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.
But right now, she felt like she did not know him that well at all. She did not know what he was thinking and what he really wanted.
"Can you say something that I can understand, please? What does "a real and authentic" wife mean? What does "a wife that only belongs to you" mean?"
Joanna could not understand what Ace was trying to express. She said impatiently, "Let's keep this simple. What do you want? What do you need from me in exchange for the Rainbow Glaze?"
"I told you, I want you to fulfill your responsibility as a wife."
Ace paused for a moment. She thought Joanna probably wouldn't understand what he meant, so he gestured at her to move closer.
Joanna foolishly leaned forward and moved her ear close to Ace's lips to hear what he had to say.
She then heard Ace say, "The responsibility to please your husband in bed."
