Flash Marriage: She becomes Mrs. CEO after the Failed Dowry Talk-Chapter 813: Help Me Tie My Necktie

The torrential rain that lasted the entire night finally stopped at dawn.

The air was filled with the scent of damp earth, and the whole city had been washed clean by the rain.

Stanton City is a city where it rains in all four seasons.

Nora Northwood and Jasper Sinclair moved in sync, getting out of bed together.

The soreness in her waist reminded her of the tumultuous night, making her cheeks flush uncontrollably.

Jasper Sinclair changed his clothes without noticing her subtle expression.

Once the man was dressed, he suddenly called Nora’s name, saying, "Help me with my tie."

"Do it yourself."

Nora’s tone was indifferent, as she stood with her back to Jasper, choosing clothes in the walk-in closet. She was going on a work trip for a few days, with a flight at noon. She had to head to the airport once the morning rush was over.

"Pretending not to know me after a night together?"

"Cough... cough... Can you watch your words so early in the morning?"

"Aren’t I just stating the truth?"

Jasper looked innocent, thinking he hadn’t said anything wrong, just being honest.

Nora, worrying he might say something even more outrageous, reluctantly stopped what she was doing and turned to help him with his tie.

After some thought, she tied a Windsor knot suitable for business occasions.

During the tying, Jasper fixed his gaze on Nora without blinking.

Looking down, he saw the bluish-purple marks on her neck, evidence of their intimacy last night.

In fact, he was careful not to hurt her, not using too much force.

But Nora’s skin was so delicate that even the slightest pressure left marks of varying depth.

The Windsor knot was complete, and Nora looked at her handiwork with satisfaction, giving it a couple of pats.

Then she informed him of her business trip.

"Why didn’t you tell me earlier?"

Jasper showed his discontent with the last-minute notice, and it was strong.

Nora explained, "I’ve been overwhelmed with things recently and forgot. It’ll be just a short trip, I’ll be back in two or three days." 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

After explaining, she realized there was actually no need for an explanation.

Jasper’s voice sounded again from above her head, "When are you coming back? I’ll pick you up."

"I haven’t confirmed the return date yet. I’ll let you know when I have the news."

In the past two months, this was the first time they were apart in different cities.

Nora didn’t know Jasper was already considering going on the business trip with her.

Before heading down for breakfast, he gave her a kiss on the forehead.

Different from previous kisses, this one seemed to express his deep love.

But Nora knew his affection for her wasn’t as strong as before, so she didn’t respond or show any sign.

Uncle Kevin saw them coming downstairs one after the other, his face blooming into a smile.

Nora teased the old man, "Uncle Kevin, I see you’ve got wrinkles by your eyes. Next time, I’ll give you some of my eye cream."

Uncle Kevin quickly waved his hands, refusing, "I’m a rough man, no need for such refined things."

"Use it and you’ll look ten years younger. Next time you go to the park, I bet lots of old ladies will invite you to join them in square dancing."

"Oh, don’t tease me like that."

The restaurant was filled with the laughter of the elderly and the young. Seeing Nora happy, Jasper’s lips curled into a smile involuntarily.

It was undoubtedly a delightful morning.
