Chapter 34: Chapter 34

After turning off the lights, the senses became even more clear, making Primrose clearly feel the existence of Joel next to him when his scent lingered on the tip of his nose and the sound of his breathing was even. Perhaps because she had just woken up, Primrose was no longer too sleepy, but afraid of disturbing Joel, she just lay still, obediently placing her hands on her stomach.

After a while, still not feeling sleepy at all, Primrose turned gently. At this moment, the right person next to him quickly grabbed Primrose's wrist and turned, smoothly pressing on her.

"Can't sleep?"

Joel's voice in the night seemed to be exaggerated in volume; the low bass sound transmitted to Primrose's ears was indescribably seductive, making her blush. Primrose nodded sheepishly, moving his hand to escape. Joel drew closer and teased.

"I can't sleep either; do you want to exercise with me before going to bed to sleep better later?"

Of course, Primrose understood that Joel was trying to tease him, but his heartbeat could not help but speed up. Joel frequently uses language that is inappropriate for children.

"I still have to go to work tomorrow; I don't have time to talk nonsense with you."

Primrose, of course, could not agree with Joel's indecent statement, turning his head in the other direction. Unexpectedly, Joel only smiled happily and gently grabbed Primrose's chin. He quickly leaned down to kiss Primrose's soft lips.

Primrose was so surprised that she opened her eyes wide without reacting until she felt the warmth of her lips before she woke up, struggling to get out of Joel's hand. But obviously, this strength could not resist Joel; he only used his other hand to easily hold Primrose's hand, making the kiss even more passionate.

It wasn't until Primrose could barely breathe anymore that he reluctantly let go, licking his lips teasingly.

"Go to sleep quickly. If it weren't for you, who just got back from the hospital today, I wouldn't have stopped at this step."

Joel helped Primrose smooth the soft strands of hair from her forehead, carefully helping her cover the blanket. Primrose dreamily received this kindness, silently scolding Joel in his heart for being shameless.

Every word she said successfully made her so embarrassed that she did not dare to raise her head.

Seeming to sense resentment from the person next to him, Joel once again approached, speaking softly in Primrose's ear.

"Still not sleeping yet? Or do we continue the story just now?"

Primrose hastily shook her head, turning her back to Joel.

"No, I sleep here. Good night."

Primrose's somewhat innocent expression made Joel laugh, and he also decided not to tease her anymore.

"Okay, have a nice dream, sweetie."

The next morning, Primrose woke up as usual, enjoyed the breakfast Joel cooked, and was driven to the company. Work is still boring as usual; nothing has changed. Just after work, Nancy and Joel went to the mall to buy jewelry.

Coming up to Nancy and her boyfriend's one-year anniversary together, Nancy wants her to be as beautiful as possible on the date. And of course, a sophisticated jewelry set is always a great choice to make her look more beautiful and elegant.

So Primrose, who currently had no need to buy new jewelry, was also brought along by Nancy for the reason that she needed help choosing jewelry.

"Primrose, which of these two bracelets do you think will fit me better?"

Nancy held the two bracelets thoughtfully toward Primrose. Primrose thought and answered.

"Maybe it's a bracelet with a small pink heart charm. It's delicate and lovely, and it just compliments your fair skin."

This answer makes Nancy very satisfied; Primrose's aesthetic gout always makes it easier for her to choose. Nancy decisively took the pink charm bracelet Primrose mentioned, and then the two continued to choose a necklace that matched the style of the bracelet.

Oh, who is this? Isn't that high school slut Primrose?"

The strange voice came from outside, the words so harsh that Primrose and Nancy couldn't help but frown. The two of them looked out the window at the same time, just meeting the eyes of the haughty girl who said the above sentence.

It's Jamie.

Previously, when they were in high school, Primrose and Jamie were in the same class, but their relationship was not very close; even during the school year, they could not talk to each other for more than three sentences.

However, Jamie's boyfriend, Cris, because of his love for Primrose's beautiful appearance and grace, decisively broke up with Jamie to pursue Primrose and criticized Jamie for being ugly, too haughty, and not generous. Although Primrose later, of course, refused to be Cris's girlfriend, Jamie deeply hated her.

She thinks that because Primrose is a flirtatious woman who actively seduces Cris, he coldly breaks up with her and insults her with malicious words. Moreover, Primrose and Jamie were born into the same wealthy family, but Primrose was friendlier and more beloved than Jamie, which made Jamie even more jealous.

So during his high school years, Jamie tried many times to bring Primrose down and scold her with horrible words.

Now they continue.

"Oh, I was still wondering who has such a bad mouth to say such nasty things—is it you, Jamie? A few years have passed; you're still as stupid as ever, aren't you?"

Primrose is not the type to be gentle, tolerating when others bully. She pursed her lips in response, looking straight into Jamie's eyes provocatively. Why should I be afraid? When I was in high school, every time Jamie approached to bully Primrose, she was rebuffed to the point of being extremely embarrassed to leave.

"Huh, do you also have enough money to buy jewelry at a luxury store like this? It seems that you have already seduced a successful man; how can you successfully enter the upper class when you sleep with him one night?"

Jamie covered his mouth provocatively, his eyes sharp and hateful. As the years passed, Primrose looked more beautiful and attractive, which directly made her jealous to the point of having red eyes.

"Did you mistake me for someone else? My family already belongs to the upper class; there is no need to live on men's money."

"Also, do you still have the confidence to come in front of me?" Before, your boyfriend was so in love with me that he decided to break up with you to pursue me. Honestly, if I was dumped by my boyfriend like that, I wouldn't even have the confidence to go out on the street; it's embarrassing."

Primrose spoke loudly, successfully capturing the attention of the customers nearby. They whispered something in a low voice, making Jamie mad.

"Shut up. Primrose, it's you who seduced my boyfriend and slept with him to get him to break up. I. You're the disgusting woman."

Recalling the old story, Jamie couldn't hold back his emotions and shouted. On the contrary, Primrose was very nonchalant; she told Nancy beside her to feel free to choose her jewelry, and then she slowly walked up to Jamie.

"The kind of person who is both ugly and incompetent like Cris, I don't even want to talk to, let alone seduce him. Only an ignorant person like you would appreciate and match him; I have no interest."

"Do not blame me. It's because you're not pretty and generous enough to make your boyfriend hate you."

When Primrose finished, Jamie's face quickly paled, red with anger mixed with loss of face.

"What are you saying? How can you be so calm after stealing my boyfriend? You seem to have a bit of pride. No wonder you have so many pursuers around you; you know how to pretend, making others think that you are a pure and self-respecting woman."
