The Unstoppable Comeback Of the Unrivaled Ex-Wife-Chapter 284 - 281

Joanna was embarrassed. Her entire body froze, too scared to move. She smiled and said, "Ah, you’re awake, haha. There was a mosquito on your face, so I hit it for you."

"How kind of you."

The man remained lying down, but his aura was very strong and a bit unruly. He forcefully pulled the woman into his arms and said with a smile on his face, ’ Then, how should I repay you?"

Joanna half-lay on the man’s chest. She did not dare to struggle too hard. She was worried that, if she did, their poses would get even more awkward.

She pretended to be calm and said, "There’s no need to repay me. I was just doing you a favor back. You took care of me all night, fed me medicine, and played the piano for me. Killing a mosquito for you is nothing in comparison."

’That’s right!"

The man said calmly, ’Taking care of a patient is hard work, especially if the patient wouldn’t take her medicine obediently like a good girl. I’ve been busy all night, so now my back is sore and my eyelids are heavy. You wouldn’t think killing a mosquito for me is enough to repay me, would you?"

’Then what do you want me to do?"

Joanna asked through gritted teeth.

This despicable man just turned the tables on her.

"Nothing much. I just want you to massage my shoulders, rub my legs, and sing a little song for me."

Joanna’s expression darkened. ’Don’t push it. I don’t like this kind of joke."

Mr. Q thus let go of Joanna. He looked out of the window at the bright moon which shone like a jade and muttered, "In that case, can you spend some time to chat and moon-gaze with me?"

"Sure!"

Joanna replied with a snap of her fingers. She got up to get some snacks and fruits.

"Let’s chat!"

With a crispy red apple in her hand, she wrapped herself in a blanket, looking carefree.

The man sat upright and looked at her up and down. "Your fever’s gone?"

"Yup!"

"Your cold’s gone too?"

’Yup!"

Joanna bit into the apple and said smugly, "I told you, I have a good constitution. For a little cold like that, I’d be fine after a good night’s sleep."

"You wouldn’t have recovered so quickly if not for Nancy’s medicine."

"Actually, the most effective medicine was your piano..."

Joanna couldn’t help but reminisce, "I didn’t expect you to be that good at playing the piano. It cured the insomnia which has been bothering me for a long time. Because I slept really well, I recovered quickly."

His lips curled into a smile. "There are still many sides of me you have yet to discover, but we have plenty of time."

Joanna stared at the man. She had a strange feeling.

Although they were not that close, it felt so natural to chat and gaze at the moon together, as if they were two old friends who had known each other fora longtime.

"Who are you? Do I... know you?" Joanna could not help asking.

Mr. Q did not answer. Instead, he asked, "Who am I? Is that important? Have you developed any special feelings for me?"

"Nope!"

Joanna got goosebumps. She explained, "I just feel very relaxed when I’m with you, like you’re an old friend. You’re different from what I’ve heard."

"Since it’s not important, there’s no need to delve deeper into it. Strictly speaking, you and I are just a buyer and a seller. You give me the island, I give you the money. That’s it."

’That’s true."

Joanna nodded.

She must not have been thinking right. All he did was persuade her to take the medicine and play music for her, and that was enough to make her think that he was a kind person and lower her guard. She was simply too naive!

Joanna took a deep breath and secretly raised the wall around her heart a little higher. She asked Mr. Q, ’ What do you think of the island? When can we sign the contract, and more specifically, when can you transfer the money?"

Liam’s situation was urgent. She needed the money as soon as possible.

Mr. Q could not help smiling.

The woman changed her attitude so quickly.

A moment ago, it was "we’re like old friends", but a moment later, it became "hurry up and pay me".

"I like the island. I can transfer the money to your account anytime, but..."

He paused for a moment. He obviously had extra conditions.

Joanna pursed her lips.

She knew things wouldn’t go so smoothly.

He was the "Night Demon", the man who made Carmine Pawnshop what it was today. There was no way he would be that easy to deal with.

"What other conditions do you have? Let me know and I’ll try my best to fulfill them."

"Are you sure?"

He looked her over from top to bottom with a meaningful expression. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

Joanna wrapped the blanket tighter around herself and said seriously, ’Don’t get any funny ideas. I might need money, but I’m not that desperate."

’You’re overthinking again."

He said calmly, "I have no interest in you, but I’ve taken a liking to your daughter... If you let her be my daughter, we can sign the contract right now and the money will be transferred to your account in an hour. What do you say?"

Joanna instantly jumped to her feet and pointed at the man. "You pervert! So it’s my daughter you’re after! I knew there’s no way the Night Demon would be a good guy!"

’You can live without a husband, but your children need a father. You one- sidedly deprived your children of the right to have a father. Don’t you think that’s too selfish?"

Joanna was momentarily stumped by what the man said.

Because that was indeed an internal struggle she had had to deal with for four years.

"When Abby spoke her mind today, she already made it very clear. It’s not that your two children don’t want a father, they just don’t want to put any pressure on you, so they lie and say that having you is enough for them. But the fact is, they long for fatherly love. Why can’t you fulfill their wish?"

"I would if I could, but the role of a father is too important to a child. Not anyone could fulfill that role!"

’That’s merely what you think. Have you ever asked the children what they think?"

Mr. Q sneered and said in a serious voice that carried a hint of sarcasm, " Because the role is too important, you denied them the right to have a father? For four years, they never knew what it feels like to have a father!"

"What a great mother you are, so great that you can dictate their lives for them!" ’Shut up!"
