Chapter 124 < 71 %% # Why are you so nervous ? Were not suspecting you .
We just want to ask if you found any clues when you went to Mr.
Grants office .
Selene said .
She noticed that Joycelyn , usually calm and composed , was now so nervous .
It was something she had never seen before .
Selene couldnt help but keep staring at Joycelyn , watching her intently .
Joycelyn took a deep breath quietly .
She was so worried about their relationship being exposed that her nerves were on edge , attracting even more attention .
You scared me to death ! The last time Anna pulled a stunt like this , I was terrified .
If anyone else hears , Im finished .
Joycelyn sighed helplessly Hearing this , everyone nodded in agreement .
No wonder , but you werent even so nervous when Anna said this in public in the restaurant last time .
Whats wrong with you today ? You look so scared .
Selene laughed heartlessly .
Who can stand your rogue behavior ? Joycelyn replied gently , trying to calm her racing heart .
And , I didnt pay attention when I went to Mr.
Grants office .
You should ask Aurelia ; shes more observant .
With that , Joycelyn took another sip of water from her glass .
Though curious , Selene figured this topic had left a shadow on Joycelyn from last time , so she didnt pursue it further .
Hey , in novels , arent powerful CEOs always into those naive , sweet , or innocent types of girls ? Melly couldnt help but comment .
Hearing this , Selene couldnt help but think how much it resembled the nervous Joycelyn from earlier .
Joycelyn instinctively bit her lower lip when she was nervous , and her clear , bright eyes sparkled with surprise .
She no longer looked like a wise and quiet beauty .
Instead , she looked more like an innocent girl .
However , Selene did not say it out loud .
She was afraid that Joycelyn would feel too much pressure .
But a man as handsome and wealthy as Mr.
Grant wouldnt limit himself to one type .
Even if he stood still , countless women would probably flock to him .
Celebrities , heiresses , daughters of high ranking officials , no one can resist Mr.
Grant , Selene said casually , though her words had a significant impact on the listener .

Joycelyn sighed inwardly .
Indeed , a man like Ellison , nearly perfect , would always attract bold women , even if he seemed cold and indifferent .
But weve never seen the woman , have we ? Melly commented .
The ways wealthy people amuse themselves are beyond our imagination .
A fleeting affair could bring in millions of dollars .
No matter how perfect Mr.
Grant is , hes still a man .
Men , those who understand , understand , Selene said , her words sharp and clear .
Although Joycelyn didnt say anything , she nodded in agreement .
Initially , she thought it would be just a passing conversation .
1/3 Romance … Open 12:50 Sat , 15 Feb Chapter 124 But as Selene and Melly stopped discussing the matter and began their lunch break , Joycelyn found herself dwelling on those words .
The budding affection in her heart started to cool and become more rational .
The more Joycelyn thought about it , the more she remembered a quote she had read : Those who have never been loved .
are easily moved by a little kindness and give their all After losing her father at a young age , and growing up amidst hardships , he always appeared at the right moments , protecting her .
It was inevitable .
But fortunately , she hadnt given her all .
Her heart still belonged to herself .
Joycelyn took out her phone and , after thinking for a while , decided to express her feelings about the relationship .
She first sent a cute picture of her dog .
Rocky .
Then she typed a message : [ Mr.
Grant , do you know why I like dogs ? ] Joycelyn watched the phone screen patiently , waiting .
After a while , Ellison replied with just a question mark .
Joycelyn seized the moment and continued : [ Because dogs are the most loyal companions .
] Ellison frowned at this sudden expression : [ Are you awake now ? Not sleepy anymore ? Why dont you come up and talk to me ? ] Joycelyn smiled , the blue light from her phone casting a serene and unique beauty on her calm face .
Instead of following his words , she said what she wanted to say : [ What I mean is , I hope that during our marriage , we can be absolutely loyal to each other .
If you get bored or have feelings for someone else , you can tell me .
We dont need to hide anything ; we can discuss it .
] Joycelyn spoke tactfully , not explicitly stating it was about him , but instead expressing it from both perspectives .
Ellisons teasing expression instantly turned cold .
He switched from one handed typing to both hands , immediately writing : [ You have someone else ? ] After sending that message , his eyebrows furrowed so tightly .
Knowing she was on her lunch break , he didnt call .
His deep , dark eyes stared intensely at the screen , his chest rising and falling noticeably .
In his mind , he went through all possible scenarios like secret crushes , first loves , and unfulfilled desires .
In the half a minute that Joycelyn did not reply , Ellison had already imagined countless things .
Ellisons mind raced .
What does her words mean ? Is she hinting at a divorce ? Joycelyn looked at his words and couldnt help but laugh : [ No , but who knows what the future holds .
] In the future , he might find someone else someone younger , prettier , with a better figure , and a better family background .
After all , he was Ellison Grant , the object of admiration for countless women , facing immeasurable temptations .
2/3 12:50 Sat , 15 Feb e Chapter 121 Joycelyn felt like the most ordinary and unremarkable person .
She had nothing but herself .
Ellison : [ You know I have no interest in Leal .
It was just a photo .
] Joycelyn : II know .
I was just saying .
I didnt take a photo to heart .
] She was calm and rational She didnt care about that photo at all .
Joycelyn lay on the table , hugging a pillow , watching the typing indicator on her phone .
She just kept staring .
71 % 11 After a long wait , she finally received his message : [ The Grant family has always upheld strict family values .
Theres no such thing as divorce , only widowhood ! ] Joycelyn blinked at the message , her brows furrowing .
He seemed more emotional than she had expected .
His words hinted at a domineering masculinity .
If he fell for someone else , it seemed he would take her life .
That was terrifying .
Joycelyn quickly reassured him : [ Its okay , its okay , Im going to sleep now , Im so tired .
] She added a yawning emoji .
After sending the message , Joycelyn was so frightened that she placed her phone far away .
Ellison was stunned .
She had made him furious , yet she just went to sleep without a care .
He grabbed his phone and stood up abruptly , his handsome face now dark and stormy .
His entire demeanor exuded a chilling aura that kept people at a distance .
