Flash Marriage: She becomes Mrs. CEO after the Failed Dowry Talk Chapter 248: How About a Drink?

At noon, the two said their goodbyes and headed separately to The Sinclair Group and VK.

Nora sat in her office, her mind a chaotic ss.

She seldom saw Jasper so repressed; in her impressions, this man was cold and aloof most of the ti.

She stared at the ceiling for a while, and finally ca up with a good idea, quickly sending a ssage in their WeChat conversation.

"Co ho early after work today."

The other party quickly replied, "Okay, honey."

All afternoon, Nora seed a bit distracted.

gan Underwood leaned over, "It feels like you’re not in the zone today, is sothing on your mind?"

"Indeed, a bit. Jasper’s mood hasn’t been great lately, and I’m wondering how to comfort him."

gan simply assud they had a problem in their emotional communication and gave a suggestion: "Sotis, n need nurture too. Although President Sinclair looks all cool like he’s the best, there’s still a little boy inside him."

Nora’s almond-sized eyes flickered, nodding as if she might understand. "I think I understand a bit now, thank you for the advice, gan!"

"Head ho early, reflect on it deeply, and co to anyti if you have questions."

"Understood!" Nora exhaled deeply, leaving work early and heading back to Southwood Court.

She estimated the ti and thought Jasper should be ho soon.

Before the man returned, she ordered barbecue and two dozen beers for delivery.

As soon as Jasper entered the ho, he was greeted by the savory aroma of barbecue filling the living room.

Though he didn’t usually prefer strongly flavored food, his stomach had already reacted.

"Jasper, you’re back!" Seeing him return, Nora launched herself at him, giving him a big bear hug.

"Honey, what are you up to at ho?"

"Waiting for you to co ho to drink."

The two maintained their bear hug as they sat down on the couch.

"I’ve seen that when others are feeling down, they like to drink to vent their emotions. I’ve bought so drinks and barbecue that goes with it, so we can eat and chat."

As she spoke, Nora had already climbed off him and filled two glass cups full of amber-colored beer.

"Jasper, I’ll double the love you’re missing." With those words, Nora was the first to down a glass.

She didn’t think her drinking capacity was poor, plus, being at ho ant there were no safety concerns, so she kept drinking one glass after another.

Jasper also didn’t wish to remain repressed any longer, opening up as if he were starting a conversation: "I envy others having parents. Every ti Louis Hayes returns from his hotown, he brings homade specialities from his family. I long to eat food made by my parents too."

As he spoke, Nora quietly rembered.

In the end, Nora even wondered if their ability to quickly get close might be due to similar experiences.

They both lacked the love of their childhood, and now, they were mutually redeeming each other.

That night, Jasper was drunk beyond recognition, but Nora retained a final shred of sanity, hauling him back to the bedroom.

In her limited clarity, she loosened Jasper’s tie and unbuttoned the top two buttons of his shirt.

When she turned off the lights, soone tugged her from behind, and she heard a murmured voice: "Honey, don’t leave ..."

Nora felt a joyful warmth in her heart, and whispered, "I won’t."

Then, with a "click," she turned off the lights, embraced Jasper, and fell asleep; the bedroom fell into complete silence.

Moonlight poured down, filtering through layers of white gauze, landing on their profiles. Shadows overlapped, drawing them closer in the invisible space between.
