The Unstoppable Comeback Of the Unrivaled Ex-Wife-Chapter 534 - 522

He smirked before he calmly said in Jovan’s direction, "The socks I just changed out of are yet to be washed. I’ll have to trouble you forthat."

Jovan was flabbergasted.

Ace continued, "Wash them with your hands. You know that I only wear clothes that are hand- washed."

Jovan’s jaw dropped, and he gaped at Ace like a goldfish.

After that, Ace said to Joanna, "The sunshine seems good today. Help me change my clothes then go out for some fresh air with me."

Joanna was speechless. Ace... had not lost his temper? Not only did he not go berserk, but he was so calm, enthusiastic, and positive that it felt like Jovan’s words did not affect him at all.

It was unbelievable.

"Okay, I... I’ll go and get your clothes," Joanna said, unable to hold back her tears. Even though he had gone through much, he was still so strong!

Jovan’s expression turned livid as he observed Ace coldly. ’That’s impossible! This is Ace we’re talking about. He’s always so arrogant, but now, he’s calm even after being humiliated.’

Jovan felt the most humiliated now. ’No, Ace must have hidden his true emotions. I have to make him lose his temper somehow!’

"Why aren’t you washing the socks?" Joanna took out a suit of clean clothes from the wardrobe to help Ace change into them. Her expression turned scornful when she saw Jovan standing there without any intention to move.

However, Jovan stood between Joanna and Ace as he said, "Ace, I told you she’s my girlfriend. Isn’t it inappropriate to ask your cousin’s girlfriend to change your clothes for you?"

"How outrageous!" Joanna could no longer take it, and rolled up her sleeves to beat up Jovan.

Ace chimed in, "You said it yourself – I’m a blind guy. I can neither see nor touch. I’m left with no desires, so what’s inappropriate about it?"

"You..." For a moment, Jovan had no way to argue.

"Step aside. Didn’t you say you wanted to take care of him? All you do is talk ceaselessly. Hurry up and wash his socks." Joanna picked up the socks Ace had just taken off and rudely threw them on

Jovan’s face.

Jovan’s face turned red in outrage, but he picked up the socks so he could stay with Joanna and said, "Okay, I’ll wash them. I’m good at washing socks."

"Pfft!" Joanna was amused by Jovan’s annoyed expression. Frankly, Jovan was indeed crazy, but he could adapt well. He could even act humbly when he needed to.

"By the way, Ace, your beard is ruining your image. I advise you to shave it!" Jovan turned around and said sweetly before walking away. He wondered why Ace was calm regardless of how much he provoked him. After dwelling on it, Jovan felt that it must be because of Ace’s funny beard.

Joanna burst into laughter, unable to hold it in any longer. She also found it weird that Ace was so calm today given his usually bad temper. Now, it turned out to be because of his funny beard.

The overbearing president had become an amusing character, so of course, people would be dumbfounded.

Ace’s expression grew gloomier, and his voice was icy as he asked, "Is it very funny?"

"Oof, n... nope!" Joanna immediately stopped grinning and stood up obediently. She didn’t even dare to breathe too loud.

She had to admit, despite his sickness, his innate aura was still rather imposing. Thus, while he expressed anger, the atmosphere became rather cold, and she was smart enough to know when to stop.

"Uhm, I didn’t mean to make fun of you. I... I just haven’t finished shaving you." Joanna looked for an excuse carefully, aware of the tense atmosphere.

Hehehe, I saved the photos anyway. I can just look back on them in the future.’

"No need." Ace reached his arm over to the table and looked for the razor. He then shaved his stubbles clean by going around his entire neck with the razor. He completed the entire process with practiced ease, as though it came as second nature to him.

Joanna was stunned, pointing at him. "So you could do it yourself! That looks way better than what I did! Then... Why did you ask me to shave for you?"

From her point of view, helping a man shave was an extremely personal task, just as much as helping someone blow dry their hair. Only those in romantic relationships would do this for each other.

He could’ve done it himself, but why did he ask me to help? Isn’t that just plain flirting?’

’Could it be that... he remembered something and... felt something again?’

"Because I wanted you to, that’s why," Ace replied nonchalantly, a smile appearing on his handsome face.

’Ugh... What utter nonsense!’

Joanna took a deep breath and composed herself. She tried to sound rational, saying, "You heard about it earlier, right? I’m Jovan’s girlfriend, so don’t ask me for such favors anymore. I don’t want my boyfriend to misunderstand."

"Really now?" Ace smiled coldly. Although blind, he was rather sharp and managed to see through Joanna’s heart." Why are you lying?"

"I’m not lying. Jovan really is my boyfriend. Didn’t you hear how much he let me punch him just now? If we weren’t dating, he would’ve defended himself." Joanna pursed her lips and spouted the bunch of nonsense in a serious tone.

She actually didn’t intend to trick Ace either, but she had no other choice; it was to prevent him from ever catching any feelings for her. Otherwise, her departure would only result in an absolute heartbreak.

She didn’t want him to feel any more miserable than he already did.

"Sure, if you say so," Ace responded sarcastically. His expression seemed conflicted.

Although he was blind, he wasn’t dumb. He could sense how much Joanna rejected Jovan, and the two didn’t have any chemistry at all. There was simply no way that they were a couple.

"But I can tell that Jovan’s feelings towards you are true. You two could certainly try being together, to be honest." The man said softly, expressionless.

"You want me to... try dating him?" Joanna froze.

It was obvious that she never expected him to think this way. Not only was he not falling for her, but he was even pushing her to date someone else as well.

This made her realize she was merely overthinking, giving herself unnecessary worries.
