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.
"Sorry to keep you all waiting." Ace wore a faint smile as he sat down beside Joanna, as if they hadn't just argued.
Joanna glared at him, but could not do anything else since they were both guests there. Finally, she just sighed in annoyance and started eating.
The atmosphere at the dining table was surprisingly warm and pleasant.
Jane was nibbling a chicken drumstick, and both her hands and mouth were stained with sauce. She looked adorable.
Joanna's heart softened when she looked at her. She was about to take a tissue paper to wipe Jane's hands and mouth for her.
but Ace beat her to it. He gently wiped her mouth and said affectionately. "Greedy girl. Your mouth is dirty."
Joanna was slightly stunned as she looked at him, a strange emotion stirring in her. She had never seen him so gentle and
patient before. He didn't look like the superior and aloof Ace, he seemed quite caring now.
Her anger towards him instantly faded.
