Primrose was caught off guard for a moment because he had actually managed to say something nice for once.
It seemed like the right atmosphere really did help him express himself better.
Whenever he wasn’t under pressure to make her happy, he could actually speak his mind clearly. In fact, for the first time, she didn’t even need to read his thoughts to understand what he meant.
So ... the key to better communication was making sure her husband wasn’t constantly stressed?
Well, she could do that as long as he didn’t stress her out as well.
"If you enjoy this place that much, maybe ... we can have another meal here sometime." Primrose smiled warmly as she tucked a strand of hair behind her ear. "Would you like that, Your Majesty?"
"I would."
Edmund fell silent for a moment, but his mind was clearly busy with something else.
[I don’t like the way she addressed me.]
Primrose frowned slightly. What?
Hadn’t she been polite enough?
She always used his proper title. Even in her thoughts, she still called him the Lycan King instead of that bastard Edmund.
Meanwhile, he had no problem calling her by name—or worse, my wife—without ever using her formal title.
[I like it better when she calls my name.]
Oh ... she hadn’t thought about that.
The only times she had ever said his name were ... when she was about to be killed by an assassin and... in bed.
[Will she say my name again if we have sex?]
[NO! CONTROL YOURSELF, YOU BEAST!]
[How dare you have dirty thoughts about your wife when she’s just trying to take you on a pure, romantic date?!]
[But ... but it’s been so long since I last touched her ...]
Primrose’s smile froze.
Too long?
What did he mean by too long?! Their first night had literally been just last week!
So her husband was actually an ultimate pervert, but at least he wasn’t acting like a wild animal who would force himself on his mate.
Forget about forcing her, he hadn’t even asked for anything. He just sat there silently, like a well-behaved dog.
But his thoughts?
Well, those were a completely different story.
[Her lips look so plump and red. I wonder if they taste like the strawberry she’s eating.]
Primrose had just taken a bite of her strawberry shortcake when she heard that.
She sighed inwardly.
Was she eating too seductively or something?
No ... probably not.
All she did was take a spoonful of cake and lick a bit of cream off her lips.
[Fuck. Why does she have to look so damn beautiful and sensual doing that?]
