His defined chest was soon revealed. There was no fat on it at all, and it was broad and muscular.
Joanna inhaled deeply, and eagerly continued unbuttoning his shirt. His abs were about to be exposed.
However, before she could see them, Ace grabbed her hands. His face was flushed as he demanded, "What are you doing?"
He felt like she was taking advantage of him. Damn it, this woman wanted to violate him!
Shocked, Joanna said with a stupefied expression, "Ah! I... Didn’t you ask to start? Are you shy?"
She knew for a fact that the more handso a man was, the more likely that he would be shy. After all, many won yearned to take advantage of such n.
"I asked you to shave my beard, not take off my clothes..." He said amusedly, then leaned closer to her. "I’m curious though... What were you going to do after taking off my clothes?"
"Ah? So, you want to do that?" Joanna felt so awkward that she wanted the ground to open up and swallow her. She cursed inwardly, ’Joanna, oh, Joanna! So many years have passed, so why do you always expose your immoral behaviour when you’re faced with this man? How humiliating!’
"I’m so sorry. I wanted to shave your body hair first. Since you don’t need that, I’ll shave your beard now." Joanna smoothed her hair and tried to retrieve her dignity shalessly.
Although Ace was blind, he could imagine how awkward and embarrassed she was. He suppressed his laughter and said solemnly, "Thank you, but I don’t need you to shave my body hair."
Joanna picked up the razor again and started shaving his beard seriously. She applied shaving cream around his chin before she carefully shaved the stubble around his face. The whole process went on rather smoothly.
They were extrely close to each other, and Joanna’s faint scent and warm breaths lingered on Ace’s face, distracting him.
"Wait a mont. It’ll soon be over." Joanna’s eyes glead in mischief. After shaving his beard, she covered her mouth and laughed secretly.
"Hmm, I’m a genius. I did such a great job of shaving your beard. I have to take photos of this!" She took out her phone and took several photographs of his face.
In the photographs, he was no longer dispirited and haggard. His face was clean without stubble, but a small part of his beard was left on his philtrum. Despite his noble bearing, he looked quite silly.
It was all Joanna’s doing.
She burst into laughter, and could not even stop taking photographs. ’Oh gosh, it’s too funny. I’ll take more photographs, so when I leave him in the future, I can look at these and reminisce about the past. I’ll be very happy!’
"What are you laughing at?" Ace frowned and asked.
"Oh, gosh... It just gets funnier!" She took photos of his frowning expression. It was indeed hilarious when he appeared fierce with that kind of beard.
"Stop laughing!" Ace reached out and grabbed her slender waist, pulling her body close to his. He looked at her intently and murmured, "Tell . Were we... in love?"
Joanna couldn’t say a word, and didn’t dare to move as she stared at Ace in shock.
The thing they had was more than that. They had been deeply and passionately in love with each other. However, she could not bring herself to tell him the truth.
What a dilemma! She was afraid of him forgetting her, but at the sa ti, she was worried that he might recall who she was.
At that mont, the door opened, and a man’s voice said sarcastically, "Yes, she’s in love with a mber of the Moran family, but that person is ... not you."
Jovan walked into the room, an irritated expression on his face.
Joanna felt awkward, and quickly pushed away Ace’s hands, putting so distance between them.
Ace imdiately saw that behaviour as guilt at being caught. It also proved that Jovan was not lying.
"So, you’re saying that you guys are a couple?" Ace’s eyes turned cold as he asked gloomily.
"Ace, you’re so smart. You guessed right..." Jovan slowly walked to Joanna and hugged her shoulders intimately. "My girlfriend and I are quarrelling, so she turned to you to annoy . Don’t take it seriously."
"Jovan, that’s enough. Cut the crap!" Joanna was irritated by the pesky man, so she glared at him fiercely and elbowed him hard.
Jovan winced in pain, but was secretly happy. Though he didn’t understand why, he felt that she noticed him more when she was fierce with him.
"Baby, don’t be mad at . I know I was wrong. Please don’t use Ace as a tool. He’s blind and disabled now. If you play with his feelings, he’ll go mad." Jovan smirked as he stared at Ace.
He knew how humiliating this was for the arrogant Ace.
"Jovan, shut up!" Joanna could neither argue nor speak frankly, so she was very frustrated. If Ace wasn’t around, she would have taught Jovan a lesson!
Jovan didn’t take her seriously, and continued mockingly," Ace, my girlfriend is a kind-hearted person. She thinks you’re pitiful because you’re blind, so she stays to take care of you. Well, you’re my cousin, so I decided to stay and take care of you too. With and my wife taking care of you together, I’m sure we’ll serve you well and let you have a great ti."
He was waiting for Ace to beco angry and drive Joanna away. After all, the greatest humiliation for a man was pity from a woman, especially when the man was as arrogant as Ace.
Of course, Joanna knew Ace well, and she knew how painful Jovan’s words were to him. Hence, she hurriedly explained, "Ace, don’t believe a word he said. That’s not the reason I want to stay and take care of you..."
"It’s fine." Surprisingly, Ace was extrely composed. "I don’t think there’s anything wrong with having additional help."
