Ellison And Joycelyn: A Love Beyond The Rules

Chapter 191 Chapter 191 Joycelyn greeted Isolde first before turning to Leah Long tno see, Dr. Mason, Joycelyn said calmly, showing nurprise or particular interest.

After handing the bouquet of flowers to Luna, she walked to tolle Grant's side.

Her delicate face, incredibly beautiful yet disarmingly gentle, gave off a calming aura that could heal with a single glance.

"Ah, my granddaughter-in-law! I'm picking out your wedding decorations. Why don't you chave a look? Isolde smiled warmly, grabbing Joycelyn's hand and pulling her to sit next to her. She didn't seem at all worried about her grandson Joycelyn breathed a sigh of relief. Thank goodness Isolde hadn't been told about the recent shocks-two fainting spells were already enough.

"I trust your judgment, Grandma. You decide-Ellison and I will go with your choice," Joycelyn said softly.

It was a good idea to give the elderly lady something to focus on "Dr. Mason, cgivesadvice. Who knows, it might be relevant to you soon," Isolde grinned joyfully as she put on her reading glasses "Dr. Mason is getting married?" Joycelyn was surprised to hear the news.

Previously, Leah had shown an interest in someone off-limits, and Joycelyn had feared she would never let it go.

Yet recently, there had been no further developments.

"Yes, to my childhood sweetheart, Leah replied, her engagement ring catching the light, identical to Joycelyn's. "Congratulations," Joycelyn offered with a gracious smile.

She didn't mind the similar ring design-many people chose the sbrand.

Thank you, Mrs. Grant, Leah responded with a poised smile.

It seemed she was completely unaffected by past tensions.

"Mrs. Grant, didn't Mr. Grant cwith you?" Leah asked.

"He's still occupied, Joycelyn answered, her tone calm and neutral.

"Is it because of the rumors online? Could they be true? With the wedding so close and Mr. Grant's big issue..." Leah began," then quickly paused, catching herself. “Look at me, I've said too much." "What is it?" Isolde asked, sensing that something was wrong “Just smatters at the company. Ellison will handle it," Joycelyn reassured her grandmother-in-law, wanting to put her at case.

Leah quickly added, "Don't worry, Grandma. Mr. Grant has been through much worse and will manage just fine." Isolde nodded knowingly. That boy has weathered storms before; a little more trouble won't hurt. He's probably too busy with work to focus on the wedding, so let him get things done. We don't need a distracted groom at the altar." Leah smiled in agreement, wisely choosing not to push further.

1/3 10-21 Thu, Feb 20 Br Chapter 191 "Dr. Mason, it's getting late. You're newly engaged, so I won't take up more of your time. Is your fiancé waiting downstairs?" Leah, catching the hint, smiled warmly. “Yes, I shouldn't keep him waiting. We have plans? Joycelyn nodded, not insisting that she stay.

After Leah left, Joycelyn went to wash her hands, preparing to join Isolde for dinner, After Joycelyn left to wash her hands, Isolde looked up from her Pad, a sly twinkle in her eyes behind her glasses. "As expected of you, Mrs. Grant," Luna said, offering a thumbs-up Isolde raised an eyebrow, clearly pleased with her assessment.

She had originally thought well of Leal's patience and kindness However, after learning of her more inappropriate intentions, Isolde had begun to have second thoughts This visit had been allowed, but Leah's veiled remark about misfortune hadn't escaped Isolde's notice.

She thought, 'If something were to happen to that boy before the wedding, was she implying my granddaughter- in-law is unlucky?" Isolde's precious granddaughter-in-law was not someone others could casually judge.

Joycelyn, as she washed her hands, didn't forget to send Ellison a quick message, asking if he'd had dinner. But there was no immediate response.

Her worry started to creep in. The Grant Group was facing significant challenges, and Ruby was planning a dinner with Ellison tonight to discuss strategies, Had he already gone to that dinner? After their earlier conversation, Joycelyn found herself more drawn to Ellison.

The pang of jealousy felt uncomfortable, yet was completely undeniable.

She waited for a while, but there was still no reply.

Resigning herself, she tucked her phone away and left to join her grandmother for dinner.

Just as she stepped out, she heard a familiar voice.

Turning off the tap, she rushed out and peered toward the door It was Ellison.

"Aren't you working overtime? Finished already?" Joycelyn's voice betrayed her excitement Ellison handed his jacket to Luna, then walked up to Joycelyn and embraced her before moving toward the sink.

"I saw your message checking on me, Mrs. Grant, so I cright over, he explained, leaning over to wash his hands. Before doing so, however, he leaned down and kissed her gently.

Joycelyn snorted, clearly unimpressed. "I just sent you a message, and you didn't reply when you saw it." Ellison grinned, clearly enjoying himself. “Tim telepathic with you, Mrs. Grant. I can sense it." 2/3 10:21 Thu, Feb 20 Gr.

Chapter 191 Joycelyn rolled her eyes but couldn't hide her smile. "Impl" 8.915% "I saw on your computer today that Ruby asked you out for dinner. I thought you had already gone there, the continued.

"Oh, I left that out intentionally for you to see. Were you jealous Imm?” Ellison laughed drying his handy as he finished stepping closer. He casually pinched her soft check, teasing. "Were you jealous just now? Hmm? Joycelyn puffed her cheeks out, looking all feisty, but she didn't respond.

She definitely wouldn't admit it, but her mind did wander to imagining Ruby throwing herself at him.

But, no way she was going to admit that.

"No." she said firmly, her tone leaving no room for argument.

Ellison leaned in closer, eyes narrowing in playful scrutiny. He field her face gently, not letting her pull away. "Really?" "Fine, just a little." Joycelyn replied, her face turning a shade pinker.

Ellison raised an eyebrow, clearly not satisfied with her response “Just a little?”

Previously, he had been fuming about the men who dared to get too close to her-Liam Liam Nolan and the gigolo.

But now, the fact that she was so calm about being jealous stirred something in him. Just a little?' he thought grumpily.

"Alright, enough." Joycelyn quickly changed the subject, trying to avoid giving him too much satisfaction. "I'm hungry. Let's She didn't want him reading too much into it, so she skillfully avoided a direct answer.

It amused her how happy he was when she got jealous. Usually, he hardly feel smiled, but when he sensed even a hint of jealousy from her, he looked so smug. Like a devilish charmer. Joycelyn suddenly paused, her grin slipping. "Are you done with your work? Everything okay?" Her casual question made his smile freeze. He sighed exaggeratedly, trying to appear moody. "Don't worry about it." Joycelyn, not noticing his playacting, tugged at his shirt, pulling him closer, "Is it serious again?" "It's fine," Ellison replied, keeping up the act, pretending to be more serious than he really was.
