Regret soon consumed Ace after the divorce. He never expected that his boring ex-wife would move on overnight, and be living her best life. Not only did a young heir of an influential family claim to be her underling, but a famous celebrity confessed to being her fan as well. Even one of the wealthiest people in the country referred to her as their senior. “I don't care how strong your background is, Joanna Pierce. I'll make sure to tear down your walls!” With that, the second son of the Moran family set out to protect the woman in secret. Ace: "My ex-wife is so fragile that she can't even stand on her own two feet, you mustn't take advantage of her." To which everyone replied, "Who would dare to mess with her? She'd rip our heads off if we ever get into a minor disagreement!' Ace : "My ex-wife is far too naive, you shouldn't toy with her feelings" And yet people would say, "I’m sorry? We've never seen a naive woman act so unapologetically!' Ace: "Come, darling. Let me introduce you to this powerful figure!" To which the powerful figure responded with a deep bow, "No, no, she's the boss around these parts!” Since then, Ace has had to live a double life. He was an almighty CEO during the day, but come night time,he'd be sobbing on his knees, hoping to win Joanna's heart back.
Ace looked at Joanna and smiled. "What do you think, Miss Pierce?"
Joanna rolled her eyes out of anger. "You're all sick. Do we even know each other that well? Why would a bunch of guys have the audacity to ask a woman to roast food for them? I…"
"That's true!' Ace smiled vaguely. "After all, you used up a lot of your energy last night. It's such a pity that I…"
"Shut up!" Seeing how Ace was about to take off his robe, Joanna quickly cut him off. "Fine, I'll do it!"
She wanted to discuss something in private with Ethan anyway.
There were various ingredients, and a barbecue grill on the green field made up part of the vast backyard.
The sun was blazed with fury. Ace and the other men sat on deck chairs under the canopy, and chatted.
Joanna, on the other hand, sat in front of the barbecue grill, roasting food for them. She had a sour expression on her face.
