The Mind-Reading Mate Why Is the Lycan King So Obsessed With Me novel Chapter 48

Chapter 48: The King’s First Genuine Smile

Alright. The first step to fixing her husband’s terrible communication skills was to make him say what he was thinking without her having to read his mind.

"You’re fine," Edmund said.

FINE?!

Who in their right mind compliments a woman by calling her fine?!

"Your Majesty." Primrose curved her lips into a smile, but her voice was as cold as ice. "If you want to learn how to smile, the first thing you need to do is learn how to make other people smile."

Edmund stiffened. "How ... how do I do that?"

[The only thing I’m good at is making people run away in fear.]

"There are many ways," Primrose said. "One of them is by giving compliments."

Edmund hesitated. "Like ... what I just said?"

Primrose let out a sharp, sarcastic laugh. "No man calls a woman fine and expects her to smile after that, Your Majesty."

Edmund took a small step back. [Did ... did she just call me out? But ... my wife is right!]

[I was so dumb and ridiculous for saying that to her.]

"If you want to make a woman smile, you need to use sweeter words when complimenting her." Primrose continued, "Like ’beautiful’ or ’pretty.’"

There were plenty of words he could have used instead of fine, but those two seemed like a safe choice.

"My wife..." Edmund paused for a moment, his expression serious, like he was planning a war strategy in his head.

"You’re beautiful today."

Primrose nodded approvingly. Finally, he got it right. "That’s g—"

"I think your smile looks pretty and, um ... weirdly warm. Not in a bad way! Just ... warm. Like sunshine, but prettier. I mean, you. You’re prettier than sunshine!"

Before she could even react, he quickly added, "And that little pink bow in your hair makes you look so adorable this morning, my wife."

Primrose’s cheeks instantly burned, a soft red blush spreading across her pale skin.

Since when did he have that kind of vocabulary to compliment someone?!

Not only had he praised her looks, but also her smile and even the tiny detail of her hair accessory.

So ... he really had been paying attention to every little thing about her all this time?

[Why is my wife just staring at me? Did my compliments sound like insults?!]

Insults?!

If anything, those were the most genuine and heartwarming compliments Primrose had ever received.

So if he actually had this much skill in giving compliments, why had he never used it before?!

"Thank you, Your Majesty." A bright smile spread across her face. "Your compliments truly make my heart happy."

[She likes it! She actually likes my compliments!]

[My wife looks even more beautiful when she’s happy. I should compliment her more often from now on.]

"You can sit now, Your Majesty," Primrose said.
