Ellison And Joycelyn: A Love Beyond The Rules Novel

Chapter 276 Chapter 276 After Joycelyn finished speaking , she blinked her clear , bright eyes and pursed her lips uneasily as she booked in Fillon & didnt occur to me to ask back then .

Shall I go ask my adoptive mother ? Lets wait a little longer .

The Mercer family is in a mess now .

Theyre not doing the demolition anymore .

The money is gone .

Bellina Schultz even got people to beat up the Mercer family members .

If we approach them now , they prov blame everything on us , Ellison cautioned .

Oh , she did that ? Mm hmm .

When Bellina followed us to the hospital previously , she probably wanted to ask about something by was beaten up by that woman from the Mercer family , Ellison remarked calmly .

Then we shouldnt show up in front of those two women during this period .

They wont show us any counes , yydys murmured in concurrence .

Yep , Ellison replied with a nod .

Joycelyn watched Ellisons handsome face , which seemed immersed in profound thoughts .

In her mind , this high and mighty CEO was a man of few words .

Even his speech at the annual meeting was concise and to the point Yet here he was , gossiping with her about others behind their backs .

Such a contrast made her feel close to him , just as wife and husband should be .

What are you sniggering at ? And you looked so sinister while at it , Ellison asked .

Nothing .

Its just hard to imagine a CEO like you gossiping about others behind their backs Well , I learned it from my wife .

Ellison leaned closer and inhaled the faint scent of medicinal herbs on Joycelyns body .

You are practically marinated in medicinal herbs , he grumbled as he led Joycelyn upstairs .

Really ? Its not too bad , I hope ? It cant be helped since medicinal herbs tend to smell like this .

Ive been giving you medicinal herbs in the past , so Im used to the smell .

Joycelyn sniffed her hand in response .

Its awful .

It doesnt smell good anymore .

A look of annoyance crept over Ellisons handsome face .

He seemed very displeased now that his own beloved was also enveloped by that medicinal scent .

Then why did you ask me to help you take the medicinal herbs back then ? As Joycelyn was dragged upstairs by Ellison , her dainty face was full of indignation .

That was different , Ellison argued firmly .

How was it different ? Joycelyns charming face was puffed up like a petulant toddler , making her look innocent and cute .

It still tasted sweet toward the end … came the reply .

Joycelyn was speechless .

Her throat felt like it was on fire , and she didnt know what to say .

So you despise me now , do you ? Youve only been married to me for less than half a year , yet you already despise me .

Joycelyn lamented and sighed dramatically .

Ellison led her into the room and closed the door .

He turned around and pressed Joycelyn against the door panel .

He leane his handsome face against hers as his two arms flanked her .

Mrs.

Grant , do you want to check my conscience before accusing me ? Hmm ? Ellison gave a sly smile .

1/4 628 Chapter 276 The two of them were so close that their breaths intertwined , Joycelyn blinked innocently and gazed at the attractive looking man in front of her .

Despite seeing him every day and night , this man could still make her heart race , especially when she was close enough to catch a whiff of the unique refreshing scent on his body .

It was the calm and reassuring fragrance of agarwood .

Joycelyns dainty face instantly turned red from embarrassment .

Conscience ? Let me check it .

Joycelyn reached out and slipped her exquisite hand under his suit to feel his pectoral muscles .

Under his taut and firm chest , she could feel his strong heartbeat , and his body heat seemed almost scorching to the touch .

Oh , what a firm conscience … Ellison narrowed his eyes as he watched her misbehaving hand .

Mrs.

Grant , you have matured … Joycelyn turned redder and said petulantly , Didnt you tell me to check ? They had known each other for so long , but this was the first time she had teased him .

It felt quite exhilarating .

Ellison leaned closer to whisper into Joycelyns ear .

His voice was a little hoarse .

I have something else thats firmer .

Do you want to check it ? The mans warm lips were nibbling her ear .

It was a sensitive place to begin with , and it felt so ticklish that she trembled slightly .

Joycelyn shrank back and looked at him coquettishly with her twinkling eyes .

Youre so despicable ! Ellison suddenly grinned .

His exquisite face that resembled a classical painting was outlined with soul stirring , perfect lines .

Mrs.

Grant , what were you thinking ? I was talking about having a firm mouth ! There was a strong emphasis on the word firm though the tone was clearly mocking .

Joycelyn was so exasperated that she almost burst out laughing .

Get lost .

Werent you complaining about the smell of medicinal herbs on me? Ill go wash up .

Joycelyns dainty face clouded over .

She no longer had her usual calm , gentle , and elegant temperament .

She resembled an angry kitten that had been teased until it became fed up .

Ellison laughed as he was pushed away .

Mrs.

Grant , are you feeling shy ? Youve been washing me when my hands were injured for the past few days .

Now that Im better , Ill help you wash ? Ellison followed Joycelyn eagerly .

However , in the next instant , there was a knock on the door .

The voice of Ellisons assistant , William Vance , rang out from outside , Mr.

Grant , Mr.

Schultz Junior is here .

He wants you to meet him and give him an explanation .

Ellison stopped in his tracks and the smile on his face faded a little .

Bellina Schultz is awake ? No , Mr.

Grant .

Since she has not regained consciousness , just say that she lost her footing and fell in .

The Grant family will pay for her medical expenses .

Ellisons perfunctory reply was full of displeasure .

Although William was a little hesitant , he still acknowledged the instruction .

Sure , Mr.

Grant .

Joycelyn was leaning against the bathroom door frame as she observed Ellisons disdainful expression .

Is this really good ? 2/4 wed , Chapter 276 After all , he hails from the Schultz family , the richest family here .

But he is on the Grant familys territory .

I have the final say .

Ellison loosened his tie .

His every move oozed the barely concealed sensuality of a refined scumbag Joycelyns face was half hidden .

Although she was shy , her eyes were sparkling as she gazed intently at the man .

Its just washing hands .

Surely theres no need to take off your clothes ? Ellisons smile widened suggestively .

Meanwhile , William went downstairs and repeated Ellisons words verbatim to Jerome Schultz .

Not surprisingly , Jerome was furious when he held the reply .

Is this how the Grant family treat their guests ? Mr.

Schultz , that was an accident .

However , since it was an injury sustained on the Grant familys premises , Mr.

Grant has already said that the medical fees will be borne by the Grant family .

We have also invited the best doctor from the Mason family to treat her .

She will be fine .

I heard that she was thrown down by some guy called Davey ! That was a misunderstanding , William said in an officious tone with a very gentle smile .

He seemed totally unaffected by Jeromes anger .

You guys are downright unreasonable ! Jerome raged as he glared at the second floor with an ominous expression .

Hmph ! If anything happens to my younger sis , I wont let that Davey guy off .

Mr.

Schultz , instead of blaming others , why dont you ask Ms.

Bellina what she did ? Mr.

Grant has something on , and the elder Mrs.

Grant is resting , so we wont send you off .

Williams attitude remained civil and polite throughout .

No matter what Jerome said , his expression did not change .

The Schultz familys bodyguards and doctors got out of the car and prepared to transfer Bellina Schultz back .

Sibyl Grant showed up to stop them .

Mr.

Schultz , Bellina is still unconscious and its not appropriate for her to be transferred .

If youre worried , why dont you stay with her and leave after she regains consciousness ? Sibyl had a good impression of Jerome and had the intention to let her daughter Tanya marry him .

It would be easier to nurture their relationship if she kept him behind .

No need .

Im afraid that if Bellina stays here , there will be many more accidents waiting for her .

Jerome was very protective of Bellina .

Joycelyn was eavesdropping on the second floor .

Bellina is really lucky to have a brother who dotes on her .

Judging from his tone , it seemed Jerome knew what his younger sister had done , but he was still defending her .

Spoiling a child is equivalent to killing him .

Its the same when a brother dotes on his sister .

It was clear Ellison did not see anything good in Jeromes behavior .

From an outsiders perspective , its indeed not good to spoil a child too much .

We mustnt do this when we have children in the future .

Joycelyn had already learned from the mistakes of these people .

In the future , when she became a mother , she must raise her children in a balanced manner so that she would not end up with such ill mannered and uncivilized offspring .

After she finished speaking , Ellison did not reply to her .

Instead , he was deep in thought .

3/4 Wed , 12 Mar Chapter 276 Looking at his conflicted expression , it was obvious he would find it hard not to spoil his own kids .

We are so cultured and well brought up .

How can our offspring resemble that brat ? Ellison simply changed the topic instead of giving his affirmation .

Joycelyn nearly gagged .

She was certain then that Ellison would spoil their kids rotten .

You have been talking about children a lot recently .

Dont tell me you cant wait until the end of the year to have children with me ? The corners of Ellisons lips curled up .

His well defined facial features morphed into an affectionate yet devilish look .

Joycelyn truly gagged this time .
