Chapter 296: He Went In
Nora Northwood was completely hidden within her oversized clothes, from afar, she looked like a Mage arriving on the wind.
She learned from Louis Hayes the hotel where Jasper Sinclair was staying, and directly took a taxi there after getting off the high-speed train.
"Hello Miss, please show your identification."
Nora was in such a hurry that she was stopped at the front desk for a brief registration.
Afterward, she entered the elevator.
Watching the numbers rising slowly, she couldn’t suppress the joy in her heart.
Due to this, she didn’t even notice when her ID dropped to the ground.
Fortunately, the sharp-eyed staff at the front desk prepared to return it to her, but her figure had already vanished from the lobby.
902.
Following the room number Louis Hayes had given her, Nora searched all the way to it.
At the corner, she happened to see Jasper Sinclair’s back, "Ah..." Just as she was about to call out the last word, she saw Diana Kidd’s profile.
Just like that, Nora witnessed her own man entering Diana Kidd’s room, which was clearly written on the business list handed by Louis Hayes.
He knocked on the door with his head down, his lips slightly curved upward, looking happy.
She stood there, her lips just barely pressing together, her expression was full of disbelief, her hands hanging at her sides tightly clenched into fists.
Jasper must have business, it must not be what I think, she comforted herself.
But even as her legs grew numb from standing, she waited for nothing.
For a long while.
Auntie doing the cleaning passed by here, asking her, "Do you need help?"
Thus, Nora’s thoughts were pulled back from disarray.
"No need, thank you."
She left the hotel, suddenly unsure of where she should go.
The staff at the front desk on night shift handed over Nora’s dropped ID to room 902.
Jasper Sinclair was initially stunned, thinking he accidentally packed her ID while organizing his luggage.
Until the staff notified him, "This Miss came by about half an hour ago."
In Jasper’s memory, he and Diana Kidd were chatting about proposal matters, completely unaware he was already noted in a small book.
Near eleven o’clock.
Jasper Sinclair waited for a long time without seeing a shadow of Nora, so he called her.
"Sorry, the number you dialed is currently on a call..."
Several calls went unanswered, even the messages sent seemed to disappear without a trace.
Jasper Sinclair was slightly anxious, he opened Nora’s phone location, discovering she was at the high-speed train station.
At this moment, Nora was dealing with applying for a temporary ID.
She didn’t know when the ID dropped nor had any way to find it, so she could only waste time here.
Ten minutes until checking the tickets, yet the temporary certificate application was still pending review.
Just as she was about to give up, a distinctly jointed hand appeared before her eyes.
Nora’s pupils dilated, scenes from a few hours ago flashed through her mind in frames, she moved her upper lip but couldn’t issue any words.
"Looking for this?" Jasper Sinclair’s tone was excessively gentle, no hint of anomaly detected.
Then he sat next to Nora, "Did something happen with VK? Why didn’t you answer my calls?"
Jasper Sinclair still did not realize the severity of the issue, even unaware of Nora’s sudden departure reason.
Nora attempted deep breaths to ease her emotions, she spoke slowly and clearly, "Jasper Sinclair, did you take the business trip to stay in other women’s rooms?"
As her words fell, Jasper Sinclair’s expression changed instantly.
Memories of the front desk staff’s words echoed in his mind, "Half an hour..." just when he went to Diana’s room.
He explained, "Nora, it’s not what you saw." As he spoke, his hand rested on Nora’s trembling shoulders.
Nora’s few remaining rational thoughts collapsed at this moment.
"I waited at the door for over ten minutes, what else could it be?"
