Chapter 38: Chapter 38
Primrose and Nancy, on the other hand, definitely solved Primrose's current concerns by not caring about Joel anymore and letting things happen naturally. However, Joel's side was not so easy; he was bothered by the object Primrose mentioned to Nancy in the morning.
Auntie.
Today, Joel has an appointment with a customer at noon to discuss an upcoming project. When he just went down to the company lobby, he saw a figure running towards him. Fortunately, his secretary behind him reacted quickly and blocked Joel, and the guard also promptly ran to hold the strange woman.
"Joel, why don't you reply to my message? You haven't seen them yet?"
At this time, Joel raised his head to look at the source of the voice, also realizing that the person coming was Auntie. Disgust and impatience immediately appeared on Joel's face. Auntie didn't seem to recognize them again; her sparkling eyes looked straight at Joel as if she were very hurt when he was ignored, her lips pursed with pity, and the tip of her nose also gradually turned red.
"Is it because you are married and your wife is jealous, so you don't talk to me?"
"Joel, I can help you explain. It's just that I just returned home, I don't know anyone, and I want to find some old friends to reminisce about the day before, absolutely nothing else."
Auntie's voice is both gentle and understanding, and her attitude also seems very sincere, making the guard next to Joel also awkwardly look at Joel, wondering if he should continue to hold Auntie so she can't get close to Joel.
"Not."
Joel suddenly spoke, his voice extremely cold and distant. His brows were tightly furrowed, showing impatience; his thin lips were tightly pursed; and his face revealed a disdainful expression. What was the reason for his and Auntie's breakup before? She forgot so quickly after.
"It's not that my wife doesn't allow me to contact you."
Joel said a half-sentence, making Auntie think she still had hope of approaching him, quickly raising her head with sparkling eyes.
"I know your wife is definitely a sensible wife, but that does not prevent me and you from meeting."
Looking at Auntie's happy and smug look, Joel sneered.
"You misunderstood; I mean, not my wife forbid, but I don't want to talk to you. You're annoying, so please stay away; don't come near; I'm afraid to get dirty."
Joel's words were like a slap on Auntie's smiling face, causing her smile to stiffen for a moment. She was, of course, not satisfied with this result; if she had gone to Joel's company, she could not return in such humiliation.
So Auntie stubbornly raised her head when Joel wanted to leave, quickly stopped in front of him, and loudly said
"Joel, I've only been abroad for a few years; have you forgotten all the love we have had for all these years? You know, before that, you always said you would never leave me and would always love and stand by me, not caring about other women."
Recalling the old story, the coldness in Joel's eyes became even more obvious. He straightened his back and looked down at Auntie, contempt and disgust evident in every word.
"Yes, what about the outcome? You hastily left me to follow a rich man, saying that money can buy happiness; my feelings are only worthy of being stepped on."
Referring to the old story, Auntie deeply regrets Joel was a modest person at that time and did not show off his family background and wealth, so Auntie completely did not know that Joel was born into an extremely wealthy family. She thinks that Joel's family is just average; there is a rich man abroad pursuing her, buying her a lot of expensive designer clothes and bags. She is immediately fascinated and follows her. He went abroad to live and coldly abandoned Joel.
Who expected Auntie's rich new boyfriend to be a flower digger? After a while, he no longer loves and likes to spend money on Auntie like before, and even though Auntie bought a bag that wasn't too expensive, he was also annoyed. Later, Auntie learned that he had another girlfriend outside, pampering her like he had pursued Auntie before.
At this moment, Auntie learns the truth about Joel's wealth and regrets returning to the country to join Joel in rekindling their previous love. She doesn't care too much about the fact that Joel is married; anyway, in the past, Joel loved her like that and volunteered to do a lot of things for her, so now she will easily make Joel love her again. Auntie is very confident with her looks and charm.
"Get out of the way; go back to your rich boyfriend; don't bother me."
Joel shoved his hands in his pockets and walked straight away, paying no attention to Auntie anymore. The past should be let go; moreover, now that he is a married man, he does not want to have an affair and hurt Primrose.
The ignored aunt was so angry that she stamped her feet, unwilling to glare at the guard next to her. She, of course, will not give up so easily; Joel will definitely have to belong to her again. She angrily left Joel's company, her lips pursed to hold back her screams and made a phone call directly.
"Hello, I want you to help me find a woman's contact method."
If she can't make Joel waver, Auntie, of course, has a way to make those around him gradually lose faith.
Not long after Auntie left, Joel also successfully negotiated the contract with the customer and returned to the company. His mood was inherently good today, but in the afternoon, his secretary informed him that he needed to go on a business trip to the next city, and Joel's mood immediately dropped.
These days, he and Primrose are together almost every day, so he soon got used to the presence of Primrose by his side. Moreover, he felt that Primrose's state yesterday was not too good; he wanted to spend time with her this weekend to relax, but he did not expect this plan to have failed before it could start. Joel was extremely distressed.
"Director, is something wrong with you?"
The secretary next to him had just finished his report, and when he saw that Joel's face quickly sank at a speed visible to the naked eye, he hurriedly asked again. Joel suddenly thought of something and seriously asked
"Do you have a girlfriend? If your girlfriend's mood is not good, what will you do?"
The secretary was a little surprised when Joel asked this question but still answered honestly.
"When she is sad, I usually buy her jewelry. Women love beautiful jewelry, especially tailor-made ones, and she will cherish them immensely."
Joel nodded, feeling that the secretary's words were extremely correct. The jewelry cabinet in Primrose's bedroom is very large. It can be seen that Primrose is also quite fond of sparkling jewelry. He can buy her a few pieces of jewelry to make her feel happier, but not as excited as today. over again.
"Then you help me find some brands that have their own designs for jewelry; I want to buy them for my wife."
The secretary nodded, said he would go find out, and then left the room. At this time, Joel's mood was slightly better.
