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

    "Fine, if you want, next time I'll invite you to come along," July said with a smile, but Primrose maintained her expression and didn't respond with much enthusiasm."That's okay; your dad is busy at the company, so he can't come home for dinner with us. Let's just eat," July added.The three of them sat down at the dining table, and Primrose glanced over; all the dishes were her favorites. However, at the moment, she didn't have much interest in enjoying the delicious food because there were still a few things bothering her.Joel naturally didn't dare to start a conversation with Primrose, fearing that she would get annoyed, and July only spoke occasionally, asking about Primrose's current life at Nancy's home. Primrose answered truthfully, saying that she felt comfortable and happy there and had no plans to move out for now.Listening to this, Joel's eyes became somewhat dimmer, and his face showed a hint of loss, looking worse than before. Primrose pretended not to notice and conti

    The gentle and melodious tone of Joel's deep voice melted Primrose's heart for a moment. Joel had always been the kind of person with a cold and distant demeanor, but his voice was raspy and seductive, and every time he spoke sweet words of flattery, Primrose quickly found herself enchanted, her heart pounding wildly.This time was no different. Joel's voice made Primrose's heart flutter, and her thoughts wandered to the romantic clouds on the horizon. She didn't know how to react to all of this.Everything happened so quickly; misunderstandings arose and were resolved, making her feel like everything was just a dream. A beautiful and sweet dream"Primrose, it's all my fault. I wasn't cautious and decisive enough, which led to Auntie's persistent interference and created these misunderstandings.""Now that everything is clear, can't we avoid divorce? Primrose, I truly haven't cheated, nor have I ever entertained such thoughts."Joel spoke sincerely, and every time divorce was mentione

    After Primrose returned with a face that was both shy and gentle, she couldn't escape the interrogation of her best friend, Nancy."Primrose, tell me, how did that bad guy deceive you and make you come back with this expression?" Nancy asked. As she looked at Primrose and Joel, she couldn't believe her eyes and raised her eyebrows in surprise. Primrose used to maintain an icy and distant attitude towards Joel, so how could she disappear for two hours and come back looking so excited, as if she were immersed in love?"He didn't deceive me; we misunderstood Joel and blamed him wrongly," Primrose replied with a dreamy look and a slight blush. She placed her handbag on the bed and then sat down, clearing her throat, before recounting the dramatic and emotional story to Nancy.In the beginning, Nancy looked down on Primrose and thought she had been deceived by Joel's sweet and deceitful words. However, by the end, even Nancy was left astonished."No way? Why is everything so complicated? S

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.

    Time 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

    Since 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.

    When 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.

    Joel 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

    Upon 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

    In the days after returning to work, Primrose had a lot of free time and planned the upcoming trip with Nancy for the two of them and their boyfriends. Although it had been mentioned before, and furthermore, Brian and Joel had never had an official meeting, Primrose and Nancy were both eager to push for this trip.Regarding the planning, since Primrose was currently the freest person in the company, she did most of the work. This ranged from choosing suitable places to visit to selecting a hotel. Concerning Primrose's choices, the others had no objections, so on a beautiful weekend morning, all four of them set off to Country A together.Joel carried luggage for both Primrose and quietly followed behind, while Primrose cheerfully carried her handbag ahead. She excitedly held Nancy's hand, who was being helped with her suitcase by Brian, strolling and enjoying the city's scenery.The two men glanced at each other and chuckled softly, suddenly feeling camaraderie.After arriving at the

    When Primrose woke up for the second time, it was already quite late. She blinked a few times to fully wake up, then looked around the room. Perhaps by this time, Joel was in the kitchen cooking, so she also got up leisurely, folded the blanket, and went to the bathroom to brush her teeth. After that, Primrose put on her pajamas and went downstairs to find Joel yawning and tousling her slightly messy hair."Awake now, sweetie? Did you sleep well?"Since he had heard the faint footsteps from the stairs, Joel knew that Primrose was awake. He took off his apron and hung them neatly, then approached to help Primrose adjust her slightly messy hair before pulling out a chair for her to sit at the dining table."Are you ready for breakfast? I'll get it for you."Primrose was still not fully awake from her dream, her gaze flickering lazily. Water droplets from washing her face still glistened on her fair complexion, but Joel carefully wiped them away before bringing her breakfast.As requeste

    Indeed, the next day, Primrose's condition had improved significantly, and her temperature had returned to normal. When she woke up, she mentioned to Joel that she wanted to go to the company, but it was evident that Joel didn't agree.Despite that, Primrose was still feeling weak, so she decided to rest for another day to fully recover. Furthermore, the company was under Joel's ownership now, so she didn't need to exert herself unnecessarily.Finally, Primrose lay on the bed, casting a frustrated and resigned glance at Joel, leaving him feeling somewhat bewildered about how to respond. After a momentary internal struggle, Joel gently stroked her soft hair, now lightly scented with the fragrance of lavender."Alright, fine. I'm concerned about you, so I don't want you to go to the company and tire yourself out. It's only seven in the morning, get some more sleep."Since her request had been denied, Primrose didn't want to show a favorable expression towards Joel, so she turned her hea
