Chapter 39: Chapter 39

After returning from work, Joel still wants to pick up Primrose as usual and receives a message from Primrose saying that she will go for a walk with Nancy, then visit Nancy's house and go to the bar in the evening. Joel, of course, has no opinion about Primrose going to the bar, but the obvious alienation in Primrose's every gesture worries Joel.

In the end, what happened? Or, inadvertently, did he accidentally do something to anger Primrose, making her now not want to contact him or even want to breathe the same atmosphere with him?

Joel brainwashed his head, Primrose didn't come home, and he also suddenly regretted not staying at the company over time to now face the emptiness and loneliness. He sighed and had to seriously research the famous jewelry design brands that the secretary sent in the afternoon, seriously choosing a brand whose design style suits Primrose the most.

After a long period of concentrated selection, Joel was captivated by the sophisticated and charming jewelry of a new brand, whose name is only a short letter "P.". He didn't understand what this word meant but just found the designs very attractive, so he quickly found a contact method to order Primrose jewelry.

The brand was also quick to respond, sending him the contact information of a designer who best matched the request Joel mentioned. The other party's name has an A, and after a while, Joel knew that the other party was female and named Amy.

Amy is a professional designer, so she quickly grasped the needs that Joel wanted. After hearing Joel say that she wanted to design a jewelry set, she was also very enthusiastic to share the styles that she wanted. Women usually love

"Who do you want to order the design for?"

Amy asked and enthusiastically explained to Joel that when ordering jewelry for different people, there will be different concepts. For example, jewelry given to a mother will tend to be delicate and aristocratic, but jewelry given to a girlfriend or wife will often be younger and more elegant.

"I want to buy jewelry for my wife."

Amy seriously took notes on the tablet, asking Joel questions related to Primrose to proceed with the design sketch. Amy says she has a few sketches available for her new collection this year, which she can show Joel to determine which style she's most impressed with. She also said the two could arrange a meeting. She showed Joel old sketches and style advice for this jewelry set, and Joel happily agreed.

With such a professional and dedicated way of working, Joel is extremely satisfied.

After talking with Amy, he was also free to have nothing to do, so according to Primrose's old habit, he sat down on the sofa, watched a few movies that were being shown, and watched while waiting for Primrose to return. However, Primrose did not return until late at night; her gait was also a bit wobbly, and it seemed that she had drunk a lot.

"Do you wait for me to return? Why are you so obedient today?"

Primrose rubbed her eyes and looked at the straight back sitting on the sofa. When she was drunk, her words also became much more comfortable, freely expressing her emotions. Joel turned to stand, helping Primrose sit down on the sofa, frowning when he smelled the faint smell of alcohol around her; it seemed that she at the bar had drunk a lot.

"Do you feel uncomfortable somewhere? I'll go make lemonade for you, okay?"

Joel's gestures are still gentle; looking at Primrose from top to bottom, apart from a slightly red face and a slightly overexcited state, it is still normal. Joel even breathed a sigh of relief when the drunk Primrose returned, because a drunk Primrose wouldn't avoid him like in the morning.

Joel helped Primrose lean back on the sofa behind her, stood up, and went to the kitchen to make lemonade. There was a time when Primrose's mood was unknown, and he went to the bar very often, so he soon learned the habit of taking care of drunk people. Within a few short minutes, he had set down a glass of cool lemonade beside Primrose, coaxing her to finish it.

"Not sweet enough; I don't drink."

When drunk, Primrose became more stubborn, shook her head, and refused to drink the glass of water in front of her. Joel had to hold the glass of water so that it would not spill on Primrose while supporting Primrose's head so that she would not fall to the floor. Joel sighed, soothing Primrose like a child.

"Alright, obediently drink them all; whatever you want, I will give you."

Primrose's eyes lit up, clearly pleased with the offer. She did not continue to refuse but obediently drank all the lemonade, then lazily leaned back, her eyes half-closed.

"I want to eat strawberries; quickly get them for me."

Currently, there are no strawberries in the house if you want to go to the supermarket near your house to buy them. However, considering Primrose's current condition, Joel was somewhat worried when he left her alone at home, continuing to coax her.

"Can I eat strawberries tomorrow? It's late, and there's no place to sell. When you wake up tomorrow, I'll buy you a lot of strawberries."

Primrose kept shaking her head and wrinkled her nose in displeasure at his reply.

"Didn't you say you can do whatever you want? I just want to eat strawberries."

Primrose bit her lips and put her hand over her ear to show that Joel didn't want to hear anything, so Joel could not help but pat Primrose's head, seriously instructing.

"So you sit here well; I'll be back in a moment; don't go wandering around."

Primrose casually nodded, then closed her eyes again, resting her head on the sofa. At this time, Joel was relieved, went upstairs to get the car keys, and left. Alone, Primrose still listened to Joel's words and sat still on the sofa without getting up, daydreaming, wanting to sleep, and constantly yawning.

Suddenly, the phone rang from the phone on the table. The noise woke Primrose. She opened her eyes, scowling. After a while of looking around, she saw Joel's phone neatly placed on the table.

Primrose opened her eyes dreamily, saw a strange number calling, and impatiently pressed to listen.

"Who is that?"

Primrose's voice was somewhat annoyed because of the sudden awakening, surprising the person on the other end of the line. However, Auntie's smile became even deeper; she was still asking someone to find out how to contact Primrose. Unexpectedly, Primrose accidentally picked up Joel's phone, making everything much simpler.

"Who are you? I'm Joel's current girlfriend; give him the phone."

Auntie tried to force her voice to be as cute and cuddly as possible to act like a girl in love, making Primrose frown, her eyes blinking slightly in surprise.

What, girlfriend, are you crazy? I am Joel's wife."

Primrose's anger was exactly what Auntie meant, and her smile grew even brighter.

"You lied; obviously Joel said he and his wife are getting divorced. I'm Joel's ex-girlfriend; we got back together last week."
