The Unstoppable Comeback Of the Unrivaled Ex-Wife-Chapter 530 - 518

His gloomy eyes lit up like a lighthouse at night, as if her words had sparked a flame of hope in his soul. Elated, he asked her eagerly, "Does that mean that you can’t bear to see me dead?""That’s irrelevant." Joanna huffed impatiently. "I just want to know what you want in return if I beg you to let Ace go."

"Well, it isn’t a price, but rather, a choice you have to make." Jovan took a deep breath. It was rare to see such calmness and rationality on his handsome face. "If you’re willing to live an isolated life with me, I’ll give Moran group up. I’ll even stop meddling in all those disputes and fights.""That’s it? I just have to go with you?" Joanna asked in bewilderment. She thought that he would make an outrageous request such as serving him or something like that, and had been prepared to slap and scold him for being a pervert.

Surprisingly... all he wanted was that.

"That’s right. That’s all I want." Jovan closed his eyes, longing clear on his face. "We’ll find a secluded place away from everyone and live a peaceful life."

"Er..." Joanna was slightly stunned. Jovan wasn’t a stupid man, and he was considered pretty crafty to have been able to scheme and snatch Moran group in the end. However, in the end, he was just a lovestruck fool. He had done so much to get here, but all he wanted was to lead a quiet life with her.

He was clearly an antagonist, but why wasn’t he ruthless and cruel like one?

Jovan continued humbly, "Don’t worry, I just want you to live a quiet life with me. I won’t force you if you’re unwilling to do other stuff."

Joanna retorted, "Do you think you can?"

Jovan said softly, "You won’t know unless you give me a chance."

When Joanna saw his gaze growing hungry, she quickly changed the topic. "It sounds like the price is pretty reasonable. I’ll think about it."

After all, she planned to disappear from Ace’s life the day he recovered, and let him be with Seraphina.

"Okay, I’ll give you three minutes to consider. I want a definite answer by then." Jovan suppressed his joy and pretended to be calm. Three minutes later, Jovan inquired eagerly, "Have you thought it through? Are you willing to leave with me?"

Joanna bit her lip. Although it had only been three minutes, it was enough for her to think it over carefully. "I’ll go with you, but... I have one small request."

"What’s your request?" Jovan was in a good mood as he stared at Joanna with bright eyes. He thought excitedly, ’Yes! She promised me! She agreed to it!’

He felt like he had finally gained victory after eighteen years of fighting; it was an indescribable feeling. He was more than willing to grant her wish – he would give her the moon if she asked him to.

"I can go with you, but I have to be with Ace until he’s fully recovered and can see again," she explained firmly. That was her original plan – it would not change because of anything.

Jovan’s gaze instantly dulled, and he scoffed, "Hmph! How are you going to do that? Do you want to use your blood to heal him again? You’re so weak that you can’t even stand, how much blood do you even have to give?"

"How... How do you know?" Surprise flashed in her eyes. She had never told him anything about the medicine.

"Your body is weak, and there are bloody wounds on both of your wrists. Other than my dear blind cousin, any sensible person would know." Jovan grabbed her arms and looked at the wounds on her wrists, anger and grief overwhelming him. "Joanna, are you out of your mind? He doesn’t even remember you, but you risk your life to save him. What do you want?"

"I just want peace of mind." She looked down and said softly. If she and Ace were not destined to be together, the least she could do was ensure his happiness for the rest of his life. Hence, she wanted to stay with him until he recovered. She also wanted to protect his business for him and find him a woman who truly loved him...

Once she had accomplished this, she could leave him without any worries.

"Well, you might get your peace of mind, but I certainly won’t. " Jovan’s features became tense as he said solemnly, "I

can’t promise you that. I want you to leave with me right away and not sacrifice yourself for him again."

"Well, then we can’t reach a deal. You can leave now." Joanna said stubbornly, and tried to get out of bed to ask Margaret about Ace’s condition.

Ace’s body had just recovered. She could not stop the medicine, and she did not know how long she had been in a coma. She didn’t know if the blood she provided earlier was sufficient.

Jovan blocked her way, agitated. "Be clear. What do you mean? Do you regret it? You don’t want to go with me now?

"I was clear enough. I can’t leave him be, and I’ll have to kill everyone who tries to stop me." Her eyes turned cold as she spoke.

"You... You!" Jovan frowned deeply, feeling defeated. He would have no way out regardless of how meticulous and comprehensive his plan was, as long as he bumped into a stubborn person like her.

"Okay, I won’t stop you. If you must stay with him, I’ll stay with you. However, you must go with me the moment he recovers!" He gritted his teeth as he spoke. It was the

biggest compromise he could make. His initial arrogance was gone, and now, he seemed rather pitiful. He wanted to kick himself for agreeing to it.

Joanna stared at his flushed face, and after a few seconds, she nodded. "Deal!"

She could not understand his stubbornness just the way he failed to understand hers, but the one thing they had in common was... they did not want to have any regrets.
