The Unstoppable Comeback Of the Unrivaled Ex-Wife-Chapter 604

"I miss you and I put you in my heart. As for Joanna... I just feel that she’s very amusing. I just see her as something to relieve my boredom," Ace explained calmly, trying to convince himself as well.

He couldn’t understand his feelings for Joanna. She seemed to be his enemy, and he had no recollection of her, but for some reason, he wanted to be near her. He found everything about her fascinating, as if his body was subconsciously choosing her. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

It was so much more intense than what he felt for Seraphina.

He knew that he loved Seraphina and was grateful for her support; he could pamper Seraphina and even die for her but ... he did not enjoy being with her.

"Really? Is it only because you find her amusing? You don’t feel anything for her?" Seraphina did not believe him. She wasn’t blind-she could see how he fawned over Joanna.

"Do you want me to feel something for her?" Ace stared at Seraphina and asked coldly.

"Of course not! I want to be the only woman you care about."

"You are the only woman I care about."

"I know, but I can’t help worrying because of the recent news "

"What news?"

"Take a look." Seraphina took her phone out and clicked on the photo a paparazzo had sent her, then showed it to him.

It was a photo of Ace hugging Joanna while getting a hotel room.

"I..." Ace heaved a long sigh. He suddenly felt like a cad, and said solemnly, "Will you believe me if I tell you nothing happened between us?"

"Yes, I will. I’ll believe anything you say." Hugging him, she buried her head in his chest and sobbed. "People usually can’t focus on one thing. It’s fine if they wander a little, as long as they don’t leave their path."

Her humbleness made him feel sorry for her, but he felt helpless too when it came to Joanna.

"I don’t know why I’m like this either. I know that Joanna isn’t just anybody, and there is animosity between us. We’re enemies, but I can’t help wanting to get close to her as if... we were once madly in love. Maybe I’m sick. I should get a neurologist to check my..."

"No!" When Seraphina heard that he wanted to check his brain, she became nervous. Grabbing his hand, she lied to him and said, "Your body is slowly recovering, so you shouldn’t always go to the hospital. If not, I’m afraid they’ll think that you’re unhealthy."

She was actually afraid he would find out that she had replaced his memories with Joanna with new ones.

Ace wanted to approach Joanna not because he was a scumbag, but because it was a natural urge that was practically engraved into his bones.

Thus, Seraphina felt that she could no longer delay...

"Ace, do you love me? I want to be your lover!" Emboldened by the perfume, she kissed him deeply. "I don’t care if you care about others-it’s fine as long as we’re together. Maybe you’re only confused because you’ve never had me... After you have, things might get easier."

"After I have you?" Ace looked at her as she tried her best to kiss and touch him. He then sat there, deep in thought. He felt that she could be right...

Ace tried to respond to Seraphina, but something inside him made him stop. "Forget it. I’m a bit tired today." He pulled away and took a deep breath. "You’re tired too, so you’d better rest."

"Ace, you’re pushing me away again. What’s wrong with you? We’ve known each other for years and are about to get married soon... Surely it won’t be this way forever?"

Seraphina’s eyes turned watery in defeat. Any woman would feel bad if a man refused her. Even though some women acted tough, they still were naturally softhearted.

"I’m sorry, I’m the one at fault here. I’m just not ready yet." Clasping his hands, he bowed his head miserably.

Sometimes he wondered if he had a male-specific illness... Why else would he never feel attracted to Seraphina despite loving her so deeply? In fact, he wasn’t attracted to other women either.

The only exception was Joanna... He lost all control around her like some hormonal teenager, and always longed to be near her.

No, it has to be a coincidence.’ He shook his head and stopped his wild thoughts. People had feelings and desires, but most of them depended on the time, place, and environment.

Maybe it had been the environment that caused his attraction. Maybe it was because his body was recovering, or because the weather was hotter that he became more impulsive... In short, it was nothing but a coincidence. "Ace, you don’t have to say sorry. It’s not your problem. Since you’re not

ready, maybe we should try something to get you in the mood..." Seraphina continued eagerly. The defeat had made her braver instead.

Ace looked up at her in confusion. "How?"

"I bought a special perfume. Women will get light-headed when they smell this and men will get more energetic. If both the man and woman smell this, nature will take its course, so... why don’t we give it a try?" Before he could answer, Seraphina took the bottle of perfume out and sprayed it several times in front of him. Ace frowned and stopped her, saying coldly, "You shouldn’t do such dishonest things. It can harm others."

"It’s not dishonest, I’m just doing this to strengthen our bond. If you don’t feel anything for me, it’s only normal for me to try some other methods so you do. It’s not wrong, right?"

"It’s not, but it’s not necessary either. Just go to bed." Ace stood up and put some distance between them, then said condescendingly, "I know you’re in a rush, but there’s no need to stoop this low. Good things take time, and only then do they last forever. Am I right?"

"It’s been so long. If we keep taking our time, things will go badly!" Seraphina punched the sofa helplessly, but there was nothing she could do.

The seller claimed that Enchanted was incredibly effective, but now it just seemed fake.

Why else would they be unaffected even though she sprayed so much perfume on them?

They were not at all aroused or lovey-dovey.

"Forget it, I don’t want to force you. I’m going to bed." Seraphina was exhausted both mentally and physically, so she decided to give up. Feeling disappointed, she returned to the bedroom to lie down.

Ace was still in the living room. The lingering scent of the perfume made him uncomfortable. He glanced at his wristwatch and realised it was nearly midnight-the quietest moment of the day and the time he enjoyed the most. He could not be disturbed by anyone under the protection of the night...

He could let go of his worries and just be himself.
