Ellison And Joycelyn: A Love Beyond The Rules

Chapter 281

When Lucy saw the calm but hurt look on Haddy’s face, the anger she had felt initially melted away.

She allowed herself to calm down before trying her best to sound gentle and patient. “Haddy, this is work. I didn’t let my personal emotions get involved. What are you trying to do?”

“I didn’t do anything. I just don’t want you to have any more contact with him.” There was a faint air of desolation on Haddy’s gentle face.

Lucy was very angry as she felt he was being unreasonable. Yet his tone sounded like he had been wronged so it made her look like some scumbag when she yelled at him.

“That’s my business. It has nothing to do with you, has it?” Lucy lowered her voice.

“Yes, it has.” The displeasure in Haddy’s soft voice was clearly discernible.

“What has my business got to do with you?” Lucy crossed her arms and glared at Haddy’s warm and handsome face with her attractive sparkling eyes.

“You slept with me. I’m your man. So your business is my business now.” Haddy did not back off and argued back defiantly.

Lucy stepped forward and placed her hands on the desk. Her rosy lips curled up slightly as she looked at Haddy’s handsome face. Someone who looked as cultured and refined as Haddy was likely to be a well–educated, decent fellow.

In terms of romantic relationships, he wasn’t exactly naive. On the other hand, he wasn’t a suave smooth–talker either. In fact, he was downright unexciting and never beat around the bush at all.

Lucy’s beautiful eyes stared at him without blinking. After a while, she said something shocking. “Haddy, was it your first time that night?”

Haddy was already thirty–two years old. He couldn’t possibly still be a cherry boy. Not when he was so good–looking and a social elite to boot

Lucy had said this to taunt Haddy, but his answer made her feel that she was the despicable one.

“Yes. Haddy locked eyes with Lucy.

“What? No, no way!” Lucy was shocked. She immediately straightened up and scratched her head awkwardly.

She didn’t know what to say to Haddy anymore, so she simply turned around to leave the office.

However, after taking two steps, she changed her mind and tried her best to convince him.

“Look here… the relationship between a man and a woman isn’t as simple as you think. In this world, just because a person slept with you doesn’t mean that person is in love with you.”
