The Unstoppable Comeback Of the Unrivaled Ex-Wife-Chapter 480 - 468
Joanna was not joking; she figured her brother was right. She should go back.
Soon after, the group took a flight back to the City.
Quinton came early to pick them up. His gentle and elegant appearance made him look like a kind and knowledgeable scholar. No one knew he was the notorious and fearsome Night Demon who had spilled the blood of many people.
Quinton leaned against a large black SUV and kept his eyes on the exit. When he saw Joanna and the two little ones, he waved at them excitedly. "Sis, over here!"
"Sis?" Clara and Ethan exchanged glances confusedly, then turned to Joanna. "Who is he? Why is he wearing a mask in broad daylight?"
"He’s my brother," Joanna replied honestly, a smile on her face. She had been talking to Quinton on calls lately, but Clara and Ethan had been unaware of his existence.
"Brother? Is he your godbrother?" Ethan frowned and complained in disgust, "What age is this? That’s such an old-fashioned way to hit on girls. I’m going to throw up."
"No! He’s my real brother!" Joanna rolled her eyes at Ethan and said, "Do you think everyone is like you? All you think about is flirting with girls!"
"Real brother? That can’t be!" Clara was in shock. "Joan, aren’t you the only child? Why do you suddenly have a brother? Were you fooled?"
"He’s really my brother. We’re twins, just like you and Liam!" Joanna raised her chin and explained proudly. It was nice knowing she still had family and someone who doted on her.
"Quinton!" Joanna called out to Quinton, then ran over and jumped into his arms like a little girl. Her brother’s embrace was warm and steady.
What was happiness? Happiness was getting off the plane and then seeing your family waiting to take you home.
"Little girl, I haven’t seen you in a while. Have you lost weight? Are you not eating well?" Quinton hugged Joanna firmly, then began to nag like a father, "Didn’t I tell you? There’s nothing more important than eating well. Even if you’re unhappy, you mustn’t starve yourself. Your health is important. Don’t let your anger affect your health. If you fall sick, that’ll make your enemies happy. This won’t do. I’ll cook for you from now on. You have to eat two bowls per meal before leaving the table, do you hear me?" 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦
Joanna was overwhelmed and protested weakly, "Quinton, are you serious? Two bowls per meal? I’ll become fat! What if no one wants to marry me in the future?"
"Then don’t get married! I’ll take care of you. Marriage is not for all women, you can stay unmarried and always be a young girl. If you get married, your husband’s family will only take advantage of you. Why bother getting married?" Quinton said reasonably.
"Right. I want to stay as a young girl all my life and never marry again..." Joanna nodded absently.
"That’s the way to go. Women don’t have to get married or have children in this modern era. I’ll support you and keep you safe and happy all your life." Quinton smiled at Joanna affectionately.
The dialogue between the two siblings made Clara feel a little jealous. Their conversation touched her.
Clara wiped her tears and bumped Ethan with her elbow. "Look at them! How touching... Joan rarely relies on other people, so her brother must be a really good person. I’m so envious!"
Ethan was the only child and could not understand such sibling love. He frowned, looking confused. "Don’t you have a brother? Isn’t your brother the same?"
"No way. I’ve been fighting with my brother since we were young. He always insults me and calls me names. He always says no one will ever want me, and I will never get married. He says I must equip myself with more skills, or I’ll starve to death!" Clara whined.
Clara could not stop whenever she complained about Liam. "Did you know he used to trick me when I was a kid? I handed my pocket money to him for safekeeping, but when I asked him for it, he asked me to pay a service fee. I had to give him two dollars to retrieve a dollar of pocket money. In the end, he took away a big chunk of my pocket money, and I ended up owing him money. Have you seen such a terrible brother?"
"Pfft!" Ethan could not help laughing. "You were stupid enough to give your pocket money to him, so how can you blame anyone else for it?"
"How dare you! You may not sympathise with me, but how can you laugh at my misery? Do you know how much I suffered in my miserable childhood?" Clara burst out, pouting.
"Hahaha. It’s okay, I’m here now. He can’t hurt you anymore." Ethan rubbed the woman’s head, a soft and doting smile on his face.
Clara fell silent. Her cheeks flushed as the two looked at each other bashfully. Clara and Ethan had worked together to take care of Adie and Abby on Sun Island. During that time, they seemed to have
developed feelings for each other, but neither confessed or took the initiative to make a move.
Ethan had been flirting with her daily but never made a proper confession. Clara constantly warned herself not to fall for him. She kept telling herself that Ace was a jerk, so his best friend Ethan would not be any better.
"Hey, what are you two doing? Come here! Let me introduce you!" Joanna called Clara and Ethan over eagerly. "This is my brother Quinton. Brother, this is my best friend and closest friend. Meet Clara, the seventh daughter of the Blackwood family."
"And this..." Joanna looked at Ethan, unsure how to introduce him. After all, Ethan was Ace’s good friend. If Quinton knew this, Ethan might be in danger.
Ethan, however, had a bright smile as he introduced himself without any concerns. "Hi. I’m Ethan. I’m a good friend of your brother-in-law Ace. I’m also very close to Joanna!"
Hearing that, Quinton’s gentle smile turned strained. He had a complicated look on his face. "Oh, Are you Ethan Stuart, the only son of the Stuart family? Ace’s good brother?"
"Yup, that’s right! Do you know me?" Ethan started to talk about his achievements like an idiot, "Speaking of which, I may not be as famous as Ace, but I’ve done some great things... Do you know Carmine Pawnshop? It’s a powerful pawn shop. I spent a fortune and opened a similar company to compete against them. At last, I managed to capture at least half of their customers. Ace took advantage of this opportunity to beat up their boss back then..."
"Ahem!" Joanna coughed hard, trying to stop Ethan from talking any further. Ethan was really good at digging a grave for himself. He went for all the dangerous topics and offended Quinton repeatedly. Did he really want Quinton to kill him?!
Ethan continued to hit Quinton’s sore point. After that, he even added, "You look so gentle. What’s your profession? Are you a college teacher?"
Quinton put his hands in his pockets and said with a half-smile, "I’m not a teacher. I actually run a small business."
"Really? What kind of business? Are we in the same line of work?" Ethan asked enthusiastically.
"I’m in the pawn business." Quinton added, "I run a small pawn shop – Carmine Pawnshop."
