"Dr. Mason, you didn't get to drink the coffee that you made just now," Joycelyn said. "Why don't I make you some watermelon juice to cool you down?" Her intellectual and warm expression, with a smile, remained completely unaffected by Leah's attempts to stir up emotions.
She thought. I'm indeed married to Ellison, but I didn't lose myself in love. Leah is being too eager and foolish, coming at me with two-faced provocation right off the bat. It's quite ridiculous.
"Mrs. Grant, I'm just reminding you out of kindness," Leah said. "You're born into an average family. Other than being somewhat good-looking, you have no other strengths. As time passes, even an exceptionally perfect man will get tired of
you.
Thanks for the compliment that I'm good-looking. Take a guess why Ellison chose to marry me out of all the heiresses and socialites." Joycelyn gently caressed Rocky as she looked at Leah's serious and competitive gaze with a smiling expression.
"Why?" Sure enough, Leah's curiosity was piqued by Joycelyn, whose smile became even more radiant. There was even a hint of slyness in her clear eyes as she said. "Take a guess."
Her playful tone immediately made Leah frown in displeasure, wiping away the serious expression she had just had
"She's toying with me!' Leah thought.
Joycelyn placed Rocky, who was full, into the large dog cage and closed the door.
She then stood up and said to Leah. "Dr. Mason, we'll have dinner in a bit. If there's anything else, we can discuss and talk while eating.
Joycelyn's voice was not soft. Ellison, who had just finished washing his hands and was walking over to check on Rocky, overheard it. "What were you guys talking about?" he asked.
"We're talking about our-Joycelyn elongated her tone. Just as she blurted it out, Leah immediately stood up and interrupted her.
"We talked about some things related to improving health," she said. "If Mrs. Grant wants to prepare to conceive, she needs to take steps ahead of time to ensure her body is in good health. Leah smiled gently, deliberately bringing up this topic again.
She thought, "If Ellison truly loves her, he definitely wants to have kids. After all, he's the only son, and with Grant Group being so large, Isolde will naturally care about heirs. If they dont want to have kids, they are just putting on a show
Joycelyn looked at Leah's beautiful face. The more she looked at it, the more she found it affected. She smiled and said, "Dr. Mason, why are you scared? Aren't you just curious why Ellison married me and not another woman? You can ask him yourself."
Ellison's blue eyes narrowed slightly, and his facial features seemed to carry a sense of unclear sharpness.
Leah's heart skipped a beat from that gaze, and she instantly felt hat her breathing became irregular. She then explained with a smile, "Mrs. Grant, I just wanted to have some celebratory drinks on your joyous occasion, so I couldn't help but ask a few more questions. If I've offended you, apologize." so much Joycelyn naturally did not give her a hard time. She smiled and id, "Dr. Mason, you're really enthusiastic, showing concern for me and Ellison. I appreciate your kindness." With that said, Joycelyn turned to look at Ellison and asked, "Dinner

is almost here, right? When are we having dinner?

"It's coming soon. Ellison said. "If you're hungry, have some snack to hold you over." He held Joycelyn's hand and walked toward the sink. "Wash your hands. You touched the dog earlier
"Got it." Joycelyn obediently squeezed a lot of hand soap and carefully washed her hands.
Leah was left standing there, looking out of place.
"After we finish dinner, I'll make her leave," Ellison said, standing beside Joycelyn. "I don't like outsiders in my home." He was clearly a high-and-mighty CEO, but at this moment, he had transformed into the perfect, devoted husband.
Joycelyn looked up and glanced at his cold expression. Then, she pursed her lips and smiled. "You're too charming. Any woman will like you."
"What about you?" Ellison lowered his voice and asked in a deep tone, his blue eyes filled with seriousness.
"L... like you." Joycelyn nodded. "You're tall, handsome, and capable. Who wouldn't like you?"
Joycelyn answered very quickly. But this response was too quick, making it seem like she was blowing him off.
"Mrs. Grant, you're really not being sincere," Ellison said. He was hot angry. Instead, he crossed his arms and patiently stood beside her, watching her wash her hands.
It gave off a strong sense of a wife being completely obedient and following her husband's lead.
Halfway through washing her hands, Joycelyn suddenly tilted her head and asked curiously, "Mr. Grant, could it be that you are smitten by me?"
Ellison had been looking at her delicate hands. When she asked that question, he immediately averted his gaze and snorted as if nothing had happened. "Young lady, you're quite full of yourself," he said. Holding a position of power, he had never shown submission to anyone.
There was no exception this time around. He was being stubbor
"Well, that's exactly my point," Joycelyn said. "You don't love me so why do you ask me to love you?" Her voice was very only loud enough for the two of them to hear.
Ellison's expression immediately darkened.
On the other hand, Joycelyn smiled radiantly, completely unbothered.
She was done washing her hands. William led the restaurant staf to bring the freshly cooked food to the dining table, and the family dinner officially began.
Dinner was luxurious, but the presence of the outsider, Leah, made Joycelyn somewhat restrained and quieter
At the dining table, Leah was basically taking care of Isolde. Compared to Joycelyn, she seemed more like a considerate granddaughter-in-law,
Isolde was in a good mood and did not overthink things.
soft
After dinner, Ellison saw Leah putting down her fork, and he immediately said, "It's dark now, and it's not safe for a girl to go home alone. William, send Dr. Mason back. Dr. Mason, you may get your brother to come pick you up too."

Leah was slightly stunned when she heard this, but soon, she voluntarily took the conversation from there, saying. "Then I'll have to trouble William to send me back. It's getting late, I have to go back to report to my brother."
Leah was very tactful, not making things difficult for everyone at all. She wore a gentle and graceful smile the entire time.
"Sure." Ellison then called William to send her home.
Leah stood up and said goodbye to everyone. "I'll head back now then. Isolde, if there's anything, give me a call. I will keep my phone on for you at any time."
Once Leah left, Isolde began discussing their wedding. "Ellison, Joycelyn, have you decided on your wedding date? Have you taken your wedding photos? Although you have to keep it a secret, you still have to do what needs to be done."
Joycelyn
did not dare to respond. She could only look at Ellison eagerly, waiting for him to answer.
She initially thought he would make some excuses. Unexpectedly, he nodded and said, "The customized wedding dress hasn't arrived yet. We'll make time to take the wedding photos at the end of the month." The time is so tight!' Joycelyn thought as she frowned, somewhat wanting to refuse.
She was a little flustered, thinking, If the word gets out, I'm finished
More and more people knew about their relationship. Although it was not exposed, Joycelyn figured that this matter would not be covered up for long.
She had many concerns.
"Alright, since you've already decided, I won't ask further," Isolde said. "I'll go back to the hospital tonight. / won't get in the

She chuckled. All her doubts had been dispelled.
I have to give the young couple some time and space so that they can have a little baby for me to take care of, she thought,
Joycelyn hurriedly called out to Isolde, "Isolde, stay here tonight She thought, 'If she were to leave, Ellison would seule the account for the week. There's no way I'd be able to get out of bed tomorrow. Just thinking about it makes my back and legs ache. I must make Ísolde stay
