As night fell, Joycelyn changed out of the second wedding dress and put on a simple evening gown.

If she had it her way, she would have changed into something more casual. Then, she would take a walk after dinner. After all, she valued leisure and comfort.

However, she noticed that Ellison was still in his suit and their dinner was being set up on the beach outside.

Thinking of the romantic atmosphere, she couldn’t possibly wear casual flared pants to spoil the mood.

As soon as she came out of the changing room, the attendants went in to get her wedding dress and put it away.

Joycelyn did not forget to admire the island scenery as she headed out.

Ellison had told her that this villa housed the staff. They were to live in the villa area on the island’s east.

This island was quite large and had a total of four villas.

The rich woren’t limited to buying houses and land, they also bought islands

The scenery was even more beautiful than what Jocelyn saw on her previous team–building trip to Sanya. She was at ease and in a very relaxed state.

When the staff saw Joycelyn, they would nod and greet her. She could not understand them and simply smiled.

Wherever she passed by, she was welcomed.

This was the first time she had experienced such a vacation.

Once she got used to the extravagence, it would be hard to live a frugal life. Ellison was probably afraid that she would run away, so he pampered her and spoilt her, making it so that she could not leave him.

Joycelyn lowered her eyes in deep thought and did not notice Ellison walking towards her.

She walked straight into him, and it was Ellison who held her shoulder to prevent her head from hitting him.

“Mrs. Grant, a penny for your thoughts? Ellison asked in his deep and magnetic voice.

Joycelyn looked up at his deep eyes and smiled brightly, “I’m thinking about the seafood dinner we’re having tonight” “T’ll show you.” Ellison took the opportunity to hold her soft hand They walked side by side towards the beach restaurant.

Joycelyn allowed him to hold her hand. Her clear eyes were fixed on his well–defined side profile.

He was not wearing a suit jacket or tie, which made him look more casual and much gentler.

Joycelyn liked to peek at him when he was holding her hand.

At moments like this, he would be focused on the road and wouldn’t notice her gaze.

Stealing a peek at him at such moments was her unique expression of love for him, which also gave her a unique sense of security.
