The Unstoppable Comeback Of the Unrivaled Ex-Wife-Chapter 440 - 436

"What should I do? He’s here! He’s here! I don’t know how to face him. Hurry up and stop him!"

Clara awkwardly scratched the ground with her leg while blushing, making a hole in the beach beneath her feet.

"Uhh... How am I supposed to stop him? I..."

Joanna was at a loss.

After all, a shameless guy like Ethan would just go wherever he wanted. There was no way she could stop him.

As the man approached, the panicking Clara jumped into the sea and swam offshore.

"? ? ?"

The smile on Ethan’s face disappeared. He was also shocked by Clara’s action.

"What’s wrong with Clara?"

He asked Joanna with a puzzled look.

"Umm... She... She’s just taking a morning swim. It’s a habit she’s had for years."

Joanna came up with a random excuse to cover up for Clara.

Ethan believed her. He had an appreciative look on his face. "It’s a great habit to have. Many of the girls I’ve met are very delicate. They would start complaining after staying too long under the sun, let alone exercising."

"Clara is a special woman. Other women are like fragile and delicate flowers, while she’s like wild grass, always exuding an air of freedom and resilience."

Seeing his expression, Joanna carefully probed, "Sounds like you like my bestie. You have good taste. I’ll give you a thumbs up."

"Of course I like her. In fact... I like any independent and confident woman." 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

"Tch, you playboy!"

Joanna’s face suddenly turned serious. She grabbed his collar and asked, "Tell me honestly. Did you bully her last night?"

"What do you mean by bully?"

Ethan smiled and said, "Perhaps what you thought of as bullying was a wonderful experience for both of us."

"Stop feigning ignorance. You know what I’m talking about. Did you touch her?"

Joanna let out a long sigh and said with concern, "She has a huge mental burden right now, and she doesn’t know how to face you. But you can’t avoid each other forever."

"Why? We’re both adults. But what a surprise. Even though she wears sexy clothes, she’s actually such a conservative person. The contrast is pretty cute."

Ethan remarked while watching Clara swim in the sea.

"Yeah, I didn’t realize that either. She makes a lot of lewd jokes with me, but it turns out she’s all talk... This is all my fault. I was so eager to set you two up that I neglected how she would feel."

Joanna really wanted to give herself a big fat slap.

If Clara suffered a psychological trauma from this, she would never be able to forgive herself!

"Aah, it’s my fault, it’s all my fault. Because I saw how intimate you guys were last night, I thought you had a good impression of each other and just needed a little push... I didn’t expect one of you to be a playboy while the other to be a virtuous woman! You’re people from two vastly different worlds!"

"Hahaha, the playboy and the virtuous woman... I like this description."

"Stop laughing! What should we do now? Will you take responsibility?"

Joanna pinched Ethan hard, hating him for being so unreliable.

"..."

Ethan kept quiet. He stretched and slowly took off his jacket, revealing his muscular body. His body was so perfect that Joanna could not look away.

"What are you doing? Why did you take off your clothes?"

Joanna asked curiously. She then urged, "Take off your pants too if you dare!"

"I’m going for a morning swim, of course!"

Ethan’s beautiful eyes curved into wicked arches. "I won’t take off my pants. Clara might feel shy..."

Then, like Clara, he too plunged into the sea.

Joanna watched as the two figures got closer and closer to each other in the blue sea.

She ran away, but he gave chase, and now she’s caught!

Tsk, tsk, tsk. How romantic.

Joanna could not help but smile. She was almost moved to tears.

She knew her decision was correct. The man she had carefully chosen for her bestie could not be that bad!

"Hurry up and catch up to her, Ethan! Do your best!"

Joanna cheered Ethan on from the shore.

"Alright, that’s enough. Be careful not to catch a cold."

Ace had arrived at some point. He gently wrapped a striped embroidered shawl around Joanna’s shoulders.

"Thank you."

Joanna turned around and gave him a sweet smile.

The two embraced each other like they had for many mornings in the past.

Feeling the warmth of the man’s embrace, she felt a happiness from the bottom of her heart. So this was what it felt like to enjoy peace and quiet with a loved one!

"What are they doing?"

Ace asked affectionately as he wrapped his arms around Joanna and gently pressed his chin against her head.

One of the people in the sea was constantly chasing while the other was constantly fleeing. Sometimes, they would get tangled up. It was indeed hard to tell what they were doing.

"Haha, who knows, maybe it’s just normal animal courtship behavior?"

Joanna smiled and joked, "I have to say, Ethan really knows how to capture a woman’s heart. I don’t think any prey he has his eyes on can escape from him."

"Have you been charmed by him too?"

The CEO of Moran Group asked coldly in a jealous tone.

"What nonsense are you saying? I just think it’s really nice to see them like this."

There was a hint of envy in Joanna’s voice. "Their love is straightforward from the beginning. No misunderstandings, no obstacles. When they get old and reminisce about this, all they will remember are sweet memories."

Some love was just destined to be smooth sailing from the start.

Unlike the love between her and Ace. Even after years of twists and turns, it could still collapse anytime.

"I don’t agree with that."

Ace said seriously, "Any relationship that is genuine would not be smooth sailing because you would be influenced by your emotions, and that’s a very troublesome thing. Of course, it could also be very sweet."

"If you think their love is smooth sailing, that can only mean one of them is not sincere."

After hearing Ace’s theory, Joanna felt as if she had been doused with cold water. She could not help but roll her eyes. "Thanks for that lecture, O wise one."

They call this guy a hopeless romantic, but sometimes he’s really rational.

Therefore, if they were ever to break up one day, he would definitely be the one to let go first.

The two of them admired the scenery quietly for a while, and then Ace said softly, "Something happened in the company so I have to go back to deal with it. You and the children should rest here for a few more days. I’ll come back to pick you guys up after I’ve handled the problem."

Something happened in the company?!

Joanna was curious but did not press him for more information. She merely nodded and said, "Okay."
