Ellison And Joycelyn: A Love Beyond The Rules Novel

Chapter 142 Chapter 142 When William heard this , he leaned in to take a look .

What are you talking about ? See the gentleness on his face ? And look at Mrs.

Grant , shes beautiful , sure , but shes totally missing his hidden feelings .

Theyre not on the same wavelength , Henry explained , a touch dramatic .

William squinted at the camera for a long moment .

All he saw was a beautiful couple .

I dont see it .

Youre imagining things .

Henry rolled his eyes and yanked the camera back .

Straight people , he muttered under his breath.

William frowned , still puzzled .

Meanwhile , Joycelyn stood in front of the mirror , adjusting her posture as she admired her reflection This dress really did wonders , it made her feel every inch the elegant CEOs wife .

The diamond encrusted wedding gown was a showstopper .

Its strapless design wasnt too revealing , the cinched waist highlighted her figure perfectly , and the dramatic skirt gave her an ethereal vibe .

The diamonds sparkled like crazy , catching the light in a way that made the whole thing feel magical .

For a moment , Joycelyn let herself bask in the joy of her childhood dream coming true , she looked like a princess straight out of a fairy tale .

How do I look ? she asked , turning slightly to check the back .

Then , she noticed Ellison standing behind her , his gaze locked , on her reflection .

Не He didnt say anything , but his eyes were so intense it made her heart skip .

Feeling flustered , she looked down and fiddled with her gown .

Well ? Do I look good or not ? Honestly , she felt absolutely beautiful in this moment and just hoped it didnt come across as narcissistic You look stunning , he said , his voice steady .

But I bet itll look even better in the sunlight .

Ellison bent down , adjusting her skirt with surprising care .

Its a little heavy , she admitted , but sometimes looking good is worth it .

This was her first wedding dress , and she knew she would hold onto the joy and excitement of this moment for a long time .

Theyre all real diamonds , custom made , Ellison said as he stepped closer , his hand resting lightly on Joycelyns waist .

Of course , theyre heavier .

The staff in the room , although they couldnt understand the language Joycelyn spoke , exchanged glances but kept quiet , aware of Ellisons commanding presence .

Yet , when they saw the couple standing together in front of the mirror , their intimate gestures made everyone murmur softly with envy .

It wasnt like Ellison to act so openly affectionate , and Joycelyn , noticing all the eyes on them , quickly composed herself .

Um , I think Ill go get my hair and makeup done now , she said , trying to steer the attention elsewhere .

She wasnt used to this much PDA , especially not in front of a crowd .

Ellison , however , didnt seem bothered .

Joycelyn sat down in the plush chair , glancing at Ellison , who stood behind her with his arms crossed , looking relaxed but ever so watchful .

He spoke softly in a language she didnt recognize his voice low and smooth .

The stylist team immediately got to work , four or five people moving in unison .

One young woman knelt in front of Joycelyn , carefully starting on her nails .

Joycelyn shifted uncomfortably .

The whole scene felt excessive , and the kneeling made her uneasy .

What language was that ? she asked , catching Ellisons gaze in the mirror .

Valisian , he said simply .

Can you tell her she doesnt need to kneel ? She should use a stool or something .

This feels … unnecessary , Joycelyn said , raising her brows at him .

Being good at Mersian was one thing , but now Valisian ? She felt completely out of her depth .

Ellison chuckled and relayed the message .

The manicurist paused mid task , stunned for a moment , before standing and nodding deeply toward Joycelyn in gratitude .

William quickly handed her a small stool , and she sat down with a quiet smile .

The stylists continued their work , the atmosphere buzzing with quiet admiration .

Even Henry couldnt resist snapping a photo of Joycelyn .

For a moment , she felt like a celebrity .

At first , the attention made her awkward , but she quickly settled into the rhythm .

Everyone was just doing their jobs , and she deserved to enjoy this once in a lifetime moment .

Joycelyns natural beauty made their jobs easier .

Her delicate features ; an oval face with a high , petite nose and strikingly clear eyes , gave her a timeless , graceful appeal .

There was a subtle coolness to her warmth , a charm that was both inviting and distant .

Her eyes , especially , were mesmerizing , like a spring that reflected light in the gentlest way .

The stylists worked their magic lightly , enhancing her already stunning features with soft touches of makeup .

A few delicate diamonds were added to the corners of her eyes , complementing the brilliance of her diamond wedding dress and giving her an ethereal , fairy like glow .

Ellison , standing nearby , seemed unable to look away .

It was as if he was seeing Joycelyn in a new light for the first time .

His gaze was intense , and for a moment , he didnt even blink .

Breaking his trance , he reached over to the stylist holding a pair of crystal heels and knelt in front of Joycelyn .

Put these on , he said .

Joycelyn was startled , her reflection forgotten .

Seeing Ellison , a man of such stature , crouching in front of her to help her 2/3 11:24 Mon , Feb 17 o Chapter 142 change shoes felt surreal Tcan do it myself , she blurted , her cheeks flushing with embarrass Your dress is in the way .

Let me , he replied casually , as if it were no big deal .

He gently lifted her ankle , his hand warm and steady .

Joycelyns breath hitched as she instinctively curled her toes , suddenly self conscious .

She bent down to grab the heels , but the tightness of the dress around her waist stopped her .

Good grief, this thing is gorgeous but useless , she thought .

On top of that , it was a tube top .

She barely leaned forward before catching Ellisons gaze .

The possessive gleam in his eyes made her freeze .

Straightening up quickly , she cleared her throat .

Sorry to trouble you .

Ellison smiled , not at all bothered .

No problem .

Besides , Im older than you .

Might need you to take care of me one day .

She blinked , startled .

What ? Is he seriously thinking 40 or 50 years ahead ? I dont think well get there , she mumbled , more to herself than anything .

Ellison looked up at her , his hand still on her ankle .

Why ? Planning to leave me ? His hand lingered slightly before pulling back , his expression amused .

Joycelyn could almost picture him , showing off their wedding photos tomorrow to make her role as Mrs.

Grant official if she said yes .
