.”
She pouted, speaking with some annoyance, “If you ever do something wrong after we get married or
have an affair with another woman, I’ll…”
Before she could finish, he gently rubbed her head and said with a chuckle, “Don’t worry, I won’t betray
us. If I ever do something to hurt you, I’ll leave with nothing, and all the money and assets will be left for
you and the children.”
She glared at him as she had not finished speaking yet.
His eagerness to make these promises made her feel as if she cared too much about material things.
“Bruce, then let’s establish some ground rules. Once we’re married, you must not betray me, or hurt me
or the children. And you must never lie to me.”
He nodded seriously. “Alright, I promise. I also want to establish some ground rules with you.”
“Go ahead!”
His expression turned serious, and he said with some irritation, “First, you must not betray me. You
must not love anyone except me.”
“Of course,” she replied without any hesitation.
“Second, no more silent treatment or disappearing without a word.”
“Um… I’ll try not to give you the silent treatment, but you can’t purposely provoke me,” she said,
glancing at him.
“Third, no more meeting with that jerk Jaydon.”
She looked at him with an expression of helplessness.
She had no idea that he took Jaydon so seriously.
“I told you, Jay and I are really just friends.”
He frowned, sternly saying, “I don’t care if you’re just friends or ex-lovers. From today onward, you
can’t meet him alone, and you must not contact him behind my back. Even if you want to meet him, I
must be present.”
“What if you’re not around?”
“Then
you can’t meet him.”
She was speechless.
“I’m talking to you. Did you hear me?”
“I heard you!”
“But you haven’t said anything yet!”
She sighed helplessly, “Alright, I promise you. I won’t meet him alone or contact him behind your back,
okay?”
“What if you can’t keep your promise?” He still could not find. peace of mind.
“Well, then what do you suggest?”
He furrowed his eyebrows, a hint of melancholy appearing on his handsome face.
There was a long silence.
“Just as you said, we are both adults, and we need to restrain our behaviors in many aspects. If you
meet him behind my back, I can only say that I’ll be very sad.”
She
gave a wry smile. “Okay, I understand what you mean. Don’t worry! I’ll keep my promise and won’t let
you down.”
“Honey, starting today, let’s cherish and trust each other wholeheartedly. Let’s take care of each other
and not let others’ words sway our feelings. Misunderstandings should have no place between us, eh?
Whenever conflicts arise, let’s communicate openly and honestly, instead of resorting to threats of
breaking up or divorce.”
“Yep!”
