The Mind-Reading Mate Why Is the Lycan King So Obsessed With Me novel Chapter 72

Chapter 72: My Wife is Not Lazy!

Primrose gently swung her feet as she sat on Edmund’s bed. The bed felt a little different from the one she had used before.

Did he really change it after she ... accidentally dirtied it?

She quickly patted her warm cheeks, trying to get rid of the embarrassing thoughts spinning in her head.

She was here because she didn’t want to be alone during the storm, that’s all.

She wasn’t here to do anything inappropriate.

"I’ll change my clothes in the dressing room," Edmund said after picking up some clean clothes from the wardrobe. He seemed incredibly awkward around her, and Primrose could easily tell he was avoiding touching her at all.

Primrose quickly got off the bed. "I ... I don’t want to be left alone." She tugged gently at the hem of his clothes. "Can’t you just change here instead?" she whispered, eyes lowered. "It’s not like I haven’t seen your body before."

That’s right!

She had already seen every part of him, so why should she be embarrassed about Edmund changing in front of her?

"... Alright," Edmund replied hesitantly.

He walked toward the corner of the room, almost like he was trying to hide from his own wife, but to his surprise, Primrose quietly followed him like a little duckling following its mother.

"What’s the point of changing here if you’re going to stand so far away?" Primrose lowered her voice, biting her lip before softly adding, "Husband, the thunder really scares me."

The moment he heard those words, Edmund’s expression darkened.

It wasn’t because he was angry, it was because he had just realized his mistake.

[My wife needs me, yet I’m acting like a fool?! So what if she sees me changing? I’m not some shy maiden!]

"Then, I’ll stay," Edmund said firmly.

Without hesitating any longer, he took off his clothes right next to the bed. Even though he turned his back toward Primrose, he stayed close, making sure not to leave her alone.

His broad shoulders and the firm muscles on his back made Primrose swallow hard. No matter how many times she had seen him, she still couldn’t deny that he looked undeniably attractive.

But tonight, with the thunder rumbling outside, she wasn’t thinking about that.

Right now, all she wanted was simply to have her husband by her side.

"Do you always train every day?" Primrose asked, trying to break the silence and ease the awkwardness between them.

She quietly sighed in relief when Edmund finally put on a clean shirt.

"Yes. I train every morning in the training ground," Edmund replied while buttoning up his shirt. "I need to set a good example for my soldiers, so I can’t afford to slack off, not even for a day."

Primrose lowered her gaze, watching as her feet swung slowly since the bed was a little too tall for her. "That sounds tiring."

"Not really." Edmund finished buttoning his shirt and turned to face her. "After doing the same thing for years, it just feels like part of my daily life."

"I want to have a routine too," Primrose admitted quietly, finally gathering the courage to share her feelings. "I’ve been the queen of this kingdom for a while now, but you haven’t given me anything to do. If this continues, people might start calling me lazy."
