Chapter 140 Chapter 140 Were about to dock .
Finish up , and well head down , Joycelyn called out as she came back inside .
She started tidying up and gathering her things , leaving Ellison to his meal .
Dont rush , he said , not bothering to move .
Take your time .
Im not exactly quick at packing anyway , she sal , folding clothes efficiently as she worked .
CH 35 % Her hands worked quickly , sorting everything with practiced ease .
Even without ironing , she folded shirts so neatly they couldve come straight from a store display , The movements were so smooth and precise , it was the kind of thing that could satisfy anyone with a touch of OCD .
Ellison watched her for a moment before commenting .
Youre pretty good at that I used to work retail during summer breaks .
I folded shirts all day , she said with a proud little smile , stacking the folded pile to the side .
Folding Ellisons clothes , though , felt oddly different .
It wasnt just a chore ; it gave her a sense of belonging .
It was like her life had quietly settled into this new rhythm as a wife , one she hadnt expected but somehow felt right .
Joycelyn shook her head to snap herself out of the thought .
Why are you shaking your head ? Whats going on in there ? Ellison asked , his curiosity piqued as he polished off his meal .
Nothing youd get , she shot back with a playful pour .
Ellison raised an eyebrow and took a final sip of his drink before strolling over to her .
So , who used to handle all your clothes ? William ? she asked , glancing up at him .
At the office , yeah .
At home , the housekeeper , he replied with a shrug .
And who does the washing ? she pressed , her brows furrowing in curiosity .
There wasnt a maid around , and the butler rarely showed up .
The guy was practically a mystery .
He smirked .
No one .
I never wear anything twice .
Joycelyn stared at him , momentarily speechless .
Seriously ? What a waste .
From now on , Ill wash and iron everything .
Save you some money , she said , standing up and giving him a teasing look .
So generous , huh ? Ellisons eyes sparkled .
Just make sure to hand over the money youd have spent on new clothes , she added with a cheeky grin .
Ellison flicked her forehead lightly .
Greedy little thing .
1/4 11:23 Mon , Feb 17 Chapter 140 E- Joycelyn thought back to Lucys advice , If you were going to stick with a man , youd better know what you were getting out of it .
Either they were flawed or after something .
In this case , settling for his money didnt seem like the worst option .
All packed , she said , zipping up the suitcase and leaving behind anything unnecessary .
Ill handle it .
Ellison grabbed the handle from her without waiting for a reply .
For someone who wasnt used to lifting a finger , he seemed pretty comfortable doing things himself .
Joycelyn followed him , grinning .
Mr.
Grant , not only are you drop dead handsome , but youre thoughtful too .
I think Im falling for you all over again .
Ellison raised an eyebrow , amused .
Mrs.
Grant , youve been hanging around Leon too much .
His bad habits are starting to rub off on you Though his words sounded dismissive , the faint smile on his lips betrayed him .
Joycelyn laughed , brushing it off .
Leon is not so bad .
Honestly , hes kind of entertaining .
Makes life a little less boring .
She thought of Leons larger than life personality , a mix of chaos and comedy , and shook her head .
That guy really was something else .
Once outside , Joycelyn started snapping pictures of the beautiful scenery .
She couldnt help but gasp at how gorgeous everything looked , her camera capturing shot after shot .

Occasionally , she pointed it at Ellison , but the lens quickly shifted away , Mr.
Grant , you look amazing in photos , but sadly , I cant keep any of them on my phone .
If someone found them , Id be doomed , she teased , snapping a quick shot of him before turning her camera elsewhere .
Despite all the time theyd spent together , the only photo they had was the one on their marriage certificate .
No personal couple shots , no selfie .
Tell William to send you a few new phones tomorrow , ones just for private use , Ellison said , sounding completely unfazed , Joycelyn blinked , caught off guard .
Wait , are you serious ? this Well , I am too handsome for you not to take a picture , Ellison said casually , his tone smooth and unwavering .
Joycelyn Maynard smiled .
Her smile was especially bright under the sun .
One phone is enough , but I heard there are ones with dual systems .
You know , where different passwords open separate setups .
Can I get one of those ? she asked , her tone playful but curious .
Of course .
Want the stars too ? Ill grab a couple for you .
Ellison replied smoothly , his voice dripping with effortless charm .
That was all it took to melt away Joycelyns lingering worries .
In that moment , everything felt light and uncomplicated , like they were just a normal couple enjoying each others company .
She couldnt resist anymore and held up her phone , taking their first selfie together .
The wind on the deck was wild , tossing their hair around like it had its own plans .
11:23 Mon , Feb 17 Chapter 140 Joycelyn grinned wide , bright and carefree , while Ellison leaned closer to the camera .
The wind ruffled his hair across his forehead , partially covering his eyes , but it only added to his photogenic charm.
His usual cool , distant expression softened into something warmer , almost playful .
After snapping the photo , Joycelyn stared at it for a while , smiling to herself .
She had always avoided selfies before too self conscious .
But now , seeing herself in the frame , she felt … content .
Confident , even .
Even though their relationship had its give and take , it was making her a better person .
Nice , she thought , slipping her phone back into her pocket as they stepped off the cruise ship .
The moment her feet hit the soft sand , a sharp voice broke through the serene beach atmosphere .
I dont care who Ms.
Wilson is , and no , Im not taking any photos ! I said I dont have time ! The voice came from a man with his back turned to them .
His curly hair was slightly unkempt , adding to his rugged presence .
Despite the messy look , he stood tall and imposing .
Sir , Mr.
Grant and his wife are here , William announced , stepping forward .
w film The man , Henry , turned slightly , revealing his striking features .
With curly brown hair and a face resembling a young star However , he didnt seem like he had much patience and definitely didnt care about his appearance .
Yeah , alright .
Not like were shooting now , Henry said , glancing back at Ellison and Joycelyn with a clear look of annoyance .
Joycelyn bit her lip and looked at Ellison , silently asking .
Did you invite a diva here ? Ellisons face darkened , a dangerous look flashing across it .
Joycelyn quickly patted his arm , signaling him to calm down .
Henry walked up and introduced himself with an arrogant tone .
Here to return Jasons favor .
Names Henry .
Joycelyn looked at him , confused .
He wasnt exactly thrilled to be here , and it was surprising to see someone treating Ellison this way Yet , she couldnt help but feel a little excited to see what was going to happen next .
kid TM Then , out of nowhere , Ellison reached out and punched him .
Youve got some guts , kid .
Henry grinned , flashing a big smile .
Long time no see , man .
Joycelyn was shocked .
Wait , do these two actually know each other ? How did Ellison end up knowing someone like this ? Is this your wife ? Henry asked , glancing at Joycelyn .
Yeah , Ellison nodded .
Henry immediately opened his arms for a hug .
Mrs.
Grant , Im Henry .
He said it in fluent Ratanian and pulled Joycelyn into a warm hug .
Ellison didnt waste any time , he quickly wrapped his 11:23 Mon , Feb 1 / Chapter 140 arms around Joycelyn , cutting Henry off .
William also quickly stepped in , pushing Henry away .
Shes not someone you can hug .
Im the one who can .
Henry looked William up and down , his smile widening .
His eyes lit up when he saw the sharp , handsome William .
Joycelyn felt something was off .
Henry seemed a bit distant with her , but he had no problem hugging William , and he wasnt letting go .
No way , no way ! she thought , an idea forming in her mind .
