Flash Marriage: She becomes Mrs. CEO after the Failed Dowry Talk

Chapter 379: Unconventional Business

"Are we staying here tonight?"

Nora Northwood shook her head. To be honest, life on the sea made her feel insecure.

"Then let’s leave now."

"Is your business deal over?"

"Yes."

After a moment of silence, curiosity drove Nora to finally ask, "What kind of business? You seemed so tense."

"It’s very important and related to my parents."

At the mention of "parents," Nora stopped asking. She didn’t want to bring up anything that might sadden Jasper Sinclair.

After getting off the yacht, the two of them returned to a suburban mansion.

The servants had already been informed of the master’s arrival and had prepared in advance.

Everyone knew the master here was very particular.

"Sir, the water in the bathtub is at the right temperature as per your instructions."

The servant spoke English, and Nora struggled to understand half of it.

"Why is there water in the bathtub?" she asked Jasper in Chinese.

"You’re not fully recovered yet, and you were just out in the sea breeze on the yacht. A bath would feel nice."

This man was always so considerate.

Nora thought he could take back the apology he had just uttered.

Indeed, after a serious illness, the body craves warm places, and Nora spent at least half an hour in the bathroom.

When she came out, she found Jasper Sinclair taking a nap on the sofa.

With bare feet, Nora quietly approached him like a thief, leaving a trace of water droplets behind her.

She crouched beside his legs as if under a spell, silently observing his sleepy face.

Backlit by the light, his almost perfect features were cast in shadow, making his profile even more profound.

Recently, he had been flying from city to city without a moment’s rest.

Surely, his role was far more exhausting than being a lady of the house.

Lost in thought, Nora didn’t even notice when Jasper woke up.

"What are you thinking about?" His eyes were clear, not at all like someone who had just woken up.

"Thinking about you," Nora spoke honestly.

Jasper’s deep gaze lingered on her face for about half a minute before he pulled her up from the ground and pressed her tightly against his chest.

The sudden action elicited a muffled gasp from her.

When Nora came out of the bathroom, she was only wearing a thin robe.

The scent of her shower gel filled Jasper’s nostrils, and just a hug was enough to dispel much of his fatigue, truly the best recharging method for today’s young adults.

"Nora, I want to kiss you."

His words were so blunt that Nora inexplicably offered her lips to him.

She was embraced, confined, and deeply kissed by him.

The increasingly heavy breaths washed over their cheeks, and Nora clearly saw the desire in his eyes.

Suddenly, Nora felt a coolness on her chest.

She hurriedly raised her hand to shield it, but before she could fully react, she was lifted into the air and carried back to the bed.

The man’s thin lips traced from her brow bone, to her earlobe, down to her slender swan neck, and finally lingered at her most sensitive waist.

Nora’s waist was slim, with a graceful waist-to-hip ratio.

Jasper could easily wrap his hand around it without the slightest effort.

"Jasper, go take a bath."

Stopping midway was undoubtedly a kind of inhuman torment for Jasper.

"Let’s take one together."
