Ethan instantly felt deflated.
Joanna was indeed not like ordinary women.She was way too smart.She could easily see through him.It wasn't as easy as he thought.
Never mind the other stuff—Ethan had spent the entire evening running around the dock, and he couldn't even find Joanna.
Defeated, that was when he finally went to Ace to gather some intel.
Feeling a little awkward, Ethan tried to change the topic.
"Ace, what are you doing? You're holding a bamboo tube.Are you performing a magic trick?"
Ace ignored Ethan and started to focus on shaking the bamboo tube.
After five or six shakes, a bamboo stick fell to the ground.
The old man picked it up and read the text on the stick, and a complicated expression emerged on his face.
"What are you looking for, young man?" he asked.
"I want to know if she and I still have a chance," Ace said coldly.
Needless to say, by 'she" he was referring to Joanna.
