Ellisons expression tightened at her words , the playfulness suddenly gone .

Try running .

Ill break your legs first , he said , his voice hardening .

Im done here .

Im not talking to you anymore , Joycelyn said , picking up the fruit and heading to the coffee table by the bed .

She didnt even look at him as his demeanor shifted .

It wasnt lost on her , though , that calling it small things made it sound like she was just the maid .

Leah , you just started coming , right ? I dont think Ive seen you before , Joycelyn asked casually .

Leah smiled softly, nodding .

Yes , I only arrived recently with Kingston , invited by Mr.

Hed been in seclusion before that Leah spoke with grace , exuding the aura of a high class lady , always poised and polite , with a serene , almost saintly presence .

Joycelyn nodded , slightly distracted .

Sounds good .

Kingston is the best traditional medicine practitioner in the country .

Next time hes here , Ill introduce you , Leah added , pride evident in her tone .

Oh , well see next time , Joycelyn replied , uninterested .

Leah was quick to read the room .

Sensing Joycelyns disinterest , she graciously shifted the conversation , Isolde is resting .

If she feels uncomfortable when she wakes up , Ill come back .

I wont disturb you for now , Leah said with a smile , slowly getting up and speaking to Ellison , who had just come out behind her .

She knew when to step back , not forcing her presence .

Joycelyn , watching Leah leave , glanced at Ellison , who looked cold and unreadable .

She pouted , avoiding him .

Without acknowledging him sitting beside her .

Joycelyn took out her phone and changed her profile picture to one of Rocky , feeling content .

Ellisons gaze remained fixed on her , dark and intense .

Change it .

I dont want to keep talking to you , staring at that dogs face , he said with a low growl .

I like it .

I want to , Joycelyn replied , fully satisfied with her choice as she admired Rockys cute face on her screen .

Meanwhile , Leah , now outside the room , immediately began searching for information about Ellisons wife .

She scoured the internet , but found nothing clear not even a wedding announcement or gossip .

Leah couldnt help but wonder : could it be that they were faking their marriage to cover up something with Isolde ? Ө
