Ellison And Joycelyn: A Love Beyond The Rules Novel

14:32 Wed , 19 Mar OM Chapter 350 Chapter 350 As everyone laughed at Edward being playfully teased , two cars pulled up , one after the other .

Timothy stepped out first , with Jerome following behind , holding the camera lens Edward had found in his room .

Everyones eyes instinctively turned to the car Jerome was in .

Fortunately , Bellina didnt step out from the front passenger seat .

Timothy , Jerome , Joycelyn said , feeling a little awkward as she stood between Ellison and Edward .

Wanting to avoid any tension , she quickly greeted Jerome and moved to his side .

Ah ! Edward realized once again that he had been outsmarted by Joycelyn .

He couldnt help himself though , always trying to push Ellisons buttons .

Got the lens ? Let me try it out , Edward said , quickly looking for any excuse to avoid Ellisons watchful gaze .

His attempt to change the subject didnt go unnoticed , and the others couldnt help but laugh .

Jerome , since youre here , how about we take a childhood photo together ? Joycelyn suggested , pulling out her phone .

She had found an old picture on the Schultz family photo wall , taken on her mothers birthday , with the siblings individually photographed as children .

She wanted to recreate it .

Jerome hesitated slightly , still holding the camera gear box in his hands , his handsome face clouded with uncertainty .

Clearly , he hadnt expected to be asked to stay for a photo after delivering the lens .

Come on , Jerome , lets go , Joycelyn said , pulling him toward the others .

The brothers didnt show any visible reaction .

They all moved closer , arranging themselves around the photo , reminiscing about their old poses .

The old photo featured Timothy sitting with Joycelyn on his lap , Jerome standing beside them , with the other siblings in the back .

The photographer hadnt arrived yet , so Ellison stepped in , taking the camera from Edwards hands .

Shirley stood nearby , guiding them on their poses and expressions .

This may look like seven people in the picture , but actually , its eight , Timothy said with a smile , patting the seat beside him .

Joycelyn walked over , just as she did when she was a child , sitting on his lap .

Jerome , standing beside Timothy , half squatted as he looked at the scene , clearly surprised .

Is Joycelyn … pregnant ? Yes , she hasnt announced it yet , still keeping it a secret for now, Timothy replied without hesitation .

Jeromes eyes lit up with excitement , though no one noticed it .

Jerome , you need to do the yeah pose , Joycelyn reminded him .

Jerome raised his other hand and gave a small yeah gesture , while Ellison clicked the shutter .

Chapter 350 The photo , taken over a decade later , perfectly mirrored the original one .

Looking at the picture , Joycelyn felt like she was speaking to her younger self .

Great ! Lets take a few more , Joycelyn said as she stood up from Timothys lap .

Sit in the middle , Timothy suggested , moving aside to make space for her .

The six brothers stood around her like bodyguards , exuding an aura that made them seem like real life heirs to a fortune .

The moment felt like a scene straight out of a drama , the family united and full of warmth .

After a quick costume change , they didnt bother with new outfits , opting instead to change locations and capture more moments at various scenic spots , under the photographers guidance .

They spent about an hour taking many beautiful photos , reminiscent of a magazine photoshoot .

An hour later , Jeromes phone started ringing incessantly .

It was clear Bellina was starting to hurry him along In the past , Jerome would answer her calls immediately , never letting a moment slip by .

But now , when he saw the phone ringing , he simply silenced it and put it in his pocket .

Jerome , its probably Bellina pushing you , Joycelyn observed , sensing his dilemma .

Why dont you head back for now ? We can always take more photos next time .

Just as she spoke , a stylist arrived with a mobile wardrobe , bringing with them many beautiful outfits .

However , Jerome was clearly tangled up with Bellina .

He was the type of person who couldnt be firm and say no to her .

Timothy sent the photos taken earlier to Jeromes phone .

No matter what , Ill always be behind you , supporting you , Timothy said , his tone much softer than before , patting Jerome on the back .

Jeromes eyes became moist , and he nodded , his voice hoarse , Thank you .

Joycelyn stepped forward and gave him a warm hug , whispering , Jerome , well always be family .

Youre one of us.

She took a moment to adjust his suit and shirt , her smile soft and kind .

In Jeromes eyes , it was the kind of warmth that felt almost unreal , so close yet so out of reach .

Jerome , go take care of your things .

Ill make sure to send you a little gift and start your own fund , Jeff added .

Youve been married before , so you know more than us , Zack said with a mischievous grin , nudging Shirley .

I have my own ways , Shirley replied calmly , her voice full of commanding presence .

Jeff laughed awkwardly , and the group continued talking , all while Jerome stood at a distance , sensing the shift in the air .

Ill head out now .

Have fun , Jerome said quickly , trying to leave before he found himself reluctant to go .

With that , he turned and quickly walked to his car , answering Bellinas call as he got in .

Ill be back soon , he said before hanging up and starting the engine .

As he drove away , Joycelyn sighed softly .

From the moment she met Jerome , she knew how deeply he cared for Bellina .

But now , seeing them marry , she couldnt help but wonder how things would unfold for him .

14:32 Wed , 19 Mar Chapter 350 Will Jerome be happy ? Joycelyn whispered , her gaze lingering , unfocused .

She wasnt so sure .

It seemed like Jerome was a puppet controlled by Bellina .

Perhaps , after all these years , his love for Bellina wasnt love at all but a way to transfer his grief .

What was once a childhood wound had now become a kind of self- destructive obsession .
