Flash Marriage: She becomes Mrs. CEO after the Failed Dowry Talk-Chapter 999: Telepathy Between Husband and Wife

"The bathtub is filled with water at just the right temperature. I’ve set a ten-minute timer for you. Have a soak and then go to sleep."

Nora Northwood is lying at the foot of the bed, struggling internally about whether to take a bath now or later.

Jasper Sinclair has already set the alarm, and seeing that she’s not moving, he leans over and asks, "Do you need help getting undressed?"

Even though it’s an extremely bold statement, when it comes out of Jasper Sinclair’s mouth, it’s as though he’s just asking, "Have you eaten?"

Nora turns over, avoiding looking at him.

"Go to the cloakroom and fetch me a nightgown."

"Alright."

Adhering to the principle of "listening to your wife leads to prosperity," Jasper Sinclair straightens up and goes to the cloakroom to pick out a silk nightgown.

The sleeves of the nightgown have rabbit fur, and there’s a circle of pink diamonds at the neckline.

This is Nora’s recent favorite.

"How did you know I wanted to wear this one?"

"Couples have a mutual understanding."

Nora deliberately makes a disgusted expression.

"What kind of face is that?"

"Can’t stand hearing you talk sweetly."

Jasper Sinclair, dressed sharply in a suit, seems too serious to be someone who talks sweetly.

"I have some things to deal with. Hurry and take your bath."

In the time they’ve been dilly-dallying, three minutes have already passed.

While Nora is bathing, Jasper Sinclair makes a phone call. The person on the other end is Louis Hayes.

"How is Jenson Sinclair doing?"

"He has already taken two doses of His9, and based on today’s observations, nothing unusual has been noticed."

"The old man is back, and when the second family realizes Jenson Sinclair is missing, they’ll definitely stir up a fuss. Be prepared."

Grandpa Sinclair’s unexpected return was unforeseen for Jasper Sinclair.

As the eldest grandson in the family, Jasper understands Grandpa Sinclair’s character well.

Grandpa Sinclair dislikes seeing disharmony among the younger generation. Last year, the old man specially took time out of his busy schedule to call him, reminding him not to let brotherly relationships become too strained.

The family’s scheming and plotting inevitably affect the overall fortunes.

That’s why Jasper Sinclair has shown mercy to Jenson Sinclair.

If Jenson hadn’t been reckless and focused on Nora Northwood, perhaps a series of troubles wouldn’t have been triggered.

This time, even with Grandpa personally involved, Jasper Sinclair will ensure this cousin faces serious consequences.

Only after receiving a real lesson will Jenson Sinclair dare not act recklessly again.

After handling the first matter, Jasper Sinclair inquires about the research institute’s progress.

Everything is going smoothly; Professor Bishop hasn’t secretly met with Damien.

For Professor Bishop, Damien’s call of "Dad" hasn’t had any substantial impact.

Jasper Sinclair is momentarily puzzled by Professor Bishop’s intentions. Meanwhile, Louis Hayes continues to investigate the relationship between the two.

A rough estimate puts Damien’s age similar to Nora Northwood’s.

Even if she and Professor Bishop have a father-daughter relationship, it’s a situation from over twenty years ago, and verifying it is extremely challenging.

Unless both parties agree to undergo a paternity test.

Jasper Sinclair’s concern isn’t about their blood relationship.

He’s only worried whether their reunion may threaten his acquisition of the His9 antidote.

If it doesn’t, they can do as they please.

As Jasper Sinclair delves deeper into contemplation, the woman’s phone on the bedside table starts buzzing.
