Flash Marriage: She becomes Mrs. CEO after the Failed Dowry Talk-Chapter 764: Maybe We Should Separate
Yes, "anxious" is the word to describe Jasper Sinclair’s feeling at this moment.
The air around him congeals, exuding a bitter chill.
Under Jasper Sinclair’s intense gaze, Nora Northwood slowly begins to speak: "I’m not waiting for you to regain your memory anymore. The doctor said it’s uncertain how long it might take—one month, one year, or even ten years... it’s all possible. Every day you don’t recover, is another day I have to face your sharp criticism.
But you weren’t like this before. I admit, my heart feels a great sense of disparity, so much that I can’t accept the current you. So, I’ve made up my mind, we should separate."
Jasper Sinclair’s lips move slightly, yet no words come out.
He stares at Nora Northwood, as if trying to see through this person.
After an indeterminable amount of time, he finally asks a question: "Why did you like me before? Why choose to be with me?"
Nora Northwood carefully ponders this question, why was it exactly?
She remembers, at first, their relationship was merely a contractual marriage...
Later, she recalls Jasper shielding her many times; those moments of confusion when he pointed out the right path, guiding her step by step out of the fog; the times when he would stand up for her no matter what... too many, too many to clearly remember.
Those moments, ultimately, coalesce into one sentence: she says, "Because you love me genuinely, from your heart."
After answering, she still doesn’t understand why Jasper asked this question.
"I woke up in the hospital, and everything in this world feels unfamiliar to me, yet Peach Bell is different. As you said, during that saddest period, it was she who genuinely cared for me."
"What are you trying to say?" 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂
Nora interrupts his words, but he doesn’t get angry or upset, and continues his orderly explanation.
"I barely managed to return to how a normal person should be, then you suddenly appeared in front of me, mocking the person who whole-heartedly cared for me with sarcastic comments. Perhaps Peach Bell did something wrong, but the goodness she bestowed on me is tangible and unequivocally real."
Upon hearing this, Nora has understood Jasper Sinclair’s point.
In their world, her presence and appearance unquestionably played the role of a spiteful woman.
Everyone views things from their own perspective, and in this world, no one possesses a god-like perspective, leading to endless conflicts and frictions.
Nora nods, with a desolate curve pulling at the corner of her mouth.
Various complex emotions erupt in her mind.
She resignedly believes that the order in which people appear in one’s life is truly significant.
Back then, it was Grandma Sinclair who happened to encounter her, which is why she experienced two years of happiness.
If she hadn’t had a conflict with Christian Quinn that day, none of this would have happened, and when Peach Bell found the Sinclair Family, they would have naturally married and had children.
In the end, it’s all just an unrealistic dream.
Nora becomes increasingly mournful, and starts longing for the roadside flower shop.
...
Returning to Crimson Hill Villa, Nora Northwood makes a call to Raina Sinclair. Originally, she intended to call Grandma Sinclair, but the elderly woman’s health wasn’t good, and she didn’t want to trouble her.
Some things are better left unknown to grandma, and perhaps the outcome will be better.
"Aunt, there are some things I’ve been thinking about for a long time, and I feel it’s necessary to inform you. Jasper and I have decided to separate for a period of time."
