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.
When Joanna came out of the room, Quinton, who had been guarding outside, went to her.
"Sis, what happened? Why are you in such a flurry? Did that guy wake up?"
"His fingers moved. I think he's about to wake up…"
Joanna tried her best to calm herself down before she said to Quinton seriously, "Can you promise me one thing?"
"Of course, I'll promise you no matter what you ask of me!"
Quinton announced humbly as he tried his best to please Joanna for fear that his only sister would hate him.
"Treat Ace's illness. Don't hurt him. Let him live even if it's not for me. Do it for Adie and Abby."
Joanna stared at Quinton with a firm and solemn gaze that had no intention of giving in.
After a series of incidents, she felt that she did not know him enough. She did not know his limits after being reunited with him after such a long separation.
So, she still did not dare to trust him fully, even though they were a pair of twins.
