The Unstoppable Comeback Of the Unrivaled Ex-Wife-Chapter 350 - 346

She knew that Ace had loved Lego blocks since he was young, so whenever she saw a special edition set, she would immediately buy it for him under the guise of being his ’homie’. Every time she watched Ace open up his present like a little kid on Christmas, she felt extremely happy.

The X2 spaceship model on his glass shelf was also a gift from her. Seeing the man build and place her gift on the most eye-catching spot in his room, she figured she must be somewhat important to him. This belief made her love for him grow even stronger.

Ace took out the tens of thousands of blocks and sat down on the floor with his legs crossed. He looked quite excited to start assembling it.

Clara sat down as well, hugging Ace from behind and placing her chin on his shoulder. She asked him cheekily, "If you like my gift this much, shouldn’t you give me a reward in return?"

Ace didn’t look up from the blocks, but said generously, "What do you want? I’ll give you anything."

"What if I said I wanted you?" Clara gathered her courage and carefully tested the waters.

Ace frowned, visibly confused as he turned around to look at the woman. He placed his hand on her forehead and asked, "Are you sick or something?"

"Hahaha, there’s no need to be so tense. I only see you as a bro, my guy. I’m just asking you since my family is urging me to get married. I can’t think of any other way, so I was hoping you could help a bro out!" Clara still didn’t want to reveal her true intentions, and tried to play it off as a joke.

"Why me?" Ace asked casually, raising an eyebrow.

"Look, we’re both single, and we’re at the age of marriage. Also, we’re childhood friends, so we know each other well and our backgrounds are similar. Our families are urging us to get married anyway, so why don’t we just do it to shut them up?" Clara said excitedly, as if she was talking about some kind of grand business project.

Ace was facing the bed at the time, with his slender fingers randomly putting the small blocks together. He wondered what Joanna’s expression was like after hearing that, especially since she was currently hiding under his bed.

"Sounds good!" Ace said heartily, not rejecting Clara. "Marriage is just a legal matter anyway, so it doesn’t matter who I do it with. So why wouldn’t I marry someone I don’t hate, not to mention someone I know well?"

Joanna’s expression instantly turned icy. For some reason, Ace’s words disappointed her. She had been through marriage, and it was exactly as he said. No matter the person, all that was left at the end of a marriage was just the urge to strangle each other to death.

If she had another chance to choose, she would definitely stop herself from marrying for the so-called ’love’ she longed for. She believed Ace had understood this from the start, which explained his hostility during their entire marriage.

Hence, choosing to marry Clara was the most practical decision he could make. He wasn’t wrong for choosing this option, but it made Joanna resent him, and she didn’t quite understand why.

’I don’t get it at all! This is so frustrating!’ She thought.

"Oh my god, dude, really? You really think it’s a good idea to get married?" Clara was so excited that she was starting to stumble over her words, and she hugged the man tightly.

Clara had only mentioned marriage for the sake of gauging Ace’s opinion on it – she had never expected him to take her question seriously at all.

To her immense shock, Ace had ended up... agreeing with her.

It felt like a dream come true to the woman, as if the high and mighty star that she had loved for so long had finally fallen into her hands.

"If you’re willing to marry me, I’ll let you take over the Crawford family business too. I just want to enjoy life because I don’t have any idea on how to run a business at all. I’ll feel much better with you handling the Crawford business."

Clara had already envisioned their wonderful life together after marriage. She grabbed the man’s arm, looking at the crystal chandelier above their heads as she said happily, "We’ll get a villa up west, and decorate the place however we want. You like anime and Lego blocks, right? We can have a room just for your figurines! I’ll buy you the rarest figurines and the hardest Lego sets to build..."

Clara looked at Ace with a grin. "We can turn our home into our own personal theme park! You won’t have to worry about our marriage being boring too, since I’m not like your ex-wife! I’ll bring excitement into our lives, unlike your cold and dull ex-wife back then. To think it was so bad that you got tired of your marriage!"

Before Ace divorced Joanna, his friends had made fun of his lackluster marriage all the time. Moreover, Clara could tell that Ace really did despise their relationship, and had gotten tired of his modest and gentle wife. Thus, she knew she had to show the man the joys of being married so that he would be willing to give it another chance...

"Right, my ex-wife was pretty cold. That’s why our marriage fell apart. Now that I think about it, it really was..." Ace suddenly paused.

"It really was what?" Clara’s eyes widened as she asked curiously.

At the same time, Joanna was trying her best to hear what he was about to say. She really wanted to know the man’s true feelings on their failed marriage.

Ace shook his head, his lips curving upwards mysteriously. "It’s nothing."

Clara was disappointed, to say the least. She frowned deeply and said, "Hey now, how can you tease me like that? But tell me... do you still miss your relationship with your ex-wife? If you had another chance, would you choose to start over with her?"

She wanted to know what Joanna meant to him, which would dictate how she was going to treat the woman from now on.

Ace, however, remained silent, and just smiled.

Clara knew that the man wouldn’t reply if he didn’t want to, so she could only change the topic. "So, my suggestion is good, right? I told you what our married life would be like, so are you... willing to try it out with me?"

Ace was holding a Lego block, his expression solemn. He couldn’t possibly respond to Clara’s question, since he himself had no idea what to say either.

From an objective standpoint, marrying Clara would be the best choice as of now, since they would be combining two powerful families with their union. Despite knowing this...

He was holding onto a joint block at the time, which was round in shape. As his mind wandered, the block fell out of his grasp, and rolled under the bed.

’Damn it!’ Joanna cussed in her head as the piece landed next to her arm.
