Ellison And Joycelyn: A Love Beyond The Rules Novel

Chapter 200 Chapter 200 Leon had always been single , which was , in itself , kind of hilarious .

After delivering his toast at the wedding , Isolde shared it in the group chat with her closest friends .

Everyone found it utterly amusing .

No one knew how others reacted , but for Joycelyn , Sandras relentless teasing of Leon was pure entertainment .

The usually brash young man ended up looking downright gloomy by the end of it .

That night , Joycelyn couldnt stop laughing .

Even after she fell asleep , she dreamed of herself laughing .

The next morning , she woke up naturally .

Glancing at the clock , she saw it was already 9:30 .

Wow , I really slept in ! Yesterday was so busy with the wedding , and I didnt even do anything crazy last night .

Still , I slept like a log , I said .

When Joycelyn finally went downstairs , she found only Sandra at home .

Sandra , its just you here ? she asked , mildly surprised .

Yup ! The two elders headed back .

Ellison went to the office to handle something , and Leon left too .

Its just me and these two little furballs .

Sandra was playing with the two dogs , her voice playful and sweet .

Have Grandma and the rest returned to the hospital ? Why arent they at home after dinner ? Have you had breakfast ? she said .

Ive eaten .

Ive made breakfast for you .

Its in the kitchen … Sandra was playing with Rocky and Lucky .

It was obvious that she liked puppies very much and was a very innocent girl .

How can someone be this adorable and still be practically unbeatable in combat ? she wondered .

Despite her sweet , charming demeanor , Sandra was incredibly skilled and capable .

Joycelyn admired her for her boldness and self assurance , wrapped in a layer of youthful naivety .

Ellison had mentioned to Joycelyn that Sandra would be her little sidekick from now on .

I cant believe I need someone as cute as this to protect me .

Goodness , this is too much for my heart to handle ! she wondered .

bespoke Joycelyns tone softened instinctively as she spoke to Sandra .

Are you sure you dont want to eat anything else ? Nope , Im full ! Sandra turned to give Joycelyn a bright , sugary smile .

Joycelyn felt her heart melt .

Fortunately , you got married to Luna .

She met a soft hearted god and was raised well .

How could her parents leave such a wonderful girl behind ? Its such a blessing that she found Luna and wrapped her so well .

Alright , then .

Ill finish my breakfast , and we can head to the school later .

In the afternoon , lets go shopping .

I love your dress .

Youve got such great taste ! Lets pick out a few more for you , he added .

Joycelyn was in a great mood .

As she ate her breakfast , her mind wandered to the incident with the Wilson family yesterday .

Curiosity piqued , she quickly searched for updates on her phone .

She found news about the Wilson familys bankruptcy .

The lab Ruby had poured her heart and soul into had been shut down due to technical failures .

Once a leader in the field , she had now fallen from grace entirely .

A mysterious player ? Joycelyn murmured , staring intently at the report , completely forgetting about her meal .

Did Ellison leave early this morning to handle this mess ? The thought tugged at her heartstrings .

They had just celebrated their wedding yesterday , and today , he was already caught up in such a thorny situation .

The mental image made her chest tighten with sympathy .

Joycelyn , whats wrong ? Sandras voice brought her back to reality .

She looked up to see Sandra carrying the two dogs , their tiny paws pecking out adorably from her arms .

Sandras waist accessory jingled softly as she approached , her expression full of concern .

Joycelyn gave her a small smile and shook her head .

Nothing , I was just reading the news .

Sandra glanced at the screen and caught sight of Rubys name .

She scoffed dismissively , her disdain clear .

That woman deserves to be taken down by Ellison .

Joycelyn blinked , obviously still unaware of how deeply Ellison had been involved .

Her curiosity about the situation was growing .

This woman deserves to be taught a lesson by Ellison .

Huh ? Joycelyn blinked , obviously still unaware of how deeply Ellison had been involved .

Her curiosity about the situation was growing .

The Wilson familys bankruptcy is exactly what they had coming , Sandra added with a snort .

That serious ? But … what about Ellison ? Couldnt this affect him too ? Joycelyns mind raced .

Ruby had been pinning blame left and right , and now that shed gone under overnight , anyone associated with Ellison , could face repercussions .

Im calling him , Joycelyn said , losing her appetite entirely .

Without a second thought , she dialed Ellisons number .

In the CEOs office , William was giving Ellison an update while the man leaned back in his large chair , exuding confidence .

His sharp , handsome features softened into a subtle , triumphant smile , his deep set eyes gleaming with the satisfaction of victory .

Haddy handed him a glass of whiskey .

Congratulations .

Ellison accepted the glass and clinked it against Haddys .

He took a sip , savoring the moment when his phone suddenly buzzed .

The moment he saw the caller ID , he immediately set the glass down and answered the call .

Awake already ? Haddy , watching the shift in Ellisons demeanor , chuckled softly and took a seat on the couch , his glass in hand .

And here I thought he was an ice cold executive through and through .

Turns out , one call from the wife , and hes all soft , Haddy wondered .

Ellisons previously cool and commanding tone had noticeably warmed .

Haddy couldnt help but tease him in his mind .

Married life really does change a man .

He wont even take another sip of whiskey once shes on the line .

Are you in a meeting ? Joycelyns voice was filled with worry .

I just saw the news .

The Wilson family really went bankrupt .

Are you okay ? Is there any chance youll get dragged into this mess ? Ellisons expression softened , and his voice carried a reassuring tone .

Dont worry .

Its nothing serious on my end .

There are just a few loose ends to tie up .

Im only a businessman , not a scientist .

None of the technical failures fall on me .

Worst case , Ill lose some money and clean things up .

Joycelyn let out a relieved sigh .

Alright then .

If theres nothing major , I wont bother you anymore .

Get back to work .

She kept it brief and hung up after saying her goodbyes .

Ellison set the phone down , a small smile playing on his lips , more happy than earning a few million dollars .

Mr.

Grant , Haddy said with a sly grin , I didnt think youd turn into such a doting husband so quickly .

Who knew marriage would make you so whipped ? By the way , how did you know Joycelyn ? 10:55 Fri , 21 Feb 60 Chapter 200 4 % 80 % u ( +13 ) Ellisons gaze turned mildly disdainful , but his lips curled slightly in amusement .

Keep your nose out of my business .

Instead of caring about me , why dont you tell me about how you were pounced on by a woman at Meciaro Bar ? At that , Haddy almost chuckled .

Tsk , but youre very fast .

Do you think no one will know just because you erased the surveillance footage ? Ellison glanced at him from the corner of his eye with a mocking gaze .

You should have been pulling up her background information for research instead of trying to dig stuff out of me if you had known .

Since when did you become so nosy ? Haddys voice was calm and composed , showing no embarrassment despite being called out .

Ellison raised an eyebrow , amused .

Haddy had hit the nail on the head .

Lucky you .

If I catch you slipping , next time we sign a deal , youll have to shave another percentage point off for me .

Ellison retorted , his tone casual yet commanding .

Haddy took a sip of his drink , unfazed by Ellisons dominating aura .

Cunning businessman , he remarked .

Flattering , Ellison replied , completely unbothered .

Honestly , your wife worries about you getting taken advantage of , as if thats even possible , Haddy said with a shake of his head .

Ellison , with his scheming mind and strategic depth , was practically unbeatable .

Joycelyn , with her pure and straightforward personality , fretted over him unnecessarily .

If anything , people should be worried about Ellison taking advantage of others , not the other way around .

Well , she is my wife , Ellison said , the pride in his voice unmistakable .

Still , this kind of fun , having someone worry about you like that , is something a single person like you wouldnt understand , Ellison added with a smirk .

He couldnt miss the chance to rub it in Haddys face , taking advantage of his single status to gloat shamelessly .

Haddy gave him a pointed look .

Im tempted to record this and show Joycelyn what you really look like behind her back .
