Chapter 62: Chapter 62

Seeing Primrose suddenly dumbfounded, Joel thought she was uncomfortable, so he gently touched Primrose's forehead.

"Sweetie, are you upset? Why are you so dumbfounded?"

Primrose quickly exited the memory, pretending to have nothing but shook her head, casually pointing forward.

"Nothing. Since the cakes over there are so delicious, I want to taste them."

Primrose's reasoning was very superficial, but Joel took it for granted, ended the conversation with the people around, and went with Primrose to the dessert table.

This place has a wide variety of delicately decorated pastries and a few beautifully colored drinks, arranged both cleverly and luxuriously. Joel took a plate, chose some of the usual Primrose cakes, and gave it to her.

"Next time you want to eat, just say, If you're shy, I can help you get it. Don't stare stupidly like that."

Joel said it jokingly, making Primrose's ears red. She mechanically ate a piece of light pink cake, which is a moderately sweet strawberry macaron. The sweetness that lingers after eating makes her very fond of it. She took another bite of the cake, rolling her eyes and smiling at Joel beside her.

"This cake is delicious; do you want to try it?"

Joel was of course not interested in sweets, but looking at the piece of cake in Primrose's hand, he nodded and quickly bent over, eating the half-eaten Primrose cake.

"Hey, you have to eat the new one. That piece of cake I have already bitten."

Primrose hastily tapped Joel's hand to remind him, and Joel just smiled and moved closer to Primrose's face. The distance between them was so close that he could see Primrose's eyelashes flutter in surprise.

"It's okay because it's a piece of cake you ate half of, so I like it. They are very sweet."

Joel finished speaking and deliberately licked his lips provocatively, raising his eyebrows and looking directly into Primrose's eyes. The two were standing in the corner, and no one was paying attention in this direction. He was also very comfortable teasing, causing Primrose to become confused.

She moved her lips to say something, but so far she was no match for Joel when it came to joking, so in the end, she remained silent, eating the remaining cakes on the plate.

"You don't invite me to eat cake anymore? Why are you so stingy? I want to eat together too."

Primrose's concessions made Joel even more encroached; he used a volume only the two of them could hear and whispered, the lower tone of his voice becoming more and more enchanting. Primrose widened her eyes in disbelief, then glared at Joel again and turned away.

"If you want to eat, you take it yourself. There are still many cakes on the table, and there are also many plates of cakes. There's no need to be intimate enough to eat a piece of cake with me."

Joel suppressed a laugh at Primrose's angry look. The red lips rose, the tone was both sulky and cold, and the white face was still red because of the awkwardness earlier. The eyebrows are slightly furrowed but extremely harmless. She purposely said harsh words to irritate Joel, but he didn't feel upset at all.

He turned to look behind him. After confirming that no one was really paying attention to this side, he kissed the corner of Primrose's lips with swift speed, causing Primrose, in shock, to realize that he could only feel the warmth on his lips.

"Then you go ahead and eat the cake. It's fine if I taste this sweetness."

Joel added teasingly, causing Primrose to bite her lip and wrinkle her nose in anger. Obviously, she couldn't have imagined that in a place with so many people, Joel could still play a trick.

"If it weren't for the crowd, I would have hit you."

Primrose glared at Joel warningly; the plate of cake she finished eating was also neatly placed on the table. She quickly turned to leave. Joel laughed lightly, still not forgetting to tease.

"Okay, you can hit me anytime. If it's not convenient here, I'll let you beat me when I get home."

"Can you hit me in bed? Just like last night, I still have a few scratches on my back. It hurts a bit, but I can bear it if there are a few more scratches."

Joel did not hesitate to mention that it was not suitable to talk about it in a crowded place that made Primrose directly pretend to be deaf, walking faster and faster. Now that Alex and Marry's engagement ceremony had also begun, Primrose moved back to her seat, leaving Joel trailing behind.

Both of their families are very wealthy, so the ceremony was held very grandly. When the two exchanged rings, Primrose also let out a cry of surprise when they saw the ring they exchanged.

It is a custom design from one of the most famous designers in the country with its own logo on each product, and the price is considered extremely expensive. Primrose heard that just a regular ring can cost several million dollars, so a custom design will cost many times more.

It made everyone's eyes widen in surprise.

Joel followed Primrose's gaze upward, quickly guessing what she was thinking and whispering softly in her ear.

"You like that designer's design? I'll buy it for you later, okay?"

"Also, our wedding ring is more expensive than theirs; you are not inferior to anyone."

Joel spoke firmly, each word surprising Primrose.

When she got married, she didn't pay much attention to the design of the ring, just casually letting Joel help her put it on. After getting married, the two also agreed not to go out publicly, so Primrose took off the ring and put it neatly in a corner of the dressing table.

Now that Joel mentioned it, she was surprised too. The ring Alex and Mary exchanged is already very expensive, but she and Joel's wedding ring is even more expensive.

Primrose's gaze at Joel added a bit of bewilderment.

"No problem. I don't force you to wear a wedding ring. If publicizing the relationship makes you uncomfortable, we don't do it anymore. I can understand. Don't worry too much."

Joel's gentle reassurance made Primrose's heart swell with strange emotions; she also became confused. Touching, vibrating, joyful, and dreamy intertwined, Primrose, confused, could only pretend to be indifferent for an hour and then turn away to hide her erratic heartbeat. She secretly scolded Joel for being too skilled at saying sweet words, making her unable to hold back her confused thoughts.

Very dangerous. If she continued to be with Joel and listened to these sweet words day in and day out, Primrose was afraid that she would soon fall into the net, to the point where she could no longer get out comfortably.

The engagement ceremony was over, and Primrose and Joel got up together to prepare to leave. Primrose wanted to reapply her lipstick, so she asked Joel to wait a moment for her to go to the bathroom, and Joel also nodded and stood still.

Primrose left made her way to the bathroom and then reapplied the lipstick to make it more perfect. When she finished eating the cake because she was teased by Joel, she forgot to apply lipstick. She now remembers that the lipstick on her lips is no longer perfect. A lover of perfection and beauty like Primrose, of course, can't accept that.

When she left the toilet, she followed the old way to come out. At this time, a waitress was carrying a bulky drink tray, carelessly bumping into Primrose, causing her to be pushed to the right, her back hitting the wall behind her.

"Sorry, I wasn't careful. You're okay."

The waitress worriedly asked Primrose, her face apologetic. Primrose waved her hand to show that it was okay, also saying that this was a small matter and she did not need to worry.

The employee apologized profusely in a few more sentences before continuing to work. Primrose straightened up and wanted to leave, but found that her ankle was aching, probably already dislocated.

She bit her lip painfully, limping back to find Joel. From afar, Joel saw that Primrose's gait was not correct, so he quickly stepped closer and asked softly.

"What's wrong, Primrose? What's wrong with your leg?"

Primrose summarized the trouble just now and waved his hand to tell Joel not to worry; it was just that the dislocation made walking a bit difficult, not too serious.

"Why isn't it serious? Come up here; I will carry you back."

Joel quickly crouched down with his back to Primrose, his broad back making her feel really safe. After a few seconds of hesitation, Primrose considered it difficult for her to walk on her own and obediently let Joel carry her back.

Joel carefully supported Primrose's back so that she would not fall. Primrose also complied and hugged him lightly on the neck; the distance between the two became highly intimate. Primrose could smell the cool, pleasant scent of Joel's perfume and the masculine scent emanating from his vest. This position makes the two of them very close to each other and highly intimate, making her face look suspiciously red, and her heart also beats a little faster.

It's too dangerous.
