Chapter 580: Watching the Sea at Night
Jasper Sinclair thought Nora Northwood wanted to snuggle against him, but unexpectedly, her hands reached towards him like claws.
"Nora, you wouldn’t give me something pink to wear, would you?" He could hardly believe his eyes.
She grinned mischievously, "Anyway, there’s only the two of us here, I promise no third person will see."
"Perhaps you’ve overlooked Uncle Yates."
"It’s early morning now, the old man has long since gone to rest."
In the end, Jasper couldn’t resist her and wore an exceptionally pink scarf.
The early morning sea breeze was strong; as soon as they stepped out, Nora’s bangs were blown askew, and the person beside her was no exception. They exchanged a glance and shared a knowing smile.
But the two who snuggled together didn’t feel cold.
Staring at the coastline just within reach, Nora asked a question, "Why didn’t you sign the divorce papers?"
"I never thought we’d come to the point of divorcing, before or now."
At this moment, Jasper profoundly realized that his issues shouldn’t repeatedly damage his relationship with Nora over insignificant outsiders.
"Have you never thought, what to do if I never forgive you?"
"As long as you don’t leave for far-off places, I will surely win you over, no matter how long it takes."
"Whose family fights for half a year!"
"My family."
The closer they got to the coastline, the stronger the sea’s fragrance became; Nora, with her keen sense of smell, sniffed at the salty air.
Suddenly, the footsteps beside her stopped, "Nora, I’ll carry you."
Speaking of which, Jasper had never experienced what it felt like to carry someone.
After speaking, he faced away from Nora and bent down.
Nora gazed at the man’s broad shoulders and slim waist, feeling a warm current in her heart.
This time after reconciling, Jasper had changed a lot.
In the past, although they admired each other, their actions were within the bounds of a middle-aged couple, rarely breaking norms or crossing each other’s boundaries.
Throughout the day, Nora distinctly felt him continuously softening and showing goodwill toward her.
Jasper noticed the person behind him was still motionless, kindly reminding, "I exercise every day, don’t worry about falling."
Nora chuckled and then placed her hands on his shoulders, using force to climb up.
She found the man’s back gave an even greater sense of security than his chest.
From then on, Nora couldn’t help but fall in love with this feeling.
The sound of waves crashing was clearer than it was indoors, leaving a long trail of footprints in the sand.
"Jasper, I thought I’d lose you."
Jasper couldn’t see her expression, but could tell from her tone she was choking up.
"Just a thought, it won’t become real." The man comforted her.
They walked so far that their house shrunk to the size of a palm before they stopped.
"You carried me a long way, are you tired?"
"Not tired."
Some people say they’re not tired, but their bodies are honest, as he plopped down on the beach.
For safety, they hadn’t gone too close to the seaside.
Nora tilted her neck, resting her head on Jasper’s shoulder, staring at the early morning sea, not as clear as in the daytime, as if splashed with dense ink, yet under the moonlight it sparkled.
