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
The next day, Primrose woke up in Joel's embrace, but this time she wasn't as shy as before. She lazily yawned and blinked, looking around and reaching up to pinch Joel's face."What time is it? Why didn't you wake me up?" she asked.Joel let Primrose pinch his face and replied in a soft and slightly hoarse voice, just having woken up himself."It's still early. You can sleep a little longer. Are you hungry? I'll go down and make breakfast for you."Primrose nodded and let go of Joel, rolling to the edge of the bed and closing her eyes to continue sleeping. Joel was concerned about Primrose's tiredness, so he didn't tease her and quietly got up, careful not to disturb her. He went to the kitchen, put on an apron, and skillfully started preparing breakfast, making the whole process look elegant and smooth.Looking at the delicious and nutritious breakfast in front of him, Joel couldn't help but think that since he married Primrose, her cooking skills had improved significantly. She had
Joel walked away in annoyance, not looking back. He slammed the door with force, creating a loud echo that made Primrose furrow her brows. Was her reaction not what Joel had expected, so he was angry now? But where was the problem? Why did Joel's face shift from frustration to anger just now? Primrose's ability to interpret others' intentions had always been murky, so she quickly brushed off this matter and continued with her dinner. After finishing the meal, she cleaned up the table and put the dishes in the dishwasher. As per her routine, she lies on the sofa to watch her favorite TV show. Joel had prepared some fruits that Primrose liked, so she just picked up a plate of fruits and leisurely enjoyed them while watching TV. As for Joel, his mood remained sour throughout the meal, and his expression grew colder, resembling an icy abyss. His friends around him exchanged confused glances, wondering who might have upset Joel before he arrived here. "Joel, you seem to be in a bad mood
The next morning, Joel woke up with a slight headache and a queasy feeling in his body. His eyebrows furrowed slightly as he quietly opened his eyes and looked around, spotting Primrose sleeping peacefully beside him.Her curled eyelashes lay gently over her sparkling eyes, her lips were slightly pursed at the moment, and a few strands of disheveled hair adorned her smooth face. Her current appearance was both innocent and harmless, causing Joel's heart to melt uncontrollably.He slowly recalled the events of the previous day, when he was drunk and had spoken a lot of meaningless words to Primrose. He suddenly felt embarrassed and wished he could erase those memories from Primrose's mind. After all, he usually presented himself as a mature and somewhat serious person, but after getting drunk, he had spoken childishly and somewhat coquettishly, revealing a side of him that he usually hid.He wondered what Primrose would think and if she found him too childish.Joel helped Primrose fix h
After everyone finished eating, Nancy invited Primrose to go to the convenience store to buy coffee, taking the opportunity to discuss the recent gossip."How long do you plan to keep it a secret? You're legally married, not having an affair. Why can't you be open about it?"Nancy was genuinely curious about Primrose's decision. Even though everyone in their company was friendly and easy-going, and they knew Primrose's situation would have no ill intent, at most they only marveled at Primrose's luck in marrying a good husband.Upon hearing this, Primrose paused for a moment, contemplating something, then replied while placing the coffee cup on the counter for payment."We'll wait until the feelings between me and Joel are more stable. Until now, we still don't seem like a married couple. I feel there's still some distance."Nancy sighed. What distance was she talking about? She only saw Primrose keeping her distance from Joel, but she had never seen Joel reject Primrose or maintain a
Primrose entered the house, silently reflecting on Nancy's advice earlier, slightly squinting her eyes as she pondered and feeling it to be quite sensible. After all, Joel always took the initiative and made their relationship sweeter. She should also take some steps to surprise him.So, with determination in her heart, Primrose slowly changed her shoes and walked into the living room, thinking about how Joel was sitting on the sofa waiting for her to return."Sweetie, you're back. Did you enjoy your day at the company?"Seeing Primrose approaching, Joel naturally struck up a conversation, leaning back on the sofa and speaking. Primrose's gaze shifted subtly, and she smiled as she walked up to Joel's side, leaning down to hug him and resting her head on his warm shoulder."Not really; it's boring going to work without you."Primrose pouted playfully, her voice soft and pleasant, like a refreshing stream that gently touched Joel's heart. He was slightly taken aback, gently rubbing her
