The Unstoppable Comeback Of the Unrivaled Ex-Wife-Chapter 394 - 390

"I’m glad to hear that."

From behind his unique mask, Mr. Q looked at Joanna with complicated eyes. He said meaningfully, "Remember, you made this choice yourself, so you can’t regret it no matter what, okay?"

"No regrets."

Joanna nodded again to assure him. She left herself no way back and bet everything she had on this decision so that she could have a fresh start.

Regardless of whether the ending would be a happy one or a terrible one, she would have no regrets!

"You’re aware of my situation, I presume? I’ve sworn to never take off the mask, so the way we obtain the certificate will be a little different."

"How so?"

"Give me your documents. I have special connections that will let us obtain a marriage certificate directly."

"But..."

Joanna was a bit dumbfounded. "Are you really gonna wear this mask forever? Even after we get married? Even when... even when we sleep together?"

"My face is disfigured. It’s a humiliation for me. I won’t let anyone see it. If you mind, we can end the relationship right now."

Mr. Q was adamant. There was no room for negotiation.

Joanna knew how important the mask was to him. He would not let anyone touch it. Therefore, she was not that insistent. She said casually, "It’s fine if you don’t want to take it off. I’m not marrying you for your face anyway."

If it was a handsome face she was after, she would have married Ace. He was probably the most handsome man in the entire City.

"How surprising. You’re that tolerant of your man’s behavior?"

Mr. Q responded to Joanna’s open-mindedness with a weird question.

The atmosphere in the car became a bit strange.

Mr. Q moved closer. His thin lips curled into a strange smile as he asked, "Are you sure you’re willing to sleep with me, a man whose face is ruined?"

"I..."

Joanna was a bit embarrassed and a bit uncomfortable. She kept moving back, clearly resisting Mr. Q’s approach.

In fact, she did not like it when any man got close to her. Like a hedgehog, she had a natural defense against men, even if the man was the "husband" she was about to marry.

This may have to do with the way she was brought up. Her grandfather’s training meant that the wall she put up around herself would always be thicker than what ordinary people had. It was difficult for a man to breach.

Except for... Ace, that bastard!

Damn it, why was she thinking of that guy again?!

Today was the day she would get married again. Why was she thinking of her scumbag ex-husband? Something must be wrong with her brain!

"See? You resist me so much, but you still want to marry me. You’re such a contradictory woman."

Mr. Q stopped teasing her and returned to his original position, maintaining a "safe" distance between them.

Joanna heaved a sigh of relief. She disguised her embarrassment by tidying up her clothes and hair. She explained, "I’m a shy person. You need to give me some time to get to know you better. Once I get to know you, I won’t resist you anymore."

"Shy?"

Mr. Q sneered and said, "But I heard you fell in love with my sworn enemy, your ex-husband, at first sight."

"Nonsense. Who told you that?"

Joanna denied it without any confidence.

"Forget it. I won’t tease you anymore. Since you’ve made up your mind, please give me your documents so that we can go through the marriage registration process without showing up."

"Without showing up?"

"That’s right. Someone will photoshop our pictures together, get everything done, and mail the marriage certificate to you. You can then see what I looked like before I was disfigured."

"I... I see."

Although it was strange, Joanna could not suppress her excitement. Without much hesitation, she handed over all her documents.

It felt like she was handing over her turbulent life to the man. From now on, she would be living her life with him and the children!

After they said goodbye, Joanna returned to the Moran Villa.

She was in a good mood. She felt like she had embarked on a new Chapter in her life.

No one knew about her second marriage, so there were no flowers, no blessings, and no grand wedding, but it made her feel incredibly secure, at least more so than her first marriage.

She may not love Mr. Q, but she missed the time she spent living with him and the children. The feeling of being a peaceful, ordinary family was something that Ace could never give her!

"You seem to be in a good mood."

Ace slowly walked down from the second floor. He saw Joanna humming a song while pruning the flowers. With a faint smile, he inquired curiously.

"I am in a good mood."

Joanna looked up at the man, then moved a rose close to her nose and smelled it. She could not contain her smile. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

She did not really like roses. She thought they were too bright and too cliché. But today, she was in such a good mood that even the roses looked pleasant to her.

"Mind sharing why?"

Ace sat down across from Joanna. He crossed his slender legs in an elegant posture.

"Sorry, I can’t, because even if I told you, an emotionless iceberg like you wouldn’t understand my happiness."

Joanna was incredibly smug because she was in a good mood.

But more importantly, it was because she felt like she had at least gained victory over Ace in this matter.

Because Ace had no emotion, no matter how excellent or successful he became, he would never experience the happiness of having a "home".

Ace was not angry. He wore a faint smile on his handsome face and looked at Joanna with a hint of indulgence in his eyes. "For example?"

"Fine, since you insist, I’ll chat with you for a bit."

While placing the trimmed flowers in an expensive vase, Joanna chatted with the man casually, "I’m actually curious, what would an emotionless iceberg like you consider as happiness?"

"Happiness?"

Ace narrowed his eyes slightly and fell into deep contemplation.

"Let me guess. When you acquire several new companies? When Moran Group’s stock rises? When you defeat your competitors?"

Joanna looked at the man with some sympathy. She shook her head and said, "I don’t know what you consider the ultimate happiness to be, but it definitely isn’t an ordinary family life, right? The happiness of having a harmonious relationship with your significant other or seeing your children grow up healthy would probably only make you scoff."

Ace’s bright eyes darkened slightly. He said helplessly, "I feel like you’ve never known the real me."

Joanna was slightly stunned, then she smiled bitterly and said, "Maybe, but it doesn’t matter anymore. I have my own life to live, so I don’t need to know the real you."

If it were in the past, she would have hoped to know everything about him and be able to walk into his heart.

But now, she had embarked on a new journey. The person she should get to know was her husband and not "a random person".

At that moment, Joanna’s phone rang.

"Miss Pierce? Are you home? There’s a delivery for you."
