After Joycelyn finished speaking, she blinked her clear, bright eyes and pursed her lips uneasily as she booked in Fillon & didn’t occur to me to ask back then. Shall I go ask my adoptive mother?

“Let’s wait a little longer. The Mercer family is in a mess now. They’re not doing the demolition anymore. The money is gone. Bellina Schultz even got people to beat up the Mercer family members. If we approach them now, they prov blame everything on us,” Ellison cautioned.

“Oh, she did that?”

“Mm–hmm. When Bellina followed us to the hospital previously, she probably wanted to ask about something by was beaten up by that woman from the Mercer family,” Ellison remarked calmly.

“Then we shouldn’t show up in front of those two women during this period. They won’t show us any counes, yydys murmured in concurrence.

“Yep,” Ellison replied with a nod.

Joycelyn watched Ellison’s handsome face, which seemed immersed in profound thoughts. In her mind, this high and mighty CEO was a man of few words. Even his speech at the annual meeting was concise and to the point

Yet here he was, gossiping with her about others behind their backs.

Such a contrast made her feel close to him, just as wife and husband should be.

“What are you sniggering at? And you looked so sinister while at it,” Ellison asked.

“Well, I learned it from my wife.” Ellison leaned closer and inhaled the faint scent of medicinal herbs on Joycelyn’s body.

“It’s awful. It doesn’t smell good anymore.” A look of annoyance crept over Ellison’s handsome face. He seemed very displeased now that his own beloved was also enveloped by that medicinal scent.

“Then why did you ask me to help you take the medicinal herbs back then?” As Joycelyn was dragged upstairs by Ellison, her dainty face was full of indignation.

“That was different,” Ellison argued firmly.

“How was it different?” Joycelyn’s charming face was puffed up like a petulant toddler, making her look innocent and cute.

“It still tasted sweet toward the end…” came the reply.

Joycelyn was speechless. Her throat felt like it was on fire, and she didn’t know what to say.

“So you despise me now, do you? You’ve only been married to me for less than half a year, yet you already despise me.” Joycelyn lamented and sighed dramatically.

and closed the door. He turned around and pressed Joycelyn against the door panel. He leane his handsome face against hers as his two arms
