Flash Marriage: She becomes Mrs. CEO after the Failed Dowry Talk Chapter 833: I Came to Take You Home
Elaine was very happy about her daughter’s arrival.
The past separations always made her feel that she hadn’t given Nora Northwood enough.
So, when Nora treated her as a pillar of support, she thoroughly enjoyed the feeling.
"Nora, Mom learned a new dessert recipe recently. I’m going to make it for you tonight."
"Mom, it won’t be so weird dish, will it?"
"If you say that, my baking teacher will be very upset."
The mother and daughter didn’t ntion the reason for Nora’s hocoming, seemingly intentionally avoiding it.
The joyful atmosphere continued until the walk after dinner the next day.
Elaine, facing her daughter, couldn’t hold back her thoughts anymore. That first night had been the limit of her patience.
On the second night, she finally couldn’t sit still, "Nora, did you and Jasper have a fight?"
Previously, Nora never spent the night at Elaine’s apartnt.
Even during occasional quarrels, Jasper Sinclair would always pick her up before dinner ended.
This ti, seeing Nora’s stance, it seed she planned to stay for a while.
Nora deflected the topic, avoiding the question, "I’m just spending so ti here with you. You won’t mind being chatty, will you?"
"How could I mind my darling daughter? It’s just that... you need to let Mom know what’s going on right now."
"I might be entering nopause early, always finding Jasper Sinclair annoying. To prevent a rift in our relationship, I ca out to avoid him for a bit."
Nora, half-jokingly, tried to brush Elaine off. She didn’t want her mother to worry too much.
That night, she didn’t receive any ssages from Jasper Sinclair.
Before falling asleep, Nora repeatedly refreshed the interface of WeChat. Their last dialogue remained idle from a week ago.
She tossed and turned in bed.
The screen dimd and lit up repeatedly, her actions repeating over a dozen tis.
With one minute left before eleven, two very brief vibrations occurred.
Nora jolted, lifting her head from the pillow.
Seeing the "sleep reminder" displayed on the screen, her heart sank to the bottom.
A faint sigh echoed through the air, so subtle it was almost inaudible.
All kinds of complex emotions intermingled in Nora’s heart.
In the endless wait, her upper eyelids gradually drooped uncontrollably.
Nora didn’t even know when she fell asleep, only that Jasper Sinclair hadn’t contacted her for over twenty-four hours.
On the last working day of the week, she left for work as usual.
As soon as Nora closed the door, a familiar figure caught her eye.
In the early morning, the sun stood high in the sky.
The glaring sunlight was dazzling, casting Jasper Sinclair’s shadow on the ground, extending it to an imnse length.
He wore a suit ticulously hand-sewn by a French artisan tailor, its fabric sophisticated, distinguishing different layers under the sunlight, making him look exceptionally noble.
His gaze was focused, resting on Nora’s face, refusing to move away.
After being stunned for three seconds, Nora recomposed her expression, hiding her mont of delight, and asked, feigning calm, "Why are you here?"
The distance was still a bit far, preventing Jasper from noticing the subtle changes in her expression.
"I’ve co to take you ho."
"This is my ho too," Nora insisted, determined to play a ga of semantics.
