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.
Feeling slightly aggrieved, Clara glared at the man who got angry out of the blue. "I got an allergic reaction instead of you. Why did you roar at me? If I wasn't afraid that you would be embarrassed, would I have eaten so many prawns and crabs? How ungrateful of you!"
"You…"
Ethan's anger soon subsided. Feeling guiltier, he lowered his head more and whispered to her, "Why were you so silly? I thought you liked eating them, so I kept on peeling them for you…"
"You're the silly one, not me!"
Clara rolled her eyes at him and complained grumpily, "You didn't have to peel them for me even if I liked eating them. I'm nobody to you. Why did you exhaust yourself so?"
Ethan heaved a long sigh and shook his head. "Yes, I'm silly. I'm the silliest person in the world… You're the smartest. There's nothing you don't know."
When William witnessed their ambiguous interactions, he felt rather sad.
