She pushed Ellison away , signaling for him to stop .
But Ellison didnt budge .
In fact , when they were interrupted , the playful look in his eyes darkened , and as he kissed .
Joycelyn , he shot Leah a sharp , almost threatening glance .
Leah froze , startled by his arrogant , domineering gaze .
Sorry ! Didnt mean to interrupt , she quickly muttered , with a half smile , as if making light of the situation .
But only she knew how shocked and jealous she felt inside .
Without lingering , she turned and went straight into the room to pretend to check on Isolde .
Yet the image of the passionate kiss stayed burned in her mind , Haunting her .
Joycelyn , unable to get Ellison to let go , twisted her hand into his waist .
His clear , mesmerizing eyes stared at her , full of mock annoyance like a playful little kitten ready to lash out .
She was clearly upset now .
Seeing her eyes redden with anger , Ellison softly kissed her lips and then reluctantly pulled back , but not without a mischievous grin on his face .
He was such a tease more daring in broad daylight than at home .
Joycelyn , fuming , clenched her fists and punched him lightly before storming off to the sink with the fruit basket .
Ellison licked his lips , savoring the moment , his smile wicked .
Joycelyn stood at the sink , scrubbing the fruit , her head low , wishing she could peel the red apple in her hand to release her frustration .
Still not enough ? Taking it out on the apple ? Ellison asked , arms crossed , leaning against the counter with a smirk .
Joycelyn looked up sharply .
Her fair face was flushed bright red, and her eyes wet and fiery were locked on him in an angry stare .
Her lips , kissed only moments before , were still swollen and tender .
Despite her fierce expression , to Ellison , she looked like a delicate , feisty kitten puffed up , ready to fight , but still utterly irresistible .
That smile of his , the one that had been buried for days , resurfaced now , Seventh day today , right ? Ellison asked , looking down at her with an unreadable gaze Joycelyn asked , What do you mean , seventh day ? Your period , Ellison said , his voice low and intense , his eyes smoldering with an almost fiery heat .

Joycelyn , furious , splashed water in his face .
Just wake up alreader Ellison didnt flinch , letting the water drip down his face and shit as he kept his gaze firmly on her , undeterred .
His eyes bored into her , calm on the surface , but inside his thoughts were filled with images of Joycelyn beneath him , seductive and alluring .
He swallowed hard , his body reacting with primal desire .
Hearing the soft hiss of his breath , Joycelyn knew shed pushed her luck , so she continued to wash the fruit , pretending to focus on it .
But Ellison wasnt leaving .
He was watching her intently , his gaze piercing through her .
You should go check on Isolde .
No need to stay here with me , Joycelyn muttered , hoping hed take the hint .
Grandma has them covered , Ellison replied nonchalantly .
Joycelyn sighed , deciding not to press it further .
Instead , she hurriedly finished washing the fruit .
Seeing her silence , Ellison reached out and pinched her flushed earlobe .
The rough touch made her shudder , her body jolting like a shock of electricity .
You … Joycelyn turned her head , glaring at him , trying to escape his touch .
What ? Whats wrong ? Ellisons eyes darkened as he gazed at her clearly amused by her flustered reaction .
Youre so bad , Joycelyn huffed after a long pause , finally blurting out her frustration , You too eager to gossip about your husbands affaire , Ellison teased , his voice smooth .
It was clear that he was getting back at her for teasing him earlier and gossiping about him .
How nice , Joycelyn said with a little sniff , completely unaware that her words were stepping right into Ellisons danger zone .
Wherever you go , there are always amazing women admiring you .
Youre such a heartthrob .
So you believe me ? Ellison asked , his voice dropping a little .
Of course .
If you had a better option , you wouldnt need to say anything .
Ill take care of it myself , Joycelyn said with a sly grin , unfazed by any internal conflict .
Ellisons expression tightened at her words , the playfulness suddenly gone .
Try running .
Ill break your legs first , he said , his voice hardening .
Im done here .
Im not talking to you anymore , Joycelyn said , picking up the fruit and heading to the coffee table by the bed .
She didnt even look at him as his demeanor shifted .
Leah , seeing her return , acted like nothing had happened .
Mrs.
Grant , youre so considerate .
Taking care of all these little so things yourself .
No wonder Mr.
Grant is looked after .
11:56 Fri , Feb 14 B BG Chapter Sti Joycelyn , slightly taken aback by the compliment , only smiled and said , Youre too kind .
It wasnt lost on her , though , that calling it small things made it sound like she was just the maid .
Leah , you just started coming , right ? I dont think Ive seen you before , Joycelyn asked casually .
Leah smiled softly, nodding .
Yes , I only arrived recently with Kingston , invited by Mr.
Grant .
Hed been in seclusion before that Leah spoke with grace , exuding the aura of a high class lady , always poised and polite , with a serene , almost saintly presence .
Joycelyn nodded , slightly distracted .
Sounds good .
Kingston is the best traditional medicine practitioner in the country .
Next time hes here , Ill introduce you , Leah added , pride evident in her tone .
Oh , well see next time , Joycelyn replied , uninterested .
Leah was quick to read the room .
Sensing Joycelyns disinterest , she graciously shifted the conversation , Isolde is resting .
If she feels uncomfortable when she wakes up , Ill come back .
I wont disturb you for now , Leah said with a smile , slowly getting up and speaking to Ellison , who had just come out behind her .
She knew when to step back , not forcing her presence .
Joycelyn , watching Leah leave , glanced at Ellison , who looked cold and unreadable .
She pouted , avoiding him .
Without acknowledging him sitting beside her .
Joycelyn took out her phone and changed her profile picture to one of Rocky , feeling content .
Ellisons gaze remained fixed on her , dark and intense .
Change it .
I dont want to keep talking to you , staring at that dogs face , he said with a low growl .

I like it .
I want to , Joycelyn replied , fully satisfied with her choice as she admired Rockys cute face on her screen .
Meanwhile , Leah , now outside the room , immediately began searching for information about Ellisons wife .
She scoured the internet , but found nothing clear not even a wedding announcement or gossip .
Leah couldnt help but wonder : could it be that they were faking their marriage to cover up something with Isolde ? Ө
