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.
Joanna nodded and obediently took the medicinal cream from the nightstand.
At the time, she was still unable to determine if Ace was pretending to have forgotten her or if he really had. However, none of that was important—her main goal was to help him recover. She just wanted happiness for him. Anything else was… insignificant.
"Mr. Moran, please lie down. I will be changing your bandages now," Joanna requested of Ace, who was still acting all lovey-dovey. She then slowly squeezed out the thick cream into her palm.
Since this wasn't the first time she took care of the man, she was especially familiar with such procedures.
First, she had to unbutton his shirt and undo the gauze bandages around his torso. After that, she had to spread the cream on both her palms and gently smear it all over his wounds.
