“We’re about to dock. Finish up, and we’ll head down,” Joycelyn called out as she came back inside.

She started tidying up and gathering her things, leaving Ellison to his meal.

“Don’t rush,” he said, not bothering to move.

“Take your time. I’m not exactly quick at packing anyway,” she sal, folding clothes efficiently as she worked.

Her hands worked quickly, sorting everything with practiced ease. Even without ironing, she folded shirts so neatly they could’ve come straight from a store display,

The movements were so smooth and precise, it was the kind of thing that could satisfy anyone with a touch of OCD.

Ellison watched her for a moment before commenting. You’re pretty good at that

“I used to work retail during summer breaks. I folded shirts all day,” she said with a proud little smile, stacking the folded pile to the side.

Folding Ellison’s clothes, though, felt oddly different. It wasn’t just a chore; it gave her a sense of belonging.

It was like her life had quietly settled into this new rhythm as a wife, one she hadn’t expected but somehow felt right.

Joycelyn shook her head to snap herself out of the thought.

“Why are you shaking your head? What’s going on in there?” Ellison asked, his curiosity piqued as he polished off his meal.

“Nothing you’d get,” she shot back with a playful pour.

Ellison raised an eyebrow and took a final sip of his drink before strolling over to her.

“So, who used to handle all your clothes? William?” she asked, glancing up at him.

“At the office, yeah. At home, the housekeeper,” he replied with a shrug.

“And who does the washing?” she pressed, her brows furrowing in curiosity.

There wasn’t a maid around, and the butler rarely showed up. The guy was practically a mystery.

He smirked. “No one. I never wear anything twice.”

Joycelyn stared at him, momentarily speechless.
