- Chapter 240
- Joycelyn saw Ellison’s words as a tease.
- Holding Ellison’s hand, Joycelyn walked into the living room. Isolde soon hung up the phone and threw it to Luna.
- “Brat, are you alright?” Isolde walked over and looked Ellison up and down.
- Ellison stood upright and looked great though his right hand was wounded.
- “You seem fine. Joycelyn, Luna cooked you some soup. Come taste it.” Isolde went over and pulled Joycelyn toward the dining room.
- Joycelyn could not say no to Isolde, so she looked back at Ellison, whose back was straight.
- She had surprise and confusion on her face. ‘Why did I, instead of the wounded Ellison, get dragged away for the soup?”
- “Well, Isolde, I am not injured. I am fine.”
- It was Ellison who needed the soup.
- 0
- “You were scared, so you deserve something good. Besides, you must be tired from looking after that brat. What a long day for you!”
- Isolde felt sorry for Joycelyn as if Joycelyn were her biological granddaughter and Ellison were her grandson–in–law.
- Hesitant, Joycelyn kept looking back at Ellison. She didn’t feel relieved till he soothed her with a wink.
- “Brat, come over. Joycelyn can’t drink up all the soup alone.”
- “Coming. The rest will be mine.” Ellison had to follow behind his wife.
- Sandra didn’t go home because she was protecting Pearl in the hospital.
- If Sandra was back, Ellison wouldn’t have the honor to taste the soup.
- In the dining room, Luna served the dishes.
- Isolde sat at the head of the table and watched the Grant couple drink the soup.
- “Isolde, something on your mind?” Joycelyn noticed that Isolde’s expression was unusually solemn.
- “The fire is on the news. Your uncle called me, and I lashed out at him. Your great–grandfather’s 100th birthday is around the corner, and a grand celebration will be held for it. We will have to spend one whole week in our hometown.
- “Your grandfather’s birthday is two days after your great–grandfather’s, and your parents‘ deathday is one week after it. Usually, the celebration for your great–grandfather’s birthday lasts for one day. Now, I am not in the mood for it. Your uncle and his family are incapable but love to cause trouble.”
- It was easy to tell that Isolde was still mad.
- Biting the spoon, Joycelyn felt sorry for Isolde. Isolde sounded peaceful, but her clenched fists got her true feelings exposed.
- Her husband died young, and so did her son. When her only grandson was in trouble, his wealth was coveted by their
- relatives.
- Anyone in her shoes couldn’t feel happy.
- Ellison took out his phone and asked William to begin an investigation.
- <96%
- “Isolde, don’t worry. We will go with you. You have a lot of people on your side. With Sandra and Leon around, nobody dares to mess with you. His mouth has no rivals while she can knock down many people in one breath.”
- Joycelyn sounded aggressive.
- Isolde was amused by Joycelyn’s speech. She looked at her grandson. “He can’t bear to part with you.”
- “I will go too. I will take the chance to introduce her to my parents,” Ellison said in a hoarse voice.
- “When will we set off?”
- “The day after tomorrow. Let’s put it aside. Drink on. Have an early night after dinner. I have a headache, and Dr. Mason may help.”
- “Is it severe? I will invite Dr. Mason over right away.”
- “Not severe. Let’s have dinner first.” Isolde waved her hand to stop Joycelyn from calling the doctor over.
- After dinner, Joycelyn drove Ellison home.
- Ellison was a neat freak. He was anxious to go home for a bath though Joycelyn had helped him wipe his body and get changed in the hospital.
- Joycelyn was left with no choice but to take Ellison home, as well as his bitter potion.
- The Grant couple was back home. When Joycelyn closed the door, Ellison began to take off his shirt with one hand.
- He seemed anxious.
- “What’s wrong?” Joycelyn put down the potion and went over to help Ellison.
- “My hand is injured, so bathe me. After the bath, let’s try to make a baby tonight.” Ellison lowered his gaze to hide his emotions. When he looked at Joycelyn again, there was a smile in his eyes.
- “No, because you have to take your medicine recently. We will begin after your recovery. Relax. The bad people don’t dare to mess with Isolde and you.”
- Joycelyn thought that Ellison was unhappy with this delay.
- She went into the bathroom and ran a bath for Ellison after she helped him take off his shirt.
- Ellison chuckled dotingly.
- He was hot, so his bath water should be a bit cold.
- Joycelyn was attentive to her husband.
- When Joycelyn was in the bathroom, Ellison took out his phone and glanced at the new message.
- Instantly, his pupils constricted at its content.
- “Aaron Grant is supposed to stay overseas, so his abrupt return is fishy. Find out his recent contacts. He may be looking for his illegitimate son. Don’t forget to alert his wife when you find that illegitimate child.” Ellison’s hoarse voice sounded fierce.
- The childish Ellison in the hospital had been gone.
- Aaron was Ellison’s uncle, a representative figure of Ellison’s greedy relatives.
- Besides, he was the most ambitious one.
- Ellison would show no mercy to Aaron if the latter dared to mess with him.
