One-night stand: Sweetie, you'll be mine Chapter 60: Sweet as you
After going to a nearby restaurant with Joel, Primrose remained cautious as ever, glancing around carefully with a mixture of nervousness and anxiety. Her fidgety demeanor and worried expression made Joel feel like their relationship was akin to a secret affair. This peculiar feeling of excitement couldn't be contained, causing Joel to burst into laughter as he playfully pushed a plate of sliced beef toward Primrose."Don't worry, your husband isn't nearby. He's at the company working and can't come looking for you," he teased.Primrose took a bite of the beef, gave Joel a stern look, and puffed her cheeks. This man truly had no sense of decorum."Do you want to be my secretary? Even if you don't want to be the manager, you should still be my secretary so that I can see you every day," he said with a smirk."And furthermore, are you comfortable having another woman as my secretary? Aren't you worried she might charm me or concerned about our marriage?"The more Joel spoke, the more he

In the following days, Joel was like a constant shadow following Primrose, seemingly wanting to be by her side as much as possible. Every morning, he would stand waiting for Primrose outside Nancy's house, attentively preparing breakfast, and then he would accompany Primrose to work.At the company, he would often find excuses related to work matters to call Primrose into his office, propping his chin up and gazing at her while appearing to concentrate on his tasks.Just like now, Joel directly pulled Primrose to sit on his lap while he read the financial reports of the company. His warm breath gently brushed against Primrose's heated ear, and the intense warmth emanating from Joel's proximity made her blush."Can you behave a bit? Normal people don't work like this, you know?"Primrose struggled to stand up, but Joel caught her hand, gently laughing."My self-control isn't that great; you're better off staying seated. Otherwise, I don't know what I might do to you."After speaking, J

In the days following, Primrose's life as a leisurely and cheerful secretary continued. Every break was filled with enthusiastic conversations with her colleagues. Perhaps due to the absence of work-related stress, Primrose's state of mind was very positive, and her face often broke into a beautiful smile. She was so radiant that Nancy would occasionally tease her."Look at this; someone who's clearly immersed in love doesn't look ordinary. Now your face is full of words of happiness and contentment in love.""Has Joel taken care of you so well that you have no intention of returning? Come back to him, and I'll help you pack, haha. Don't worry about packing"After learning the truth, Nancy naturally didn't hold any resentment towards Joel anymore. She was a rational person, so from time to time, she kindly advised Joel to encourage Primrose to return home quickly. After all, misunderstandings had been cleared up, and there was no longer a third person involved in their marriage. Retur

In front of Nancy, Joel still presented himself as a refined and courteous man. But upon returning home and helping Primrose arrange her belongings in the main bedroom, he quickly approached her on the sofa in the living room and embraced her. "Primrose, I've put your things in the main bedroom. Can we share the same room?" Before Primrose moved out, they used to have separate rooms, and this arrangement didn't sit well with Joel. Now, taking advantage of Primrose's inattentiveness, he had subtly changed things to be closer to her. "Sure, but don't hold me too tight. I've told you before, loosen up a bit, and I'll suffocate." Primrose playfully patted Joel's shoulder, and every time he embraced her, he held her tightly and carefully as if fearing she would disappear any second. This mixture of haste and gentleness made Primrose both amused and frustrated. "Alright then, promise me you won't leave anymore. If anything comes up, let's sit down calmly and solve it together; don't mak

The next day, Primrose woke up in Joel's embrace. As soon as she opened her eyes, she met his gentle gaze, lost in admiration as he looked at her. Thinking about the events of the previous day, Primrose quickly regained her composure and pushed Joel aside with irritation."Why are you staring at me like that? Don't scare me early in the morning," she said with a hint of annoyance.Primrose got up and stretched, feeling a sudden twinge in her waist. She gently massaged her waist while casting a harsh look at Joel, who remained unfazed by her anger. With a tender touch, he helped her soothe her discomfort, apologizing."Are you still hurting? It's my fault, sweetie. I'm sorry."Joel's sincere and comfortable attitude disarmed Primrose's anger, and she could only roll her eyes at him, her icy demeanor unchanged. She lightly snorted, her attitude toward Joel still chilly."No need to care about it. I'm not that fragile."Joel deliberately misunderstood Primrose's intentions and playfully b

Seeing Primrose suddenly dumbfounded, Joel thought she was uncomfortable, so he gently touched Primrose's forehead. "Sweetie, are you upset? Why are you so dumbfounded?" Primrose quickly exited the memory, pretending to have nothing but shook her head, casually pointing forward. "Nothing. Since the cakes over there are so delicious, I want to taste them." Primrose's reasoning was very superficial, but Joel took it for granted, ended the conversation with the people around, and went with Primrose to the dessert table. This place has a wide variety of delicately decorated pastries and a few beautifully colored drinks, arranged both cleverly and luxuriously. Joel took a plate, chose some of the usual Primrose cakes, and gave it to her. "Next time you want to eat, just say, If you're shy, I can help you get it. Don't stare stupidly like that." Joel said it jokingly, making Primrose's ears red. She mechanically ate a piece of light pink cake, which is a moderately sweet strawberry ma

Joel's back provided Primrose with a sense of tranquility and stability. His every step was careful and steady. There were a few guests who hadn't left yet, looking toward the two of them. Primrose blushed and buried her head in Joel's shoulder as if wanting to escape from reality.However, they didn't discuss anything, just silently smiling, making Primrose even more embarrassed. "It's okay; they will just think that our affection is genuine," Joel suddenly said, his tone both gentle and affectionate. Every time he was with Primrose, he consciously lowered his tone to make his voice less cold, which made Primrose more comfortable when listening.When they reached the garage, Joel carefully helped Primrose out of the car and settled her into the passenger seat. He fastened her seatbelt and then took the driver's seat. They drove home steadily, and upon reaching home, Joel quickly helped Primrose stand up, then leaned down to carry her back to the room.Primrose was suddenly lifted off

After Joel returned, he asked Laila to help him and Primrose prepare dinner, so she could go back home to her family. Eventually, the spacious house was left with just him and Primrose. He comfortably embraced Primrose and brought her to the kitchen for dinner. After they finished eating, he skillfully carried her to the sofa to watch an episode of her favorite TV show.Several gentle days passed by like this until Primrose's foot fully recovered, allowing her to move around normally. At this point, she had been home for a while and was starting to feel bored. Joel didn't object anymore, and they returned to their normal routine, with him picking up Primrose for work each day.After their previous argument, Primrose's family was worried about their relationship, so they kept asking about their situation. Worried about her parents' concerns, Primrose and Joel arranged an evening to have dinner at her house, spending more time with her family. And so, tonight, after a long day of work, J

In 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

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
