The Unstoppable Comeback Of the Unrivaled Ex-Wife
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.
CHAPTER 159
It was already late at night when they arrived at the Baldwin residence. The place was an Elizabethan- era courtyard building, and was divided into four courtyards in the south, east, north, and west. Each courtyard was elegantly decorated with pavilions, carved railings, and jade.
Joanna's room was in the East courtyard, next to Justin's.
"Brat, you'd better be a good host and help Joan settle in so she'll start envisioning this place as her home." Sophia ordered Justin solemnly before she went back to her room to rest.
"Don't worry, Mum, I'll take good care of my girlfriend," Justin sighed.
"Hmm. Since she's your girlfriend, the two of you should be staying in the same room. Why get a separate room?"
"Mom, I told you that she's shy. We're not married yet, so how can we stay in a room together?" With that, Justin gently pushed Sophia out of the room and said, "Go to sleep. We want to spend time together."
