Chapter 266

Joycelyn was feeling a bit down, but when she saw Ellison’s scheming smirk, she couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

“Luckily, I have you with me,” she said, her voice choking up as she spoke. There was a soft, childlike tone in her voice, making her seem pitiful and fragile.

“That’s also because you cooperated well. Otherwise, how could we have settled everything so quickly?” Ellison put away his phone and reached out to pinch her slightly chubby cheeks.

He added, “I’ve already made an appointment with Kingston. We’ll go now to get your blood type registered and screened to see if we can find your biological parents.”

“There’s no rush!” Joycelyn quickly grabbed his arm with both hands and shook her head, refusing.

Having just escaped from an exploitative family, she hadn’t fully processed everything yet. Or perhaps, the sudden revelation that she had been a foundling left her feeling lost. She wasn’t ready to face her true origins just yet.

Ellison lowered his head and cupped her face gently in his broad palms. He asked in a soft voice, “What’s wrong?”

“Nothing… I just want to go out for a nice meal today. I also want to go on a date. Is that okay?” Joycelyn wanted to shift her emotions, so she took his hand down and wrapped her arms around it.

“Alright, we’ll go now.” Just then, the bodyguard drove the car up. Ellison held Joycelyn’s hand and helped her into the car.

As their car drove off, Bellina and Tanya finally arrived.

“They left. Should we still follow them?” Tanya asked, looking to Bellina for a decision.

Bellina was checking her phone. She glanced at the car disappearing into the distance before looking down again at a message on her screen.

She said, “Not for now. I heard that your poor sister–in–law’s mother is hospitalized here. Let’s go check it out.”

“How do you know that?” Tanya was curious.

Bellina explained, “Look, there’s a trending news notification on my phone. Joycelyn has quite a bit of attention online. The headline is calling her mother ‘The most beautiful school belle’s mother.”
