Flash Marriage: She becomes Mrs. CEO after the Failed Dowry Talk-Chapter 907: Home on Time Tonight

Why must you keep it a secret from her?

That night.

Jasper Sinclair, as if leaving a note behind, appeared on time in the dining room of the Crimson Hill Villa.

Nora Northwood refused to look at him out of spite. Instead of getting angry, he laughed, "You’ve gotten smarter now, you know how to follow me?"

There was no trace of nervousness in Jasper Sinclair’s demeanor; to him, it was just an ordinary matter.

Nora didn’t say a word.

It was indeed a challenging dilemma for Jasper, having to reassure her while keeping certain things to himself.

"Nora, what I’m currently working on, I can’t tell you yet. Maybe you’ll find out in two months. You can think of it as a surprise."

"A surprise?"

Nora was skeptical. Could she have wrongly accused a good person?

"Yes, the outcome will definitely be good. Do you trust me?"

"I trust you, but..."

"Since you trust me, there’s nothing to worry about."

It’s often said that one can be muddled during pregnancy. Nora was easily swayed by a few words.

Jasper, in high spirits, gave her a kiss.

Nora’s tongue teased, stirring deep longing and desire within him.

It had been a while since they had been so intimate.

Nora gently clenched her hand into a fist and rested it against Jasper’s chest.

She could clearly feel his heart pounding wildly.

"Nora, no one loves you more than I do."

This unexpected confession left her bewildered. She was already drowning in his tenderness.

...

The next day at noon, Nora carried two thermal containers and set off from the Crimson Hill Villa.

Jasper was surprised when he saw her. After a moment’s thought, he understood her intention.

"Checking up on me?"

A trace of embarrassment flashed in her eyes as her little scheme was uncovered. But soon, she cheerfully nodded and admitted, "Yes, Mr. Sinclair, what if someone else has their eyes on you?"

"No one does."

Listening to her playful banter made his heart itch, and he added, "I have a bit of work left. Can you wait for me?"

Soon after, an iPad appeared in Nora’s hands.

Feeling bored, she flipped through the English version of Peppa Pig on the iPad.

While Jasper was not paying attention, she discreetly surveyed the office.

Where should she place the voice recorder...

In the gaps of the sofa?

It might be discovered by the cleaning staff.

Behind the flower pot?

The lady who waters the plants would notice it.

After much contemplation, Nora chose the most obvious place. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

As the saying goes, the most dangerous place is the safest place.

Jasper’s office drawer.

But how was she going to place it there?

The once familiar space now felt daunting as she contemplated her mischief, making Nora anxious.

Luckily, Jasper’s mind was fully occupied with the important documents in his hand, oblivious to her peculiar behavior.

"Nora."

Nora was suddenly called by name, her heart skipped a beat in alarm, but she feigned calmness, "Are you done?"

"I need to step out for a bit. I’ll be back in a few minutes, and then we can have lunch."

"Okay."

Jasper was unaware of the joy blooming within Nora’s heart. This was exactly what she had been waiting for.

Then, she obediently nodded, "Then hurry back, I’ll wait for you."

With a blue folder tucked under his arm, Jasper left the office without looking back.

Nora didn’t rush into action. Instead, she stood in place, her expression tense, waiting for about a minute.
