Chapter 36

Joycelyn wasn’t fully awake yet, but the little puppy in her arms was already wide awake, barking at Killion

“Rocky,” Joycelyn mumbled sleepily, patting the puppy in her arms.

The puppy grew more excited, barking louder at Ellison

“Shut up!” Ellison’s voice was cold and sharp, his tone cutting through the air as he glared at the noisy puppy.

Startled, the little dog immediately burrowed its head into Joycelyn’s arms, whimpering softly, as if it had been deeply wronged.

Joycelyn was completely jolted awake by the sound. She blinked her drowsy eyes and looked up at Ellison, who was standing a few steps away.

“You’re up,” she said groggily, her voice a little muffled by sleep.

“You slept here last night?”

“Yeah.” Joycelyn nodded sheepishly, looking at him with a small smile. “The puppy was scared and kept barking

“I was worried it might disturb your sleep, so I came downstairs to keep it company for a while. I must’ve dozed off” She gave a bashful laugh, her pale face flushed with embarrassment.

Ellison didn’t respond immediately. His expression remained unreadable, but his dark eyes seemed to be holding some unspoken emotion.

Joycelyn blinked up at him, instinctively pulling the puppy closer to her chest.

“For a dog, you really went all out,” Ellison said, his voice flat and indifferent. Clearly, he couldn’t understand why she’d spent the entire night sitting outside with a dog.

Joycelyn gave an awkward smile, clearly picking up on his displeasure. She didn’t know how to reply to that.

“But it’s really pitiful,” she said softly, her voice tinged with sympathy as she gently stroked the puppy in her arms. “It’s only month old and doesn’t have a mother anymore.”

“I’ll have William find a dog trainer. Let it stay with them for a few days,” Ellison said, still maintaining his cool demeanor. But at least he didn’t push her further.
