Chapter: Chapter 85: Happy endingIn the familiar tone and warmth that radiated from Joel's hands, Primrose quietly watched the video being played on the large screen. It was a video of her and Joel's love story, starting from the day they got married after their crazy first encounter.Primrose didn't know how Joel had compiled and edited them into this video, but everything felt incredibly genuine. From their initial excitement and awkwardness on their wedding day to the gentle kiss they shared, it all felt real.The video shifted as the two of them moved in together. Primrose saw herself and Joel sitting at the same dinner table; there was no communication between them, not even a glance exchanged. It was a bit amusing.Throughout, Joel kept his head tilted, watching Primrose closely and observing every expression on her face. He witnessed Primrose's emotions as she looked back on their past. By this point, the video continued playing, showcasing the gradual bonding between Joel and Primrose. Amid the soothing piano

Chapter: Chapter 84: The secret I've been keeping for youTime passed calmly in the afternoon; at least while working, Joel didn't play any mischievous tricks or surprise Primrose with sudden kisses. She was comfortable and didn't need to be cautious anymore. She spent the afternoon leisurely, wearing AirPods and watching TV shows, and then returned home with Joel.Initially, Primrose had some difficulty adjusting to this unusually comfortable life, but it quickly became a habit. She was entirely satisfied with her current job and Joel's attentive care for her.After returning from the company, instead of cooking as usual, Joel ruffled Primrose's hair and mentioned that they would dine out tonight. Occasionally, Joel would book a table at some famous restaurant for dinner, so Primrose didn't question it. She obediently went upstairs to freshen up and change.When she emerged in an intricately designed white dress, Primrose slowly smoothed her hair and smiled sweetly at Joel."How do I look? Do I resemble the most beautiful woman in the world

Chapter: Chapter 83: PastaSince boarding the plane, Primrose has remained cautious of Joel as usual, maintaining an extremely cold and distant attitude and not uttering a word to him. Joel had grown accustomed to the silence and indifference, so he didn't dare disturb her, sitting up straight with his back against the seat.After a while, Primrose began to feel drowsy and quickly leaned back against the airplane seat, falling asleep. Joel made sure to carefully place a thin blanket over her to keep her warm before closing his eyes to rest as well. Waking up early had left their bodies tired and sleepy.A few hours later, as Joel drifted into sleep, he felt a slight weight on his shoulder and a sweet fragrance wafting around his nose. He turned his head to look, and his gaze became even more tender as he saw that Primrose had rested her head on his shoulder and was sound asleep.Her smooth white face had a faint rosy hue, her nose gently rising and falling with each breath, and her eyes were closed beautifully.

Chapter: Chapter 82: Girls always want to feel cherishedWhen Primrose spotted Nancy ahead, she let out a relieved breath, enthusiastically skipping over to grab Nancy's hand. Nancy was somewhat surprised by Primrose's overly excited reaction, staring at her for a moment to search for any unusual expressions. Unable to resist, she asked,"Why are you suddenly so happy to see me? It's quite rare."Hearing this somewhat teasing remark that caught her off guard, Primrose pretended not to understand and tugged Nancy along ahead. Of course, she couldn't share the recent events with Nancy; otherwise, Nancy would offer advice that wasn't really suitable for their age and would only make Primrose more embarrassed when facing Joel.The four of them arrived at the restaurant together, falling into the habit of couples sitting side by side. Primrose was still sulking about the earlier incident with Joel, so when he pulled out a chair for her, she merely let out a cold huff before sitting down slowly, intentionally avoiding looking at Joel even once.

Chapter: Chapter 81: Be honest for a momentJoel walked quietly, and Primrose followed, leaning her head against Joel's broad shoulder. Neither of them spoke, but both could vaguely sense the gentle heartbeat of the other.A sweet, elusive sensation enveloped the space, making the sun-drenched journey feel warmer and gentler.By the time Joel carried Primrose back to the hotel, she still remained in a dreamy state, not fully escaping that unfamiliar emotion. Joel carefully carried Primrose into the bathroom and helped her wash her feet. The cool water slowly awakened Primrose as it trickled down. She lifted her head to look at Joel, their gazes meeting tenderly, filled with unexplainable emotions."Take a shower, sweetie. I'll wait for you."Joel lightly kissed Primrose's forehead and left. She mechanically picked up her clothes and entered the bathroom. The warm water enveloped her, dissipating the haziness within her, yet Primrose remained absentminded, thinking about the warm words Joel had spoken earlier.The sincerity of h

Chapter: Chapter 80: You are my precious treasureUpon returning to the hotel, the first thing Primrose did was slump onto the large bed, sighing continuously."If I had known that going out would make me this tired, I wouldn't have invited everyone for a cruise."After a few hours on the cruise ship and a lunch break earlier, Primrose's energy had been depleted, leaving her too tired to even sit up. Joel smiled, gently using a makeup remover pad to clean Primrose's face and remove her makeup carefully, then affectionately wiping her nose with a tissue."Alright, stop complaining. Change your clothes and take a nap. We'll go for a beach walk this afternoon.""If you're really exhausted, I don't mind helping you change clothes."Joel raised an eyebrow and winked mischievously, successfully making Primrose slightly flustered as she sat up, rushing to the bathroom with her clothes. She quickly changed into a comfortable set of pajamas and once again lay down on the bed, feeling the softness of the mattress and blankets."Can I sleep at

The Billionaire's Flash Marriage: Baby, I'm Sorry
After her boyfriend had an affair with her sister, Lani was deeply hurt and, at the advice of her best friend, decided to marry a strange guy as revenge.
She married Kane, an ordinary office worker with a handsome appearance who took care of cooking and cleaning at home while she pursued her acting career. Life with Kane was relatively peaceful, and they grew close and sweet, like a genuine couple.
However, one day, Lani discovered Kane's true identity as the wealthiest billionaire in the city.
Unable to accept this deception, Lani leaves without a word, accepting a role as the lead actress in a movie and moving to another city, cutting off all contact with Kane.
At this point, upon realizing Lani's disappearance, Kane felt deep regret and sadness. He relentlessly searched for Lani to explain everything.
When he coincidentally ran into Lani on the street, Kane slowly followed her back to the hotel, holding her hand and crying, begging Lani for forgiveness, even kneeling to express his remorse.
"Baby, I'm so sorry. You can hit me or scold me if you want, but please don't leave me."
Everything happened unexpectedly and was chaotic, so what decision will Lani make?

Chapter: Chapter 179: We'll all be happy in the endAurora drove Lani back home. On the way, she received a call from Ryan. His voice was urgent as he explained that he had forgotten an important document at home and needed it for a meeting at the company. He asked if Aurora could conveniently swing by his place, pick up the document, and bring it to the office. Ryan's urgent tone worried Aurora, but she reassured him. "Don't worry. Just wait for me a moment. I'll drive to your place right away." Although aware of what was happening, Lani still pretended to be surprised. She looked at Aurora's worried face and asked, "What's wrong? Does Ryan have something urgent at the company?" Aurora nodded, explaining briefly, "Ryan forgot an important document at home. I'll take you home first. Then I'll drive to Ryan's place to bring him the document." Lani nodded, comforting Aurora. "It's okay. Stay calm. Ryan's work is more important. You drive to his place first." Aurora nodded. Along the way, Lani would occasionally glance at Aurora. He

Chapter: Chapter 178: But do I really need to change out of this dress?The next day,Lani went shopping with Aurora. Her belly had grown, causing her previous clothes, especially the fitted dresses that accentuated her curves, to no longer fit comfortably. So, she strolled through the mall with Aurora to buy some looser-fitting dresses to wear at home."Hey, do you think I need to buy clothes for my dear daughter in advance?" Lani gestured towards the store across the street. "There's a children's clothing store over there that has beautiful clothes. I want to buy some for my daughter."Aurora nodded. "Sure, let's go. I also want to buy a few dresses for my goddaughter."Lani and Aurora enjoyed their shopping spree, picking out quite a few outfits for the newborn baby girl. It will ship to Lani's house.Lani looked excitedly at the staff who was wrapping the tiny clothes in a delicate box."They're so beautiful. I'm sure my daughter will love them."Rubbing her belly, Lani smiled as if she were talking to the baby. "My little Ice Cream, do you like these

Chapter: Chapter 177: We'll stand by to calm him downWhen it came to naming their child, Kane felt helpless with Lani. She always insisted she was carrying a daughter, citing her intuition as always correct.So from time to time, Lani would come up with a few names for her daughter and then ask Kane what he thought of them.It wasn't the first time Kane looked helplessly at Lani."How can you be so sure you're having a girl?" he asked.Lani mysteriously smiled. "That's a mother's intuition.""But you didn't answer me, did you? How do you feel about the name Ice Cream? Or maybe we should name our daughter Strawberry?"Lani wanted to give her child this name for a simple reason. She loved ice cream, especially strawberry ice cream. Yet during the early months of pregnancy, Kane didn't allow her to eat ice cream, so she wanted to name her child Ice Cream as an expression of her fondness.Lani seemed to like this name, giggling as she rubbed her belly. She was pregnant three months along. It had grown a little larger, and she rubbed it exci

Chapter: Chapter 176: I've noticed Ryan acting strangelyAfter their conversation, Kane urged Lani to have breakfast. He prepared a table full of diverse dishes for her, including chicken congee, salad, egg sandwiches, and milk. Lani looked at the spread in amazement."I won't be able to eat all of this. It's too much," Lani remarked.Kane gently stroked her head."It's okay. Eat as much as you want. You haven't been eating much lately due to morning sickness, so I cooked dishes to help you eat more."The three of them sat down for breakfast. And Kane kept adding more food to Lani's plate."Have another piece of sausage. It's delicious.""The salad is also tasty, with a light and refreshing flavor. Can you eat a bit more?""Do you want some more congee? I'll get you a little more. The chicken is cooked so tenderly; it tastes amazing."Lani ate until she was comfortably full, rubbing her belly."It's all because of you. I'm so full I can't get up anymore," Lani joked.Kane chuckled, lifting Lani carefully and leading her to the living room.

Chapter: Chapter 175: I've always used money to express my feelingsLani thought that compared to her, Kane was calmer and more composed about her pregnancy. He acted cautiously, protecting and caring for her well, always rational and reliable. But it seemed that Lani was somewhat misunderstanding. Compared to her, Kane sometimes seemed more childish.For example, at present.After dinner, they sat on the sofa and watched a movie. Roger called. He recounted the busy past few months abroad working on a successful collaborative project and was now back in town.Kane turned on the speaker. So Lani could hear Roger's excited voice."Haven't seen you in a few months, how about going out for drinks? Me, Leo, and Ryan will be there. Come here for some fun."Kane made a noise of surprise, asking, "Huh? What? Are you congratulating me?""You know I'm about to become a father? How could you know that?""Yeah, that's right. Lani's been pregnant for two months now."Not only was Roger shocked on the other end of the line, but Lani was also surprised. She rubbed h

Chapter: Chapter 174: Are you my best friend?The days of rest for Lani have arrived. Compared to her, Kane seems even more tense.Lani sleeps until noon, waking up in Kane's embrace. Kane will smile at her, gently rubbing her belly."Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere? Are you tired?" he would ask.Lani has explained many times.She's not even two months pregnant yet.And her belly is still flat as usual. But Kane enjoys touching Lani's belly. He claims he can feel the baby growing inside her when he touches it.Lani is sure this is just Kane's imagination, but she doesn't have the heart to disillusion him and make him sad.She shakes her head and reassures him that she's fine.Kane helps her sit up, carefully takes her hand, and leads her off the bed, then guides her into the bathroom to brush her teeth.Kane hands her a cup of warm water, helping her get toothpaste and massaging her scalp."I'll go downstairs to make breakfast for you. Come down when you're brushing," Kane says.Lani nods drowsily.As she descends the stairs,

Chapter: Chapter 25: Apologize for what?Annie tilted her head, narrowing her eyes at the person who had just raised their voice. It was one of the individuals who had earlier stood beside the girl in the white dress, accusing her. They were all in it together.A group of malicious people intent on framing her.Annie yanked her hand free from the girl’s grasp, noticing that her wrist had reddened from being held too tightly. She looked at the girl, her voice still soft and composed.“What do you mean? What exactly did I steal?”“Do you have any proof?”Unprepared for Annie’s calm rebuttal, the girl momentarily froze. But within seconds, she puffed out her chest, raising her chin defiantly as she countered.“My word is proof enough. Now, get upstairs this instant!”“Apologize to my friend for your disgusting behavior earlier!”The woman persisted in accusing Annie, her voice growing louder and more commanding, drawing an increasing number of onlookers. Annie knew full well that this girl was deliberately trying to frame her,

Chapter: Chapter 24: I'm already marriedWhen work ended, Denis followed Annie to a nearby coffee shop and chose a table by the window. He felt a spark of joy at having some time alone with her, but he didn't expect her first words to strike him like a thunderbolt, freezing his expression in place."Denis, I'm already married. My husband and I love each other deeply and live together in perfect harmony," she began, her voice calm but unwavering."I'm not the right person for you to pursue right now."Denis's smile faltered, and an awkward stiffness took its place. He stared at Annie, utterly baffled by what he had just heard."What are you talking about? Married? When did you get married?"His eyes widened, his voice tinged with confusion and disbelief. From the moment he had met Annie, she had always seemed unattached, hadn't she?"You don't need to make such an excuse just to brush me off. If you don't like me, say it outright, Annie," he said, his tone tinged with both frustration and resignation."I won't cling to you or

Chapter: Chapter 23: PreyAfter rushing outside, Annie instinctively let out a sigh of relief. The tightness in her chest from earlier made her acutely aware of how fast her heart was racing now.She could vaguely guess that Finn might be teasing her, but she didn't dare to be entirely sure. After all, Finn's usual demeanor was cold and aloof-not the type to enjoy playful banter like that....Later that night, Annie lay lazily on the sofa, watching TV. She stretched her legs languidly while nibbling on the fruit Keelin had prepared for her. Though it was already late, sleep evaded her. The show she was watching grew increasingly engaging, and every now and then, a soft, amused giggle escaped her lips.Just as she stretched with a yawn and prepared to stand, the faint sound of footsteps reached her ears from the staircase above. She looked up to see Finn descending slowly.Almost unconsciously, she stepped closer to help him. Finn, for his part, accepted her support with ease, leaning slightly against her with

Chapter: Chapter 22: You're a cowardThe rekindling of Annie and Finn's relationship was a wonderful development. However, Finn's newfound closeness at times made Annie a bit withdrawn and hesitant. Having never been in a romantic relationship, let alone being physically close to a man, Annie struggled to adapt to Finn's sudden shift from being distant to gentle.For instance, this afternoon, Annie and Finn leisurely sat together on a swing, comfortably reclining on a soft cushion behind them. Annie lazily closed her eyes, savoring the sensation of each breeze caressing her ears and hair, as if blowing away the burdens of everyday life.They sat there well into the late afternoon, with the chilly autumn breeze bringing a shiver into the air. Annie wore a thin, long-sleeved dress, so her exposed legs felt a slight tremor in the cool air. She thought about getting up to fetch an additional blanket, and it seemed that Finn noticed her intention as he gracefully turned and gently urged her to remain seated.Subsequently, Fin

Chapter: Chapter 21: Do you hate me or something?Annie and Taylor left the bubble tea shop, their excitement carrying over as they continued their shopping spree. Taylor seemed thrilled about spending money, eagerly buying whatever caught their eye to the point that when they left, most of the shopping bags in the car's trunk belonged to Taylor.After another tiring round of shopping, they both decided to head to a highly-rated nearby barbecue restaurant, enjoying a delightful dinner together. It appeared that this meeting had lightened Annie's mood considerably, as her smile remained a constant fixture.After arriving home, Annie changed into her cozy slippers, put away her shopping bags, cleaned up, and then happily made her way to the kitchen.She had not anticipated running into Finn at this moment, so she was a bit taken aback by his busy figure. Of course, Finn also noticed Annie, but he was so engrossed in his work that he didn't pay her any mind, continuing to play the role of a blind person carefully heating water to brew c

Chapter: Chapter 20: She's Not SofiaAs for Annie, after reuniting with Taylor, both of them happily went shopping at the city's largest mall. Taylor was a shopping enthusiast, so she swiftly accumulated several shopping bags from various high-end brands, with Taylor continuously pulling Annie into different stores.Annie maintained her frugal spending habits, only purchasing a few reasonably priced outfits from budget-friendly brands and buying a few warm clothing for her mother. Taylor also bought Annie some items from famous brands and a Dream necklace. Annie was embarrassed to accept the necklace after seeing its price tag."Don't be shy with me, Annie, we're close friends. Besides, you'll look beautiful wearing this necklace," Taylor generously swiped her card, satisfied with the silver necklace featuring a sparkling swan pendant around Annie's neck. The delicate chain accentuated Annie's slender neck and alluring collarbones, and the swan was adorned with numerous precious stones, making it bright and eye-catching.
