Ellison And Joycelyn: A Love Beyond The Rules

Chapter 81

Chapter 81

After Joycelyn confessed her feelings, tears started to fall uncontrollably.

At first, Ellison was worried she was still in shock, his heart aching for her. But when he saw her little lips quiver and heard her cry, his heart relaxed a bit.

“Why are you crying if you like me?” he said, squatting beside the bathtub and gently pinching Joycelyn’s face, a soft smile playing on his lips.

Seeing his warm and handsome smile only made Joycelyn cry harder. I don’t know… I just want to cry.”

It was her first confession, and especially to a man like Ellison, she felt a bit guilty, shy, and awkward.

So, she covered her face with her hands, trying to hide..

“I want some time alone. Can you leave for a while?” Joycelyn mumbled, feeling some regret after confessing. She wasn’t sure how to face Ellison now.

She had agreed to go along with the idea of marriage to please her family, but now, confessing like this seemed to break that promise.

Ellison’s voice was calm, and his tone gentle when he replied, “I fine. I’ll help you wash, and it’ll be quick.”

There was no hint of teasing in his voice–only genuine care.

Joycelyn sniffed, her voice soft but a little playful as she refused, No, I can wash by myself. I’m fine. You can go outside.”

“Alright, I’ll wait outside for you. Call me if you need anything.” lison looked at Joycelyn, noticing her awkward posture, and his smile faded a bit, replaced by a gentle helplessness.

Joycelyn nodded, not taking her hands off her face, and Ellison left the bathroom, closing the door behind him. He decided to wait until she finished before having a proper conversation.

After a while, Joycelyn took her hands away, revealing a tear–streaked face. She glanced towards the door.

“Why does everything have to be so awkward?” she muttered to Herself, biting her lower lip.
