Chapter 17: Chapter 17

Although everyone is sitting at the same table, they have different thoughts. Primrose's parents talked to Anna, Primrose, and Lay and reminisced about the beautiful past, not realizing that Joel was drinking more and more.

During the initial contact with Primrose, Joel also told her that their relationship was just "pretending" to be love in front of their parents and that the rest would not interfere in each other's personal lives. However, after living together for half a year, his original steadfastness was gone.

He was angry when Primrose was confessed to by others because he was worried about losing her, and he said harsh words. Now, the cold war has not been abolished. So this time, Joel did not dare act too emotionally, afraid that Primrose would not forgive him.

At this time, Joel could only see the bottle of Anna's precious wine as water, sip by sip, and drink it up. Winnie also seemed obedient, Joel's glass of wine was empty and quickly filled, as much as he wanted to take care of it. Normally, Joel is a heavy drinker who doesn't get drunk, but this time he can't help but feel dizzy, instinctively leaning on Primrose's shoulder.

"What's wrong, Joel? Are you feeling unwell somewhere?"

Primrose was talking to Lay when she was interrupted, tilting her head to touch Joel's forehead. The temperature is still normal, only the skin is slightly red. It seems that he has drunk a lot.

"Yes, I seem to be drunk; my head is a little dizzy."

The gentle scent on Primrose's neck made Joel love it; unconsciously sniffing a few more times made Primrose feel ticklish and slightly withdrawn.

"Perhaps this wine is so delicious that he loves it and has been drinking it continuously ever since."

Joel was a bit tired, so he didn't talk much, just lazily leaning on Primrose, while Winnie beside him hastily explained. Then, as if thinking of something, Winnie added kindly.

"Leaving him here like this will tire him out, or let me help him go home and rest, so it won't affect everyone's meals."

Primrose saw that Winnie's face was now filled with worry. She also thought that she had only good intentions and wanted to take care of others, so she nodded in agreement.

The meal has not ended, and she is also talking happily with Lay now, not wanting to be interrupted. Anyway, Winnie is not close to Anna's family, it's easy to feel lost if she stays, so it's okay for her and Joel to return first.

"Then thank you in advance. My room at home you probably already know, just let him sleep in my room directly."

Primrose was comfortably advised; in her house, there are many extra bedrooms for guests, and she said Winnie can choose the room at will. Winnie nodded meekly, her eyes flashing with satisfaction, and then quickly disappeared.

"I knew. I'll take Joel back to your room and sleep in the extra bedroom."

Winnie finished talking, then asked a maid in Anna's house to help her help Joel up, and together they brought him back to Primrose's house. Primrose's parents were a bit surprised when Joel was drunk, but Primrose explained further, so they didn't think much and just assumed that Joel was easy to get drunk when drinking.

Winnie helped Joel home; the corners of her lips could not help but rise. After today, she will no longer be jealous of other people's happiness. What if Joel her brother-in-law, can't miss the happiness of life because of that? Moreover, from a young age, she was told by her mother to know how to fight for herself, otherwise she would just be a failure.

She certainly didn't want to be a loser.

"Okay, now that I'm going to help Joel up to his room, you can go home. Thank."

As soon as she opened the door to the house, Winnie told the housekeeper of Anna's house, who was walking next to her, and then helped Joel into the house herself. The maid is a young girl, and seeing that Winnie can do well, she didn't think much of it; she just nodded and turned back.

"Joel, are you awake?"

Winnie asked Joel as he helped him up the stairs. Joel drank a lot tonight; now the sound in the earphones is vague, and he's a bit annoyed with Winnie, so he doesn't want to answer. Winnie was delighted again that Joel was so drunk that he didn't know what was going on, which was all the more convenient for her next plan.

Winnie followed Primrose's orders to help Joel into Primrose's bedroom in the house but was in no hurry to leave immediately. She looked at the drunk man on the bed, his face was no longer serious but slightly red, and his collar was open to reveal his healthy skin tone. Now he has a little yeast in him, so he is more attractive than usual. Usually, very mature men's taste.

Moreover, he is not only handsome but also extremely rich. In the future, just having a woman by his side means that Winnie not only doesn't have to worry about the upcoming workplace but can also enjoy the feeling of being rich and always having a maid to serve. As soon as this thought came, Winnie couldn't hold back any more of Joel's desire to sleep.

"Joel, if Primrose knew that you at home were so seduced by I, would you still be able to safely advise me like before?"

Winnie suddenly whispered and then sneered, leaning down to push her hair to the side and approaching Joel to unbutton his shirt.

"What are you doing? Are you crazy? Do you know what stupid thing you're doing?"

Joel was no longer so awake, but he could still feel Winnie's dirty arm that had just unbuttoned one of his shirt buttons and was inclined to continue undoing it. The alcohol vapor in his body made him dizzy and tired, but he still had the strength to get away from Winnie's hand and sit up angrily.

"I know, I know very well, but then what? Now that you're drunk, we have sex when he's drunk; isn't that a good reason? Maybe you're not interested in my body."

Winnie was a little disheartened by Joel's avoidance but still smiled calmly. Joel had drunk a large bottle of wine, and she didn't believe he could still be sober enough to get out of this situation.

Winnie reached for the zipper of her shirt, quickly leaving only her sexy underwear, tightly wrapped around her body. Today she deliberately chose a black lingerie set made of lace, exposing enough body curves with almost see-through material. She doesn't believe Joel can hold back this attraction.

Joel saw this scene and just felt sick to the point of nausea, trying to bite his lip to become more awake. He saw Winnie step closer, used all his strength to stand up and push Winnie to the ground, and loudly scolded her.

"Do you not feel sorry for Primrose doing that?"

Winnie sneered.

"So what? Reaching the new goal is the most important thing; the rest I don't care about. Joel, sleep with me for a night; I'll definitely make you happier sleeping with Primrose."

Winnie licked her lips and smiled seductively; Joel's head was a little dizzy but he was still trying to resist. Seeing Winnie about to move closer again, Joel took a few steps back, shouting.

"Are you crazy? Stay away from me. It's nauseating!"

Just as Winnie was snickering, wanting to approach Joel again as his rationality waned, suddenly Primrose's pleasant voice came from downstairs.

"Joel, what's wrong? Are you fine?"

After Joel left, Primrose suddenly felt an unspeakable anxiety and, moreover, an uneasiness. The story with Lay ended not long after that; she also said goodbye to everyone and left early, wanting to return to see how Joel's situation was. Not to mention, tonight, Joel said there was something important to say, and Primrose wanted to know what it was, too.

Joel's dreamy, unfocused gaze gradually became clearer. He struggled to straighten his body, watching Winnie ferociously come closer to him. He put his hand on his collar as if he wanted to take off all of his clothes. on his body. The passionate scent of perfume covered Joel with disgust; he bit hard on his lips to maintain the last bit of sanity, pushing Winnie out.

"Primrose, come here; you need to see Winnie's disgust."

Primrose was also close to her room at this time, and seeing Joel impatiently walk out with his hand closing the button of his shirt was also very curious. Joel saw her appear, quickly grabbing Primrose's wrist and pulling her inside.

"Primrose, Winnie wants to seduce me while I'm crawling into our bed."

Joel spoke bluntly, neither condescendingly nor dodging, which combined with the image of Winnie now on the floor made Primrose's eyes widen in surprise. Currently, Winnie only has thin, tight underwear, obviously unable to cover the girl's body because she was pushed to the floor, her hair is messy, her face is full of disapproval, and she looks like she's struggling.

When Joel finished speaking, he did not have too much strength left, so he hugged Primrose from behind, conveniently put his head on her shoulder, and softly narrated.

"I had to use my last conscience to stay away from her, but she was not ashamed and proceeded to unbutton my shirt."

Joel's voice suddenly had a hint of sadness, as if he felt very condescending when bullied, making Primrose suddenly at a loss for words. She looked down at Winnie from above and saw her frantically wrapping the blanket around her, looking extremely disheveled. She calmly looked at Winnie before speaking first.

"Why do you do that?"

She of course believes that what Joel said is true; he has no reason to deceive her, and moreover, Winnie's embarrassment and regret are the clearest proof of what Joel said.

"I just don't understand; how can you marry a perfect husband like Joel? Primrose, you are just an ordinary woman with no talent; how did you have such a perfect marriage?"

Winnie's eyes showed cruelty, didn't want to continue pretending, tightened the thin blanket on her body, and choked out a scream.

"Obviously, I am superior to you in every way. I study abroad at a famous school; I'm prettier than you, younger than you; wouldn't I be more suitable to be Joel's wife? For whatever reason I have to struggle to find trivial jobs and worry about the future every day, you leisurely enjoy life."

These words obviously shocked Primrose. She absolutely did not think that Winnie would have such a thought or be jealous enough to consider her an enemy. Winnie's eyes were now red, and her lips were constantly smiling scornfully, looking at her with disgust.

"Primrose, I also don't understand why Joel has rejected me so many times, just single-mindedly choosing an old, ugly, and boring woman like you. He's an idiot; you're all equally stupid."
