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

Chapter 443: Utterly Unsettling

In the darkness, Nora Northwood’s eyes were exceptionally bright, she stared unblinkingly at Jasper Sinclair, setting a condition: "If you stay in my room, you must sleep soundly!"

In the man’s eyes, she looked unusually adorable.

Jasper Sinclair rolled his Adam’s apple, "Alright, sleep."

Though he was usually quite serious, his tone made people’s imaginations run wild.

Nora Northwood no longer looked at him, and after turning on the light, discovered that the thing that nearly tripped her just now was his suitcase.

Jasper Sinclair thought to himself: must give Louis Hayes a raise!

Having been busy all day, Nora Northwood was absolutely exhausted, wanting only a shower to end the day.

She grabbed her bathrobe and slipped into the bedroom, just about to close the door when it was caught by someone outside.

"Together."

Nora rolled her eyes, which couple argues and then bathes together!

She ignored Jasper Sinclair and continued her attempt to close the door, yet couldn’t match his strength and he slipped through.

The shower space was not large, just over ten square meters, making her breath uncontrollably quick in such a scene.

Nora Northwood turned on the showerhead, and the moment the water flowed out, she was pinned against the wall.

"Honey." Jasper Sinclair gripped her shoulders, his passionate kisses landed on her earlobe and ignited star-like tremors throughout her.

"Jasper Sinclair, you mustn’t!" Nora tried to resist his approach, but when she spoke, her voice was so softly seductive it penetrated to the bone.

"We’re married, this is our legal rights."

Jasper Sinclair’s kisses reached her lips, silencing her words.

Those broad palms slowly moved downward, awakening Nora Northwood’s last thread of reason.

She didn’t know where she got the strength, but she grabbed Jasper Sinclair’s wrist, "Things aren’t properly resolved, I’m uneasy inside."

She used the word "uneasy" to describe their desire.

Jasper Sinclair’s heart sank, with an urge to grasp yet unable to hold on.

He released Nora Northwood’s waist, meanwhile creating some distance between them.

The one leaning against the wall exhaled a long breath of relief, seeming freed.

The shower room had long since been filled with mist, making their outlines gradually blurry.

After a moment of silence, Jasper Sinclair said, "I’ll go out first, call me when you’re done, make sure to wear clothes before you come out, careful not to catch a cold."

"Clack—" the glass door closed.

After he left, Nora Northwood painfully closed her eyes, her heart already shattered beyond repair.

Two trails of tears streamed from her eyes, soon dissolving into the scorching water.

That night, the two lay side by side yet maintained a suitable distance, neither exceeding that invisible line of separation.

The Sinclair Group’s business in the country encountered a slight change, someone was plotting against Jasper Sinclair in secret, left with no choice, he needed to return ahead of schedule, unable to delay until Nora Northwood’s courses ended.

On the day of departure, he explained the situation thoroughly, afraid that Nora Northwood would have any misunderstandings about him.

Their relationship had already reached the verge of disintegration, unable to withstand any further scrutiny.

Three o’clock in the afternoon.

The plane took off, departing from New York’s airport.

In the cabin, Louis Hayes advised him, "Boss, your condition’s not good, you need rest, otherwise those old fossils at the board meeting will make a fuss again."

"Compile the percentage of each person’s share holdings, and hand it over to me as soon as possible."

"Alright."

The moment he said that, The Sinclair Group’s sky was likely to change again.
