Ellison And Joycelyn: A Love Beyond The Rules Novel

Chapter 215 Joycelyn … Sandra skipped over to Joycelyn , playfully bumping her with her hip .

Im eating cake , Joycelyn murmured .

She hesitated , reluctant to part with the cake , but didnt want to make him wait too long , feeling it would come across as overly standoffish .

Ill hold it for you , Sandra said , taking the cake she had just handed over and holding it again .

Joycelyns hands were free , and she absently brushed her fingers before gently placing them into his waiting palm .

Ellison gently led her to the center of the dance floor .

The ballroom around them glittered like a palace , with chandeliers sparkling overhead and ornate paintings adorning the walls , filling the space with romance and luxury .

Ellison held her tiny hand in one of his while his other hand rested gently on her waist .

Place your hand on my shoulder , Ellison instructed , his gaze soft but noting the slight unease in her expression .

Alright , Joycelyn replied , lifting her hand to rest on his shoulder .

But I dont know how to dance , Joycelyn murmured , her eyes drifting to the couples gliding effortlessly across the floor , their waltz graceful and light , full of ease and elegance .

She thought , Its beautiful to watch , but dancing myself … Im worried Ill make a fool of myself .

Its okay , Ill teach you , Ellison reassured her , pulling Joycelyn closer as his hand tightened slightly around her waist .

Why do we need to be so close ? Dont you usually keep some space in a waltz ? Joycelyn asked , feeling herself drawn in even closer , her heel accidentally stepping on his polished shoe .

It doesnt look as good from far away , Ellison said , offering a reason she couldnt argue with .

As the second song began to play , Ellisons dark eyes softened .

He gazed at Joycelyn with deep focus as if he were taking in every part of her with tender admiration .

Alright , lets start .

Left foot , two steps forward , Ellisons clear voice cut through the lively music , landing softly in Joycelyns heart .

A Joycelyn looked up into his deep , dark eyes , feeling a calm warmth in his gentle yet reassuring gaze .

Following his instructions , she took two steps forward , but her stride was too long .

She accidentally stepped on his foot and tumbled right into his arms off balance .

Joycelyn thought , Oh no , this is so embarrassing .

Joycelyn felt a wave of frustration and almost wanted to back out .

Im so sorry , she murmured .

Its okay , take your time , Ellison said , not at all frustrated .

He spoke gently , offering her reassurance .

Relax , dont worry .

Youve got this .

Joycelyn had been nervous , but his words slowly helped her calm down .

Now , step back with your right foot , then to the left , Ellison continued , his voice calm and deep , with none of it could have had .

It was steady and patient , as if he were guiding a child .

arshness Even as the people around them shot puzzled looks , he paid them no mind , focused solely on guiding Joycelyn through the dance .

Despite being stepped on several times , he just smiled , unfazed .

Thankfully , Joycelyn was quick to adapt .

From initially being a bit out of sync , she gradually grew more confident , following his lead and slowly becoming more comfortable with the rhythm .

The crowd around the dance floor began to slow down , gathering along the edges , their eyes fixed on the pair as they danced .

Joycelyns movements werent as fluid as shed hoped , but there was a grace to her .

Ellen , what do you think Isolde meant by calling Joycelyn a benefactor and family ? Whats going on with the Grant family ? Whats the real story ? Mrs.

Willows chuckled softly .

How would I know what Isolde is thinking ? Id guess she wants to protect her .

After all , the Grant family doesnt have many heirs .

Then why bring her out in public like this ? Its all so strange .

Look at Ellison , and his attention is entirely on her .

I even overheard someone saying shes just a stand in .

Who can tell whats true and whats not ? Mrs.

Willows replied , admiration for Isolde clear in her voice .

If anyone could figure out what Isolde is thinking , the Grant family would have fallen apart long ago .

As for the identity of Mrs.

Grant no one could certain .

What was clear was that the wealthy and powerful would show her respect from now on .

Meanwhile , Sandra , holding her phone , recorded a short video and snapped several photos .

As she put her phone away , she noticed Kingston walking out with a medical kit in hand .

His cool , detached demeanor made him stand out in the bustling , extravagant ballroom .

His presence , serene and untouched by the surrounding luxury , felt like it belonged to an entirely different world .

Sandra immediately tucked her phone away , jogging over to intercept Kingston .

Kingston stopped and looked down at the quirky young woman standing in his path .

When he saw her large , bright eyes peeking out from beneath her bangs , something in him stirred a sense of familiarity he couldnt quite place .

Can I help you ? he asked .

Luna twisted her ankle .

Leah took her back , but Im still worried .

Can you check on her ? Sandra said , her tone a bit demanding , far from pleading .

Kingston looked down at Sandra .

His dark gaze remained steady , as deep and infinite as the night sky .

After a few seconds , he nodded .

Alright .

This way .

Sandra motioned , signaling for him to follow her .

Luna was seated not far from Isolde .

Sandra led Kingston over , and Luna , still a bit confused , asked , Sandra , whats going on ? Luna , let the doctor take another look at your ankle .

Mason already treated me .

Theres no need to trouble Kingston .

I know , but it wouldnt hurt to have him check again , Sandra said , kneeling to lift Lunas ankle and gesturing for Kingston to examine it .

Kingston didnt mind at all , his professional demeanor guiding his actions as a doctor .

He quickly examined Lunas ankle for a minute or two , then gently placed her foot back down .

Reaching into his medical kit , he pulled out a bottle of medicinal alcohol This will help ease the pain .

Theres no damage to the bone .

Thank you , Kingston , Luna said gratefully .

You two couldnt be more different .

Are you even siblings ? Ones a perfect gentleman ; the other looks like she has a hidden agenda , Sandra muttered , pouting as she stood off to the side .

Sandra , Luna said softly , a gentle reprimand in her voice , signaling for her to stop speaking out of turn .

Whats wrong with Leah ? Sandra asked , ignoring the scolding .

What happened to Isolde ? Why did she suddenly faint ? Leah was helping her , and everyone thought she was Mrs.

Grant of the Grant family , the way she was so attentive , Luna replied .

Sandra , Lunas voice grew firmer .

The words were spoken casually , but Kingston overheard them .

Though he didnt respond , they clearly stuck with him .

As he nodded and prepared to leave , Sandra tilted her head , watching his cold , distant figure .

He doesnt seem like a bad guy , she thought , studying him as he walked away .

Luna , even though Kingston seems so cold , he looks kind , Sandra said , blinking her big , round eyes and grinning mischievously .

Sandra , do you have a crush on Kingston ? Luna teased , leaning in with a soft , affectionate smile , her eyes filled with curiosity .
