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
Sitting down to eat for about half an hour, Joel accidentally dropped a piece of goose liver on his clothes, staining the hem. He gently told Primrose to wait for a moment and quickly went to the restroom. As he left, Primrose didn't continue eating; he only sat upright in silence and looked around, waiting for him to return.She observed the surroundings for a while. Although this was a restaurant meant for couples, there were also many groups of friends here, probably because the food was delicious and the service was professional. While she was admiring the scene, someone took a seat at Joel's place, and a glimpse of a black dress shirt caught Primrose's eye. She thought Joel had returned and was about to speak when she saw the face of an unfamiliar man."Beautiful girl, are you here with a friend? Your friend is not here; can I sit at the same table with you? Let's get to know each other a bit." The man said it playfully, making Primrose raise an eyebrow unconsciously. She observe
After returning home, Primrose and Joel took a bath and changed clothes before continuing to watch an episode of a show and then going to bed early. Recently, the weather had turned colder, so Joel had asked the housekeeper to change the thicker blanket for Primrose to keep her warm.The two lay side by side, silently feeling the warmth of each other enveloping them comfortably, and they drifted off to sleep together.Early the next morning, Joel was always the one to wake up first. He stretched and sat up, tucking the blanket back in for Primrose and adjusting her hair away from her forehead. To his surprise, he noticed that Primrose's forehead was slightly warmer than usual. Worriedly, he gently touched her forehead and spoke softly."Primrose, are you okay? You seem to have a fever. Your forehead feels a bit warm."Primrose was roused from her sleep, lazily opening her eyes while her eyelids felt heavy. She let out a soft cough and then squinted as she looked ahead, replying weakly
Joel sat beside Primrose, watching a movie together. He observed her with a tender smile as she enjoyed each bite of cake, her small mouth occasionally puffing up, looking incredibly cute. Joel naturally helped Primrose wipe her mouth and offered her water; his demeanor was both caring and gentle, causing Primrose to laugh."I'm not a child; I can eat on my own," she protested.Joel didn't consider this true, as he continued to feed Primrose small sips of milk and cake, just as before."But I want to take care of my wife when she's sick. Don't try to stop me," he responded.After saying this, Joel's eyes sparkled mischievously. He teasingly licked his lips while gazing at the crumbs on the corner of Primrose's mouth, making her start and lick her own lips. She decided not to talk to Joel anymore. The two continued in a harmonious atmosphere, and by the time the movie ended, Primrose had finished her last piece of cake."Well done; you finished the cake and milk. Do you want a reward?"
After settling Primrose on the seat and placing some snacks and juice in front of her, Joel busied himself to prepare dinner. He cooked two portions of spaghetti effortlessly, his movements both swift and graceful. Primrose didn't know when she had become captivated, leaning her chin on her hand as she watched.At home, Joel only wore a regular T-shirt and long pants. His short-sleeved shirt now fits snugly, revealing his strong and well-defined muscles along with his prominent knuckles. Meanwhile, Primrose sat a bit away from Joel, allowing her to see his broad and sturdy back along with his graceful movements. Suddenly, Primrose felt like she was in some famous Japanese restaurant, and she was the customer who had come to order food, watching the chef cook right before her—an incredibly enjoyable experience."Joel, if you don't want to be a CEO in the future, you can open a restaurant and become a chef," Primrose casually exclaimed, her soft tone echoing in the space and blending wi
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
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
