The Unstoppable Comeback Of the Unrivaled Ex-Wife-Chapter 373 - 369

There was nothing but silence in the room. The man lying on the bed had his eyes tightly closed, accentuated by his long eyelashes that were as dense as feathers. The gentle light from the orange desk lamp cast a shadow on his tall, defined nose.

Joanna saw no response from Ace, so she leaned down and got closer to him. As she observed him carefully, ripples of inexplicable feelings rose in her heart.

"Dude! Leaving all else aside, you do have such a pretty face! Why did God bless you with such beauty?"

Joanna was once again mesmerized by Ace’s flawless complexion. Ace had perfectly defined features and great skin. She wondered if he had been using some high-class skin care products for his flawlessly smooth skin.

Joanna had been fooled many times before and became much more vigilant. She pushed Ace and warned again, "I’ll say it again. Don’t use the same trick again!"

Ace did not move or respond.

"Are you still pretending? I have plenty of ways to deal with you!" Joanna said. After that, she mischievously pinched Ace’s nose and tried to obstruct his breathing.

Even so, Ace still did not respond.

"Not awake yet?" Joanna furrowed her brows and warned harshly, "Then don’t blame me for using my top-secret weapon!"

Joanna waved her arms and stretched her muscles right after saying that. Then... she began to tickle Ace.

She kept tickling him at different speeds, sometimes lightly and sometimes hard. She was sure that even someone with a strong determination would have no way to hold back and endure.

"Still no response?"

Joanna let out a long sigh and finally believed that Ace was really in a coma. Seeing that he was still unconscious, she somehow felt a little more relaxed, less tense than before.

"Okay, okay. I’ll believe it for now. You’re really unconscious." After saying that, Joanna began to take care of Ace, sparing no effort.

First, she washed his face and hands. Then, she gave him water and medicine. Finally, she played him a piece of soothing music. The doctor mentioned that, in his case, it would be easier for him to recover in a comfortable and relaxed environment.

Joanna was unsure if Ace had recovered. In the end, she began to relax in the comfortable and relaxing atmosphere and fell asleep not long after...

Joanna rested on the edge of the bed and slept very well. Her thick and luscious black hair scattered on the bed somehow gave off the feeling of a tenacious weed.

Ace opened his eyes. Warmth and happiness flew in his heart as he saw the woman who was taking care of him.

Ace was already awake when Joanna tickled him. However, he had a strong determination and could endure far better than the average person.

He was afraid that Joanna’s gentleness would be gone as soon as he woke up, so he simply pretended to remain unconscious...

Ace reached out his hand in the quiet and cozy atmosphere and gently placed his hand on her head. As he patted her like coaxing a child, her hair slipped through his fingers like a silky waterfall.

Joanna sensed something odd and jumped on her guard. She questioned him coldly, "What are you doing?"

Ace’s hand froze in mid-air. The gentle look on his face was quickly replaced by his usual inscrutability. "You’re such a tough woman," he said flatly. "You’re still defensive even when you’re asleep."

Joanna glared at Ace and snapped, "Of course, I have to be on guard! If I stay stupid, I would’ve died many times!"

"You always see the worst in people. You’re always strong, just like a rose with thorns but curled up like a weak, tiny rabbit while asleep. Maybe deep inside, you long for someone to embrace and protect you, giving you something to fall back on..."

"Nonsense. Absolutely not!"

Joanna interrupted Ace with a stubborn expression.

’Damn! That’s so embarrassing!’ Joanna thought. She wondered when Ace had actually woken up. He must be laughing at the way she was sleeping so soundly beside him!

Joanna wanted to lash out at Ace. However, she remembered the doctor’s advice and tried to control her temper.

"How do you feel? Are you still dizzy?"

Ace looked deep into Joanna’s eyes and let the emotions flow between them. He asked with a half-smile, "Do you care about me that much?"

"Don’t make a fool of yourself. I’m not concerned about you." Joanna tensed her pretty little face and said emphatically, "I’m just afraid about the responsibilities. The kids went overboard this time. I don’t want you to blackmail us in case something happens to you."

Joanna thought she was being very sober and sensible. However, Ace simply arched his brow with a meaningful look that flashed across his eyes. She could not tell whether it was disappointment or interest.

"What else?" Joanna snorted coldly. She was arrogant and unattainable, like a princess. "My thoughts are precious. I don’t easily care for others."

"In that case, you and the two kids may have to make some effort..."

Ace had a tired look on his handsome face. He rubbed his temples and said with a cold voice, "My head is dizzy, and my body feels weak. I’m in a bad mood. I don’t know how long I’ll take to recover."

"It won’t be long. You’ll get better in a week!"

Joanna couldn’t tell if Ace was playing hard to get or if he was really uncomfortable. However, according to the doctor, she should pay attention to his case and not take it lightly.

He might be pretending to be pathetic. Even so, she had to take good care of him and let him get better quickly.

"Don’t worry. I’ll take care of you during this time," Joanna solemnly promised the man.

"Is that so? I look forward to it." Ace curled his lips. He suddenly thought that falling ill this time turned out to be a rather meaningful happenstance.

Ace was discharged the next day. He suggested that Joanna should come to Moran Villa with her two children, citing his reluctance to unfamiliar surroundings, especially the bed.

Joanna felt very speechless. Ace rarely came home to Moran Villa before. How could he be familiar with the place and bed?

However, considering Abby’s asthma, Pierce Residence and Moran Villa were the only places where the environment could accommodate her. Joanna thought it would be a good idea for them to move there for a while.

"We can move to Moran Villa and take care of you, but I’ll make this clear. This doesn’t mean anything. The kids and I just don’t want to take the blame for your illness. Don’t you think anything will change!"

Joanna made her attitude clear to Ace.

"You’re overthinking. You own half of Moran Villa as well. I just thought it would be easier for you to live there while taking care of me. I don’t have any other ideas."

Ace’s expression was a little arrogant.

After the two of them agreed on a resolution, Joanna suddenly felt troubled. She was so focused on getting Ace back on his feet that she seemed to have overlooked something very important...

"You should go back to Moran Villa. I’ll go back and pack up with the kids. We’ll move in tonight."

After speaking to Ace, Joanna hurried home.
