The Unstoppable Comeback Of the Unrivaled Ex-Wife-Chapter 379 - 375

Joanna made her way to the kitchen and started cooking dinner.

Though it had been so many years, it was strange that she didn’t feel the least awkward to be back in this kitchen. She felt as if she had returned to her own territory.

No matter how strong she presented herself, she still subconsciously enjoyed life as a little woman who cooked for her loved ones.

She quickly served a feast on the table like how it was in the past. The aroma of the food spread in the house.

What was different was that the usually deserted table became very lively, and people were already seated and could not wait to dig in.

"Wow, it smells so good! Mommy, the lemon chicken feet look very tasty, and it’s making my mouth water..."

Abby missed Joanna’s lemon chicken feet very much. She could eat a dozen every time Joanna made them.

But Joanna was normally very busy with her work and had little time to cook. So when Abby saw the chicken feed on the table, she grabbed one immediately like a hungry beggar.

"Hey. Don’t take it with your hand, Abby. It’s too indecent."

Joanna did not want Ace to think that the twins were not taught about table manners.

But when she looked at him, she discovered that he acted faster than Abby and Adie and was already holding a chicken foot in his hands and gobbling up the food.

He did not care one bit about his image as an elegant and noble man whatsoever!

"Um..."

Joanna was stupefied by Ace’s carnal eating methods and asked softly, "Ace, are you possessed by a hungry ghost or something? Do you have to be so excessive?"

Ace had finished chewing one foot and started on a second.

He slurped the thick chicken broth. The sourness and warmth combined made him unable to stop.

"You can’t blame me for this. It is you who made me into this..." said the man seriously while chomping down his food.

"So it’s my fault?" She glared at the man, speechless.

"Of course! Aren’t you aware of your cooking skills? Your food tastes so good. Are you trying to charm my stomach so that you can charm my heart afterward?"

"Huh?"

"I can tell you this now. My stomach has for sure fallen for you. You shall be my private cook from now on. I will only eat what you cook."

He did not show the slightest intention that he was joking with her.

What was that saying again? The way to a man’s heart was through his stomach?

He had been wondering why he could not forget her after so many years, but he had finally found the answer.

It was this very lemon chicken feet in front of him!

His mother once gave him the dish Joanna made, and he fell for it for good after tasting it lightly. He missed the taste so much that he even dreamed of catching this woman back by his side.

If he could make Joanna his wife again like how it was in the past, like how she would cook delicious meals and wait for him to come home, he would feel very happy and satisfied.

Unfortunately, she did not buy it at all. "Who do you think you are?" she asked, annoyed. "Me being your private cook? Just hurry up and eat. Can’t this food stop you from talking nonsense?"

After saying that, Joanna grabbed a piece of chicken feet and shoved it into Ace’s mouth.

Ace had never been treated in such a disrespectful manner. He looked like he was about to break into a fit of rage.

"Hahaha! This is so funny. Why does he look so hilarious? Well done, Mommy!" Adie had been cold all night long. He finally laughed. He also didn’t seem as hostile toward Ace as he did before.

This was the first time Ace saw Adie laughing so joyfully in front of him. This was how a four-year-old should behave.

Ace felt his heart melting away, and he naturally stopped feeling angry. He began to taste the food seriously.

After the two children stopped laughing, they also began eating the food Joanna prepared.

It didn’t take very long for them to clear their plates.

Joanna was very satisfied that they seemed to thoroughly enjoy the food.

The greatest sense of accomplishment for a chef was to see their food being finished.

At night, Joanna tucked her children in.

Adie and Abby were like two sticky candies. One hugged Joanna on the left, and the other hugged her on the right. They were on Joanna’s old bed while pestering her to tell them bedtime stories.

"Mommy, won’t you tell us how you fell in love with our handsome Daddy?" Abby asked sheepishly with a sweet smile on her face.

She knew that Joanna had loved Ace for a long time, but she never knew why. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Adie ruined her fun by speaking like an adult. "Why couldn’t you ask Mommy for a better story like how she won car races, how she became a bigshot hacker, how she fought so well, and who she learned it all from?

To Adie, Joanna was almighty and shouldn’t be tied to Ace.

Joanna closed her eyes helplessly. "Stop talking and go to bed!"

"Come on, Mommy. Tell me. I’m very curious... Let me guess. Did Daddy save you like how a prince would save a princess? Was that why you were moved?"

Abby insisted on getting an answer from Joanna.

Feeling helpless and wanting to convince Abby to sleep, Joanna had no choice but to tell her the truth. "Fine. I’ll tell you. To be honest... I was attracted by his face."

"Mommy, you were a vain young lady, weren’t you? When you met such a handsome man back then, you were smitten by his charm. It was love at first sight!"

Joanna recalled her past. It was rather ridiculous.

She was clearly such a rational person. She never fell for a man so easily. In fact, she’d respond coldly to all her admirers. However, she ended up falling for Ace, whom she’d only met on a single occasion.

She fell in love with him right away just because he was handsome. After that, she willingly became his wife for four years. Those were the loneliest years of her life... and she deserved it!

"Mommy, Abby feels the same way you do. I also fell in love with Daddy at first sight. I’ve never seen such a good-looking man. I’ve decided that we’ll stay with him from now!" Abby said in a serious tone.

"Abby, you’re being too naive. So what if he’s good-looking? Mommy needs someone who can love and protect her...This jerk clearly doesn’t love her, and he won’t protect her. Mommy won’t be happy if she stays with him!" Adie exclaimed.

Joanna was quick to agree. "Your brother is right. You have to find someone who’s good to you and not just someone you like. Looks alone won’t bring you happiness!"
