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

Chapter 661: Her Irrationality

Nora Northwood roughly calculated; if she drove to The Sinclair Residence now, what kind of scene would she witness?

Her rational mind made her believe Jasper Sinclair wouldn’t do anything to betray her.

Yet her emotions thought otherwise.

Twenty minutes passed.

Nora’s figure moved from Crimson Hill Villa to The Sinclair Residence, and the gate at the entrance silently opened.

Peach Bell, in a room upstairs, had been closely monitoring the movements downstairs.

The appearance of the Bentley was both unexpected and expected for her.

Everything was unfolding quietly according to Rachel Woodward’s plan.

It’s said that the person who knows you best, apart from a close friend, is your enemy, and this saying indeed held true.

Peach Bell calculated the time, rubbing the lipstick at the corner of her lips with her fingers, and unbuttoned the first button of her blouse.

She glanced back to see the person on the bed had already fallen into a deep sleep.

For a moment, Peach Bell felt her actions were utterly disgraceful and couldn’t even face her own heart.

But she only wanted to stay by Jasper Sinclair’s side.

From childhood to adulthood, her world had either the Sinclair Family parents or the young Jasper Sinclair.

Mr. Sinclair would always show her Jasper’s photos and tell her many interesting stories.

Since then, her thoughts about this person became uncontrollably deep and impure.

However, Peach Bell couldn’t name those feelings because she hadn’t experienced anything beyond "family affection."

Until she arrived in this unfamiliar city and felt a different warmth.

Once a seed is planted deep within, it cannot be prevented from rooting and sprouting.

No matter what means she used, even if they were shameful tricks, she didn’t hesitate, just to stay close to Jasper Sinclair.

Outside the door.

The sound of footsteps gradually pulled Peach Bell from her thoughts back to reality.

She completed the final step, pulling the hair tie from behind her head and throwing it on the bed, then walked out with cat-like grace.

She and Nora almost opened the door simultaneously.

The person outside was incredulous and nearly exclaimed, while the person inside looked innocent, with a tone of speech that considered Jasper Sinclair. Peach Bell said, "Brother Jasper drank some alcohol, and he’s just fallen asleep. I’ll head back to my room."

She said nothing about why she was in Jasper Sinclair’s room.

After she left, Nora leaned against the doorframe, her nose tingling, unable to recover.

Indeed, there was a faint smell of alcohol in the room; her keen sense of smell picked up on it despite its subtlety.

At the moment, she couldn’t bear to wake him up.

Although Peach Bell’s demeanor easily incited misunderstanding that something disgraceful might have happened in the room, Nora chose to trust Jasper Sinclair.

They had gone through so much together; he was willing to give her unconditional support, and she was willing to give him more trust.

Even seeing the hair tie on the pillow didn’t make Nora upset.

She placed it inside a drawer of the nightstand, meaning ’out of sight, out of mind.’

The faint smell of alcohol lingered around her, adding to her countless concerns, making sleep elusive.

Resolutely, she sat by the floor-to-ceiling window for a while.

That sit lasted an entire night.

Nora wasn’t sure if she had fallen asleep during that time, and it wasn’t until the dawn light appeared at the edge of the sky that she realized she had been sitting for a long time.

Something felt like it was about to explode in her head, causing her an unbearable headache.
