An Joycelyn English Novel Chapter 216
Chapter 216 1 “No, not at all,” Sandra pouted playfully, a slight teasing edge to her voice. She thought, ‘She just couldn’t shake the feeling that Kingston was different. “When are we heading home? I’m so tired,” Sandra yawned after finishing her meal. “Wait a bit longer. Isolde needs to rest too,” Luna replied just as thunderous applause erupted from the dance floor. It turned out that Joycelyn and Ellison had finished their dance, and the crowd was cheering for them. Feeling slightly embarrassed, Joycelyn pulled away from Ellison’s hand. “I’ll go find Isolde. You can head back first.” “I’ll wait for you outside,” Ellison said, his gaze sweeping through the crowd, his energy completely shifting.

She thought, ‘If I get in that passenger seat, there’ll be no chance to keep things unclear. Despite many people already figuring out my identity, being a Scorpio, I still enjoy a little mystery!’ “Isolde, how about we ride in this car instead?” Ellison was driving himself, and as the wealthy business people and socialites departed, they followed behind, seemingly eager to flatter him. Everyone stayed back, waiting for Isolde and Joycelyn to leave before getting into their cars. Suddenly, Joycelyn found herself basking in the feeling of being the center of attention. A wave of inexplicable tension ran down her spine. She wondered, ‘It was like being a national treasure, every move under a watchful eye!‘ “You take this car; it’ll be more spacious for Luna, Sandra, and me in the other one.”…
