Chapter 173

*Call Sandra back, Ellison finally spoke, breaking the silence in the car.

William stiffened at the mention of the name. He asked, “Mr. Elson, Sandra… isn’t she a bit too… intense?”

Ellison paused for a beat and weighed the situation.

Joycelyn sensed something was different. She asked, “Sandra? A rl?”

“Yes,” said Ellison with a nod

Joycelyn chuckled and leaned in a bit closer to him.

Her long eyelashes fluttered, and her clear eyes were filled with gaftiness. She teased, “It looks like she’s a girl you’ve known for a long time. Who is she?”

“Someone I consider a younger sister,” Ellison replied and his expression did not change. He was calm and composed.

Even if Joycelyn leaned over and stared at him for a long time, his expression did not change at all.

He was the type of man who kept his composure no matter the situation, and it only made Joycelyn intrigued

There were always women in Ellison’s circle — friends, business associates, acquaintances. He rarely spoke about them, and they certainly never made it to the forefront of his attention

But Sandra… that name alone piqued her curiosity. It was sweet–sounding, almost disarmingly so. She must be someone extraordinary.

“I’m looking for a bodyguard for you. Why are you trying to be nosy?” Ellison saw that Joycelyn was already in front of him! so he simply reached out to hold her small face and pulled her forward.

Joycelyn was caught off guard and was kissed by him. Her face subconsciously turned red.

William is still driving!‘ she thought.

She reached out and slapped his hand away. Without the support of his hand, Joycelyn fell into his arms.

“Ouch,” she gasped, her face pressed against his muscular chest.

Her actions and reactions were like that of a young woman.

“She’s the girl Luna picked up from the hospital. Luna’s son and daughter–in–law used to be close friends with my parents but they died in a car accident. She’s the little girl Luna picked up from the hospital morgue.”

Upon hearing this, Joycelyn was stunned. She looked up at him, her heart aching for Sandra. She did not know how to comfort him.

Then…” Joycelyn murmured.

“She’s 22 years old this year. She looks sweet, but she’s tough. She’s been practicing martial arts since she was a child and has fought masters abroad. She rarely comes back, Ellison replied. He was not immersed in the pain of the past.
