Ellison And Joycelyn: A Love Beyond The Rules Novel

11 Chapter 111 Chapter 111 Joycelyn left the hospital and took a taxi home .

The first thing she did when she got home was head upstairs to shower and wash her hair .

It was as if she was washing herself clean and starting life over again .

Or perhaps , she wanted to wash away the burden on her shoulders and make herself feel more relaxed .

After taking a shower , she went downstairs to feed Rocky .

Then , she held Rocky in her arms and fell asleep on the sofa .

Her petite figure lay on the classical style sofa .

In the cold and luxurious space , she was dressed in white loungewear , giving off a sense of aloofness that was detached from worldly concerns .

She hadnt spoken much since she got home .

The puppy seemed to sense that she was feeling down , so it kept staying by her side quietly .

She slept from the afternoon into the evening .

It was not until Joycelyn sensed the puppy in her arms repeatedly nudging her chest and feeling very uneasy that she woke up .

She slowly opened her eyes .

In the huge villa , the ambient lights lit up one after another , adding a hint of tenderness to the cold space .

Holding Rocky , who was so terrified that it curled up in her arms , Joycelyn slowly sat up and instinctively glanced toward the foyer where she heard a noise .

Ellisons tall and straight figure came into view .

In that instant , an indifferent smile that was imperceptible appeared on Joycelyns face .

Youre back , she said .

Her voice was still languid and childlike from just waking up .

She sat on the sofa , holding the puppy in her arms , craning her neck to look at him gently , and waiting for him to approach .

Yeah .

Ellison put on his shoes , grabbing his suit jacket with one hand as he walked over .

His slender figure was like a models , and his well proportioned muscles were faintly visible under his shirt .

His blonde hair gently brushed his forehead , and his eyes gleamed with a deep and calm glint that commanded respect .

But Joycelyn could feel that when he looked at her , his gaze was softer .

Her smile grew sweeter as she waited patiently for him to approach .

Tve been waiting for you for a long time .

Huh ? Ellison casually draped his suit jacket over the sofa and sat beside Joycelyn .

You didnt go hang out in the afternoon ? he asked .

As he sat down , his cold and reserved look was tinged with a hint of tenderness .

He narrowed his eyes and saw the puppy hiding its head in Joycelyns arms .

As soon as he finished speaking , he grabbed the puppy by the scruff of its neck and tossed it onto the carpet .

Rocky let out a whine .

Knowing that it could not compete against Ellison , it jumped away like a rabbit and hid on the single- seater sofa nearby , his round eyes peeking out as he stared at Ellison .

1/4 12:47 Sat , 15 Feb 0 Chapter 111 It was angry , but still cute and timid at the same time .

Joycelyn could not help but laugh .

Then , she mustered her courage and reached out to wrap her arms around Ellisons waist , leaning into his embrace .

Since youve already touched the dog , you probably wont mind me hugging it , she said , leaning in his arms and sniffing the refreshing and pleasant mint scent on him .

She felt a great sense of peace and security.

There was a slight sense of surprise in Ellisons eyes , and he could not help but smile .

He put his arms around his wife , who voluntarily hugged him , and said , Whats wrong ? Its nothing .

I just want to hug you .

Joycelyn buried her face in the hollow of his neck , looking as obedient as a kitten .

The results of the investigation are out .

Linda has been sent for investigation and has already been dismissed .

Aurelia will be promoted, and you will be the leader of Planning Team 1 .

Till go along with what you say .

Joycelyn didnt ask further .

This outcome was expected .

After all , she had exerted great effort to turn the tide , preventing the company from losing a major project , so this promotion was only natural .

Seeing that she was still feeling down , Ellison pinched her cheek , looking at her seriously as he said , Something on your mind ? Nothing on my mind .

The basic trust between husband and wife is gone , huh ? Ellison pinched her soft and flawless cheek .

He thought , That look in her eyes is filled with distress , and yet she tells me theres nothing on her mind .

I dont believe it .

Really , theres nothing .

I just went to the hospital to see my mom , and I realized some things will never get better .

Im just troubled about how to deal with this kind of blood relationship .

Didnt you hire someone to take care of her ? I thought that since she had surgery .

I should go visit .

It wont happen again .

Joycelyn swore that it really wouldnt happen again .

She thought for a moment .

They had been married for so long , and she was worried about various things , so much so that she had never gone out on a date with him or had a meal together outside .

So , she said , Have you had dinner? Why dont we go on a date tonight ? Having lived in a negative environment for so long , she had forgotten that she had to live openly and confidently .

Joycelyn had thought about how her relationship with Ellison would pan out .

Regardless of what the outcome was for them in the future , she was certain that it would never be as terrible as her experience of living at the Mercer familys home , not matter how bad things turned out .

She thought that the outcome would not be more painful than the stifling blood relationship between her and her mother .

To Joycelyn , Ellison was nicer than anyone she had ever met .

Alright , change your clothes , and Ill take you to a restaurant , Ellison said .

2/4 12:47 Sat , 15 Feb Chapter 111 Alright .

Ill go change now .

Please feed Rocky Joycelyn immediately caressed the puppy a few times .

As she ran upstairs , she instructed Ellison , who was left speechless .

Just open a can , and itll go eat it on its own .

It is very well behaved and doesnt bite .

Joycelyn had already run upstairs .

Her cheerful voice came from above .

Ellison closed his eyes and mentally prepared himself before slowly getting up .

Come here .

He walked up to the luxurious kennel , which was piled with all kinds of pet supplies .

Rocky still seemed to be very scared of Ellison .

There was about 15 feet between it and Ellison , When Ellison opened the can , the puppy , who was clearly eager for food , remained sitting obediently , not daring to approach .

Ellison ignored it and turned back to the sofa .

When he passed by Rocky , both of them despised each other, actively avoiding each other and creating distance .

That scene was somewhat comical .

About twenty minutes later , Joycelyn came downstairs .

Not only did she change into a more classy and sexy camisole dress , but she also applied some lip gloss .

The fitted design accentuated Joycelyns curves , while the dark purple color was classy and elegant .

The V neck design highlighted her voluptuous figure , making her look even more alluring and sexy .

Her long blonde hair cascaded smoothly over her shoulders , making her skin look even more delicate and smooth .

She looked delicate and charming .

Ellison narrowed his eyes and said , Mrs.

Grant , with you dressed like this , why dont we just eat at home ? As he spoke , he walked forward , his entire aura changing .

Joycelyn chuckled, put on her jacket , and said , Theres a jacket .

The reason she was dressed like this was because she wanted to change her style .

Of course , she also wanted to look beautiful She thought , Change of style , change of mood .

It looks pretty nice , but its not suitable for going out .

Ellison reached out and lifted the fabric on her chest .

His fingertips accidentally brushed against her flawless skin .

She thought , My dress is making him hungry .

Of course , its not for food , but for something else .

Joycelyn smiled faintly and removed his hand .

Its you who chose this dress , right ? You bought it , so why cant I wear it ? I bought it for you to wear at home .

Ellisons voice was deep and serious , carrying dominance .

But to Joycelyn , that kind of dominance meant that he couldnt wait .

Who wears something like this at home ? A dress this gorgeous is for going out .

Joycelyn put on her coat , linked arms with Ellison , and walked out .

3/4 12:47 Sat , 15 Feb Chapter 111 She thought , Ive never been to a high end restaurant before .

Its my first time going there , so I have to look better .

After all , Im the CEOs wife .

I cant embarrass him .

No.

its windy outside .

Im worried youll catch a cold .

Ellisons voice was a little hoarse .

He wrapped his arm around her slim waist and led her upstairs .

Lets go .

out .

Im hungry .

Lets go eat .

Joycelyn did not comply .

She smiled charmingly and pulled Ellisons arm as they walked Im hungry too .

Lets eat something else first .

Ellisons handsome and deep set face was no longer as calm and composed as before .

With that said , he gave a serious smile and coaxed gently , Be good .

Lets go back to the room .
