Flash Marriage: She becomes Mrs. CEO after the Failed Dowry Talk-Chapter 765: She’s Deliberately Avoiding Him

"What did Jasper say to you again?"

Raina Sinclair used a very subtle "again," indicating that she had already learned everything that had happened in Melbourne from Tanya Jennings.

Nora Northwood curled up in the lazy chair, tucking her body into a ball.

Unfortunately, she was too slender.

Through the phone, he recounted the words Jasper Sinclair had personally spoken, in as calm a tone as possible, and added an extra sentence at the end: "In his eyes, I am already a very malicious woman, so there’s no need to force it any further."

"Nora."

"Aunt, I know you would certainly advise me not to act impulsively, so I made thorough mental preparations before making this call to you.

"I do want to advise you, but I also understand that Jasper is someone who values emotions deeply. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have developed special feelings for Peach Bell because of her care."

"Yeah."

"He didn’t decisively choose Peach Bell, he returned to Stanton City with you, didn’t he?"

For a long while, Nora didn’t answer this question.

...

After the call ended, Nora remained curled up in the lazy chair, not changing her posture for a long time.

She didn’t leave the second floor all evening, and dinner was personally delivered by Uncle Kevin.

She intentionally avoided Jasper Sinclair, fortunately, the villa was spacious enough.

In the coming period, Nora focused on VK, frequently leaving early and returning late, sometimes not encountering Jasper for two or three days.

She seemed like a completely new person, making people feel very unfamiliar.

Within the unfamiliarity, there was also unease.

June was more than half over, about to usher in the first festival of the second half of the year, the Dragon Boat Festival.

Grandma Sinclair, unaware of the conflict between the couple, enthusiastically invited Nora home for the holiday, just like previous years, to eat zongzi and burn wormwood leaves.

After Grandma Sinclair, Lily Sloan made the second call to Nora.

"Lily, what’s up?" 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

She closed the newly opened laptop and listened attentively to the other party.

Lily Sloan’s tone was full of extreme anger, "Nora, let me tell you! I ran into Peach Bell while shopping today, and she was bragging to her girlfriends about being with Director Sinclair. It’s just shameless!"

"Is that so."

Nora didn’t seem to show much emotion; over the phone, she couldn’t clearly feel it.

Lily Sloan, busy being angry, didn’t notice anything unusual, and continued: "She’s so full of herself now, if you don’t go and take her down a peg, she’ll trample all over you!"

"Alright, I understand. Thanks, dear Lily, for telling me. You’re the one who cares about me the most."

Although these words didn’t have a practical effect on Nora, emotional value had to be offered.

She understood Peach Bell’s actions; who wouldn’t flaunt if they snagged a handsome and wealthy bachelor?

After ending the call, Nora reopened her laptop and immersed her thoughts in work.

She stayed in the study until past eleven, when her thirst became unbearable. As she went downstairs to find water, she was startled to see Jasper Sinclair sitting solemnly on one end of the sofa.

"You made no sound at all. Sitting there like that, who are you trying to scare to death?"

After saying this, Nora didn’t expect Jasper Sinclair to respond, continuing to pour herself some water.

However, she could feel that the man’s gaze remained fixed on her.
