After Joanna had left, Seraphina was even more thrilled. "Miss Joanna is gone. Nobody can stop us now!"
She looked up at Ace and held his arm as she exclaimed, "Let's go, Ace. Let's get married!"
However, he yanked his arm from her grasp, and his handsome face turned cold. "Enough. It's hilarious when it's a joke, but it's no longer funny when taken seriously."
Seraphina's smile faded instantly, and she cautiously asked him, "Ace, what do you mean it's a joke?"
"When I said I'd marry you, I was joking. Take nothing seriously." His tone was ice cold as he spoke.
"Well, what about when you said we are a strong alliance and would make a perfect match?" She asked hesitantly.
"That was a joke too. I thought you would understand since you have known me for so long," Ace said indifferently.
