- Chapter 267
- In the car, Joycelyn stared out at the dazzling nightscape, lost in thought
- The streetlights outside flickered in and out, casting soft, shifting light onto her delicate, palm–dized face. Hertaubat eyes reflected the glow, and her quiet demeanor radiated warmth and serenity.
- The silence in the car was broken when Ellison’s phone rang. Even though it wasit on speaker, the sound was clear in the quiet space.
- He said, “If they’re missing, just call them. They’re adults, How could they just disappear?
- Hearing this, Joycelyn withdrew her gaze from the window and turned to look at him.
- After he ended the call, she asked, “What happened? Who’s missing?”
- Ellison said, “Grandma called. She said that after we left, Tanya and Bellina followed us in their car. Now, no one can reach them. She asked if I knew anything.”
- Joycelyn frowned slightly, momentarily confused. “They couldn’t have just vanished, right?”
- From what she knew, Tanya and Bellina were the type of arrogant, spoiled heiresses who always made a grand spectacle wherever they went.
- The fact that they stuck together wasn’t surprising, nor was them following her and Ellison.
- Ellison replied, “If they did, that’s their problem.”
- Joycelyn said, “I have a feeling her father is the one worried. Otherwise, Grandma wouldn’t have bothered calling you.”
- “He’s afraid I’ll fall out with the Schultz family?” Ellison slid his phone into the pocket of his suit jacket. Then, in one swift motion, he pulled Joycelyn onto his lap.
- Joycelyn leaned against his shoulder, looking up at him with a hint of shyness in her eyes.
- Ellison’s deep gaze softened as he smiled faintly, the sharp lines of his features easing into a gentle expression.
- He said, “The Schultz family is a valuable business partner, but they’re not the only one. Since when have I ever needed to cater to anyone? The only person whose opinion matters to me… is you.”
- Hearing his warm, affectionate words, Joycelyn couldn’t hold back her laughter.
- “Am I that amusing?” Ellison narrowed his eyes and pinched her soft cheek. “If you keep laughing, I might just eat you up.”
- His voice was deep and husky, his fingers lightly squeezing her face. Joycelyn scrunched up her nose from the slight pain and playfully pushed his hand away. “You must be starving,” she teased.
- “Yes. I’ve been hungry for two whole days and nights.” He agreed with a low chuckle. He stared at her intensely.
- Joycelyn immediately understood what he meant.
- For the past few days, they had been quite restrained at night.
- “Wait a little longer. Just five more days,” she said mischievously, reaching up to pinch his ridiculously handsome face.
- His skin was flawless, smooth, and firm. He was a man truly favored by the heavens.
- Seeing Ellison’s predatory gaze, Joycelyn grinned sweetly. “If you’re so hungry, just eat more food later.”

- Ellison smirked. “How about we extend our trip a few more days?”
- His eyes stayed locked on her, watching her so intensely that her heart skipped a beat.
- Joycelyn found herself helplessly caught in his charm. Her eyelashes fluttered as she blinked repeatedly, struggling against his pull before finally blurting out, “No, this isn’t right!”
- The distance between them had closed so much that they could feel each other’s breath, their eyelashes nearly brushing against one another.
- And in the next instant, one of his hands locked around her waist, while the other cradled the back of her head as he kissed her, completely unrestrained.
- She couldn’t break free.
- Her soft lips were sweet and intoxicating, crashing against Ellison’s senses with overwhelming intensity.
- Ellison loved kissing her. She was always inexperienced and always a little clumsy, just like now. It made his heart melt. She was like the finest delicacy. He nibbled and trailed his lips downward until he reached her delicate collarbone. Ellison knew he shouldn’t lose control at this moment, but he had underestimated Joycelyn’s charm. His lips lingered on hers, teasing and tasting, while a fiery heat surged up from his chest, burning away his restraint.
- Every last thread of tension in his mind snapped, his rationality unraveling as he drowned in her. He couldn’t stop He only wanted more. He missed her very much, despite it being only two days.
- himself.
- Joycelyn suddenly felt his hands start to roam, startling her. She quickly grabbed his wrist and turned her head to glance at the side.
- O start
- She noticed that the partition between the front and back seats had somehow lowered.
- “How about we go home for a date instead?” Ellison whispered against her neck, his breath hot and coaxing. Joycelyn felt weightless, as if she were floating on cotton. She wanted to refuse. But her words lacked conviction.
- In the end, both of them couldn’t help but laugh.
- Just as Ellison instructed the driver to turn around and head home, his phone rang at the worst possible moment.
- At first, Ellison didn’t plan on answering. He picked up the phone, ready to hang up. But before he could, Joycelyn slid her finger over the screen to accept the call. She said, “It’s your grandmother.”
- Still immersed in the lingering emotions from before, Ellison answered with evident impatience, “Grandma, what is it now?”
- “Tanya just called home.” His grandmother’s voice came through, sounding helpless. “They hit someone in front of the hospital. Her mother is on her way there now, but the girls seem terrified. Can you go check on them?”
- Ellison could hear the exasperation in her tone.
- Without a second thought, he ended the call and immediately powered off his phone, tossing it aside. He didn’t even bother responding.
