The Unstoppable Comeback Of the Unrivaled Ex-Wife-Chapter 355 - 351

Joanna stood before the windows while she tried her best to adjust the angle of the telescope, acting as if she was a spy focused on her mission. Everyone had a tendency to snoop at some point, and it should be fine if she snooped on the legendary Ace Moran himself.

The man was currently sitting before his desk, reading through the document in his hands thoroughly. His defined, charming features were perfectly sculpted, making him look like he belonged on the front cover of a magazine.

"Ugh, just look at how serious he’s pretending to be. I refuse to believe you won’t yawn or pick your nose in private!" Joanna scoffed cheekily as she stayed in the same position for quite some time, hoping to capture a glimpse of Ace’s uglier side.

After a short while, Ace received a call and got up, walking over to his windows with a cup of coffee in his hand.

"Sh*t!" Joanna ducked immediately, worried that she would be caught red-handed. From what she knew of the man, he was a complete narcissist who thought she still had feelings for him. If he were to find out that she was spying on him with a telescope, he would definitely not let it slide.

Thinking that Ace had likely walked away, Joanna peeked out from her hiding spot and started looking for him once more.

"Wait, where did he go? How did he disappear like that?" She muttered as she looked into the telescope, frantically searching. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

"What are you looking at?" A deep, calm voice sounded from behind her.

"What kind of question is that? That pervert of course!" Joanna replied without turning around, continuing her search by staring into the man’s office from different angles. She seemed rather childish at that moment.

"I’d really like to see if he picks his nose or something in private. I refuse to believe that a normal person could maintain the same perfect act all the time! Doesn’t he ever get tired?"

"If you’re really that curious, I’ll allow you to watch me up close," the deep-voiced man chuckled.

"Huh?" Joanna finally noticed that something was off, and quickly spun around. To her horror, she found Ace sitting at her desk with his legs crossed and both hands in his pockets. He was staring back at her with a slight smile.

As the telescope fell to the ground, Joanna buried her face into her hands with a groan, wishing she could disappear into thin air.

’Oh god, let lightning strike me now!’

"People told me that you couldn’t move on, but I didn’t quite understand that before. But now, it looks to me like you really do still love me, to the point you’d stoop so low as to spy on me." Ace smirked. Although he seemed composed on the surface, he was actually quite happy and proud of this.

Joanna felt like she was about to explode from rage. Her eyes narrowed as she turned towards Wyatt, who was hiding behind the door. "Who let him in here? How can the security department of Stellar Group be so weak?"

"I’m sorry, Miss Pierce, it was my idea to ask Mr. Moran to come by. I just couldn’t bear watching your love for him to go to waste. Besides, I think the both of you need a nice, long talk..." Wyatt raised his hand apologetically.

He then turned to Ace angrily. "Mr. Moran, even if men suck, I’d like to believe that you are different. If you have chosen to love Miss Pierce, then take some damn responsibility! At the very least, your issues with each other shouldn’t affect the child, don’t you think?"

Ace nodded. "If that is true, I will take responsibility for her, I promise."

"Good! So talk to each other, and I’ll be excusing myself. I’m not going to stick around to be a third wheel! I hope you guys bear many children in the future!" Wyatt quickly fled the scene before Joanna could strangle him to death.

Finally, the only people left in the room were Joanna and Ace.

"What the heck? What does he mean by ’many children’?" Joanna turned to Ace in alarm.

’Could he have found out about Abby and Adie’s existence? If he has, there’s going to be a battle soon. This is war!’

She knew that this wasn’t the right time to go against the Morans, which was why she still felt somewhat uneasy. However, if it was bound to happen, she would not go down without a fight either.

’No one... And I mean no one can take Abby and Adie away from me!’

"There’s no one around, so drop the act. I know about our child," Ace said nonchalantly.

Joanna clenched her fists, still pretending to be aloof. "What child? I don’t understand. If you want babies to continue your bloodline so badly, just spread the news and pick a girl with the best genes! Aren’t you being a little ridiculous by clinging to your ex-wife like this?!"

Ace stared at Joanna, pausing before he gave her a cryptic smile. "I thought you were pregnant with my child, which is why you made such a big commotion that day. Isn’t it so that I’d take responsibility? To be honest... I am at a suitable age to have children anyway, and it’s not like I can’t accept you as the mother of my children."

"What?" Joanna echoed, completely stunned. "You’re saying I’m... pregnant with your child?"

"Were you not aware?" Ace continued with a straight face. "Were you not the one who provided information to the paparazzi? Just look at the news!"

"I wasn’t, I really wasn’t." Joanna’s mind went blank. "What paparazzi? What news?"

Ace didn’t explain anything further and took his phone out, searching the current trending news before handing it to the woman. "Take a look for yourself!"

Joanna hesitated briefly, read the article, and... exploded right away.

"What?! Which of those damn paparazzi jerks wrote this? When was I ever pregnant? And they even wrote that I was practically begging you to take responsibility! Even Shakespeare would have to bow down to their creativity!"

Ace stood up and approached her, still smiling. "If you did this to get back together, I really don’t mind, you know? Our children will definitely have both brains and beauty with our genes. So... are you pregnant or not?"

"No!" Joanna burst out, putting her arms up into an ’X’ sign. "Birth control is the way to go! Besides, I don’t even love you, so why would I ever carry your babies? Do you think I have a lot of time and energy on my hands?"

"Are you sure?" Ace’s gaze darkened, his voice turning cold and intimidating. "So you’re not willing to carry my children even if I am willing to take full responsibility?"

"Exactly!" Joanna gritted her teeth. "I want to cut ties with you! If I were to have your children, it’d be impossible for me to do that now, wouldn’t it? Why would I ever want such a horrible future? I’m not an idiot!"

Ace’s expression became colder by the minute. After all, the woman’s words were like sharp blades stabbing the man’s heart.

His ego thoroughly bruised, anger now rose in him. He warned the woman in a harsh voice, saying, "Remember what you said today, Pierce. If you dare lie to me, I will make your life a living hell!"
