Flash Marriage: She becomes Mrs. CEO after the Failed Dowry Talk
Chapter 835: Your Gift Is Too Expensive
CHAPTER 835: CHAPTER 835: YOUR GIFT IS TOO EXPENSIVE
"What if she can’t be found?" Elaine asked with heartfelt concern.
"If there’s really no result, I’ll have to give up. I can’t possibly search for her my entire life."
In front of Elaine, Jasper Sinclair maintained a respectful attitude towards elders, which wasn’t too unpleasant.
"How much longer do you plan to look for her under the current circumstances?"
"A month, perhaps. We’ve already learned she’s in Stanton City. If after a month we still can’t deal with the trafficking gang, then we’ll give up."
"Alright, one month then. Don’t let my daughter down."
The conversation between the two went smoothly.
In the end, Elaine agreed to help Jasper Sinclair stabilize Nora Northwood’s emotions, at least, ensuring it wouldn’t lead to divorce.
...
In the following period, Nora Northwood remained at Elaine’s place.
Jasper Sinclair’s high-profile search for a woman had already become a topic in Stanton City’s high society.
His methods, as sharp and decisive as before his amnesia.
Everyone speculated about who this mysterious person might be, who could make the Sinclair Family search so extensively.
Nora Northwood usually didn’t care about anything beyond herself, but she overheard Vincent Morgan mention it once, so she curiously asked: "How come after all this time, she hasn’t been found yet?"
"If nothing unexpected happens, she might have met her end."
"What do you mean?"
"Your man is putting pressure on governments everywhere, and the trafficking gang is nearly broken up. At this point, if Peach Bell hasn’t been released, do you think she’s still alive?"
Hearing this, Nora Northwood gasped, her heart pounding and unable to calm down.
Is Peach Bell dead?
This outcome was beyond Nora’s comprehension.
She thought that a severe bone fracture was already the most severe punishment for Peach Bell.
Seeing her uneasy demeanor, Vincent Morgan said no more.
Around mid-September, Jasper Sinclair once again arrived at Elaine’s residence.
This time, he wasn’t empty-handed, nor did he intend to leave empty-handed.
He brought a pair of Earl platinum wedding rings, the rings inlaid with black ceramics, neutral and versatile.
The rings were placed in a red velvet box, giving a strong sense of ceremony.
Elaine found an excuse to leave the living room, leaving the remaining space for the two of them to be alone.
"Nora, try them on and see if they fit."
Under the incandescent light, Jasper Sinclair opened the red velvet box, and the diamonds on the rings gleamed blindingly.
He attempted to take Nora Northwood’s hand, but she dodged, refusing, "This gift is too precious, better put it away for now."
With that, Nora’s gaze slowly moved from the ring box to Jasper Sinclair’s face.
She silently sighed: This man certainly has a good-looking face.
The light reflected off the rings cast shadows on his jawline, making his features appear even more defined.
Nora lowered her eyes again, her thick eyelashes masking the emotions in her eyes.
The rejected man didn’t get upset or angry.
In a coaxing tone, he continued, "If you don’t want to accept my gift, how about coming back home with me? This place is not as cozy as Crimson Hill Villa. Haven’t you been sleeping well at night? I noticed your dark circles have deepened. I also bought you a new eye cream at home, we can try it together when we get back, okay?"
Eye cream?
At that moment, Nora Northwood’s expression showed a hint of relaxation. He actually knows what eye cream is?
So, she asked, "What brand is the eye cream?"
Once asked, Jasper Sinclair was caught off guard.
