Chapter 45: Chapter 45

On the first call, Primrose didn't answer the phone. Feeling more and more insecure, Joel hastily dialed a second time. Fortunately, this time, Primrose answered the phone.

"Primrose, where are you? I came back from a business trip and bought you a surprise gift with some cake. Do you want to go back and see the gift too?"

Joel breathed a sigh of relief, softening his voice. Primrose on the other end of the line was silent for a moment, then replied coldly.

"I don't think it's necessary. Also, let's get a divorce; you and Auntie know all about it. I also saw you and Auntie on the street corner today."

Primrose didn't elaborate, but Joel had vaguely guessed what she had seen. Joel's heart tightened with confusion; he felt so anxious for the first time that he didn't know where to start.

"Primrose, trust me. Where are you now? I can come to you to explain."

Joel's voice was very urgent, mixed with panic; his face also gradually paled, but Primrose did not pay too much attention to them. Now she doesn't want to face Joel, afraid that Joel's lies will make her believe and then suffer again.

Is there anything to explain? Everything is clear. Meeting Joel now only reveals Primrose's weakness; she doesn't want that.

"No need to explain; good luck to you and Auntie. The divorce papers you prepare and sign by yourself, then send them to Nancy to help me. I will quickly sign for you to be together forever."

When Primrose finished speaking, she immediately hung up, blocking the number and other methods of communication to cut off contact with Joel. Some things do not need to be entangled; it is good to solve them all at once. Anyway, she has gradually lost hope in her and Joel's marriage and there is no need to try to hold on to make their relationship even more awkward.

Nancy just brought a plate of strawberries in from outside and saw Primrose's face pale, her hand shaking slightly, and understood what was going on. She handed Primrose a plate with a large piece of strawberry and lightly patted Primrose's shoulder. Her eyes were also filled with worry.

"You should eat strawberries; after eating, get excited. You don't need to be sad for those who don't deserve it."

Primrose was a little bewildered because he couldn't get rid of his negative emotions. He mechanically ate a piece of strawberry and mumbled.

"You don't need to worry; I'll be fine in a few days."

As for Joel, after Primrose hung up the phone, he broke down. He hurriedly pressed the callback button but could only hear the cold mechanical sounds; his lips gradually dried, and his brows furrowed. He angrily slammed his hand on the table; it was Auntie again. She is not enough to disturb his life; she also wants to destroy the relationship between him and Primrose.

At this time, Joel almost went crazy; he couldn't keep his composure anymore, but he picked up the phone and continued to call his secretary.

"Auntie's family business; you make a little trouble. I want to see her live unkindly, no longer hanging around in front of me.”

The secretary quickly understood what Joel meant and quietly told him to rest assured. At this time, Joel hung up the phone with peace of mind.

The quiet atmosphere around him made Joel suddenly feel very lonely and empty; the feeling of being left behind for the first time in his life made him both sad and pitiful.

Primrose doesn't want to hear explanations anymore; she doesn't need him anymore, Joel thought painfully. Primrose is indeed more decisive than Joel thought; she directly blocked all means of communication, making Joel both impatient and unsure of what to do. He wanted to give Primrose time to calm down and be more patient to listen to him clarify everything, but she anxiously waited a little longer, afraid that the two of them would no longer be husband and wife. Joel helplessly rested his head on the sofa behind him, in a very bad mood.

Suddenly a strange thought flashed in his mind. Joel didn't have time to think much and quickly took out his phone, successfully finding Primrose's bank account number left in the phone. He once read a post on a popular forum saying that girls are easy to coax; if you can't contact her by phone, just transfer the money directly to her, and she will be more excited. Moreover, when she is in a good mood and can forgive all the mistakes her boyfriend has made, the two will be able to continue to be happy together.

This was the first time Joel used this method. Suddenly panicking, not knowing how much to transfer, he directly transferred to Primrose one million dollars with a sincere message, hoping that they could meet so he could have a chance to clarify.

After transferring the money, Joel continuously tapped his hand on the table with each beat, expecting Primrose to actively contact him and worried that Primrose was chatting with someone, so he didn't notice his phone. But about five minutes later, Joel received a call from the person he was expecting.

"Joel, what do you have? Didn't I say early on that we should end our relationship and leave each other peacefully? Stop doing meaningless things. Quickly sign the divorce papers and send them to me."

Primrose's voice on the other end of the line sounded tired and choked, and Joel's heart tightened.

"Primrose, don't cry. It's all my fault; if you're sad, just spend your money; if it's not enough, call me back, okay? We all calm down first; I'll come find you later."

Primrose, on the other end of the line, gave a small hiccup and hung up. She just briefly forgot about Joel; he reappeared and confused her thoughts. She was no longer calm. When she saw the money, she remembered Auntie's arrogant and triumphant attitude when she asked her how much money she needed to leave Joel. She couldn't hold back her resentment. At first, she thought that Auntie's coming to her was just her evil intention, but the unexpected coincidence between Auntie and Joel's actions made Primrose feel insecure. Could it be Joel's intention as well, to use the money to insult her and send her away so they can live happily together?

"Joel is a terrible man. You want to spend only 1 million dollars and you want to kick me out. Hmm, later I have to ask him for 10 times more than that."

After the feeling of grief passed, Primrose angrily threw the phone on the bed, silently scolding Joel with the harshest words. No wonder Auntie's attitude towards her was so arrogant last time; it turned out to be Joel's indulgence.

Well, before the two were together, Joel loved her very much. Now that he has a new lover, he doesn't want to be sweet anymore; he must have given all his love to that shameless Auntie. They still want to use the money to force her to divorce. What two bad people!

"Calm down, Primrose; later, Joel gives you money; you can take it and buy whatever you want; this is what you deserve. There's no need to save him; he doesn't deserve it."

In advising others, Nancy is very proficient, so in just a few sentences, she successfully helped Primrose lift her spirits. Well, what is Joel boasting about? After divorcing Joel, she will not be the one to suffer.

"Yes, after signing the divorce papers, I will ask for a few more million dollars from Joel, and we will go to find ten handsome men to relieve the sadness."

Nancy carried the gentle look of a mother when she saw her child grow up, excitedly replying.

"Okay, you finally thought it through. Then every day you change boyfriends. After a month, you might not even recognize Joel when you run into him on the street."

This statement made Primrose very pleased. She happily lay down on the bed, silently adjusting her breathing to dispel all the negative emotions of the day.

"Nancy, it's good to have you here. Without you, I don't know what to do."

Nancy lay gently beside Primrose, speaking sincerely.

"I said earlier, keep us without being so polite. If you're grateful to me, later, when you get money from Joel, you can buy me a few good bags; you know what brand I like, right."

When it comes to money, Primrose is more excited and happy to respond.

"Okay, I just got a million dollars from Joel; we will continue shopping this weekend. Which bag do you like? I will buy you that."
