Grant doesnt like gossip .

How about we go upstairs ? I need to use the restroom first .

Seeing that she couldnt change everyones mind , Joycelyn turned and headed upstairs .

She wanted to avoid being recognized by Isolde later .

Leah turned around just as Joycelyn headed upstairs .

She noticed Joycelyns serene profile and elegant figure .

Leah recognized Joycelyns figure but didnt say anything .

Instead , she quickly looked away and stayed by Ellisons side .

Mrs.

Grant , Ellison is here , Leah affectionately said as she walked over to Isolde .

Once Ellison sat down , Leah gracefully took her seat , exuding the demeanor of a CEOs wife .

Isolde only saw Ellison and didnt notice Joycelyn .

Why did you come alone ? Where is Joycelyn … ? I was busy and forgot to tell her .

Shes having lunch with her colleagues and probably didnt bring her phone , Ellison said coolly as he sat down .

How are you feeling today ? Any better ? Ellison brushed off the topic and changed the subject before Isolde could say more .

You and Joycelyn are boss and subordinate .

Do your colleagues at the company know that youre married ? Leah asked sweetly , full of curiosity .

Hearing this , Ellison , who was spreading a napkin , looked up and gave Leah a cold , penetrating stare .

Its not your place to ask about my private matters .

Leah was so taken aback by his gaze that she froze , not daring to move .

The atmosphere at the dining table was visibly freezing .

Dr.

Mason , could you and Luna help me prepare some dipping sauce ? Isolde said to ease the tension .

Leah knew that Isolde was giving her a way out , so she quickly nodded with an embarrassed smile .

Okay After Leah and Luna left , Isolde gently asked , Ellison , is it inconvenient for you and Joycelyn right now ! Grandma , she likes an ordinary and peaceful life .

I dont want her to be pushed to the center of attention because of me .

I also dont want her to end up like my parents , or for my children to be targeted and kidnapped , Ellison explained the reason to his grandmother for the first time .

Isolde sighed deeply , her voice tinged with sadness .

I understand .

Ill be more careful next time .

When you two go abroad .

I wont disturb you .

Enjoy yourselves and take lots of photos for me .

Okay Here is a card .

The password is the last six digits of the card number .

I came today to give it to Joycelyn .

There are 17 million dollars inside for her pocket money .

Isolde handed Ellison a diamond card to give to Joycelyn .

Its too much , she wont dare to accept it .

If you want to give it to her , you should do it yourself , Ellison said , not even glancing at the card .

Thats because you didnt handle it well , Isolde said with a loving yet slightly disapproving look .

I once gave her 300 thousand dollars and she didnt dare to spend it .

But when her salary was increased by a thousand dollars , she was so happy and even said she wanted to treat me to something delicious .

Thinking about it , the corners of Ellisons tightly pressed lips slightly curved up Isolde , with her experienced eyes , saw everything and pushed the card towards him .

Joycelyn has clear , bright eyes and a pure , kind heart .

If you were just wealthy and not handsome , she might not have wanted to marry you .

She chuckled playfully .

Ellison didnt argue .

to Ellison .

Indeed , she saw Leah handing a paper bag to Ellison .

They seemed to be talking about something .

The sunlight bathed his tall figure , making him appear almost divine and untouchable , with a noble aura in every movement , Joycelyn was a bit entranced , but then she thought , this situation was not so simple .

Arent these two just eating together ? Why choose to give a gifi in such a noticeable way at the restaurant entrance ? Leal certainly knew how to make a scene .

Mr.

Grant , this is the outfit I borrowed last time .

Please pass it on to Mrs.

Grant , Leah said softly .

She stood next to Ellison , holding the paper bag with both hands .

Leah , with her beautiful , gentle eyes , looked softly at Ellisons handsome face .

Ellison glanced at the paper bag , took it with one hand , and left .

It took about half a minute in total .

After he left , Leah still stood there , watching his back for a long time .

It wasnt umil he entered the Grant Group that Leah reluctantly retracted her gaze and walked back .

Coincidentally , when she turned around , she saw Joycelyn eating by the window on the third floor .

Joycelyn casually glanced over and unexpectedly made eye contact with Leah .

Ignoring Leahs gaze , she continued eating Hey , is Mr.

Grant always this aloof in relationships ? Isnt he supposed to be a cold and abstinent CEO on the surface but a clingy puppy in private ? Selene asked , biting her fork with a doubtful expression .
