Chapter 55: Chapter 55: He’s a Junior Manager
Even though the question was directed at Lily, his gaze remained fixed on Nora.
But no one noticed anything unusual.
"You know very well that she loves mangoes the most." She said with exaggerated gestures, but quickly broke into a smile: "Perfect for Nora, Nora loves strawberries the most."
She cheerfully went to cut the cake.
Behind her, Aaron wore a cryptic expression, yes, Nora likes strawberries, otherwise how would he have known to buy them?
"Uncle, you’re not in a rush to leave?" Nora poured him a cup of warm water.
Whether it was the flower shop or something else, the subtle fragrance lingered in his nostrils as the air conditioning breezed by.
"Not at all, have you guys had lunch? If not, let’s have a meal together?"
"Uncle hasn’t eaten yet." Lily frowned as she spoke, noticing him nod and clicked her tongue: "Your partners are really stingy, can’t even treat you to a meal. Let’s go, let’s go, it’s perfect since Nora and I haven’t eaten either."
"You go ahead, I’ll stay and watch the shop, just in case a customer comes in."
Nora instinctively refused, not knowing if it was her imagination, but she felt a bit uneasy.
Lily wouldn’t take no for an answer, clinging to her arm without letting go: "No way, business can wait a bit, let’s go."
Half reluctantly, she ended up leaving with the two of them.
While they were eating, Aaron suddenly brought up Nora’s husband.
"What’s he do for a living?" He asked seemingly casually, but inside he was anxious.
Nora, unsuspecting, picked up some food with her chopsticks and replied, "Just an ordinary junior manager, not as impressive as Uncle."
She chuckled naively, not forgetting to compliment Aaron.
Lily chimed in at the right moment: "But boy, is he handsome, way more handsome than my favorite celebrities!"
Her expression was somewhat exaggerated, making Nora burst into a light laughter—no way it was that exaggerated.
The two girls chatted and laughed, not noticing Aaron’s momentarily grim expression.
While eating, Lily looked up, her sharp eyes catching sight of a group leaving nearby.
"Hey, Nora, isn’t that your husband?" she said, dumbfounded, pointing at the man at the door.
Nora was a bit curious; would Mr. Sinclair be here?
She looked over doubtfully, and indeed it was him, seemingly discussing business, but there was a woman beside him.
"Your husband?" Aaron’s expression was somewhat complex.
Surname Sinclair, a junior manager?
His eyes widened; isn’t that Jasper Sinclair, the head of the Sinclair family, since when did he become a junior manager?
Furrowing his brow, the first thing that came to mind was a marriage scam.
Perhaps Nora had been tricked into a marriage, but on second thought, it couldn’t be, he’s heard they had already registered for marriage.
There was only one possibility left, Jasper Sinclair was deliberately hiding his identity.
He let out a cold laugh, no wonder he was so averse to him last time.
"Uncle, do you feel unwell?" Nora turned around to face his shadowed expression.
"No, why not go greet your husband?" he asked seemingly nonchalantly.
Nora shook her head: "He’s working, I’ll see him when I get home tonight."
That woman was acting intimately with Mr. Sinclair, and for a moment, she didn’t know what their relationship was, it wouldn’t be good to cause a scene.
Aaron let out a silent snort; for the head of the Sinclair family to pretend to be a junior manager.
However, this just gave him more opportunities.
After all, Jasper Sinclair had been deceiving Nora from the start, Jasper Sinclair, it seems this time you’re destined to fail.
