The Unstoppable Comeback Of the Unrivaled Ex-Wife-Chapter 488 - 476

Joanna showed a disdainful expression and looked at William coldly. "I don’t have to inform you about my relationship with him, do I?"

William appeared defeated. He even sounded slightly anxious. "Lei, don’t be mad. I just feel that he’s not a good man. He looks like a playboy. You’d better stay away from him so you won’t get hurt."

"Humph! Even if he doesn’t look like a good guy, he’s better than a liar like you!"

She then grabbed his collar. At the same time, her eyes were full of hatred. "It was merely because of my generosity that I let you stay alive. It doesn’t mean I’ve let bygones be bygones and forgiven you. You’d better don’t test my patience."

"You can hate me or even kill me. But please don’t give up on yourself and get such a man to harm you. You..."

Before William could finish talking, Ethan, who was eavesdropping outside, could not remain calm. He barged into the room again.

"What did you say just now? Who gave herself up? Who is a bad guy? What f*cking kind of man am I? Tell me!"

"Why did you come in again?"

When Joanna noticed Ethan’s deep fury, she had a headache. ’Why doesn’t he remain calm? Why does he like eavesdropping so much?’

"If I didn’t come in, I wouldn’t have known how this despicable man slanders me. I didn’t offend him. Why don’t I look like a good guy? Why did he label me as a playboy?"

When Ethan retorted and claimed that he was not a playboy, he was not very confident. He then added weakly, "I’m just... I’m just fond of making friends with a lot of pretty girls."

Joanna was struck speechless.

William ignored Ethan and looked at Joanna, stating gently, "Clara, you need to stay in the hospital for a week to fully recover, given your condition. I’ll go and go through the admission formalities for you now."

After the formalities were settled, Joanna got to stay in the most luxurious room with the highest standards the hospital could offer.

Her face was no longer very swollen, but it was quite red. She looked particularly frightening.

While looking at the mirror, Joanna was deeply worried. "Oh, it’s over. I think my face will be ruined. What should I do if it can’t be cured?"

However, Ethan was casually playing games at the side. He did not even look up before he said naturally, "There’s nothing to be worried about. I don’t care about one’s face. What’s more, your red face is pretty cute!"

"Ethan, you did it again. My face became this way. Can you be more serious? I notice that you’re insincere..."

Ethan put his phone down and observed her for a while before he replied seriously, "I wasn’t joking. I’ll marry you if your face is ruined."

"Humph! Is it out of pity? I don’t need that!"

Joanna finally received his answer, but that kind of answer filled her with deep pain.

It turned out that he was aware of her feelings, but he purposely refrained from exposing them.

He exposed them now merely out of pity or to make it up to her. It was not because he liked her.

That seemed like a humiliation, given how arrogant she was.

"Go away. I don’t want to see you."

With a cold expression, Joanna pointed at the door and drove him away rudely.

However, Ethan appeared innocent. "What’s the matter? Why do you fly into a rage for no reason? I won’t marry you if you don’t want to marry me. You don’t have to fall out with me, do you?" 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

"You know very well how to infuriate me. I don’t want to talk to you anymore. Go away!"

"Okay, don’t be mad. I’ll go now."

After that, he directly left the ward.

Consequently, Joanna was at a loss for words.

She was infuriated by his frivolous attitude that her eyes turned red. After that, she lay on the blanket quietly and burst into tears.

She hated that kind of feeling very much. He always handled their relationship like an outsider, regardless if they were talking about superficial or serious topics. His emotions would always remain unaffected. She, on the contrary, seemed that she’d collapse at any minute. It made her look like an unreasonable maniac.

...

When Joanna heard that Joanna was hospitalized because of an allergic reaction, she hastily rushed over.

However, she became confused when she saw Ethan leaning against the wall in the corridor outside the ward while playing a game on his phone.

"Ethan, how is Clara? Why didn’t you go into the ward?"

"She’s safe for the time being, but she needs to be admitted for a week for observation."

After Ethan said that, his handsome face was full of innocence. "I don’t know what I did to offend her. She wants to cut off her relationship with me."

"Cut the crap! Clara isn’t an unreasonable person. You must have pushed her limits."

"Maybe."

Ethan looked toward the door of Joanna’s ward. "I’m not a responsible man, let alone one who’s suitable for marriage. It’s wise that she wants to stay away from me."

"What’s wrong with you? Why do you give up and stop bothering? I remember that you weren’t like this. Do you have some misunderstanding between you?"

Joanna looked at him with slight worry.

She felt that he might have some rancor to behave so timidly. He felt something for Clara, but he wanted to pretend to be a playboy.

"No, there’s no misunderstanding between us. It’s just that I know very well what kind of a person I am..."

After a brief pause, he turned off his phone and said with a tinge of sadness, "I admit that I was a bit out of line recently. It’s my problem that I made her misunderstand me. It’s time to end this. We should be back to our respective lives now."

"What’s your plan?"

"I should go home. I won’t see her again if there’s no accident."

Ethan smiled bitterly before he stood up straight and turned around to leave.

After he returned from Sun Island, he realized that he had lost control of his heart.

He should have bid her goodbye, but he was unwilling to do so for such a long time. He even regarded Ace’s sworn enemy as his buddy just to spend more time with her.

Now he was suddenly enlightened. He realized how childish and ridiculous he was.

It was good for both of them to bid each other goodbye sooner.

"You..."

While looking at his back, Joanna instinctively wanted to stop him, but she felt that... it seemed to be unnecessary.

He did not even have the courage to admit his love. He was indeed an irresponsible man.

This kind of man was unsuited for Joanna, who held pure eagerness and impression toward love.

Joanna pushed the door of the ward open and bumped into Joanna, who was eavesdropping behind the door.

"Er, here you are. I... I’m about to go out."

Joanna appeared awkward. Her red face grew more flushed at the moment.

"Stop trying to steal glances at him. He’s gone. If you want to pursue him now, you may be able to catch up to him."

"No, I don’t want to!"

Joanna said arrogantly, "It’s best if we no longer see each other to not exhaust myself."

Looking at her, Joanna inevitably thought of herself. She sighed helplessly. "Alas, we’re timid girls. We’re both unlucky women who share similar ill fates."

At that time, William walked into the ward.

He saw Joanna at a glance. Soon terror and complicated feelings crept up to his face. He appeared flabbergasted. "Miss... Miss Pierce, it’s been a long while."

"William?"

When Joanna saw him, she was shell-shocked.

She thought that such a scumbag like him should disappear from Joanna’s world. Unexpectedly, he’d be so bold to appear again.

When Joanna recalled Clara’s bad deeds, she was fuming with anger. So, she grabbed his collar. "You’re still alive? Why do you pester Clara again? If you’re courting death, let me help you!"

"Miss Pierce, I know that you have powerful means. You can kill anyone you want. I’m not the first, nor will I be the last. Go ahead if it makes Clara happy!" William closed his eyes and said with a profound meaning.

Joanna was confused.

She intensified her grasp and frowned deeply. At the same time, she glared at the man in front of her as though he was courting death. "What do you mean? Why do you make me sound so ruthless and bloodthirsty? Why claim that you won’t be the first nor the last one?"

William was strangled by her grasp around his collar, so he found it hard to breathe. As a result, his face flushed. He said gradually, "I’m sure you know what I meant. Joanna is still around, so it’s inconvenient for me to say that directly. Well, it’s better that only both you and I are aware of some affairs."

"Nonsense!"

When Joanna saw that he was about to die out of breath, she let him go and smashed him on the ground hard.

William awkwardly crawled back up and walked to Joanna to inspect her desensitization.

"Don’t worry. Sleep well. Your face will be cured after you wake up tomorrow."

He sounded extremely gentle. His gaze was very tender too.

"If I’ll be cured tomorrow, why should I stay in the hospital for a week?" Joanna inquired aloofly. She would not even want to talk to him if she did not trust his medical skills.

"Your allergic reaction is too serious, and it may recur. If you accidentally get in touch with something you’re allergic to this week, you may be in grave danger. So, this one week shall serve as an observation as well as a ninjanovel.com protection period. You should stay here patiently until the week is over."

"All right. I’ll stay here for a week then. Please leave if there’s nothing else. Don’t disturb my bestie and me. We want to chat."

Joanna rudely drove him away. She was no longer shy and pure like how she was back then when she was madly in love with him. She exuded deep aloofness and disdain.

"Okay, well... I won’t disturb you guys."

After swallowing briefly, he appeared like he had suffered a great setback. He then secretly left the ward.

After he left, Joanna gave Joanna a thumbs-up. "Clara, you’re good. You can let things go if you want to. You’re straightforward."

She always thought that Joanna was a stubborn lovestruck fool and that Joanna would always be immersed in that disappointing love.

After all, she and William were so madly in love in the past...

Unexpectedly, she could forget about him so fast. Hence, Joanna could not help admiring Joanna.

Joanna smiled lightly. "It’s not that I’m straightforward, but the substitute is more than charming..."

"Substitute?"

Joanna appeared curious. "Tell me. How charming is the substitute you found?"
