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

Chapter 628: Stolen Leisure in a Busy Life

Nora Northwood was drawn by the fragrant aroma in the room and took a seat, her expression exceptionally animated.

"Uncle Yates’ skills look pretty decent," she praised generously.

...

After dinner, Nora dragged Jasper Sinclair to the walk-in closet.

In a hundred square meters of space, it was filled with clothes, shoes, and jewelry, including both couture and niche brands.

Jasper asked her, "Want to change clothes?"

The sky was darkening, and changing clothes at this time was indeed not a wise move.

While fiddling with her skirt, Nora answered, "I want to change into a little dress, to enjoy the sea breeze and look for some design inspiration."

Ever since the expo ended, she had been lacking inspiration and hadn’t produced anything decent; continuing like this would surely not work.

She quickly selected two dresses and asked the man leaning by the closet door, "Which one looks better?"

Jasper leisurely looked at her, motioning towards a pearl-white dress with his mouth.

The strapless design with slender pearl chains on both sides of the arms would make anyone wearing it immensely resemble the goddess Athena.

Seizing the moment before the temperature dropped, the two headed to the seaside.

Employing extremely clumsy photography skills, Jasper took a few photos of Nora.

As netizens would say, she had already grown into someone who looked good in photos!

The two enjoyed a few days of leisure until they received a "wedding invitation," prompting them to decide to return to the city early.

It was the wedding of Autumn Sanford and Heath Hamilton, who grew up together with Jasper Sinclair; they were admired within their circle as a model couple.

Both families had booked a hotel on Seraphina Isle, where prominent figures from Stanton City gathered.

The wedding’s grand scale compelled everyone to treat it seriously; people weren’t afraid of upstaging the bride but feared being inadequate and disgracing their family name.

The bride and groom warmly welcomed everyone and graciously accepted each congratulatory message.

Lily Sloan attended with her parents from the Sloan Family.

She wore a beige dress with embroidery that was handmade, making it a rare find on the market.

A Peace Pendant around her neck subtly balanced her vitality, giving her a unique charm.

Lily hadn’t seen Finnian Lawrence for half a month; even when collaboration needed face-to-face meetings, she found excuses to send other colleagues.

She hadn’t expected to meet at the wedding.

More surprisingly, Finnian Lawrence wasn’t there as a guest but as a groomsman.

When he saw Lily at her seat, his gaze briefly paused without lingering or deeply scrutinizing.

When Lily looked at him, he quietly withdrew his gaze, as if nothing had happened.

The girl’s expression turned somber.

What did she mean to him after all?

In her many moments of melancholy, someone grabbed her wrist—it was Nora, coming over to chat: "Lily, have you lost weight again recently? This dress really suits you!"

Nora diverted her attention by chatting about some topics and activities that girls are generally interested in.

Soon, Lily’s eyes regained their sparkle.

Yvonne Winslow attended the wedding as Rhys Linden’s date. After the boring luncheon ended, the three girls snuck out of the banquet hall, chatting carefreely by the fountain.

Lily seemed to be stirred in some way, the curve of her lips collapsing sadly as she sighed, "Everyone is so happy; turns out I’m the only one longing for unattainable love."
