Ellison And Joycelyn: A Love Beyond The Rules

Chapter 282

At the 24–hour greasy spoon, Joycelyn and Sandra munched on chips as they listened to Lucy patiently and comforted her now and then.

“It’s already annoying to go to work, yet all these guys keep popping up to give me trouble!” Lucy chugged down the beer like it was soda. She continued cursing and swearing as she drank and munched on chips.

“Um… is Clement bothering you?” Joycelyn could see Lucy was in a foul mood and tried to stop her from drinking too much. She hurriedly passed her a plate of sausages. “This is good.”

Lucy attacked the plate like some sausage–devouring machine.

At this moment, her mind was not dwelling on Clement but replaying the pained look on Haddy’s handsome face.

Thus, she dared not answer Joycelyn’s question. “Don’t mention him. It’s been so many years since we graduated from high school. It’s been almost ten years. How many things have happened? How many boyfriends have I had? How can I go back to him?

“He was the one who wanted to leave back then, and he was also the one who abandoned us. Why should I reconcile with him now that he has decided to come back?”

Opposite her, Sandra watched quietly with her chin resting on her hands. She was ignorant and naive, so she couldn’t contribute anything.

“Mrs. Grant, why did he abandon the two of you?” Sandra finally couldn’t contain herself anymore and asked out loud.

“Because the three of us were good buddies back then. He helped us a lot during our most difficult times.”

“Oh, you had me there for a while. I thought both of you were involved in a threesome, like a ménage–à–trois.” Sandra patted her chest in relief.

Joycelyn didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “No. In the past, when the two of them were in a relationship, I would occasionally tag along to be the third wheel.”

Sandra blinked her bright eyes at Joycelyn and asked, “So do you think that guy still has a chance with Lucy?”

“I don’t know.” Joycelyn shrugged.

“No way! It’s impossible for anyone to have a chance with me! I only want to earn money and become a rich woman. These men will only affect the rate at which I accumulate my wealth!” Lucy cut the other two girls short bluntly when she overheard their whispering. There was no room for negotiation at all in her tone.

“Then why did you say that Haddy did not agree to collaborate with them? Was he…” Joycelyn was a little hesitant and too embarrassed to ask outright.

However, Sandra was young and rash. She immediately piped up, “It’s obvious that Haddy is jealous!”

Lucy was chugging her beer midway and that comment made her choke on her beer. She began coughing violently.

Joycelyn hurriedly patted her back. “Whoa! Slow down.”

“Lucy, am I right?” Sandra pressed on.

Lucy did not dare to look at Sandra at all. She kept her head down and busied herself with the sausages.
