Chapter 34 Chapter 34 Joycelyn finished packing her things and headed to the underground parking garage to drive her car just as she unlocked it , a small dogs bark suddenly came from beneath the car .
She crouched down to see what was going on Under the car , a tiny , soaking wet , and dirty little white stray dog was huddled .
When it saw Joycelyn , it barked nervously Woof Woo ! Shh , its okay , I wont hurt you , Joycelyn said softly , trying to calm the little dog .
The puppy shrank back under the car , shivering all over .
Its large , round eyes were fixed warily on Joycelyn .
The two of them just stared at each other for a few seconds .
The dog stopped barking , curling into a ball , still trembling .
Seeing it so scared made Joycelyn feel sorry for it .
Wait here .
Ill get you something to eat , Joycelyn said , not sure if the dog could understand her .
She quickly put on a mask and went back to the cafeteria to buy some corns .
When she returned , the puppy was still hiding under her car .
She pushed the corns toward the little dog .
Here you go .
Once youre full , youll feel warmer and wont be so scared .
The puppy must have been starving .
It slowly crawled out , sniffed the food , and then began eating eagerly .
In no time , it finished the coms .
Once it had eaten , the little dog seemed a little braver .
It wagged its tail and walked over to Joycelyn , seeking affection .
Her heart melted , and she crouched down to gently pet it .
The puppy was well behaved , its tail wagging nonstop .
It was clear it was innocent and trusting just one meal had won it over .
Did you hurt your paw ? Joycelyn asked , noticing the dogs limp ..
The puppy didnt seem to feel any pain ; it just kept wagging its tail and smiling at her .
Joycelyn had been in a bad mood earlier , but now she felt instantly cheered up .
If you want , I can take care of you .
Ill bring you home , okay ? The puppy looked up at her , wagging its tail even more enthusiastically .
It made a soft , whiny sound , almost like an answer .
Alright , Ill take that as a yes , Joycelyn said , scooping the little wet dog into her arms and using her jacket to cushion the seat .
At that moment , she was so focused on helping the puppy that she forgot to check with Ellison about bringing the dog home .
She drove to the pet hospital and had the puppy checked out .
They spent the afternoon there while Joycelyn learned how to properly care for a dog .
She also bought a bunch of supplies for the little one .
By the time she was done , it was almost dark , and she suddenly remembered that Ellison would be getting off work soon , She thought he might have something planned for the evening .
Quickly , she picked up the little dog and rushed back to her car .
Rocky , sit tight .
Were going home .
17:07 Me , 11 Feb Chapter 34 Just as she finished speaking , her phone rang .
It was Ellison .
Hey … Im on my way back .
Are you home yet ? Joycelyn answered while fastening her seatbelt .
自 Tm heading back now , should be there in about half an hour , Ellison replied from his car , casually playing with a platinum ring he had just picked up at a jewelry store .
Ill be home in half an hour too .
Im on the road now , Joycelyn said before hanging up .
She glanced over at the little dog sitting on the passenger seat , its fluffy fur looking so clean and adorable .
For a moment , she almost sent Ellison a photo to let him know about the new addition .
But then she hesitated , thinking , What if he doesnt agree to keep the dog ? I wouldnt be able to .
If I bring the puppy home first and he doesnt want it , maybe , seeing how cute and clean it is , he will be more willing to accept it .
With that thought , Joycelyn decided to just go ahead and follow the GPS .
Rocky , lets go home , she said .
Woof ! The little dog wagged its tail happily and barked in response .
As the rain began to let up in the evening, Joycelyn was in high spirits .
She imagined what life would be like once she had the puppy spending time with Ellison would be less awkward and more enjoyable with the dog around .
When she neared the villa , she spotted Ellisons black Bentley ahead .
She followed closely behind and briefly flashed her headlights .
Mr.
Grant , Mrs.
Grant is behind us , William noticed Joycelyns car and informed Ellison .
Ellison tucked the ring back into his suit pocket .
The two cars pulled into the garage , one following the other .
Ellison got out of his car first .
Joycelyn parked , hopping out of her car with cheerful , quick steps .
She opened the passenger door , picked up the puppy .
and cradled it in her arms .
Mr.
Grant , I found this dog .
Is it okay if I keep it ? She asked , beaming as she looked at him , her eyes full of excitement as she held the little dog .
Behind her , the sharply dressed Ellison froze the moment he saw the pair .
His usually calm and composed features stiffened , his brows furrowing sharply .
Joycelyn noticed the change in his expression and her smile faltered , turning into a nervous , awkward bite of her lip .
Ive already bathed it and had it vaccinated and dewormed … The vet said its perfectly healthy and clean … Her tone shifted from bright and excited to more hesitant , as if she was trying to justify her decision .
She suddenly realized that Ellison , who wouldnt even let his phone come to bed , probably wasnt too fond of pets .
Her heart skipped a beat with uncertainty .
She stood there , holding the puppy , looking at Ellison with a mix of confusion and unease .
The little dog in her arms kept its tome out grinning happily .
Ellisons expression darkened further .
His voice was low and tense .
Where did you find this ugly dog ? Its actually kind of cute , Joycelyn replied earnestly , a little defensive .
I found it under my car .
And … its not ugly .
Its just a 17:07 Pae , 11 Feb 11 Chapter 34 typical street dog .
52 % Ellison fell silent , his features hardening in the bright light of the garage , casting shadows that made his face look even more cold and sharp .
He stood several yards away , his body language radiating resistance .
As Joycelyn watched , his brow furrowed deeper , his face no longer its usual cool , detached expression , but one clouded with displeasure .
She took a step back , suddenly feeling nervous .
Uh , I wont keep it inside .
Ill keep it outside … is that okay ? Her voice was soft , almost pleading .
She really liked the puppy and didnt want to give it up .
Ellison remained silent , his face tight , his eyes locked on her , as if considering his options .
Joycelyn had never seen him this upset , and the sight made her uneasy .
I bought a crate for it .
Can I just keep it in the backyard ? She looked up at him , her eyes filled with hope , but when he didnt answer , her expression turned sad and she lowered her gaze Alright , you can keep it in the backyard , Ellison finally relented , his tone still cold .
Without another word , he turned and walked toward the elevator .
The moment he agreed , Joycelyn immediately bowed with the puppy in her arms .
Thank you , Mr.
Grant ! Youre the best Her voice was light and sweet , ringing through the quiet garage .
After Ellison entered the house , William approached Joycelyn to explain .
Mr.
Grant seems to be afraid of dogs .
If you want to keep it , Ill have a small doghouse built in the backyard tomorrow .
Itll need to stay in a crate , though What ? Hes afraid of dogs ? Joycelyn blinked , surprised , thinking , No wonder he looked so stiff when he saw me holding the dog earlier .
Whys he afraid of dogs ? Theyre so cute , she asked curiously .
Apparently , he was bitten by a dog when he was a kid , William said in a low voice , making a shh gesture .
Thats a secret heard from his mom .
