Chapter 200

Leon had always been single, which was, in itself, kind of hilarious.

After delivering his toast at the wedding, Isolde shared it in the group chat with her closest friends. Everyone found it utterly amusing. No one knew how others reacted, but for Joycelyn, Sandra’s relentless teasing of Leon was pure entertainment.

The usually brash young man ended up looking downright gloomy by the end of it. That night, Joycelyn couldn’t stop laughing. Even after she fell asleep, she dreamed of herself laughing.

The next morning, she woke up naturally. Glancing at the clock, she saw it was already 9:30.

‘Wow, I really slept in! Yesterday was so busy with the wedding, and I didn’t even do anything crazy last night. Still, I slept like a log,’ I said. When Joycelyn finally went downstairs, she found only Sandra at home.

“Sandra, it’s just you here?” she asked, mildly surprised.

“Yup! The two elders headed back. Ellison went to the office to handle something, and Leon left too. It’s just me and these two little furballs.” Sandra was playing with the two dogs, her voice playful and sweet.

“Have Grandma and the rest returned to the hospital? Why aren’t they at home after dinner? Have you had breakfast?” she said.

“I’ve eaten. I’ve made breakfast for you. It’s in the kitchen…” Sandra was playing with Rocky and Lucky. It was obvious that she liked puppies very much and was a very innocent girl.

‘How can someone be this adorable and still be practically unbeatable in combat?‘ she wondered.

Despite her sweet, charming demeanor, Sandra was incredibly skilled and capable. Joycelyn admired her for her boldness and self–assurance, wrapped in a layer of youthful naivety.

Ellison had mentioned to Joycelyn that Sandra would be her little sidekick from now on.

‘I can’t believe I need someone as cute as this to protect me. Goodness, this is too much for my heart to handle!‘ she wondered.

Joycelyn’s tone softened instinctively as she spoke to Sandra. “Are you sure you don’t want to eat anything else?”

“Nope, I’m full!” Sandra turned to give Joycelyn a bright, sugary smile. Joycelyn felt her heart melt. Fortunately, you got married to Luna. She met a soft–hearted god and was raised well.
