On the first call, Primrose didn't answer the phone. Feeling more and more insecure, Joel hastily dialed a second time. Fortunately, this time, Primrose answered the phone."Primrose, where are you? I came back from a business trip and bought you a surprise gift with some cake. Do you want to go back and see the gift too?"Joel breathed a sigh of relief, softening his voice. Primrose on the other end of the line was silent for a moment, then replied coldly."I don't think it's necessary. Also, let's get a divorce; you and Auntie know all about it. I also saw you and Auntie on the street corner today."Primrose didn't elaborate, but Joel had vaguely guessed what she had seen. Joel's heart tightened with confusion; he felt so anxious for the first time that he didn't know where to start."Primrose, trust me. Where are you now? I can come to you to explain."Joel's voice was very urgent, mixed with panic; his face also gradually paled, but Primrose did not pay too much attention to them.
Joel, indeed, had the gift of persuasive speech, as after expressing himself, he gave Primrose time to carefully consider everything. That night, he truly didn't call Primrose again. Primrose thought she wouldn't be able to sleep that night due to lingering emotions, but after having a deep talk with Nancy and drinking a warm glass of milk that Nancy prepared for her, she had a restful sleep. The next morning, Primrose woke up at the same time as Nancy did, and they had breakfast together before going to work as usual."Do you really not need to take a day off to unwind?" Nancy asked Primrose repeatedly on the way to the company. At first, she earnestly advised Primrose to take a day off to rest properly, suggesting that she could go to a cafe or do some shopping after waking up to ease her mental stress. For someone going through heartbreak, it's challenging to immediately refresh one's spirit and focus on work."I'm okay, really. Don't worry. When I'm at home with nothing to do, I t
Primrose had originally planned to start her trip next week, but when she finished work and saw Joel waiting patiently and tenderly at the company's entrance, she changed her mind. She decided to immediately book a flight and go to Country Y tomorrow, so she wouldn't have to worry about Joel bothering her anymore."Hey, doesn't your ex-husband need to go to work? I've seen him at least three times today," Nancy couldn't help but lightly tease Primrose after she refused Joel's advances and left.Regardless of her knowledge and understanding of CEOs of large companies, they are usually busy with work and rarely have time for themselves. So why did Joel suddenly have so much free time?"I don't know, and I don't care. Maybe he's trying to appear affectionate to gain my sympathy.""Regarding Joel not wanting to sign the divorce papers, maybe it's because he's concerned about his parents. They seem to really like me, so they'll be angry if Joel betrays me and has an affair with someone els
Looking into Primrose's bewildered and curious eyes, the man with smoky gray hair became angry."Primrose, you don't remember who I am, do you?" His voice was low and icy as he spoke.Primrose's smile stiffened, and she awkwardly turned her head away to avoid his gaze. She glanced at Nancy, seeking help, but Nancy just shook her head and shrugged, clearly not remembering him either.It was evident that even Nancy couldn't recall who he was."Primrose, alright, it seems like you've had quite a few boyfriends over the years. Let me reintroduce myself. I'm Andrew, your ex-boyfriend."The man almost gritted his teeth while uttering each word, and his tone turned bitterly cold, making Primrose shiver slightly. Nevertheless, she mustered a faint smile."I remember now. I'm sorry, my memory isn't great."Andrew was Primrose's ex-boyfriend from a few years ago. At that time, he appeared more composed and mature than he is now. When they were together, he was the CEO of a highly renowned jewel
The next day, both Nancy and Primrose were extremely excited about their trip to Country Y. They woke up early to do their makeup and put on beautiful dresses. Today, Primrose chose a simple black off-shoulder dress that accentuated her slender neck and alluring shoulders. She also added a pair of luxury-brand sunglasses to look even cooler. Primrose was very satisfied with her current appearance.Nancy, on the other hand, wore a white, elegant spaghetti-strap dress that made her fair skin stand out. They booked a car to the airport early in the morning, and as they entered, almost every eye turned towards them due to their captivating looks. Primrose and Nancy enjoyed this attention, held their heads high, and moved forward, pulling their suitcases.Some people approached them, wanting to help carry their luggage, but they politely declined, feeling uncomfortable with the suggestive glances from those men, as if they were making some implied invitation for a one-night stand. However,
As for Primrose, after the not-so-pleasant phone call, she quickly regained her spirits to continue enjoying the long day of leisure. She and Nancy had lunch at a nearby five-star restaurant and then went shopping at a newly opened shopping center nearby.Shopping was always a favorite pastime for women, at least for Primrose and Nancy, who enjoyed doing it whenever they had free time. Moreover, each country had different fashion styles, and luxury brands offered a diverse range of clothing and jewelry options to choose from. Therefore, visiting shopping centers was a must for both Nancy and Primrose whenever they visited a different country or city.When they returned to the hotel with their shopping bags, they were in a cheerful and excited mood. Primrose plopped down on the large bed as soon as they got back, while Nancy happily snapped a selfie and sent a voice chat to her boyfriend."Darling, I just went shopping with Primrose. Have you had lunch yet?""Remember to eat on time an
When Andrew arrived, Nancy and Primrose had just left the bathroom, both dressed in beautiful outfits and ready to make an appearance. At this moment, they had chosen simple t-shirts and shorts that accentuated their slender figures and attractively long legs."Primrose, Nancy, over here," Andrew called out, following the position Primrose had hinted at before entering the bathroom. He had successfully found the two-seater couch they had previously rented and had also added another adjacent one. Currently, he was lying comfortably on the couch, casually resting his hand, exuding a lazy yet incredibly charming demeanor."Are you two tired after the beach? Would you like to eat something? I noticed there's a famous barbecue restaurant nearby, offering many local specialties," Andrew suggested, naturally, and of course, both Primrose and Nancy did not refuse, as they had the same intention. So, the three of them headed to the barbecue restaurant and ordered some of their usual grilled di
According to the plan, Primrose and Nancy were supposed to stay in country Y for a few more days, but ultimately, this plan couldn't be carried out. It seemed like Joel had said something, as Primrose's mother, July, had been calling her frequently to inquire about her current situation, making Primrose extremely tired. On that evening, just after returning from the beach with Andrew and while Primrose was finishing removing her makeup, the phone rang right on time. It was her mother, July, calling. With Nancy eagerly waiting to hear the conversation, Primrose pressed her temple and answered the call. "Primrose, what are you doing? Are you happy?" July spoke gently, her tone as slow and familiar as ever. However, Primrose couldn't help but be cautious because normally her mother never cared about where she went or what she did, and she rarely called to inquire about her current schedule. But there was only one reason for this sudden change – Joel had asked for her help. Primrose sig
