Ellison And Joycelyn: A Love Beyond The Rules Novel

Chapter 216 Chapter 216 1 No , not at all , Sandra pouted playfully , a slight teasing edge to her voice .

She thought , She just couldnt shake the feeling that Kingston was different .

When are we heading home ? Im so tired , Sandra yawned after finishing her meal .

Wait a bit longer .

Isolde needs to rest too , Luna replied just as thunderous applause erupted from the dance floor .

It turned out that Joycelyn and Ellison had finished their dance , and the crowd was cheering for them .

Feeling slightly embarrassed , Joycelyn pulled away from Ellisons hand .

Ill go find Isolde .

You can head back first .

Ill wait for you outside , Ellison said , his gaze sweeping through the crowd , his energy completely shifting .

When he wasnt looking at Joycelyn , his expression was distant , cold , as if repelling anyone who dared come too close .

Mr.

Grant , a middle aged man tried to approach .

William stepped in quickly , blocking the man .

Sorry , Mr.

Grant has business to attend to .

If you have anything to say , I can pass it on .

With that , everyone rushed to engage with William , eager to be close to him .

Joycelyn walked over to Isolde , supporting her gently .

Isolde , its getting late , lets head back .

Alright , you danced beautifully earlier , Isolde complimented as she chatted with Joycelyn and waved goodbye to the other wealthy ladies .

Her face was still beaming with pride , and there was no trace of the fainting episode earlier .

Goodbye , Isolde , Ms.

Maynard .

I look forward to the next time , Mrs.

Willows said , waving as she bid them farewell .

When Joycelyn stepped outside , she saw Ellisons Rolls Royce waiting there .

Isolde , lets take the nanny car back , Joycelyn suggested as she got into the car they had arrived in .

Just as she spoke , the Rolls Royce slowly moved forward and stopped right in front of them , the passenger window rolling down .

Get in the car .

Ill ride with Isolde .

Joycelyns lips pressed together , her delicate features holding a hint of stubbornness .

She thought , If I get in that passenger seat , therell be no chance to keep things unclear .

Despite many people already figuring out my identity , being a Scorpio , I still enjoy a little mystery ! Isolde , how about we ride in this car instead ? Ellison was driving himself , and as the wealthy business people and socialites departed , they followed behind , seemingly eager to flatter him .

Everyone stayed back , waiting for Isolde and Joycelyn to leave before getting into their cars .

Suddenly , Joycelyn found herself basking in the feeling of being the center of attention .

A wave of inexplicable tension ran down her spine .

She wondered , It was like being a national treasure , every move under a watchful eye ! You take this car ; itll be more spacious for Luna , Sandra , and me in the other one .

Joycelyn turned to look for Sandra , only to see her already in the car .

So , Sandra drove the car here ? Shes been drinking , so she cant drive .

The drivers taking the car back for her , Luna explained .

1/3 Chapter 216 Alright .

Joycelyn didnt press further , especially with more and more people gathering around .

The bodyguard stepped forward and opened the passenger door .

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd , Joycelyn slid into the passenger seat of Ellisons car .

She could feel the gazes sharpening on her .

Close the window , Joycelyn said , fastening her seatbelt and reminding Ellison to raise the window .

Of course , Mrs.

Grant , Ellison said , complying and rolling up the window before focusing on driving .

As the Rolls Royce drove away from the mansion , leaving the prying eyes behind , Joycelyn finally relaxed .

Ah … She leaned back in the seat and took a deep breath .

So this is what the glamorous , high society life is like .

How does it feel ? Ellison asked , steering with one hand while the other reached over to playfully squeeze her hand .

Well , as long as theres a big shot backing you , even if youre picking up trash , everyone greets you with a smile , flattering and fawning over you .

No wonder you dont like these kinds of events ; its all so fake .

That was Joycelyns conclusion for the night .

Ellison chuckled softly .

Take a nap .

Ill wake you when we get home .

Mm .

Joycelyn was indeed feeling tired , her body worn from the tension she had been holding onto all night .

She thought , Ive been so tightly wound , and now I feel both uneasy and strangely happy from the recognition .

After returning home , Joycelyn went straight to her room , not relaxing immediately .

Instead , she continued working , catching up on assignments , and reviewing course materials .

Joycelyn thought , I need to grow faster .

Next time , I want to face Isolde and Ellisons praise with confidence , not the nervousness I felt tonight like I didnt deserve the happiness I received ! After his shower , Ellison didnt find Joycelyn , so he went to his study .

He saw Joycelyn sitting at the desk , deeply focused on taking notes .

Deciding not to interrupt , he quietly left and returned to the bedroom to wait for her to finish .

Ellison wasnt one to bring his phone to bed .

He sat down on the couch , planning to check the overseas stock market , when a picture from Sandra popped up .

It was a little blurry .

Sandra had sent a funny emoji : [ Ellison , transfer the money for the HD ones 150 dollars each .

Wink .

] Without a second thought , Ellison transferred 1500 dollars , his gaze steady .

Sandra sent a flurry of pictures from different angles romantic , beautiful waltz shots as if they were still dancing right in front of him .

Every single one was beautiful , and Ellison was satisfied with his purchase .

After receiving the money , Sandra quietly stepped back , not interrupting .

Ellison glanced at his phone for a moment , then set it down to check the stock market .

From 9 to 11 PM , the study remained silent .

The events of the evening mustve triggered some academic drive in her , Ellison thought , preparing to send the photos he had just received , curious to see how she would respond .

After sending a few shots , there was still no reply .

So , Ellison decided to send a few photos he took earlier in the bathroom , showing off his abs .

Joycelyn : [ What is this ? ] 2/3 06:55 Thu , 6 Mar Chapter 216 1 Ellison clicked his tongue , a smile tugging at his lips .

His long , clean fingers quickly typed a short message : [ Come to the room .

You can look and touch .

If theres anything you dont understand , Ill explain it to you .

] Joycelyn : [ Well , youve definitely caught my attention ! ] After sending the message , Joycelyn closed her laptop , organized her notes , and headed to the bathroom for a shower .

1979 Ellison put his phone down and sat on the edge of the bed , deliberately unbuttoning two of his pajama buttons .

He thought , I have a feeling that until shes fully focused on her studies , Ill need to use a bit of strategy to get her into bed .
