Flash Marriage: She becomes Mrs. CEO after the Failed Dowry Talk-Chapter 814: No Message From Him All Night

During the days Nora Northwood was on a business trip, Jasper Sinclair stayed alone at Crimson Hill Villa.

Without someone by his side, he found himself unable to fall asleep.

Jasper Sinclair tossed and turned, wondering if he should prepare some surprises for her when picking her up.

For the first time, he realized his longing for Nora had gone beyond his understanding.

...

By the time Nora Northwood arrived in Germany, it was already the early hours of the morning.

The sky looked like it had been inked over, the land desolate, and there was hardly a soul on the streets.

She and Lily Sloan each dragged a small suitcase, appreciating the night view on their way to the hotel.

In the enclosed space, everyone was silent, even the sound of car horns was scarce.

Lily Sloan thought Nora had fallen asleep against the window and deliberately dimmed her phone’s brightness.

The name in her chat window showed Finnian Lawrence.

She told him they had just arrived in Germany and were headed to the hotel.

On the other side, Nora, leaning against her seat, was gazing out the window, seemingly lost in thought.

"Lily."

The sudden voice startled Lily Sloan, almost making her drop her phone.

She patted her chest and said, "I thought you were asleep."

"No," Nora replied, rolling down the car window, her hair gently swaying in the breeze, "Are you messaging your boyfriend?"

"Yes, I told him we just landed."

"Finnian Lawrence stays up this late?"

"He usually sleeps early. He was waiting for me to check in and make sure I was okay."

The scent of love filled the car.

Just then, the car gave a little shake, and Nora unlocked her phone’s screen.

The screen’s light reflected off her cheek, like a soft highlighter.

It’s been ten hours since she left Stanton City, yet Jasper Sinclair hadn’t sent her a single message.

While pondering, the taxi already stopped at the hotel entrance.

They checked in at the front desk and received their room keys.

The project inspection would start at nine in the morning, meaning they had eight hours to rest and adjust to the time difference.

Nora reviewed the research team’s member profiles and noticed there was a Ph.D. with the last name "Sinclair."

In a foreign country, a familiar name sparked her thoughts.

"Nora, look at this!"

Lily Sloan’s excited voice disrupted her thoughts.

They were both surprised to find out that the hotel they were staying at used VK’s products for aromatherapy.

This discovery was undoubtedly delightful.

The happiness lasted for nearly an hour before the tiredness took over the two young women.

It was Nora’s first time accompanying a research team for a project inspection, and she took the work very seriously.

To ensure they wouldn’t miss any part of the itinerary, they set an alarm two hours early.

Germany’s early morning was as silent as the dead of night.

Nora freshened up, applied simple makeup, and wore clothes convenient for movement.

There was still no message from Jasper Sinclair on her phone.

Nora quietly told herself to set aside matters back home and focus on work.

In the mirror, she forced a slightly strained smile and loudly asked Lily Sloan, who was in the bathroom, "Honey, are you ready?"

"Putting on lipstick, give me a minute."

In that minute, Nora changed into her shoes, a pair of off-white ankle boots, both sharp and playful.
