The Unstoppable Comeback Of the Unrivaled Ex-Wife-Chapter 318 - 315

Ace looked at Joanna and smiled. "What do you think, Miss Pierce?"

Joanna rolled her eyes out of anger. "You’re all sick. Do we even know each other that well? Why would a bunch of guys have the audacity to ask a woman to roast food for them? I..."

"That’s true!’ Ace smiled vaguely. "After all, you used up a lot of your energy last night. It’s such a pity that I..."

"Shut up!" Seeing how Ace was about to take off his robe, Joanna quickly cut him off. "Fine, I’ll do it!"

She wanted to discuss something in private with Ethan anyway.

There were various ingredients, and a barbecue grill on the green field made up part of the vast backyard.

The sun was blazed with fury. Ace and the other men sat on deck chairs under the canopy, and chatted.

Joanna, on the other hand, sat in front of the barbecue grill, roasting food for them. She had a sour expression on her face.

The roasted pork belly was oozing oil, and the crispy chicken wings were coated with a layer of honey. There was a mouth-watering aroma.

"Damn it! What did I do to end up roasting food for Ace and his friends?" Joanna glanced at the men nearby. Feeling angry, she sprinkled a layer of chili powder on the skewers.

’Tsk, tsk.’ She was suffering because she cared too much about her reputation!

The men were having a good time chatting. They recounted fun experiences they had in the past.

Although Ace was somewhat quieter in the group, he had a strong presence. Basically, the things everyone talked about revolved around him.

"Not bad, Ace. You pissed Joanna off so badly the other day; I was worried you’d stop seeing each other for good. I can’t believe you patched things up in just a few days. How did you manage to get her wrapped around your fingers? Share your experience!" Ethan teased.

The other guys also appeared keen to learn.

"Exactly. Ace might not have been in many relationships, but the quality of his relationships is always high. He always manages to hit the jackpot. Hurry up and teach us..."

Ace appeared aloof as usual. "There’s no technique to be taught. If anything, I think it’s probably because she loves me too much. She hasn’t been able to forget me after all these years. That’s why she wants to win me over with a method like this."

"A-hem!"

The men couldn’t help but cover their mouths while they laughed.

Clearly, Ace was blowing his own trumpet. It wasn’t convincing at all.

Christopher burst his bubble. ’Why does Miss Pierce seem a little upset with you? Are you blackmailing her?’

"Absolutely not. She simply finds me irresistible," Ace said firmly.

This was when Joanna walked over with the skewers she had finished roasting. She forced a smile upon her face. "Guys, the food is ready. Can I leave now?"

Ethan was a troublemaker. He looked at Joanna. "Joanna, Ace said you find him irresistible and still have feelings for him, which was why you willingly roasted skewers for us. Was he just making it up?"

"No. He’s telling the truth." Joanna smiled at Ace. "I do find him irresistible. I roasted these skewers for him. They contain the intense feeling of love I have for him. He’s the only one who can eat them. Don’t try to take any from him!" Joanna exclaimed.

Ace wasn’t expecting Joanna to be this cooperative. He felt a little giddy. After picking up a skewered chicken wing, he began praising her. "I can tell that you put a lot of effort into roasting this."

"Of course. Hurry up and give it a taste. Don’t let my hard work go to waste, " Joanna urged with a smile on her face.

Ace giddily took a bite of the chicken wing while his friends observed in envy.

After that, an intense spiciness began to spread from the tip of his tongue. It felt like it was being cut by a knife, and it was horrible.

"How does it taste, Ace? Miss Pierce roasted it with a lot of love.

We’re already drooling from just the smell..." Moses, the youngest in the group, asked with an envious look on his face.

"Cough!" Ace neither chewed nor spoke. It was way too spicy.

However, at this point, if he said it tasted awful, it would embarrass him too much.

All these years, his ego had already been hurt enough by Joanna’s disappearance.

This was especially true when he went searching for her on the deserted island. In the end, he had to beg for help from his family to safely return to the City. His friends had constantly teased him for this.

Now that he finally had an opportunity to claim a small victory, he didn’t want them to find out the truth just yet.

Otherwise, his friends would tease him even further!

Therefore, despite how spicy the skewer tasted, he still nodded calmly and elegantly. "She put her heart into it. It certainly is delicious."

"Is it really that good?" Ethan asked with a frown.

Why did Ace behave as though he was suffering instead of enjoying?

Christopher was more observant. "Ace, are you alright? Why are you tearing up?"

"It tastes so good that I’m about to cry." Ace glanced at Joanna with a fake smile. "It’s obvious that Miss Pierce has a burning passion for me!" He uttered through clenched jaws.

Joanna nearly burst into laughter at how he was trying to keep it together." Of course. The spicier it tastes, the more love it contains. Ace, you’ve got to eat all these skewers because I roasted them just for you!"

’Hahaha!’ Joanna nearly sprinkled half a can of chili powder on the skewers. If he ate all of them, his lips would certainly swell up like balloons.

She couldn’t help but laugh out loud when she imagined his swollen lips looking like a character in a movie.

Moses, being naive as he was, nearly cried from envy. He carefully raised one hand. "Can I try one of the pork belly skewers?"

Joanna slapped his hand. "No, you can’t. I roasted these specifically for Ace. He’s the only one who can eat them. If you want some, roast some on your own!"

Saying this both boosted Ace’s ego and also made it impossible for him to turn down the offer.

Everyone looked at Ace enviously and with admiration. "Ace, you’re so lucky to have a woman who loves you this much. Stop staring and eat the food. We’re all so jealous!"

Joanna chuckled. "Yeah, that’s right. Hurry up and eat them before they get cold. Don’t let my effort go to waste!"

Ace held the chicken wing skewer in his hand. He honestly didn’t have the courage to take another bite.

Seeing how Joanna seemed to be enjoying the torture he was going through, he wrapped one arm around her shoulder and brought the remaining chicken wing skewer close to her face. "I have already sensed your love. Naturally, I have to share such delicious food with you.

Otherwise, it’d look bad on me. Don’t you agree?"

Joanna chuckled through clenched jaws. "That won’t be necessary. I roasted these for you. I don’t deserve them."

"Of course you do. They’ll taste better if we share them."
