Chapter 188 Jovelyn gazed at the message on her phone , her eyes reddening with emotion .
Suffing a sol , she took a deep breath to calm herself down , but her thoughts grew chantic at the serious , potentially unlawful implications .
She could hardly believe that such a capable man would prepare for the worst .
Without hesitation .
Joycelyn quickly typed Nothing will happen No matter what , Grandma and I will always be here for you Trust yourself ] Ellison read the message , his smile lingering on his face for a long time .
Though in good spirits , he paused before replying .
After a brief moment , he responded [ Dont worry , its just a possibility .
If it ever comes to a divorce , my greatest concern is Grandma .
Would you take care of her for me ? ] Joycelyn heart skipped a beat at the sight of the word divorce .
Her reddened eyes quickly filled with tears , blurring her vision .
An overwhelming wave of tension , unease , and fear took hold , leaving her emotions spiraling out of control .
Her hand trembled as she held the phone , uncertain of how to respond .
In the beginning , she had indeed considered divorce , harboring po hope for their relationship and merely going through the motions to satisfy both families .
But after everything they had experienced together , while Joycelyn had braced herself for the worst , the reality of truly facing this moment left her utterly at a loss .
She couldnt remain as nonchalant as she once was .
Joycelyn sobbed and wiped away her tears Hearing the commotion , Selene and Melly , who were eating watermelon , were shocked to see Joycelyn crying so intensely .
Joycelyn had a gentle nature , but she was also very composed and rarely showed such vulnerability .
Joycelyn , darling , whats wrong ? Selene quickly approached to comfort her .
Joycelyn locked her phone , set it down , and took a deep breath to steady herself Its nothing .
Im going to find Mr.
Grant , she said , rising with her phone in hand .
Her fair , gentle face bore a hint of resolve .
Oh , okay .
Selene was taken aback by Joycelyns resolute demeanor .
Not daring to probe further , she and Melly watched as Joycelyn headed toward the elevator .
Once she entered the elevator , the two exchanged worried glances .
I hardly ever see Joycelyn cry .
She just started studying this .
Now that this has happened , has she been affected too ? Melly swallowed and nodded instinctively .
Maybe .
Everyone assumed that Joycelyn was crying because of a problem related to her studies when she went to find Ellison .
This time , Joycelyn did not hold back .
She exited the elevator and walked straight to the CEOs office .
1/3 Feb Chapter 188 Even when colleagues in the assistants office greeted her , she merely nodded in acknowledgment .
She reached the door of the CEOs office and knocked .
Ellison , still waiting for news , mistook the knock for a work repaj and didnt respond .
Joycelyn knocked again , but still didnt hear any reply from hi Without thinking , she turned the doorknob and stepped inside ) She saw the man standing by the window , his tall and slender figure framed against the backdrop of the citys most bustling CBD towers .
He exuded a majestic , almost emperor like aura that made him seem more intimidating than ever .
Joycelyn closed the office door behind her .
Ellison , hearing the noise , turned his head to glance over .
He realized with a start that it was Joycelyn .
The cheerful girl from just moments ago now wore a solemn expression , her beautiful eyes filled with tears , looking utterly aggrieved .
Ellison immediately set his phone aside .
The smile on his lips faded , and he asked softly , Why did you come up ? Joycelyn / rushed over to him , wrapped her arms around him tightly , buried her face in his chest , and began to cry .
Ellisons body tensed slightly , but he couldnt suppress his smile .
He lowered his voice intentionally and asked , What happened ? Why are you crying ? Though he knew the answer , he enjoyed the secret satisfaction of asking .
After waiting for so long without a reply , it turned out she had come looking for him .
If there are no problems in our relationship , I will not agree to a divorce , Joycelyn sobbed , but her voice remained resolute .
Ellisons strikingly handsome face became even more serious , and his dark eyes grew more intense .
What if something happens to me and it affects you ? he demanded .
Joycelyn lifted her face , her clear eyes clouded with a thin layer of tears .
Her voice choked , sounding soft like a little childs .
Im not afraid .
As long as you dont fall for another woman or cheat on me , I wont divorce you .
If you end up in jail , Ill wait for you to come out .
Ellison gently wiped the tears from her face , his voice laced with tenderness .
What if I lose everything ? Would you still want me Yes , Joycelyn replied firmly , though her eyes were misty with tears .
At most , Ill work to support you while I wait for you .
Ellisons heart softened , and he leaned down to kiss her on the lips .
Really ? Really ! At this moment , Joycelyn had steeled herself for the shock that he had gone bankrupt and lost everything .
But even then , she believed that as long as they worked hard , theyd manage .
Ellison chuckled and pressed his forehead against Joycelyns .
Then … Before he could say anything , Zhang Weiguos voice came from outside the door .
The voice and the sound of the door opening appeared at the same time .
Before he could finish , Zacharys voice cut through , accompanied by the sound of the door opening as he barged in .
Mr.
Grant , I dont think we can just sit here and wait … He was like a grandfather figure to Ellison Grant , and when he was 11:20 Thu , Feb 20 Chapter 188 anxious , he lacked any sense of decorum .
He opened the door and caught sight of Ellison holding the petite woman in his arms .
His face immediately flushed red .

Joycelyn remained calm .
Anyway , her back was to the door .
But Ellison , visibly irritated , gritted his teeth .

His wife had just confessed to him , and then this old man had to interrupt ! Ө
