Ellison And Joycelyn: A Love Beyond The Rules

Chapter 88

When Leah saw that Joycelyn didn’t respond, her smile turned a litle awkward. T I just wanted to be friends, and I may have overstepped.”

didn’t mean to put Mrs. Grant on the spot.

Leah not only gave herself an easy way out but also gave Joycelyn an escape, though it made Joycelyn seem even more uncomfortable,

With a faint smile, Joycelyn replied, “Leah, you’re overthinking just slow to warm up, and most of my time goes to being with Ellison. I’m not sure I’d have time to chat even if we exchanged contact info. Besides, taking care of Isolde is more important. Our matters can wait,”

She didn’t want to ignore the topic and risk Isolde thinking she wasn’t interested in having children, so she used the excuse of building relationships with Ellison to dodge the question.

After all, no elder wants to see their younger relatives unhappy of without children.

Her calm, measured response, despite not wearing any flashy brands, radiated an air of quiet elegance that handled the situation perfectly.

Leah’s smile faded a little as she realized Joycelyn had skillfully sidestepped her.

“Isolde, I really envy you. You have such a wonderful granddaughter–in–law. Now I understand why Mr. Grant keeps you hidden like a treasure and doesn’t tell others about you,” Leah said with a sweet, almost overly flattering tone.

Joycelyn, ever observant, picked up on the subtle implication–that their marriage, kept private, made it seem like something to be hidden, like an affair.

She wasn’t upset, though. Her expression remained neutral as she shrugged sheepishly, her eyes soft with affection as she looked at Ellison. “My husband is so good to me, and Isolde is so kind to me too. I really feel like the happiest person in the world.”

She declared her love for Ellison in front of everyone, even using a term of endearment.

Ellison’s lips curled into a gentle smile, and his gaze, filled with affection, made his emotions blatantly evident. Joycelyn felt her face heat up, unable to withstand his intense gaze. She quickly moved to sit beside Isolde, gently linking arms with her. ‘Isolde, with such amazing doctors around, you’ll get better soon. Once you’re well, I’ll not only be with him. but also spend time with you every day.”

words were not unlike Leah’s compliments, and they made Isolde’s mood brighten immediately.
