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's heart skipped a beat. She put a hand on her belly awkwardly and pretended to be calm. "I wish I was pregnant so I could proudly marry into the Blackwood family. Unfortunately, I have been enjoying myself too much since the divorce, and I gained weight from eating too much. Anyway, thank you for your reminder, Mr. Moran. It's indeed time for me to lose some weight. Liam is, after all, so young and vibrant. If I don't maintain a good figure, who knows when he will be seduced by another vixen, and what would happen to me then?"
Ace's face turned dark instantly. His eyes were like sharp blades cutting through her skin.
"Well, I wish you good luck then."
The man grunted and put his hands in his pocket. Then, he left without looking back at her.
Joanna stood in place for a long time. She reflected on her words just now, uncertain of whether she had gone too far with what she just said.
