The man's expression stiffened. His gorgeous eyes still remained unfocused as he replied, "I wish."
"You…" Joanna felt rather helpless after noticing his pitiful appearance. She waved her hand slowly in front of his face. "Can you really not see?"
"I have no reason nor interest in pretending to be a blind man," Ace responded coldly, his elegant face plastered with visible pain.
"I'm so sorry, you're just way too smart. I couldn't help but doubt you. I… I'm such an idiot!" Joanna gave herself a couple of light slaps out of guilt.
Ace was quite a prideful man. He was already feeling quite depressed because of his disability, and yet he was being doubted for it regardless…
'This was no different than trampling all over his insecurities. I'm such a disgusting person!'
Ace maintained an expressionless face, still facing forward as he spoke dismissively, "So are we continuing the bet?"
Joanna bit on her lip, feeling rather uneasy. "Only if you want to."
