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 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

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

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

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
