Chapter 109

To avoid everyone’s conversation about romantic fantasy, Joycelyn buried her head and ate an entire six–inch cake.

Everyone just assumed that she was still venting her emotions and did not bother her much.

After all, she had always been very quiet. With the argument today why she was reacting like this to protect herself.

After the celebration ended, everyone started cleaning up, getting ready to clock off and go shopping

Suddenly, Selene wrapped her arms around Aurelia and the others, making secret plans in a soft voice.

At first, no one agreed, but in the end, they were convinced by Selene’s enthusiasm.

“Alright, we’ll do that,” Selene said. “Let’s go see what that mysterious guy is like and help Joycelyn assess him. It’s her first time in a relationship. What if she gets tricked by a scumbag?

She thought. There are no photos of that guy, and no one is allowed to know more about him. It’s Joycelyn’s first time in a relationship. Plus, she has a stunning look and flawless skin. So, she can be easily taken advantage of by a scumbag

Aurelia could not help but express her opinion as she cleaned up. “Joycelyn, is your boyfriend… really nice to you?” she said. “Why do I feel that he’s so strict with you? And he’s quite obsessive.”

Joycelyn thought, Indeed, I got into the relationship too quickly. Everyone is a bit worried. I know that.
