She glanced at the aloof man on the sofa, put away her phone, and prepared a simple and nutritious breakfast, along with a cup of freshly ground black coffee.

“Have a bite first. I disinfected my hands just now,” Joycelyn said gently, placing the coffee close to Ellison.

Ellison looked down at his phone, not giving any response.

“Today’s coffee should be good. Give it a try,” Joycelyn added, waiting a moment instead of leaving immediately.

Ellison’s face remained cold and stern as he reluctantly hummed.

He was simply exerting his coldness and arrogance to the extreme.

Seeing no point in coaxing him further, Joycelyn went to the kitchen, grabbed a sandwich, and ate while heading upstairs.

After finishing her breakfast, she stripped the bedding and put it in the wash, then went to shower and wash her hair.

In the living room, Ellison glanced up from his phone at the coffee cup placed closest to him.

The minimalist white ceramic cup emitted a warm steam, with a beautiful heart pattern on the surface of the coffee.

Ellison’s dark eyes fixated on the heart for a few seconds before a slight smile tugged at the corner of his lips.

“Not bad.” he said.

Ellison leaned forward, carefully lifting the coffee cup and examining it for a few seconds. After blowing gently, he took the first sip, ensuring the heart shape remained intact.
