Flash Marriage: She becomes Mrs. CEO after the Failed Dowry Talk-Chapter 805: She Was Resented by the Young Girl
After speaking, Nora Northwood felt it wasn’t specific enough, so she added, "From start to finish, I haven’t voiced any opinion on this matter. If you don’t believe me, you can go back and ask the Jacobs Family."
Her attitude was relatively friendly.
It was rare for her to be so calm when facing Jasper Sinclair.
Peach Bell was both angry and embarrassed, already crying to the point of being out of breath.
Nora couldn’t stand the sight of a young girl crying, so she directly asked Uncle Kevin to take her away.
The sound of sobbing gradually faded away, and the young girl’s constantly trembling shoulders slowly disappeared at the corner of the stairs.
When she was completely out of sight, Nora withdrew her gaze, not looking at the man in the study, and went straight back to the bedroom.
The villa returned to tranquility.
Jasper Sinclair, in the study, waited for a long while but still didn’t see Nora.
He cursed under his breath: Such an ungrateful little brat.
The reason the study door wasn’t fully closed was that he deliberately left a crack.
He guessed that Nora would be home around this time and was worried that she would misunderstand his private meeting with Peach Bell, hence the little eavesdropping scene earlier.
He waited until the sun set before leaving the study.
Returning to the bedroom, he found Nora wasn’t there either.
Jasper pressed his fingers against his temples in frustration, unsure how to soothe his wife.
After going downstairs, he caught Uncle Kevin, "Where’s madam? Where is she?"
"Dining in the restaurant."
Uncle Kevin was also puzzled; he hadn’t seen any emotion on madam’s face that would indicate she was angry. Why were the two still at odds?
As soon as he finished speaking, there was nothing left in front of him but a blur.
When Jasper stood by the dining table, Nora was calmly putting a piece of bass in her mouth.
The bass was coated with tomato sauce, leaving a dab of red at the corner of her lips.
"Heard everything just now?" Jasper asked.
This question indirectly confirmed Nora’s suspicions.
Jasper was always cautious and had the habit of closing doors, leaving no chance for anyone to eavesdrop.
The only possibility was that this was deliberate.
"It was obviously meant for me to hear, how could I not?" Nora smiled faintly, her eyebrows curved, but the smile didn’t reach her eyes.
Jasper frowned, a hint of dissatisfaction flickering in his eyes.
Was she suggesting he was scheming?
Initially, he intended to take credit, but being snapped at, the words got stuck in his throat, and suddenly he couldn’t say anything. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮
Jasper reached out and gently pinched Nora’s fingers.
"Nora, do you really not care at all?"
Nora didn’t speak, calmly pulling her hand away from his grasp.
An overwhelming sense of defeat spread from Jasper’s heart, as if he had reached a dead end.
He turned and went to the balcony.
Producing a pack of cigarettes from who knows where, Jasper leaned his head and lit one.
The flame, cupped in his hand, illuminated his features briefly; once the cigarette was lit, the flame died down.
He stood in a shirt made of graphene-scented fabric, aligned with the crescent moon in the sky.
When Nora reached the balcony, this was the scene that greeted her.
In the early autumn, he stood against the moonlight, his expression hidden in shadows, making it hard to read, allowing only the silhouette to be seen clearly.
He seemed deeply troubled.
Nora approached step by step, passing the transparent glass of the floor-to-ceiling window, she saw her own expression.
