The Unstoppable Comeback Of the Unrivaled Ex-Wife-Chapter 365 - 361

Ace remained calm and completely unruffled. He eyed Nancy up and down with a cold gaze that bathed him with an oppressive aura.

"Are you... Joanna’s nanny?"

He had an inkling of a memory of what Nancy was like. He remembered how Nancy used to like matching him up with Joanna in the past. He wondered why she would suddenly change so dramatically and become so hostile to him that she even wanted to chase him away with a knife.

Nancy’s eyes oozed with animosity towards Ace. She glared viciously at him, and with a kitchen knife in her hand, she sarcastically taunted, "I can’t believe the noble and haughty Mr. Ace Moran would remember an old woman like me! Well, in that case, you must know full well that there is a mortal grudge between us. What gave you the audacity to step into this house yourself? Are you plotting something evil?"

"I’ll give you three seconds," she continued. "Get out of this house, or I’ll give you a taste of my kitchen knife!"

Nancy feared that Ace had come with sinister intentions to hurt Joanna again, or perhaps he was scheming to do something to the twins, so she made up her mind: she’d chase the man away or die trying!

Ace put his hands in his pockets, perfectly calm and composed, but a cold sneer cropped up on his lips as he commented, "What a loyal servant. Did Joanna teach you how to do this?"

"I’m old enough to have one foot in death’s door," she replied. "I don’t need anyone to teach me anything. You know full well about the horrible things you’ve done to Miss Joanna. You’re lucky that she never sought revenge due to her high moral standards, but I’m not like her. I’m just a lowly servant with no proper upbringing, so if you force my hand, I will not hesitate to attack you because I’ve got nothing to lose!"

"Didn’t you hear me?!" she repeated. "I said, get out of this house!"

Nancy was brandishing the kitchen knife like a hysterical woman, and the situation was getting more and more dramatic.

But Ace was unaffected by it at all. His gaze shifted toward the basket of tomatoes, and he calmly said, "I’m here because my grandfather ordered me to send this to you. Now that the thing’s been delivered, I’ll leave right away."

"We don’t want it!" said Nancy. Although she was just a humble servant, she was still full of pride. She looked at the basket of tomatoes and was reminded of all the hardship and misfortune Joanna had to endure. To her, it seemed that these tomatoes were what the Moran family sent as an insult to Joanna.

"Take this garbage back with you!" Nancy told Ace. "After all you’ve put Miss Joanna through, and all you could think of was to send her these rotten tomatoes?! What do you take Miss Joanna for? What does your family take Miss Joanna for? What an abominable family!"

"Joanna picked these tomatoes herself," replied Ace. "If you don’t want it, then let her throw them away herself."

Once he finished his sentence, he got up and was ready to leave.

Just then, Adie and Abby, who had been eavesdropping at the door, rushed out of the study.

"You can’t let Uncle Handsome leave, Aunt Nancy! Adie and I still want to play with him!"

Abby clung onto one of Ace’s long legs and raised her sweet and adorable little face towards him, charmingly cooing, "You promised you’d stay and play with us, Uncle Handsome! Why are you leaving now? Don’t you know that your nose will grow very long when you lie?"

Nancy panicked and hastily pulled Abby away from Ace and put her down behind her before sternly warning the girl, "That man is an evil demon, Abby! We must stay away from him, or else he will turn into a big gray wolf and eat you up, and you’ll never get to see Mommy again!"

All this time, Nancy would do anything not to let Ace Moran discover the existence of the twins, but in the end, it seemed that he had already found out about it. Still, judging from the Moran family’s power and capabilities to obtain information, she surmised that perhaps they had found out about the twins and concocted a silly excuse to visit them.

In that case, it probably did not matter how hard they tried to conceal the existence of the twins from the world because, in the end, they would still end up learning the truth anyway. Now that it was pointless to hide the truth, all Nancy could do was urge the twins to be wary of Ace Moran.

"That’s impossible, Aunt Nancy! Uncle Handsome is a good guy! He gave us these tomatoes. I tasted them, and they were very sweet! I ate so many just now! Try them yourself, Aunt Nancy! Once you’ve tried them, you’ll know that Uncle Handsome can’t be a bad guy!"

Then, like a nimble little cat, Abby slipped through Nancy’s fingers and ran from behind her towards the basket of tomatoes, picking one up and offering it to Nancy with bright innocent eyes.

"You’re such a silly girl, Abby! Bad guys don’t have the words ’bad guy’ written on their faces so you could tell them apart from the others! Don’t you remember the story of Little Red Riding Hood that I told you about? The big gray wolf pretended to be her grandma and tricked her into trusting him; that’s how she ended up getting eaten by the wolf... That man is just like the big gray wolf! You must always keep your eyes open and use reason to distinguish the bad from the good, and you must stay away from him, understood?"

Nancy earnestly and patiently lectured Abby, but the only reply she got from the girl was, "I know, I know. You’re right, Aunt Nancy. I’ll be very careful from now on. Still... This tomato is really yummy! You should try it!"

Abby then ate another tomato, then, with her pink little fingers, gently stuffed one into Nancy’s mouth. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

Adie, who had been standing on the side, also picked up a tomato and popped it into his mouth, and slowly chewed it. He made appreciative grunts and said, "It’s true. The tomatoes are indeed very fresh and very sweet. I’m sure this man had come to visit us with full sincerity. Don’t worry too much, Aunt Nancy. Mommy taught us to be courteous and polite with our guests, so we must make him feel welcome!"

"Adie!" Nancy stared at the boy in disbelief. "Not you too! What’s the matter with you? Why are you acting just like Abby?"

Abby had always been easily tricked by looks and appearances. She was also a very sweet and amiable girl, so it did not surprise Nancy one bit that she would be ’bought over’ by Ace’s handsome looks. Adie, however, was a clever and quick-witted boy. He was an even better judge of character, apart from being extremely protective of his mother. He could not possibly be serious about welcoming Ace Moran as their guest, right?

"You must be tired from working all day, Aunt Nancy. Why don’t you go and take a rest? Leave this guest to us! We’ll entertain him!"

Adie then took Nancy’s hand and led her into her room. A few minutes later, he returned with a smile on his face and told Ace, who was getting ready to leave, "I’ve told Aunt Nancy to rest for the day, so you can stay and play in our house in peace. Soon, Mommy will be home from work. You can play with her too when she comes back."

Ace raised his eyebrows. He was impressed by the boy’s boldness because it reminded him of his own demeanor when he was young. He walked up towards Adie with an enigmatic smile on his face, then tousled Adie’s hair.

"What did you say?" he chuckled. "Were you hoping that I would stay and play with your mommy?"

Adie had always been a proud kid, and he would never let Ace Moran touch his head. With a stony expression, he told Ace, "Mommy told me not to let anyone touch my head. The next time you touch it, I’ll lose my temper!"

"Hahaha... What kind of rule is that?"

Ace did not know whether to laugh or cry. He was fascinated by the way Joanna had brought up these two children. Abby was an extremely sweet and adorable little girl, while Adie was even smarter and more rebellious than he was when he was a child. He began to genuinely adore them from the bottom of his heart.

"Mommy taught us to be polite and courteous," said Adie, "so we decided to treat you by making the best cake we’ve ever made for you!"

Adie subsequently took Abby’s hand, and they both skipped into the kitchen, ready to bake Ace a cake.

"Great!" chirped Ace cheerfully. "I can’t wait to taste your masterpiece!"
