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.
"Huh?"
Ethan looked at the pretty lady leaning on him with a dismayed face, feeling complicated. Not only he was confused, he even felt like laughing.
'What relationship?'
If he remembered correctly, the last time they met was at a banquet; they nearly got into a fight over the question of whether Ace and Joanna should reconcile. The scratch on his arm had just started forming a scab.
If that was the 'relationship' she was talking about, it would certainly be unusual!
"Don't just stand here, darling. Say something, don't make me look like a third wheel…"
Clara acted as if she was a bystander. She exaggerated her actions and pinched the man's arm quietly.
Her first thought was… 'Wow, this guy's muscles feel really hard!'
