Ace didn't reply to Joanna's question but proceeded to survey the villa.
"The layout doesn't work. The hall is too cramped, the dome looks awful, and the staircase is too steep. It needs a complete renovation. The decorations are so ancient they look like leftovers from the Republican era. The carvings on the pillars at the entrance aren't exquisite enough, either. It's best you knock it down and start from scratch."
Ace continued to nitpick on everything about the villa in an arrogant tone, and Joanna was thoroughly confused.
Was there something wrong with this man? He still thought of himself as her husband, did he?!
"Do you have that much free time on your hands, Ace? Did you get a degree in interior design when I wasn't looking? You don't need to point out anything about my house!"
Ace was currently standing in the middle of the living room, staring hard at the landscape painting hanging on the wall and ignoring Joanna's moody words.
