Flash Marriage: She becomes Mrs. CEO after the Failed Dowry Talk-Chapter 795: But He Doesn’t Like Me

As the meal was nearing its end, Nora Northwood put down the utensils in her hand.

She looked at the man across from her, her gaze suddenly becoming bland and devoid of flavor, as if scrutinizing a stranger she had met for the first time with ill intent.

Such a noticeable change, how could Jasper Sinclair not sense it?

He asked, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

Since he asked, Nora naturally answered, "We just signed a marriage contract, there’s no need for you to do these things, or perhaps, is there something else you need from me? Your recent attentiveness is really excessive."

Upon hearing this, Jasper Sinclair furrowed his brows, even his hand holding the fork subconsciously tightened with a bit more force.

Clearly, everything was fine just a second ago.

He explained calmly, "No ulterior motives, I simply want to be with you, perhaps it might speed up my memory retrieval."

"There’s no shortcut to physical problems, everything you’re doing is just in vain."

Nora had consulted authoritative brain experts a long time ago; besides waiting for the blood clot in Jasper’s brain to dissipate, there were no other solutions.

Her indifferent attitude stirred up anger deep inside the man’s heart.

Jasper stated bluntly, "I really don’t like your current lifestyle and tone."

"If you don’t like it, you don’t have to listen."

The previously harmonious and relaxed atmosphere instantly solidified.

In Jasper’s eyes, it was as if drenched with heavy ink, and after a moment, he calmed down, "If today’s dishes aren’t to your taste, next time we can switch chefs."

He was offering both of them a way to descend from the tension.

Nora also confirmed that he indeed had no other intentions, so she followed the way down, "Thank you for specifically hiring the chef, I really liked today’s lunch, but I have more important arrangements this afternoon and need to return to the company quickly.

"I’ll give you a ride."

"No need, The Sinclair Group has a lot of work that needs your personal attention; I don’t want to waste your time, we’ll meet again in the evening."

Jasper really disliked her sarcastic manner; rather than speaking like that, it would be better if she just cursed him a couple of times for real.

"Nora, what exactly are you dissatisfied with?"

"I’m satisfied with everything."

"So, you’re dissatisfied with me as a person?"

This time, Nora didn’t speak, which was tantamount to agreeing by default.

What made Jasper perplexed was that he had done things to please her, yet hadn’t received the positive emotional feedback.

...

When they left the restaurant, both of them had cold expressions on their faces.

Lily Sloan and the driver didn’t dare to breathe audibly.

Until the two groups parted ways at VK’s entrance, Lily Sloan came up to Nora Northwood gossipy, "What happened? Did he bully you again?"

Nora remained sullen, caught in extreme conflict.

"He didn’t."

"Then why do you look so unhappy?"

"He’s doing things to please me but I can feel that he doesn’t like me, he’s only doing these things to achieve some kind of result."

Nora couldn’t explain the matter of the contract too clearly to Lily Sloan, so she had to say it another way.

"How do you know that the current Director Sinclair doesn’t like you then?"

"Lily, we’ve shared a bed for more than two years, no one can be clearer about his likes and dislikes than me."

Lily Sloan sighed in awe, feeling that relationships between people and emotions are the most complex things in the world.
