"Ace, can I become your sugar mama too?" of course, Layla was only joking around when she threw this question at Ace.
She did this because Ace and Scarlett were lovey-dovey in front of her without caring about her feelings.
It was cruel!
It made her jealous!
That was why she decided to throw a shocking question at Ace.
Scarlett widened her eyes for a second before finally turning her head to look at Layla.
'What?! You want to become his sugar mama too?!'
She found it hard to believe what she was hearing.
Previously, Layla lied to Ace, saying she was his sugar mama. She even took advantage of his lost memory to hold his hands and kiss him.
And now, she suddenly wanted to become his sugar mama.
This was too much!
This was wrong!
After all, Layla had a lover, so she should not ask such a question.
Like Scarlett, Ace was also shocked.
'Hmm?'
However, he did not show it on his handsome face and only stared at Layla.
'Is she joking around again?'
He believed she was joking around again.
"Layla, you should stop jok-" before Ace had finished his words, he was interrupted by Scarlett.
"Layla, have you forgotten that you have a lover? How could you want to be his sugar mama when you already have a boyfriend?" Scarlett knew that Layla had a boyfriend because she had met him several times.
At this moment, Scarlett forgot what sugar mama was.
Ace shifted his gaze from Scarlett to Layla.
'Hmm? She already has a boyfriend?'
He thought Layla did not have a lover because she kept seducing him since they met at the waterfall.
She even did not fight back when he kissed her in the pool. That was why he was a little shocked after finding out that she had a lover.
"Hmf! I don't want to talk about him!" Layla crossed her arms over her chest before finally turning her head to the other side.
From her words and behavior, anyone could tell that she was quarreling with her boyfriend or something along those lines.
"Are you quarreling with your lover again?" Scarlett knew that Layla often quarreled with her lover lately.
"Yes." Layla nodded her head. "I even suspect that he is cheating on me. This is making me angry!"
"As I thought, Ace is much better than your lover." Scarlett praised Ace. "He always treats me well and never make me sad. He even risked his life to save me a few days ago."
Ace smiled softly at Scarlett.
'What a good MILF!'
He did not expect her to praise him in front of Layla.
"He risked his life to save you a few days ago?" Layla felt a little jealous of Scarlett.
"Yes. At that time, I was…." Scarlett told Layla what had happened to her after fighting against White Ape.
Of course, she knew about it because Ace had explained everything to her. After all, she fell unconscious after Jason hit the back side of her neck.
Scarlett did not feel shy when she told Layla everything because Layla was her good friend.
Otherwise, there was no way she would reveal the truth because it would ruin her good reputation.
As Layla was listening to Scarlett's story, she kept glancing at Ace.
'It looks like his love for Scarlett has not diminished one bit until now. She is so lucky!'
Ace had risked his life to save Scarlett several times because she always helped Scarlett take care of him in the past.
'Sometimes, it makes me jealous of how lucky Scarlett is.'
She often wished to have a lover like Ace, someone who was willing to risk his life to save her without thinking twice.
After Scarlett finished telling everything, Layla uttered, "It seems like Ace really care about you."
"Of course, because I have raised him well!" Scarlett did not forget to praise herself.
"It makes me want to become his sugar mama even more now." Layla kept joking around. "He even gave me a sword and armor at Unique rank when I was pretending to be his sugar mama. I'm sure he would treat me better if I were his sugar mama."
"Hmm? He gave you a sword and armor at Unique rank?" Scarlett was not angry at Ace when she found out about this because Layla was her good friend.
Layla took the sword given by Ace from her space ring. "The sword and armor I'm wearing right now were given by Ace. Ace, you are not going to take it back, are you?"
"No. You can keep them. It's my gift for you." Ace told Layla to keep the sword and armor because she was Scarlett's good friend.
No!
He was a man, so he would not take back something he had given to someone because it would hurt his pride as a man.
"Thank you, Ace." Even though Layla had guessed it, but she was still happy after hearing it directly from his mouth. "By the way, you still haven't answered my question. Can I become your sugar mama too?"
"No!" Ace refused instantly.
"So cruel!" Layla pretended to be sad. "You hurt my heart, Ace."
"Hehe." Scarlett giggled after seeing Layla's expression.
"But I will accept it if you want to be my sugar baby." Ace joked around.
"Why can't I become your sugar mama?" Layla inquired.
Before Ace could answer Layla's question, Scarlett uttered, "Layla, he can only have one sugar mama and that place has already been taken by me."
The corner of his lips twitched.
'Scarlett, why did you answer her question?'
That was the question that appeared in his mind.
"Then how about accepting me as your wife?" Layla threw another joke question.
"You can become his third wife after breaking up with your boyfriend." Scarlett responded.
"Third wife? Who is the second?" Layla asked curiously.
She was sure that Scarlett would become his first wife because Scarlett had been taking care of him since his father passed away, and she was also his sugar mama.
"The first wife is me and the second wife is Evelyn." Scarlett knew that Ace had a special relationship with Evelyn.
Black lines formed on Ace's forehead because Scarlett kept answering Layla's questions as if she could represent his answer.
'Well, this is not serious talk, so I will let it slide.'
He let Scarlett answer Layla's question because it was not serious talk.
"Evelyn?" Layla tilted her head to the left. "Who is this Evelyn you are talking about? Do I know her?"
"She is the fairy Evelyn from Misty Palace." Scarlett gave an honest answer.
"Ah, that Evelyn, huh?" Layla finally knew the person Scarlett was talking about. "Ace, how did you know her?"
"I met her in the Framingburns forest two months ago." Ace gave an honest answer.
"Then why did Scarlett say she would be your second wife? Do you have a special relationship with her?" Layla was even more curious about their relationship now.
"Don't listen to her nonsense." Evelyn only left a letter before returning to the Misty Palace, so he did not know about the feelings she had for him.
"I see. Then I agreed to be your sugar baby!" Layla joked around.
"That's good decision!" Ace played along with her joke.
"Alright. Let's stop this joke and eat now." Scarlett wanted to eat the grilled fish immediately.
"Alright." Ace and Layla nodded their heads.
The trio talked as they consumed their grilled fish.
Time went by quickly, and without realizing it, it was already 04:00 pm. Ace, Layla and Scarlett were currently at the waterfall.
It was time to take a bath, so they traveled to the waterfall. After all, they would feel uncomfortable if they slept without taking a bath first.
"Ace, are you sure you don't want to join us?" Layla was currently taking a bath with Scarlett.
"Ace, come here and join us." Scarlett added.
The corner of his lips twitched.
'They are indeed pervert ladies!'
Actually, he wanted to join them, but he was afraid that someone would peek at Scarlett and Layla later.
That was why he decided to pay attention to their surroundings. "I'm protecting you guys from peeping tom right now."
He forgot that he could use his clone to do the job.
"Are you sure you want to pass up the opportunity to take a bath with two beauties, Ace?" Layla kept teasing him.
"You can reward me in bed if you are touched by my actions." The meaning of his words was clear.
Sex!
They could satisfy him in bed if they were touched by his actions.
"Then Scarlett will satisfy you in bed tonight." Layla stated.
"What about you?" Ace inquired. "Didn't you say you agreed to be my sugar baby?"
"Sure. But if you can turn me on." Layla gave false hope.
Of course, Ace knew it was only false hope.
'She keeps teasing me, huh? Is it because she is Scarlett's good friend?'
Like a gentleman, Ace did not peek at them.
He took his work seriously as if they would reward him later. Twenty minutes later, Scarlett and Layla finished taking a bath.
After putting on her clothes, Layla uttered, "Ace, it's your turn to take a bath."
"Sure." After saying that, Ace rose to his feet.
'Hmm?'
Layla and Scarlett were still standing in front of him.
"What are you doing here? I want to take off my armor now." he told them to leave indirectly.
"Ace, I have seen your naked body many times, so don't be shy." Scarlett responded, "Just take off your armor. Don't mind it."
"That's right, Ace." Layla added.
"What? Do you want to see my naked body?" Ace inquired.
