The Unstoppable Comeback Of the Unrivaled Ex-Wife-Chapter 484 - 472

Joanna felt nervous when she turned around and spotted Clara. "Clara, when did you get here? Why didn’t you say something?"

"I’ve been here for a while. It looked like you both were having a good chat so I didn’t have the heart to interrupt." Clara slowly approached them, her tone indifferent and cold.

’Darn!’ Joanna knitted her eyebrows. She did not expect that Clara would overhear her conversation with Ethan.

As someone with high self-esteem, Clara must be very hurt!

"Don’t listen to his crap, Clara. He is just speaking casually. He is not such a person, he..." Joanna anxiously tried to make excuses for Ethan, but then realized that the man’s words were simply unforgivable.

"You don’t have to defend me, darling, I am that kind of person. It’s good for Clara to know this early so that she will give up on her unrealistic fantasies." Ethan put his hands in his pockets. The corners of his lips curved upwards and his gaze was carefree and charming.

Clara looked at the man coldly and said disdainfully, "I admit that you are skillful in flirtation, Ethan, and I did have some moments of confusion during the days we were on Sun Island, but the confusion I had is still far from admiration. I would never love a man like you."

Ethan shrugged carelessly. "I know. I am not an elite or brainy man. I am just a jerk who lives casually. I won’t ask for your love."

"I don’t like you because I despise you. You are a coward deep down. You don’t even have the guts to face your heart. You are the most cowardly man I have ever met, and you’re even more cowardly than my ex!"

"Coward?" Ethan rubbed his chin, as if she had poked his sore spot, and laughed. "How am I a coward? What is wrong with not liking conflict?"

"Aren’t you a coward since you don’t even have the courage to face your own feelings?" Clara snarled, "I was wondering why I felt you were sad though you looked happy. It’s the sorrow of unrequited love, isn’t it? I understand now..."

"Um, what do you understand?" He was confused for real this time. Did she really know his true feelings?

"You like Joanna, your best friend’s girl." Clara had figured out his true feelings this time and pitied him. "It’s a shame that you only dare to love her secretly and do not dare to pursue her. This is why you use your playfulness to hide your true feelings, then stay by Joanna’s side as her best friend. You even deliberately flirt with me to use me as a cover-up because you are afraid that your true feelings will be exposed!"

"Um... is that what you think?" His handsome face stiffened immediately. ’Why is this girl not reacting the way a girl normally would?’

Was she some kind of mind reader who could see into his heart?

Clara, on the other hand, continued to criticize him. "You’re such a coward! You’re old enough to stop having a crush on someone. Joanna is already single now anyway, so act like a man and pursue her openly!"

"Um, you are right. Darling is single now, so maybe I really can try to woo her. But the thing is, I am only good at talking, so I don’t know where to start!" He frowned slightly, then sincerely asked Clara for advice. "You are her best friend, so you should know her best. Why don’t you teach me how to do it?"

"Hmph, maybe there’s hope for you yet, since you asked the right person." Clara looked angry at first, but when she heard that he wanted to pursue her best friend, she suddenly got fired up. "It’s easy. First, you must be handsome..."

Joanna stood beside them, totally dumbfounded. ’Are these two alright? Why do I have to deal with this? Why are they openly discussing how to pursue me?’

What’s more, they were very excited about it. It was like they were in their own world, and no one else was around.

"Eh, well..." 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

Joanna tried to join their conversation but found that they were too engrossed in their conversation. She had no chance to get a word in.

Hence, she decided to leave first. "I’ll leave you to your chat. Bye."

When she was back in the dining room, Quinton had almost finished cooking. He was now enthusiastically arranging the dishes on the table.

"Sis, you’re home. You’re just in time for the meal. Where’s Ethan and Clara?"

"They’re still chatting."

"What are they talking about? They’re so engrossed in it."

"Er, they’re discussing how to gain my heart."

Joanna became quite helpless.

While arranging the dishes, Quinton’s hands stiffened briefly. He asked tentatively, "What do you think of Ethan?"

"Although he’s not very serious, he’s a good man. He even saved my life."

"That’s good. You can consider him."

"Oh, please. Quinton, why do you behave like Clara? Why do you keep setting me up with some random guy? Didn’t you promise to take care of me for the rest of my life and ensure my safety without me getting married and pregnant?"

"That’s true, but I hope that you can get a good lover. What’s more, Ethan is Ace’s buddy. He should have a deep understanding of Ace. Well, we’ll get a higher chance of winning the battle after turning the friend of your enemy into our confidante."

Quinton raised a profound statement.

Both Ethan and Clara were back now. They were after the same target, so they were no longer at daggers drawn with each other now. In fact, they were at peace with each other.

Quinton now joined them, and the three of them shared the same goal.

While having dinner, Quinton and Clara both regarded Joanna as a dish and nearly served her to Ethan.

"Come, have some prawns. Prawns are Joanna’s favorite."

While Clara was talking, she shot Ethan a look.

Ethan laughed on his own. He picked up a prawn, then put on a pair of gloves and started peeling it patiently.

"Yes, that’s good. You accept advice readily. Keep this in mind: Ladies don’t peel the prawns themselves if they want to eat it."

Ethan nodded before he placed the nicely peeled prawn on Clara’s plate. "Miss, you must be tired from teaching me the entire night. Have a prawn to rejuvenate yourself."

Consequently, Clara was stunned. She stared at him in shock. "Dude, are you out of your mind? Why did you give it to me? You should give it to Joanna!"

"Oh, right. I’ll peel one for Joanna."

He turned around and exchanged a look with Joanna.

Suddenly, Joanna was enlightened. She echoed his words, "It’s fine. My taste has changed. I don’t like prawns anymore. He doesn’t have to peel it for me."

Ethan shrugged helplessly. He appeared to be sad. "Look, she doesn’t even let me peel a prawn for her. She must feel that I have no right to do so. I’m such a loser."

When Clara saw his defeated look, she inevitably pitied him. So, she immediately did him the favor and ate the prawn. "People have different tastes. I’ll eat it then."

"Great, I’ll peel a few more for you."

Hence, Ethan, who claimed that he wanted to pursue Joanna, peeled prawns for Clara one after another.

Sitting in the main seat, Quinton was flabbergasted and confused.

What was happening? Their relationships were too complicated!
