The Unstoppable Comeback Of the Unrivaled Ex-Wife-Chapter 446 - 444
When Joanna heard that, she immediately stopped her rampage. She snatched Ethan’s umbrella from him, lifted her chin, and stood straight.
Even if she was sad, she would only be sad in secret. She would never let the scumbag see her sad...
She posed for a few minutes but did not see anyone or any car coming over. She asked with a confused expression, "Where’s the scumbag?"
"Pffthahaha!"
Ethan burst into laughter. "My good sister-in-law, you’re the cutest and proudest woman I’ve ever met..."
"? ? ?"
"You can stop posing now. I was just bluffing. He must be sitting in a warm presidential suite right now, drinking coffee and getting intimate with Clara. There’s no way he would be out here in the heavy rain."
"You bastard! How dare you prank me!"
Joanna was angry to begin with. Now that she had been pranked, she became even angrier. She was so mad that she grabbed Ethan and beat him up. "Are all the men in the Moran family sick in the head? Why do all of you like to deceive me so much? You really think the Pierce family is an easy target for bullying? I’ll beat you to death!"
Her fighting skills were top-notch, and coupled with the fact that she was angry, Ethan ended up getting beaten like a human sandbag. What’s worse, he was a human sandbag in a heavy rain. It was truly a tragic sight.
Their clothes were all soaking wet by now. Ethan had fallen to the ground due to Joanna’s beating, so he simply lay flat on the ground and let Joanna do whatever she wanted with him. "C’mon, hit me! If it makes you feel better, you can hit me as much as you want..."
"Come on, don’t show me mercy just because I’m good-looking, baby!"
His words sent a chill down Joanna’s spine. She immediately lost the desire to keep hitting him.
She squatted down like a deflated ball. The red umbrella sat upside down next to her like a rose pelted by the rain, beautiful and fragile.
*Sob sob*
Joanna could not hold the tears back anymore. She hugged her legs and bawled her eyes out in the rain.
The heavy rain was the best cover she could have asked for. It covered up the sound of her crying and it covered up her tears. Thanks to that, she looked less embarrassing and less pathetic...
"Alright, alright, I’m sure you feel better now after giving me a good beating. Let’s go back to the car. If we continue to stay in the rain, we’ll both catch a cold..."
Ethan finally behaved seriously. He picked up the umbrella and held it above Joanna’s head.
The scene was strangely aesthetic. You would usually only see something like this in a drama.
While that was happening, Ace was actually sitting before a french window in one of the presidential suites of the hotel, watching them with cold eyes.
His heart was so painful. Jealousy washed over him, almost causing him to lose control.
"Regretting it already?"
Clara leaned against him while holding a glass of red wine and said with a smirk, "Although your cousin is useless, he’s a charming person. He’s good with women. A passionate woman like Joanna Pierce can never withstand such a seductive man."
"There’s nothing to regret."
Ace pried his eyes away and walked back into the room. He said coldly, "If she falls for him that easily, it only proves that our love isn’t strong enough."
Ethan finally managed to persuade Joanna to return to the car.
He closed the windows and turned on the air-heating system.
"Here you go. Dry your hair first."
He pulled out a towel from the driver’s seat and gave it to Joanna who was sitting in the back row. He then found another towel for himself which he used to wipe his wet hair and clothes.
Joanna’s dress was very thin. Now that she was wet, it stuck to her skin and outlined her seductive curves. She looked very sexy.
When she was wiping her body, she felt a bit awkward. She was too embarrassed to lift her clothes and wipe inside.
"Don’t worry, I can’t see anything. I’m blind."
While saying that, Ethan flicked the interior rearview mirror closed and raised his hands.
Seeing the man’s back facing her and the interior rearview mirror closed, Joanna finally felt less awkward. She started to wipe her body more carefully.
Meanwhile, Ethan had no such concern. He took off his shirt and threw it onto the passenger seat, generously showing Joanna his muscular body.
To be honest, his body was just as impressive as Ace’s!
*Ahem!*
Joanna quickly removed her gaze and chastised herself for looking.
"Haha, Joanna, you’re already the mother of two children. Why are you still so shy? Looks like sex with Ace must have been very conservative!"
"Shut up!"
Joanna gave the man a sharp punch on the back and warned him, "Just because I got into your car doesn’t mean you can make lewd jokes with me. If you keep being so rude, get out of the car!"
"My bad. As you’re well aware, my mouth is all I have. I’ll try to control myself."
Getting hit by Joanna made Ethan very happy. He cherished this moment alone with Joanna. He did not want it to end that quickly.
The air inside the car was very warm. The two of them were no longer damp. They gradually relaxed.
Ethan turned on the car stereo, filling the interior of the car with lively music. It happened to be a soft rock song, which was a genre that they both liked. The song was Michael Bolton’s "How Am I Supposed To Live Without You".
♪ Tell me how am I supposed to live without you~ Now that I’ve been lovin’ you so long... ♪
The song’s rhythm complemented the raindrops outside the window. As a former lead singer of a band, Joanna was still quite sensitive to music. She immediately nodded along to the dense guitar and drum beats.
Ethan smiled unconsciously. "Now that’s the Joanna Pierce I know. Carefree and unrestrained. There’s no need to bawl your eyes out for an unfaithful man."
Joanna glared at him. "Stop spreading rumors. I would never bawl my eyes out for any man."
"Then who was the person who ran amok and cried like a baby in the rain and even beat up an innocent passerby just now?"
"I didn’t cry. The rain got into my eyes."
"Fine, fine, you didn’t cry. My beloved lead singer is the coolest woman in the world..."
Ethan agreed with whatever Joanna said.
"But I’m curious. Is that all you’re gonna do?"
Ethan asked curiously, "You said just now you would make my arrogant cousin pay. What’s your plan?"
"I haven’t thought about it."
Joanna sighed. Her face was filled with sadness. "There’s no right and wrong in love. You get together if you like each other and you break up if you don’t like each other anymore. I can blame no one but myself for being stupid. It’s not like I can actually do anything to make him pay. Do you want me to break his leg or something?"
It was only a marriage. If she was betrayed, then she could just get a divorce. There was no need to make a big fuss. That was what she believed.
But if she let him off just like that, she could not appease the anger in her heart.
"I have an idea. You can pay him back without causing him bodily harm."
"I’m all ears."
