"But I'm remarried now," Joanne said.

Jack pondered for a moment and looked reluctant. "It's not like you cared about that marriage contract, and isn't it only valid for three months? In that case, I'll wait for three months, and then I'll give Tail and you a warm home."

"I appreciate your kindness, but I can't marry you."

Things would not work out, and she would rather break his illusion sooner than later.

Jack had no lack of women and even less of beautiful women.

His family would never accept a woman like her who had a child and was divorced.

It was better not to start than to make everyone awkward later.

Jack felt frustrated.

"Am I that unpopular? I don't think I'm inferior to Edwin."

"No, you're a playboy, but not a total jerk," Joanne said seriously. "You can't compare yourself to a man like him."

Jack was surprised by her compliment and laughed. Only there was a hint of dismay in his laughter.

In the past, he wooed women by just giving them gifts.

They were superficial.

This time was different. Joanne was his sister's bestie, and he was quite serious. Unexpectedly...

He was rejected.

And it really embarrassed him.

Noticing the frustration of her brother, Ada patted Joanne on the shoulder and joked, "Jo, you're right. You can't marry him out of gratitude. He's too fickle and not good enough for you. Besides, you still have me, and same-sex marriage is legal in some countries."

Her words sent a shiver down Jack's spine.

"Don't try to steal my woman. Doesn't your heart belong to Patrick alone?"

When they were in Mourpa, Joanne and Ada stuck to each other all the time.

He prayed that they would not turn gay.

Joanne was speechless. "Isn't this off the topic?"

Tail's safety was what mattered now.

Deep down, Jack wasn't ready to give up.

Women are creatures of emotion.

Joanne was feeling low at that point because of Tail's situation. It would be easy to touch her.

He was confident that he could win her heart as long as he showed more sincerity.

When her daughter's safety was at stake, she would need a broad shoulder to lean on.

So, after picking up Joanne and Tail, Jack dashed to a hotel and booked a romantic candlelit dinner.

The table was covered with flowers, and balloons of love floated in the air.

In such an atmosphere, he didn't think that Joanne could still reject him.

Once she swayed, he was sure there would be an opportunity.

Edwin checked the surveillance near the billboard.

The billboard was so large that it was difficult to replace any traces.

But the screws on the billboard showed signs of manual loosening.

In other words, someone had done it on purpose to scare Joanne, forcing her and Tail to stay away from him.

Before Edwin had time to figure out if it was Sharon's or his father's doing, he received a message from Sonia.

"Mr. Atherton, bad news. Mr. Brown booked a star restaurant, had a bunch of roses shipped over, and hired a famous saxophone player. I think he's going to propose to Mrs. Atherton."
