The Unstoppable Comeback Of the Unrivaled Ex-Wife-Chapter 333 - 329

’ Mommy, Daddy Q has been busy all night. Do you know what he’s doing?’ Abigail asked Joanna in a soft and gentle voice.

The comers of Joanna’s eyes were slightly red, and she asked hoarsely," What was he busy with?"

"You’ll find out if you come with us!" Abigail said mysteriously. She led Joanna to the observation deck on the second floor of the shop.

The observation deck was built by the seaside at the junction of the three countries, and the view up there was breathtaking.

"Abby, why did you bring me here?" Joanna asked in confusion as she looked up at the stars in the sky.

Abigail smiled mysteriously and asked, "Do you know what day it is, Mommy?"

"Huh? The day? Uh... the weekend?" Joanna answered with a puzzled look on her face.

"It’s the ninth of August, which is your birthday, silly Mommy!" Abigail said sweetly.

"Today... is the ninth of August?" Joanna suddenly realized.

Today was her birthday!

"Look behind you, Mommy!"

Joanna turned, following Abigail’s finger, seeing Chase pushing a three-layer cake towards her.

The beautiful cake had been meticulously crafted in the shape of a little lion, and captivating and romantic sparklers had been lit on it.

Mr. Q stood beside her and said indifferently, "The kids told me it was your birthday today, so I called them over to make this cake for you. Those born in August are Leos, so it’s no wonder you have such a fiery temper. If I had arrived any later, you might have gotten the police called and taken me away to the station."

Joanna scratched her head, feeling like her face was about to catch fire, not to mention it was as red as a tomato.

"I’m sorry. I didn’t expect you to be so thoughtful."

Mr. Q joked somewhat half-heartedly, "Fire signs are known for being silly, and Leos are recognized as the second most stubborn sign. No sign dares to claim themselves as the most stubborn one, though."

Joanna was confused. Could someone tell her why the mighty "Night Demon " was talking to her so seriously about astrology?!

As the saying goes, people can’t judge a book by its cover, and the sea can’t be measured.

At the same time, dazzling fireworks began to burst into the night sky, illuminating it with the formations of the Leo constellation.

"Wow! That’s absolutely stunning! Daddy Q set off these fireworks for Mommy! How romantic!" Abigail exclaimed in a high-pitched voice as she jumped up and down while looking at the brightly lit sky.

On the other hand, Aiden acted like a mature adult and simply gave Mr. Q a thumbs up.

All in all, it seemed Mr. Q was quite a decent man. He set off fireworks because he knew Joanna loved a romantic atmosphere. For this level of insight, Aiden would give him another ten points!

"It’s beautiful!"

Joanna’s bright eyes were filled with a radiant glow as the clusters of fireworks reflected in them, completely immersed in the romantic atmosphere.

She didn’t notice Mr. Q slowly approaching her before whispering in her ear, "Are you ready to accept my punishment?"

Joanna snapped out of her immersion immediately and turned around to face the man with a guarded look.

"What are you going to do?" Joanna asked.

"It’s simple!" Mr. Q continued whispering in her ear. "Last time, I asked you to let me take Abby as my goddaughter before reclaiming Sun Island. Now I want to add on to that..."

"What do you want to add? You can’t possibly want my son as your godson now?!"

"That’s not all!" Mr. Q grinned and continued whispering, "I want Abby to be my goddaughter, Adie to be my godson, and you... to be mine."

"You’re insane!’ Joanna jumped away from him as quickly as a lightning bolt, standing warily as if facing a fierce beast. "I knew it! You’re like the weasel who pretended to pay homage to the chicken so that it could steal food! You only have bad intentions!

"I knew you were too good to be true! You made my favorite food, baked a cake with the kids, and even set off fireworks for my birthday... It turns out you were just waiting for this! You’re so greedy, taking advantage of me and my kids like this!"

Mr. Q stood with his hands in his pockets as Joanna ranted, facing her accusations with calmness and poise that exuded a majestic aura.

He leaned against the observation deck railing as he watched the fireworks blooming in the sky and sneered, "Haha... I don’t have any bad intentions. Miss Pierce, do you think I did all these things, went so far out of my way, and acted in ways that were completely inconsistent with my reputation just to take advantage of you? What do you think my motives are? What do you think I want?"

"How the hell would I know?’ Joanna shot back. She was obviously perplexed, and she couldn’t guess what the man’s motives were.

Was he after her money? But he was way wealthier than her.

Was he after her two children? But who would willingly take on the responsibility of a parent like that?

Was it... her beauty? But with his status and wealth, he could have any woman he wanted. There was no need for him to pursue a stubborn mule like her.

"Is it so unthinkable that I simply want you and your children? That I want to build a family with you, protect you from all the trouble around you, and keep you safe?"

Mr. Q fixed his gaze on Joanna, looking into her eyes with a somewhat serious glint.

Joanna was stunned momentarily, and the deepest part of her heart was undoubtedly touched.

No woman in the world would remain unmoved by such words. Even the strongest woman would hope to have a man that could be their shelter, protecting them from everything and taking care of them for the rest of their lives.

Joanna’s grandfather had once said that Ace was the man who could be her shelter and protect her forever.

She had believed it but was then burned badly for her belief.

Now, hearing such words again, she was moved, but her mind was also clear, which meant she wouldn’t believe them so easily anymore.

Joanna hugged herself and said wistfully, ’Mr. Q, I guess you’ve had a lot of time on your hands lately, huh? Have you been watching too many cheesy romantic soap operas, and that’s why you’re saying

such cheesy lines?"

"Let’s just consider me as a domineering CEO who wants to act out a cliche story."

The man was like a warrior constantly attacking a battlefield, relentlessly trying to break down Joanna’s defenses.

"Give it a try. Use Sun Island’s reclamation as a deadline. It’s also a way to be accountable to those kids. Otherwise, those troublemakers won’t relent so easily and will only end up giving you more headaches."

"That’s true. They keep insisting on matching me with you. I still don’t know what they see in you," Joanna retorted.

"Perhaps he simply thinks I fit his image of a perfect father," Mr. Q replied.

"Stop being so full of yourself. The way I see it, Adie is interested in you because you and Ace are enemies. So, the enemy of his enemy is his friend."

Joanna considered inwardly whether or not to go along with Mr. Q’s proposal and pretend to be a loving couple with him to fulfill the wishes of her two children.

If he was a good man, having one more person to love her two children wouldn’t be a bad thing.

If he were a bad man, however, he would eventually reveal his true colors, and the two children would no longer be fooled.

"So, do you want to give it a try?" Mr. Q asked, and when he saw the hesitation in the woman, he pushed further and said, "Give me a response. The children are looking at us from afar. If we agree, they will definitely be overjoyed.’

Joanna looked towards her children. She saw them standing not too far away, their eyes shining with expectation.
