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

Chapter 653: One More Meal Tonight

Nora Northwood rubbed her eyes, a slender eyelash couldn’t withstand her rough motion and fell beneath her eyelid.

In a soft voice, she said, "Sitting for too long makes my back hurt."

After speaking, she caught a glimpse of the subtle, unclear amusement in Jasper Sinclair’s eyes, but she hadn’t responded yet.

People just waking up are always slow to react.

Nora stretched out her arms, like a girl being coy, which melted Jasper’s heart.

He shifted his seat closer to Nora, feeling her arms wrap around his waist.

Naturally, he rested his chin on her sharp shoulder, using his short hair to nuzzle her cheek.

Before they could indulge in each other’s company for long, Yvonne Winslow’s call came through.

"Director Nora, after a couple days of enjoying yourself, you finally decided to come back!" She had somehow learned of Nora’s return to the country.

"I brought you a gift. Come to my office when you’re at work tomorrow."

Yvonne reminded her, "Tomorrow and the following day are the weekend, so you might not see me."

After chatting casually on the phone for a bit, she addressed the main reason for her call.

"Remember to check your email; there are a few project proposals that need your approval."

"Okay, I’ll take a look shortly."

When Nora opened her email, she found dozens of unread emails piled up in the list.

Due to the delayed progress, she and Jasper’s candlelight dinner had to be canceled last minute, leaving Uncle Kevin to kindly cook two bowls of plain noodles for them.

Uncle Kevin happily obliged, even adding soft-boiled eggs and slices of ham to the bowls.

Nora’s eyes strained from reviewing the proposals, forcing her to apply a few drops of eye drops and pull out Jasper’s blue-light-blocking glasses from the drawer, settling them on her nose.

Her head was small, causing the frames to wobble, requiring her left hand to keep the edge in place to prevent them from falling.

After dealing with this, it was already approaching midnight.

She apologized to Jasper, saying, "Sorry for making you starve with me."

"We’ll have another meal soon enough."

Hearing this, Nora playfully slapped his shoulder, calling him improper.

Once the clock struck twelve, Nora was lying sideways on the bed.

She wore a cotton nightgown, with sleeves rolled up in several folds, exposing her fair fingers and wrist, sparking the imagination.

The man on the other half of the bed was in the shower, blow-drying his hair, the faint sound of the hot air dryer could be heard.

When he came out, Nora was drowsily about to fall asleep, feeling a sudden embrace around her waist.

A warm palm traveled downward from her waist, finally resting on her hip.

Jasper asked in a husky voice, "How should I make up for it?"

Before Nora could turn around, she heard a rustle from beneath the covers, followed by the clothes on her body being deftly removed by his fingers.

Her body shuddered and she nestled closer into Jasper’s embrace.

Jasper lifted her leg, forcing her to straddle his waist.

Suddenly recalling something, he teasingly asked her, "Sitting for too long makes your back hurt, right?"

This ’sitting’ was not the same as ’doing’, those who understand would feel embarrassed afterwards.

Nora’s breath, rapid and warm, brushed against his chest, her tender hands tightly gripping his shoulders, producing a series of soft moans from her throat intermittently.

Soon after, she offered her rosy lips willingly.

In the sultry room, they intertwined, sucking gently on each other.

Ultimately, Nora closed her eyes involuntarily, her mind completely held in Jasper’s control, letting him guide her.
