Hold My Tear, I’m Getting My Wife Back!

Chapter 561

"Huh?"

"What do you mean 'huh'?" Austin said, his tone laced with a mix of amusement and exasperation. "Which part of what I said didn't you get? Let me break it down for you."

Joy didn't respond immediately, her silence hanging in the air. Austin waited for a moment before looking up, only to find her struggling to suppress a laugh.

"What's so funny?" he asked, genuinely puzzled.

Joy couldn't quite explain it herself. It was just that her lips seemed to have a mind of their own, curving upwards no matter how hard she tried to remain stoic. Her cheeks were defying gravity, refusing to be held down.

"I don't know, give me a sec, let me just laugh it out."

Austin couldn't for the life of him understand what had tickled her so much. Watching her trying to contain her laughter made him chuckle too, and he leaned back, joining in the amusement.

"Alright, laugh all you want, but if you dare say 'no', you're toast today."

Joy then sat up, crossing her legs and facing him, her eyes sparkling with mischief. Her giggles sounded like she'd just stumbled upon a treasure trove.

"Hey, Austin, are you secretly crushing on me?"

"Dropping the 'boss' already?" he teased.

"Watch your tone!" Joy suddenly adopted a more authoritative demeanor. "If you're thinking about dating me, you better get your act together. I'm quite the catch, you know."

"Understood," Austin replied with a grin. "Dear Miss Campbell, might I have the honor of calling you my girlfriend?"
