Joycelyn had been in a bad mood for the past few days. Worried that she might feel bored, Ellison had Leon bring back the two little dogs to cheer her up.

That day was the memorial of Ellison’s parents. The couple returned to the Grant family estate to pay their respects.

Leon conveniently tagged along as their driver. He used the excuse that he couldn’t bear to part with the puppies,

As soon as the car stopped in front of the villa, Sandra rushed out upon hearing the engine,

“My gorgeous sweetheart, you’re finally back! Life was so boring without you,” She ran toward Joycelyn the moment she stepped out of the car.

At the same time, Leon got out as well.

She had been all smiles a moment ago, but she rolled her eyes after seeing Leon.

She wondered if their future child would be as sharp–tongued.

“Joycelyn, it’s good that you weren’t home these past few days. We had some shameless, uninvited guests practically camping out here.” Sandra petted the two fluffy pups before latching onto Joycelyn’s arm with a pout.

Joycelyn hadn’t returned home recently because Bellina had been staying at the Grant estate.

Sibyl seemed intent on marrying Tanya into the Schultz family, so she had been exceptionally hospitable to Bellina, providing her with food, lodging, and constant care.
