The Unstoppable Comeback Of the Unrivaled Ex-Wife-Chapter 393 - 389

"That’s right. Although the Pierce family is in ruins, we can still afford to feed you. As long as you say yes, I’ll definitely welcome you into the Pierce family with a grand wedding!"

Joanna fought back a smile and joked with him.

She was certain that the egoistic Ace would never agree. He might even get so mad that he’d beat her up on the spot.

That way, she could claim to be the victim and prevent the Moran family from claiming that she was cold- blooded and refused to give them a chance!

"Are you sure you’re willing to marry me?"

Ace raised his head and looked straight into Joanna’s eyes. He asked softly.

"Uhh... S-Sure!"

Joanna could not figure out what he was thinking, so she could only nod guiltily.

"Okay, I agree."

Ace agreed without hesitation.

*Ahem!*

Joanna and Susan were both shocked. They could not believe what they were hearing.

"What... What did you say?"

Joanna carefully verified.

Impossible, absolutely impossible!

She must be hearing things!

"I said, I agree to marry into the Pierce family. When will you propose to me? When will we register? When will we hold the wedding?"

Ace approached Joanna step by step and asked her one question after another.

"I... I..."

Joanna gulped and retreated, unable to answer.

Susan was amazed to see that her dumb son had finally grown up. In order to regain his true love, he was willing to humble himself. His confidence and bravery amazed her. He was truly worthy of being her son!

"Son, that’s very brave of you. You have my full support. Do your best to win Joanna back as soon as possible!"

Susan gave Ace a thumbs up. After giving him some words of encouragement, she left to give the two of them some space.

Joanna also wanted to run away, but Ace locked the door behind her and stood close to her, trapping her between himself and the door!

"You haven’t answered me yet, my dear wife."

The corners of Ace’s lips curled into a smile. His long fingers lifted Joanna’s delicate chin as he asked in a mischievous tone.

Joanna’s face abruptly turned red. Her heart pounded rapidly. She said nervously, "Ace, your mother’s gone. You... can stop acting now. This isn’t funny!"

"I’m not trying to be funny. I’m serious. I don’t feel like working hard anymore, so I’ll marry a female boss like you and be a good househusband, cooking and taking care of the children at home. That’s the dream life right there..."

"Why would you want to be a househusband? There’s no dignity or sense of achievement. If I abandon you, you would have nothing left. The risk is too high. Don’t be rash!"

"It’s okay, I’ll take good care of you and treat it as my job. I won’t give you the opportunity to abandon me."

"That’s not the point. Don’t you think it’s humiliating to marry into a woman’s family? Don’t go crazy with your family!"

"Times have changed. The wife doesn’t necessarily have to take the husband’s family name now. In some tribes, a woman can even have multiple husbands. I’m very open-minded. If you’re fine with it, I’m fine with it."

Ace leaned close, pressed his thin lips against her ear, and teased, "And as your husband, I’ll also fulfill my duty to you in bed and serve you well so that you’ll be happy every night."

"Enough with this madness! I’m scared..."

Joanna felt extremely uneasy. She struggled to escape from his arms.

That was because, if she did not escape soon, she might actually be tempted to accept his offer...

Especially the last promise. No woman could resist that.

Think about it. After coming home from a tiring day of work, there’s a stunning beauty waiting for you at home. He would make your stomach, mood, and body feel great. It would be better than winning the lottery!

"Ace, let’s be honest with each other. What’s your goal? If it’s the children, I advise you not to waste your time. Just file a custody lawsuit and let the judge decide."

With the last trace of reason in her mind, Joanna pushed the man away and calmly asked him.

"No, my goal has never been the children," he said, half-jokingly and half-seriously, as his eyes bore into Joanna’s.

"Then what’s your goal? To torture me, get revenge on me, and finally destroy me?"

"Am I so heinous in your eyes?"

"Of course you are. Other than that, I can think of no other reason why you would lower yourself to this level."

Joanna looked up at him. The man in front of her felt so familiar and yet so strange. She had no idea what kind of person he truly was.

"My mother already told you..."

Ace said slowly, "I want my name and your name to appear on the same marriage certificate."

After a momentary stun, Joanna felt disgusted. He glared at him and said, "I’m afraid you’ll be disappointed. Unless the apocalypse arrives, that day will never come."

"Why?"

"No reason. But if you need a reason before you’ll stop this madness, I don’t mind giving you one..."

Joanna paused for a moment, then told him honestly, "Because my name will be on another man’s marriage certificate. This person is a hundred times more suitable for me than you are!"

"Really?"

Ace’s eyes turned a little dark. An anger was clearly rising inside them, but he suppressed it. He said only one thing before he left: "We’ll see about that."

Since then, they had not communicated much. Even though they lived under the same roof, they were like strangers. Even when they ran into each other, they would not even make eye contact. They completely ignored each other.

On the day she agreed to meet with Mr. Q, Joanna sent the children to the kindergarten early, then brought the necessary documents to the Civil Affairs Bureau.

"Are you sure you’re willing to be my wife?"

Mr. Q was there on time. He was clearly a bit surprised to see Joanna.

"I’m sure!"

Joanna nodded without hesitation.

"Have you taken care of all your relationship matters? You won’t have any regrets if you become my wife?"

Mr. Q could hardly believe that Joanna had actually chosen him. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

Although getting married was no longer a big deal these days as you could always get a divorce if you regretted it, Joanna had already been married once, so if she divorced again, it would have a significant impact on her.

"Although I admire you and want to form a family with you... I don’t want to cause you more pain."

Mr. Q held her shoulders and said sincerely.

"Don’t worry, you’re not causing me more pain. In fact, you’re saving me. Thank you... for saving me!"

Joanna took a deep breath and embraced the man.

It was not easy for her to make this decision, but now that she had, she would not regret it!
