The Unstoppable Comeback Of the Unrivaled Ex-Wife-Chapter 676

"There are a lot of things you don’t know," Jovan said wearily.

’No, I do know things! Although I’m a maid, I’m no fool. You’d rather give up your eyes and body to be a disabled person to ease

Miss Pierce’s mind, but what about Ace? He only values profit, so his love can’t be compared to yours at all!"

"So what?" Jovan’s deep-set eyes were blank and listless. "It’s not like you can overcome everything with love."

"I’ll stop if you don’t want to win her over, but Miss Pierce has been seriously injured lately. She can’t take care of you either..."

"What did you say?" Instantly, Jovan’s body tensed and he asked urgently," When and how did she get hurt? Is it serious? Why didn’t you tell me?"

’I... I..." It had been a long time since Eloise had seen Jovan this agitated. Frightened, she swallowed and answered, "I thought that it might affect your mood, so I decided to inform you only after I got more information about it..."

"What happened? Tell me!" Jovan demanded coldly as he clenched his fists. Joanna was the only light in his dark world, and he couldn’t bear it if anything happened to her.

’I heard it was an activity organized by her kids’ kindergarten. She fell off a high platform and hurt her lower back... But I don’t know the specifics because that’s all I heard on the news.

Eloise’s tone was filled with trepidation. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

"She fell..." Jovan’s heart pounded in his chest, and he didn’t dare think about it. He took a deep breath and ordered, "Go to her hospital now and ask around. I want accurate information on this."

"I can do that, but I’m the only one taking care of you now. Is it alright if I leave you alone?" Worried, Eloise watched his desolate form. She regretted telling him about it, seeing how troubled he was.

"Don’t bother. I won’t be okay if she’s not. Go now," Jovan urged her anxiously.

"Alright." Eloise was about to leave but Jovan quickly added, "Wait, the sunflowers seem to have bloomed in the backyard. Do

pick a bouquet for her; I’m sure it’ll smell nice."

"Okay, I will." Seeing the tenderness in his eyes made tears roll down Eloise’s cheeks. She felt that people shouldn’t fall in love so easily. In the past, Jovan was a very rational person, but now, he was merely a lovestruck fool who had sacrificed everything for his unrequited love. He had given his heart entirely to Joanna.

Ace always went to Joanna’s ward late at night after that day. Sometimes they argued, sometimes they talked, sometimes they just sat in companionable silence.

Joanna eventually got used to his presence, and stopped trying to drive him away. She had even helped Ace drive other visitors away for fear that he might bump into them. However, some part of her felt disappointed in herself because she had gotten closer to Ace even though she promised to stay away from him.

"My lower back still hurts. Once I get better, you’re the first person I’ll drive away." It was yet another quiet night, and Joanna

boldly declared her intentions as she munched on the black velvet cake that Ace had secretly brought for her.

Coldly, Ace replied, "You’re all talk and no action. Get well and drive me away quickly then."

"I won’t let you go that easily..." Joanna said fiercely, then sweetly asked, "Is there more cake? I want to have more."

The deliciously delicate black velvet cake was hard to get because only ten of them were sold daily. Besides, Quinton had been controlling her diet strictly, so it was hard for her to eat desserts.

Ace had easily discovered this weakness of Joanna’s and had easily used it as bait to force her to cover for him.

"Yes, there’s more. Open your mouth." Smiling, Ace fished out another cake and spoke to her tenderly.

Joanna couldn’t move at all, so Ace bringing food to her relieved her boredom. She obediently opened her mouth and waited for him to feed her. Although their actions were rather intimate, she felt that it was worth it when she bit into the cake.

"This cake is amazing!" The smooth taste of the cake lingered in her mouth, taking away all her exhaustion and sadness.

"Eat slowly. I’ll buy it for you again tomorrow," Ace spoke tenderly to her as if he was coaxing a child as she gobbled the cake up. However, Joanna ignored him and eagerly munched on the cake he fed her. Suddenly, she accidentally bit his finger, and Ace felt electricity surge through his body. Heat prickled his skin, and he stared at her in shock.

’Ah, sorry. I didn’t mean to bite you, I just..." Joanna’s face turned red and she immediately backed away, apologizing to him.

’Do you want more?’ Ace’s eyes had darkened, and his intense gaze was glued to her mouth.

’No, thanks." Awkward and breathless, Joanna couldn’t look at him or the cake. She wanted the ground to open up and swallow her.

"Wipe your mouth if you’re done eating," Ace said huskily, staring at a bit of cream on the corner of Joanna’s lips. It made her look innocent and seductive, like a kitten who had eaten some stolen food.

’Oh, okay... Hand me a tissue." Joanna licked her lips awkwardly, thinking she must look like a glutton who would do anything for food.

"That’s unnecessary," Ace murmured.

"What?" Joanna looked at him in confusion.

"You don’t need a tissue paper."

"Huh? What do you mean?’ Joanna was getting angry now.

"Well, I can help you with that." Ace closed his eyes and leaned down to kiss her.

"Umm, what are you doing..." Joanna’s eyes widened helplessly.

Cradling her face in his hands gently, Ace kissed her deeply, licking the cream off her lips. The kiss was fervent and passionate, filled with his love and desire for her, and he only broke it off after a while.

’I think... I’ve got all of it.’ Ace rubbed his swollen lips with his finger and said throatily.

"Ace!" Joanna snapped, her face burning. "You’re completely out of line! You think you can do whatever you want just because I can’t move? I’m going to get someone to catch you so you can’t run away
