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 pursed his lips. "I tried to resist, but it didn't work. You know how strong you are, don't you?" He asked.
"Well…" Joanna glanced at the ridiculous scratch marks on his body and suddenly felt less sure about her line of reasoning. "You should think about whether your outfit was too revealing. Did you use suggestive body language? Were you intentionally seducing me?"
"As a man, especially an attractive one, you should abide by modest virtues. Don't flirt all the time. If you can't even protect yourself, how can you expect others to protect you? If you tell people that you were 'bullied' on the internet, they'll only say you deserved it!"
"…" Ace was speechless.
What was wrong with him? Why was he arguing with her about this?
