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 left after finishing his sentence.
Joanna stayed in the garden on her own. She stood under the moonlight and got lost in thought while she gazed at the field of sunflowers.
Truth be told, Joanna did consider doing exactly as he said.
Although Ace's words were unpleasant, he was speaking the truth when he said no other man would treat her children better than their biological father.
Like every other mother, Joanna wanted the best for her children.
If she and Ace got back together, her children would be happier. Perhaps, she could give it a try.
But what about Mr. Q? She promised she would marry him in a week!
"Ahh. This is so annoying!" Joanna felt increasingly annoyed. She ruffled her hair and cursed herself for being a tramp. She was two-timing her fiance.
Feeling conflicted, she returned to the bedroom. She tossed and turned all night long, and she barely slept.
