Chapter 142 Chapter 142 When William heard this , he leaned in to take a look .
What are you talking about ? See the gentleness on his face ? And look at Mrs.
Grant , shes beautiful , sure , but shes totally missing his hidden feelings .
Theyre not on the same wavelength , Henry explained , a touch dramatic .
William squinted at the camera for a long moment .
All he saw was a beautiful couple .
I dont see it .
Youre imagining things .
Henry rolled his eyes and yanked the camera back .
Straight people , he muttered under his breath.
William frowned , still puzzled .
Meanwhile , Joycelyn stood in front of the mirror , adjusting her posture as she admired her reflection This dress really did wonders , it made her feel every inch the elegant CEOs wife .
The diamond encrusted wedding gown was a showstopper .
Its strapless design wasnt too revealing , the cinched waist highlighted her figure perfectly , and the dramatic skirt gave her an ethereal vibe .
The diamonds sparkled like crazy , catching the light in a way that made the whole thing feel magical .
For a moment , Joycelyn let herself bask in the joy of her childhood dream coming true , she looked like a princess straight out of a fairy tale .
How do I look ? she asked , turning slightly to check the back .
Then , she noticed Ellison standing behind her , his gaze locked , on her reflection .
Не He didnt say anything , but his eyes were so intense it made her heart skip .
Feeling flustered , she looked down and fiddled with her gown .
Well ? Do I look good or not ? Honestly , she felt absolutely beautiful in this moment and just hoped it didnt come across as narcissistic You look stunning , he said , his voice steady .
But I bet itll look even better in the sunlight .
Ellison bent down , adjusting her skirt with surprising care .
Its a little heavy , she admitted , but sometimes looking good is worth it .
This was her first wedding dress , and she knew she would hold onto the joy and excitement of this moment for a long time .
Theyre all real diamonds , custom made , Ellison said as he stepped closer , his hand resting lightly on Joycelyns waist .
Of course , theyre heavier .
The staff in the room , although they couldnt understand the language Joycelyn spoke , exchanged glances but kept quiet , aware of Ellisons commanding presence .
Yet , when they saw the couple standing together in front of the mirror , their intimate gestures made everyone murmur softly with envy .
It wasnt like Ellison to act so openly affectionate , and Joycelyn , noticing all the eyes on them , quickly composed herself .
Um , I think Ill go get my hair and makeup done now , she said , trying to steer the attention elsewhere .
She wasnt used to this much PDA , especially not in front of a crowd .
Ellison , however , didnt seem bothered .
1/8 11:24 Mon , Feb 17 o Chapter 142 Π He simply smiled as he watched her gather her gown and stride toward the dressing table with as much poise as she could mister .
Joycelyn sat down in the plush chair , glancing at Ellison , who stood behind her with his arms crossed , looking relaxed but ever so watchful .
He spoke softly in a language she didnt recognize his voice low and smooth .
The stylist team immediately got to work , four or five people moving in unison .
One young woman knelt in front of Joycelyn , carefully starting on her nails .
Joycelyn shifted uncomfortably .
The whole scene felt excessive , and the kneeling made her uneasy .
What language was that ? she asked , catching Ellisons gaze in the mirror .
Valisian , he said simply .
Can you tell her she doesnt need to kneel ? She should use a stool or something .
This feels … unnecessary , Joycelyn said , raising her brows at him .
Being good at Mersian was one thing , but now Valisian ? She felt completely out of her depth .
Ellison chuckled and relayed the message .
The manicurist paused mid task , stunned for a moment , before standing and nodding deeply toward Joycelyn in gratitude .
William quickly handed her a small stool , and she sat down with a quiet smile .
The stylists continued their work , the atmosphere buzzing with quiet admiration .
Even Henry couldnt resist snapping a photo of Joycelyn .
For a moment , she felt like a celebrity .
At first , the attention made her awkward , but she quickly settled into the rhythm .
Everyone was just doing their jobs , and she deserved to enjoy this once in a lifetime moment .
Joycelyns natural beauty made their jobs easier .
Her delicate features ; an oval face with a high , petite nose and strikingly clear eyes , gave her a timeless , graceful appeal .
There was a subtle coolness to her warmth , a charm that was both inviting and distant .
Her eyes , especially , were mesmerizing , like a spring that reflected light in the gentlest way .
The stylists worked their magic lightly , enhancing her already stunning features with soft touches of makeup .
A few delicate diamonds were added to the corners of her eyes , complementing the brilliance of her diamond wedding dress and giving her an ethereal , fairy like glow .
Ellison , standing nearby , seemed unable to look away .
It was as if he was seeing Joycelyn in a new light for the first time .
His gaze was intense , and for a moment , he didnt even blink .
Breaking his trance , he reached over to the stylist holding a pair of crystal heels and knelt in front of Joycelyn .
Put these on , he said .
Joycelyn was startled , her reflection forgotten .
Seeing Ellison , a man of such stature , crouching in front of her to help her 2/3 11:24 Mon , Feb 17 o Chapter 142 change shoes felt surreal Tcan do it myself , she blurted , her cheeks flushing with embarrass Your dress is in the way .
Let me , he replied casually , as if it were no big deal .
He gently lifted her ankle , his hand warm and steady .
Joycelyns breath hitched as she instinctively curled her toes , suddenly self conscious .
She bent down to grab the heels , but the tightness of the dress around her waist stopped her .
Good grief, this thing is gorgeous but useless , she thought .
On top of that , it was a tube top .
She barely leaned forward before catching Ellisons gaze .
The possessive gleam in his eyes made her freeze .

Straightening up quickly , she cleared her throat .
Sorry to trouble you .
Ellison smiled , not at all bothered .
No problem .
Besides , Im older than you .
Might need you to take care of me one day .
She blinked , startled .
What ? Is he seriously thinking 40 or 50 years ahead ? I dont think well get there , she mumbled , more to herself than anything .
Ellison looked up at her , his hand still on her ankle .
Why ? Planning to leave me ? His hand lingered slightly before pulling back , his expression amused .
Joycelyn could almost picture him , showing off their wedding photos tomorrow to make her role as Mrs.
Grant official if she said yes .
