Ellison And Joycelyn: A Love Beyond The Rules

Chapter 281 When Lucy saw the calm but hurt look on Haddy's face, the anger she had felt initially melted away.

94 She allowed herself to calm down before trying her best to sound gentle and patient. “Haddy, this is work. I didn't let my personal emotions get involved. What are you trying to do?" "I didn't do anything. I just don't want you to have any more contact with him." There was a faint air of desolation on Haddy's gentle face.

Lucy was very angry as she felt he was being unreasonable. Yet his tone sounded like he had been wronged so it made her look like sscumbag when she yelled at him.

"That's my business. It has nothing to do with you, has it?" Lucy lowered her voice.

"Yes, it has." The displeasure in Haddy's soft voice was clearly discernible.

-13 "What has my business got to do with you?" Lucy crossed her arms and glared at Haddy's warm and handsface with her attractive sparkling eyes.

"You slept with me. I'm your man. So your business is my business now." Haddy did not back off and argued back defiantly.

Lucy stepped forward and placed her hands on the desk. Her rosy lips curled up slightly as she looked at Haddy's handsface. Someone who looked as cultured and refined as Haddy was likely to be a well-educated, decent fellow.

In terms of romantic relationships, he wasn't exactly naive. On the other hand, he wasn't a suave smooth-talker either. In fact, he was downright unexciting and never beat around the bush at all.

Lucy's beautiful eyes stared at him without blinking. After a while, she said something shocking. "Haddy, was it your first tthat night?" Haddy was already thirty-two years old. He couldn't possibly still be a cherry boy. Not when he was so good- looking and a social elite to boot Lucy had said this to taunt Haddy, but his answer made her feel that she was the despicable one. "Yes. Haddy locked eyes with Lucy.

"What? No, no way!" Lucy was shocked. She immediately straightened up and scratched her head awkwardly. She didn't know what to say to Haddy anymore, so she simply turned around to leave the office. However, after taking two steps, she changed her mind and tried her best to convince him.

"Look here... the relationship between a man and a woman isn't as simple as you think. In this world, just because a person slept with you doesn't mean that person is in love with you." Compared to Lucy's hemming and hawing. Haddy was forthright. He was like an innocent boy who wanted a straight answer. "Then why did you sleep with me? Is it only physiological needs?" "I drank too much that day, L. Lucy felt like a quibbling slut who had just met a moral judge.

"If a person really drinks too much, they won't feel anything. It's the sfor both men and women. Drunk sex is just a pretense," Haddy explained in a clear tone.

Lucy cursed and swore under her breath. The truth was that she was just drunk and lustful.

"Then what do you want?" Lucy felt that she should have a good talk with this guy.

= Chapter 281 < 94% 11 Previously, she thought that he was a mature man. After such an incident, people would generally pretend that it had never happened and carry on with their lives normally like any mature adult.

From the looks of it, this gentle and refined fellow could be a stubborn guy who valued relationships.

Haddy got up from his seat and walked to Lucy. She subconsciously took a few steps back. “Let's talk nicely." "Lucy, I'm not a wanton man when it comes to relationships. I admit that after that night, I couldn't forget you. Why don't you letbe your boyfriend?" Haddy gazed into Lucy's eyes, but the restrained passionate desire in his eyes was obvious.

Lucy was no stranger to flowery language, but somehow, she couldn't bring herself to mock Haddy's earnest words.

What an experienced lover feared most was meeting a pure and innocent counterpart.

The other party's sincerity would always make one's heart ache.

Just like right now, Lucy did not know how to respond to Haddy's sincere and honest confession.

Lucy looked into Haddy's gentle and affectionate eyes. Then she took a deep breath and said, "I don't know if you've heard of this saying. Stick to your own kind. Try to look for people with the ssexual experience as you. I'm different from you "I've had many boyfriends. Clement was my first love and also my first man. If you can't even stand the sight of him, you won't be able to take it if you find out the things we have done." Haddy's eyes turned slightly red-rimmed when he heard that Clement was her first man.

Lucy knew that he was bothered by her words, but she pressed on and finished what she had to say before taking a step back.

"You deserve better. As for me, I'm used to having my freedom. I'm indeed sorry about that night. If I were given a second chance, I would never allow it to happen.

"However, it has already happened. Just treatas your tribulation in love. Once you have overcthis tribulation, you will realize that there are many wonderful girls out there. I am but the most insignificant one? Lucy averted her eyes as she said this. She pretended to look at the scenery outside the window and tried her best to be as tactful as possible.

"I do expect my partner to be chaste. However, I'm willing to make an exception for you" Haddy's tone beca little cautious.

Lucy bit her lip. Even though she could not quite bear to, she did not relent and decided to press on.

"Mr. Ferdinand, I'm not prepared to let personal emotions interfere with my work. I'm sorry! After Lucy was done, she did not dare to look into Haddy's earnest eyes.

She had cin with a bang but was leaving with a whimper.

All these years, Lucy had encountered all kinds of men, but only Haddy was gentle, firm, and sincere. It terrified her.

Haddy watched as Lucy left his office. It was obvious that he was quite hurt, but he did not give her too much pressure.

When the personal assistant saw Lucy leaving, he cin to report, "Mr. Ferdinand, the guy from that Yaho company wants to meet up with you again to discuss the collaboration deal" "Time?" "Seven in the evening the assistant answered briskly.

"Mm-hmm." Haddy gave a muffled grunt.

Do you want to Lucy to go as well?" the assistant asked again.

The assistant looked at his CEO with a strange expression and probed, “Mr. Ferdinand... do you have a grudge with that guy from Yaho7" "Is it that obvious?" "Very!" The assistant nodded vigorously.

When he recalled what Lucy said m about Clement being her first love and her first man, Haddy could not calm down. In fact, he was angry and frustrated. Why wasn't he the first to meet Lucy?

"You may go now." Haddy gestured for his assistant to leave. He thenpicked up his phone and sent a message to Ellison. [Check with you.

What will you do if your wife's first love comes knocking on your door?] On the other end, Ellison was very busy but he still took the tto reply to his good buddy, [Sorry, my wife's first love is me.] When Haddy saw his reply, he flung his phone on the desk.

After work, Haddy got ready to go for the dinner appointment. He hadm planned to meet diement in private, but to his surprise, Lily Grant showed up. "Mr. Ferdinand?" Lily was no longer as meek as she had been at the Grant family's premises. She was always charming at work.

She knew very well that having good looks was a good tool at work, so she wore a spaghetti-strap body-hugging dress under her business suit.

Haddy frowned slightly when he saw Lily. "Ms. Grant, you're here too?" "Yes. Our director has an appointment tonight and can't make it." Haddy immediately called Lucy after hearing this.

On the other end, Lucy was having a meal with Joycelyn. She was complaining bitterly and did not hear her phone ringing in her bag.
