Chapter 69: Chapter 69

Primrose entered the house, silently reflecting on Nancy's advice earlier, slightly squinting her eyes as she pondered and feeling it to be quite sensible. After all, Joel always took the initiative and made their relationship sweeter. She should also take some steps to surprise him.

So, with determination in her heart, Primrose slowly changed her shoes and walked into the living room, thinking about how Joel was sitting on the sofa waiting for her to return.

"Sweetie, you're back. Did you enjoy your day at the company?"

Seeing Primrose approaching, Joel naturally struck up a conversation, leaning back on the sofa and speaking. Primrose's gaze shifted subtly, and she smiled as she walked up to Joel's side, leaning down to hug him and resting her head on his warm shoulder.

"Not really; it's boring going to work without you."

Primrose pouted playfully, her voice soft and pleasant, like a refreshing stream that gently touched Joel's heart. He was slightly taken aback, gently rubbing her head and blinking a few times to confirm he wasn't dreaming, then slowly replying.

"Is that so? Well, next time, wherever I go, I'll take you with me. We won't be apart anymore, okay, sweetie?"

Joel had missed Primrose a lot this afternoon, which was why he had sent so many messages, hoping to catch her attention. He hadn't expected her to react this way, which left him a bit disheartened. Seeing Primrose willingly snuggle into his embrace like this made him both surprised and content, so he gently patted her back to make her feel more comfortable.

"Okay, do you want to make it up to me for not seeing me all afternoon?"

Primrose lifted her head slightly, her clear eyes locking onto Joel's, her long eyelashes fluttering beautifully. Joel instinctively swallowed, feeling a dryness in his mouth, as he gazed intently at her plump lips and replied.

"How would you like me to make it up to you?"

Joel thought Primrose might want luxury handbags, clothes, or expensive jewelry, which he would gladly buy for her. However, Primrose had a mischievous twinkle in her eye, her blinking becoming more enthusiastic, as she pointed to her own lips, her sparkling gaze filled with anticipation.

"Do you understand what I mean?"

Of course, Joel understood, and he was even delighted that lately, Primrose had become more proactive. He was more than willing to fulfill her request for a sweet kiss. He smiled charmingly, his lips curving into a handsome smile, leaning closer to her ear.

"I understand. I'll make sure to compensate you until you're satisfied."

Joel's laughter mixed with the gentle breeze, followed by a warm kiss on Primrose's lips. The kiss started slowly, Joel carefully outlining the shape of her lips, causing her to shiver, and then deepening the kiss. Their lips melded together passionately, and the atmosphere around them gradually grew hazy, punctuated by the soft sounds of their tender kisses that made Primrose blush.

When Primrose's breath was nearly stolen away, Joel finally pulled back, looking at her lips with an enamored expression.

"Is this compensation satisfying? If not, we can do it again."

Primrose's breathless state made her chest rise and fall rapidly, her lips redder and plumper than before, with a faint pink tint dusting her cheeks. Joel's mouth still felt dry, obviously, a single kiss wasn't enough.

Waiting for Primrose to steady her breathing, he placed a hand on the back of her neck to prevent her from falling forward, then leaned in for another kiss. In an instant, Primrose reciprocated, making Joel even more enchanted and enthusiastic.

When their lips finally parted, Primrose's lips were slightly swollen. She playfully glared at Joel, her expression a mix of anger and embarrassment, punching his chest lightly to release her frustration.

"It's because you can't control yourself, you annoying person."

Joel let Primrose vent her frustration, while he carefully held onto her tightly clenched fists, gently rubbing them and blowing on them a few times.

"Is your hand hurting, sweetie?"

Joel's careful and gentle gestures were soothing, and he also placed a gentle kiss on Primrose's hand, making her anger dissipate like the wind. Primrose couldn't stay angry with Joel for too long, so she turned her head away, her lips pouting.

"Alright, are you hungry? Would you like to have a romantic candlelit dinner tonight at a five-star restaurant? I've already made a reservation. You can change into something beautiful, and then we'll go together."

Joel adjusted his messy hair and the slightly disheveled collar of his shirt, playfully imitating the tone of a host, his voice carrying a hint of excitement. It had been a while since they had gone out for a date, and he wanted to enjoy a new culinary experience with Primrose.

Primrose nodded, then got up and headed upstairs. Joel was courteous enough to change in a separate room, but when he emerged, they both froze.

Primrose had chosen a light yellow spaghetti strap dress that looked youthful and fresh, highlighting her beauty and radiance. Meanwhile, Joel was wearing a well-fitted suit, but what caught their attention was the yellow bow tie he had chosen, matching Primrose's dress perfectly.

When the two stood side by side, they looked surprisingly harmonious. Joel, the gentleman, offered his arm, and Primrose instinctively took it. They walked out together, with Joel opening the car door for her as usual, making sure she didn't bump her head before returning to the driver's seat. As they got into the car, he played some soft, melodic music to set a relaxed and comfortable mood, the gentle melody resonating in the car until they reached the restaurant Joel had booked.

It was a French restaurant, so the ambiance was very romantic, with a cellist playing soothing tunes while the patrons enjoyed their delicious meals. On their table, Joel had arranged candles and a single red rose, while flower petals were scattered beautifully across the table. Primrose tilted her head to look at Joel, her eyes meeting his gentle and smiling gaze, feeling a bit dazed.

Joel politely pulled out the chair for Primrose, then received the menu from the waiter and handed it to her.

"Feel free to choose whatever you like, sweetie."

Primrose casually selected a few of her favorite dishes, and Joel ordered the same items for himself. When the waiter left, Joel rested his chin on his hand, his eyes fixed on Primrose with an enamored expression.

"So, do you like this restaurant? I spent a long time picking it out. I thought you'd enjoy the romantic and sophisticated atmosphere."

Primrose nodded, particularly enjoying the sweet sounds of the cello echoing in the spacious surroundings. The classical yet elegant melodies contributed to a captivating ambiance. Indulging in the music and savoring the beautifully presented dishes was truly a wonderful experience.

The food was served quickly, and Joel instinctively picked up his knife and fork, then helped Primrose cut her food into smaller pieces before placing the dish on her plate. Primrose was used to this gesture and easily accepted it, offering a smile in gratitude instead of words. As they ate, they didn't talk much, but they both felt extremely comfortable when they were next to each other.
