Ellison And Joycelyn: A Love Beyond The Rules

Chapter 259 "Ellison, this is Mr. Richard Schultz. His father was a good friend of your grandpa's, and he's here to pay his respects on behalf of his father, Isolde introduced.

"Mr. Schultz, it's an honor to meet you," Ellison said politely, extending his hand in greeting "Mr. Grant, it's an honor to meet you finally," Richard replied with a smile, shaking his hand.

"Do you two know each other?" Isolde asked with curiosity.

"The Schultz family is ranked near the top of the Forbes billionaire list," Ellison said in a low voice. "This is my wife, Joycelyn Maynard.

"Hello, Mrs. Grant," Richard said politely, extending his hand toward Joycelyn. "The Schultz family ranks near the top, but unlike the Grant family, we're not number one." He added with a playful smile.

Joycelyn took off her sunglasses and politely shook his hand. "Hello." Richard gently shook Joycelyn's fingertips. When he noticed her removing her sunglasses, his eyes brightened involuntarily. Realizing his reaction might have been inappropriate, he quickly introduced his children. "This is my younger son, Jerome, and my youngest daughter, Bellina." "Hello, Mr. and Mrs. Grant," Jergreeted with a nod, his eyes cold and his tone indifferent. He appeared a bit older than Joycelyn, with an imposing presence. His features were similar to Richard's, though he exuded a strong sense of distance, making him seem somewhat aloof.

Bellina was relatively young, with delicate, picture-perfect features and almost translucent skin. Even her voice carried the sweet, melodic tone of a young girl. "Hello, Mr. and Mrs. Grant, she greeted cheerfully.

From the moment Bellina saw Ellison, she couldn't bear to blink, her gaze fixed on him. She snapped out of her daze when Jerreminded her to greet them. Though she appeared to be greeting both of them, her eyes- shining with a playful curve-were still locked on Ellison.

There was no hiding the awe and admiration in her eyes-she looked utterly smitten, as if it were love at first sight. As for Joycelyn, Bellina barely spared a glance; her attention was mostly elsewhere.

Joycelyn didn't pay much attention to it. She had complete confidence in Ellison's self-control and assumed it was just a fleeting thought from a young girl.

"Mr. Grant is so handsome," Bellina couldn't help but praise, her admiration evident in her voice.

Ellison merely pressed his lips together and shot her a glance. Seeing that he didn't respond, Bellina seemed a little disappointed. Turning around, she tugged at Jerome's arm and muttered, "Jerome, he's so handsome. It's such a shhe's married. Otherwise, he'd make such a great husband! I like him!" "Bellina, we're at a cemetery," Jersaid, indulging his sister but also recognizing the inappropriateness of the situation. "And besides, he looks much older than you. He's too old." Bellina pouted, lowering her head but occasionally stealing glances at Ellison from the corner of her eye. 'He's not old at all, not one bit. He's the most handsman I've ever seen, no exceptions!" Bellina had been pampered since childhood, and her personality had becspoiled and unruly.

Joycelyn noticed the furtive glances Bellina had been sending. As they were leaving the cemetery, she playfully ed Ellison in a low voice, "Mr. Grant, Miss Schultz looks at you a little differently." "Is it the look of a fool?" Ellison replied in a low voice, leaning in to whisper in her ear.

Joycelyn shot him a playful, teasing glance. The two of them walked ahead, hand in hand. From behind, it looked as though 1/3 73% +13 Chapter 259 Ellison was whispering in her ear, their closeness giving off an intimate vibe, It was the first tBellina had seen such a handsman, even more so than her brother. Not only was he handsome, but he also had the charm of a mature man that completely captured her heart.

Seeing Ellison open the car door for Joycelyn and help her inside, Bellina immediately jogged up and leaned against the window. "Mr. Grant, the car at my place is too small. Can I ride in yours?" Richard and Jerdidn't manage to stop her.

Since Isolde invited the Schultz family for dinner, Bellina naturally joined in. In her mind, no one would refuse such a request for a first-tmeal with the Grant family. However, Ellison was no ordinary person.

Ellison glanced at Bellina inside the car, pressing her face against the window. Her eyes were filled with eager anticipation. With a cold look, he firmly rejected her request. “My grandma's car is spacious and has a reclining feature. Miss Schultz, why don't you sit with my grandma?" With that, he wound up the window.

"Hey!" Bellina didn't expect Ellison to be so cold. "Mrs. Grant, I'd like to sit with you." Seeing that her request with Ellison would not work, she turned to Joycelyn, her voice sweet, hoping she might agree.

Joycelyn wasn't about to make things difficult for herself by playing the good guy. "Sorry, Miss Schultz, grandma Isolde's car is much more comfortable indeed," she replied with a polite smile.

No one could see inside the car once the windows were fully rolled up. However, Joycelyn could see Bellina outside, pouting with a look of resentment on her face.

"Let's go," Ellison instructed, paying her no mind, as he signaled the driver to head back to the Grant family estate.

Bellina stood there, watching the car disappear into the distance, before she burst into tears. Jerquickly stepped forward to comfort her, gently touching her shoulder.

"Bellina, be good," he soothed in a soft voice. "Mr. and Mrs. Grant are a om couple, and it wouldn't be appropriate for a child like you to sit with them." His tone was calm and tender, trying to ease her upset.

"But I just want to ride in the scar with them," Bellina whimpered, her voice quivering as tears started e: to fall. She looked as though she had been deeply wronged, her pouty expression only adding to her sense of injustice. Richard smiled politely and gently apologized to Isolde. "Bellina doesn't quite understand,” he said. “I'll go and calm her down." "Go ahead," Isolde said with a kind smile, not stopping him. Her expression was warm and understanding. "Bellina, stop being mischievous. What's wrong with our car? I'll have your favorite new one ready for you later, okay?" Richard quickly stepped forward, his tone gentle and coaxing.

Even though she wasn't his biological daughter, the Schultz family had always pampered her, treating her like their own and showering her with care and affection.

"No! I want to ride in that car! Daddy, tell him to cback and pickup! I want to sit with them!" Ellison's indifference deeply hurt Bellina, who had never been denied anything.

The more she spoke, the harder she stomped her feet, crying even harder. "I just want to sit in his car. Why does he have to be so mean to me?"

In Bellina's world, everyone was every supposed to cater to her every whim. When things didn't do her way, she Would throw a tantrum, making it seem like the world was about to turn upside down. 2/3
