Susan was adamant that she would not open the door until Ace and Joanna reconciled.
Meanwhile, Joanna was on the verge of losing her mind in the room.
"Don't you think there's something wrong with your mother, Ace? What is she attempting?" Joanna lamented hopelessly, "When I initially married you, she saw me as a monster and wouldn't let me get close to you at all because she was worried I'd take advantage of you. But now she's locking us up like animals because she wants us to reconcile?"
"You're right. My mother's greatest dream right now is for us to have a grandchild for her to play with. We should be grateful she hasn't drugged us." Ace couldn't help but grin and nudge her. "Even if you wait until tomorrow, as long as her aim is not met, she will try even more bizarre methods to get us together. So, I propose that we try something."
"Try… what?" Joanna choked out, her cheeks flushed.
