The Unstoppable Comeback Of the Unrivaled Ex-Wife-Chapter 326 - 322

"Who cares?!" Joanna felt enraged for some reason, despite her being in a good mood at the start. ’ Do you lack tact or something? Why would you even mention that jerk out of nowhere? It’s repulsing!"

Ace’s expression darkened, yet still hid his anger. "What did he do to you to make you hate him so much?’

"He’s a jerk. That’s what he is!’ Joanna clenched her jaw. "I slept with him for all but one night, and he’s threatening me with it the next day and made me cook skewers for him and his friends... Honestly, how could he?!"

"Is that it?’ Ace found it hilarious.

He sometimes found Joanna quite complicated, so much so that it felt like he never really understood her. Yet, at times, he found her as simple- minded as a child, devoid of cunning thoughts behind those crystal eyes.

This juxtaposition made his heart feel rather conflicted as well.

His rationality told him he should stay away from her, yet he still subconsciously wanted to get closer. That was why he came up with the ridiculous idea of clinging to her using the identity of a pub dancer.

It was as if he no longer felt embarrassed about his actions while being under a mask.

"Of course not!" Joanna suddenly felt the urge to rant, so she rolled up her sleeves, getting ready to nitpick on every little horrible thing about Ace.

"Your arm...’ Ace was sharp enough to notice the burn wound around her arm, which made him frown deeply.

’I knew it! She was burnt by the charcoal this morning, just like what happened to Seraphina!’

’But... Damn it, how could she have such high pain tolerance?! How did she not even whine a little when she’s been burnt so badly?!’

"Yeah! I was burned! It hurt so much!" Joanna yelped. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

She wasn’t used to complaining about her pain, but she felt oddly different with Isaac and started pouting sadly over it.

It was likely that he was now hers. He was basically her therapist at this point, her dumpster for emotions. Armed with the knowledge that he would support her, heal her, and stay by her, come what may, there was no need to put on a tough act in front of him.

"Come here, sit down!" Ace dragged her to the sofa and forced her into a seat.

"What are you doing?"

"Stop moving around, I’m going to apply medicine for you!" Isaac took out some antiseptic cream from his first aid kit as he ordered Joanna harshly.

"It’s fine, I already applied some..."

"Listen to me and give me your hand!" Ace’s voice became slightly deeper.

Hearing this, Joanna quickly fell obedient, reaching her hand out to him. She thought, ’Why do I feel like I can see a bit of Ace’s bossy attitude in this living angel?’

’Well, I guess it’s not really that weird. I only noticed Isaac because he has similarities with Ace, and I wanted him as a substitute for that man!’

Joanna continued staring at the man, who was focused on applying medicine on her arm. She just couldn’t believe how similar he was to Ace, down to his hair.

Suddenly, she had a courageous thought...

Ace was still concentrating on treating her wounds, whereas Joanna’s free hand caressed his head all of a sudden, like petting a dog.

"Can I ask you a question, pretty boy?" Joanna asked as she brushed through Ace’s hair gently.

The man froze and lifted his gaze, looking at the woman who wore an odd expression, slightly alarmed. "What is it?"

"Oh come on, don’t be so nervous, it’s not like I’m going to eat you up..." Joanna’s face flushed as she collected herself before being completely straightforward with him. "I’d just like to know if you’re really experienced with love, since you’re such a popular star, especially... you know, that type of experience? Like, are you super good at it?!"

"What type?"

"We’re all adults here, so don’t play dumb with me now. Of course, I’m talking about sex!’ Joanna didn’t want to beat around the bush and came forth.

That was because she felt like she could be her true self in front of Isaac. She could say anything on her mind, and she didn’t need to hide.

"Why are you even asking about that all of a sudden?!" Ace quickly furrowed his brows, his lips frowned coldly, visibly upset.

’What is this woman thinking?! How could she ask a lowly pub escort such a private question?! Could she be still under the effects of the drug and wanted to find a professional to get some release?’

"Hey, don’t misunderstand my intentions. I just think you have experience, and I have a few questions for you professionals," Joanna explained earnestly.

Although she was twenty-seven, her experience with love had only been with Ace. She had even less intercourse experience, despite going into her thirties, as she had also only ever done it with that man.

Hence, she really wanted to know if she was still longing for Ace because she had too little experience in love. She wanted to know if her emotions had indeed been so drastically affected by him... because she lacked experience in intercourse.

"Is that so..." Ace’s expression softened lightly, which then turned into intrigue. "So tell me, what are these questions?"

"Well... Aha, it’s a little awkward." Joanna shed her usual nonchalant attitude and started acting like a young teenager in love. Her fair cheeks were painted in a shade of red as she bashfully continued.

"I don’t have a lot of experience in dating. If we exclude my ex-husband from this equation, I basically never dated anyone, let alone... do that. So I’d just like to know if it feels the same doing it with different people?"

"And... I keep thinking about how I felt with my ex-husband. Could it be because I don’t have another person for reference? Am I just lacking in experience?"

Hearing this, Ace felt extremely conflicted. He was just troubled and happy at the same time.

He was happy that the woman still had feelings towards him despite her cold, hostile demeanor. However, he was troubled at the fact that he didn’t have any wisdom to share, as he had only ever been intimate with Joanna alone.

"So you’re saying you’re still thinking about your husband?" Ace asked with interest.

"Of course I am. He’s my first love, after all, and it’s different." Joanna faced her true feelings towards this head-on, answering truthfully.

She didn’t want to deny the fact that Ace did hold an important place in her heart. However, that didn’t necessarily mean that they had a chance to get back together.

After all, being unable to move on was far different than still loving them wholeheartedly.

Ace’s heart instantly felt like it was experiencing large waves, thumping with glee.
