The Unstoppable Comeback Of the Unrivaled Ex-Wife-Chapter 339 - 335

Joanna could not stop Ace from talking nonsense, so she could only cover her ears with both hands.

The scenery outside the car gradually changed from a beautiful suburban environment to a bustling city center. They eventually arrived at a Western restaurant.

"We’re here."

Ace said without any gentlemanly manner.

Joanna sulked in the passenger seat and refused to get out of the car. To be precise, she did not want to dine with Ace.

’There’s a huge rift between us and we dislike each other, but now we have to eat at the same table? Doesn’t he feel awkward?’

After taking a few steps, Ace realized that Joanna had not gotten off the car, so he returned to the car and looked down at her with a slightly puzzled expression. "Why are you still in the car? It’s already so late. Aren’t you hungry?"

"I’m not hungry!"

Joanna continued to sulk, hoping that the man could read the mood.

"Are you sure you’re not hungry?"

Ace was amused.

It was already 8 pm, so it was long past dinnertime. How could someone who ate three cupcakes in one bite like her not be hungry?

’That’s right. I’m not hungry, so let’s forget about dinner. Thank you for coming to save me. I’ll take my leave."

After saying those lies, Joanna unfastened her seat belt and got out of the car, ready to part ways with him.

"But I’m hungry."

Ace said expressionlessly, "If you really want to thank me, then keep me company."

Joanna:"..... "

She had never seen such a shameless person.

And so, Joanna was left without a choice. She was dragged to the restaurant by Ace.

Because it was a very high-class restaurant, there were only a few customers. Judging from their attire, they were either wealthy people or people of high statuses.

They picked a table by the window that had flowers and candles on it.

There was also a violin ensemble in the restaurant. The beautiful music they performed created a grand and romantic atmosphere in the restaurant.

"May I take your order?"

A waiter handed each of them a thick set of menu.

Ace lowered his head and pointed at several classic dishes at the top of the menu, then handed it back to the waiter and said, "Just one set, please."

Joanna was just about to order. Ace’s words caught her by surprise.

The waiter was a bit surprised too. He confirmed, "Only one set? What about the lady?"

"She doesn’t want any because she’s not hungry."

Ace lifted his eyes and asked with a grin, "Are you hungry?"

Joanna was so hungry that she could eat a cow, but if she admitted it now, it would be very embarrassing, so she could only grit her teeth and say, "I’m not hungry. I have a small appetite anyway."

After saying that, she could not help but swallow her saliva.

"I see... Just a moment, please. Your food will be here shortly."

The waiter did not pursue the matter. He left with the menu.

At the same time, Joanna’s stomach growled in protest.

*Ahem, ahem*

Joanna cleared her throat a few times and tried to cover up her embarrassment by drinking water.

Ace pretended not to hear anything. He elegantly spread a napkin on his legs, then wiped his hands with a hot towel. His movements were dignified and elegant.

The waiter soon brought some exquisite dishes to their table, including braised beef in red sauce, braised cold shrimp with lime, caviar, prime sirloin steak, and a fruit salad. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Joanna’s eyes were glued to the delicious food on the table. Not only did her stomach growl even harder, she also could not help swallowing her saliva again.

Ace wordlessly carved a piece of steak and put it in his mouth. He chewed it slowly and then showed a regretful expression. "I consider myself a picky eater, but the quality of the steak here is really something else. Too bad you’re not hungry, or you could have tried it."

Joanna tried to shift her gaze to the outside of the window. She raised her chin high and said disdainfully, ’It’s fine, I don’t like Western food anyway."

Hmph, although she was a glutton, she’s a glutton with principles and a bottom line. She would not be tempted!

Ace continued to cut off another piece of steak and commented with satisfaction, "Mmh, today’s steak is cooked to perfection. I wanted it medium rare, and it was just right. It’s charred on the outside and tender on the inside, which tightens the texture of the beef tenderloin... Would you like a taste?"

He stabbed the piece of steak he had just cut with his fork and brought it close to Joanna’s mouth.

The mellow aroma of delicious food drifted into Joanna’s nose, melting away Joanna’s determination!

As she was about to give up her bottom line and principles by opening her mouth to taste the steak, Ace childishly retracted his hand and ate the steak himself. He shook his head and sighed, "Oh, I’m sorry, I forgot that you’re not hungry."

Joanna: ".... "

How did she never realize before how childish this guy was? Was teasing her that fun?!

"Let’s talk about something more serious..."

Ace’s face turned serious. He looked up at Joanna with a cold and forceful gaze. "Why did you and your assistant try to provoke a dangerous person like Rubio Pascal?"

"I don’t owe you an explanation."

Joanna’s face was frosty. She did not want to tell him too much.

"Do you need a favor from him or does he have dirt on you?"

Ace ignored her indifference and kept asking.

He did not notice that the concern he showed her had gone beyond the proper level.

Joanna snorted, her eyes filled with contempt. "Ace Moran, are you a middle-age woman from the neighborhood committee? You’re sticking your nose where it doesn’t belong. Why couldn’t I have approached Mr.Pascal because I admired him? Why are you so adamant that I was forced? Is it because you would feel better if I were?"

"Hah. What do you admire about him? His preference in young girls or his unique taste in food?"

The steak in Ace’s mouth suddenly felt a lot less tasty. He unhappily took a sip of red wine to wash it down and said, rather impolitely, "Or do you want to be the supplier of his Golden Meal?"

’You bastard!"

Joanna was immediately enraged. She stood up, pointed at him and warned, "If you say that kind of bullshit again, I’ll teach you a lesson!"

"Getting angry to mask your shame. Looks like I hit the nail on the head..."

Before Ace could finish, Joanna picked up her glass and splashed Ace’s face with wine without any hesitation.

Time seemed to have stopped in the restaurant. The few guests there, as well as the waiters, all stared at them.
