Chapter 208: Chapter 208: Removing Her Makeup
After a bout of passion ended, the room was still permeated with the heat of desire.
Lily hooked her slender jade-like fingers around the man’s waist and said coquettishly, "Take off my makeup, Jasper."
"Alright."
Soon, Jasper Sinclair brought over a bunch of bottles and jars.
Lily watched his somewhat clumsy demeanor, a smile that couldn’t be suppressed tugging at her lips.
Jasper asked her, "What’s so funny?"
"The rumors outside say the ruthless head of The Sinclair Group, now holding a bunch of little jars—doesn’t it feel a bit discordant?"
Next, Jasper scooped out a dollop of makeup remover cream, melted it in his palm, and gradually dissolved the makeup on Lily’s face.
"Will I look less pretty after I take off my makeup?" Lily mumbled.
"Our Nora has always been pretty."
Faintly, it took them back to when they first met.
He saw Lily’s face looking pure and clean, little did he know, the seed of his affection had already been planted then.
"I just found out today that Megan Underwood is quite popular, everyone was extending her invitations at the banquet."
"Why, are you worried she’ll run off with someone else?"
At this point, Lily’s eyes darkened, unsure of how to respond.
However, Jasper saw through her thoughts at a glance, "Lack confidence in yourself?"
Just then, after taking off her makeup, Lily sat cross-legged on the sofa, a slight worry tinged her small face, "Not entirely, after all, I have no experience in industry competition."
"You indeed have no experience, but you have talent. With your keen sense of scent, you can outshine the successors trained by the Perfumery House."
Jasper’s words undoubtedly helped Lily regain her confidence.
Feeling better, her appetite was aroused, she looked at Jasper with a sly grin, "I want a midnight snack, some crayfish!"
Jasper, who usually disliked spicy food, surprisingly agreed to her seemingly unreasonable request.
Until the takeout arrived at their home.
At the dining table, Jasper deftly put on disposable gloves, his fingers moving swiftly and smoothly as he peeled the shrimp, exuding a certain charm.
Lily looked on with adoration, "Has anyone ever told you you’re handsome when you peel shrimp?"
"Besides you, who would dare to make me peel shrimp."
Someone’s little vanity was greatly satisfied, making her more eager to quickly achieve success with VK, so she could walk alongside her beloved.
Lily didn’t want to always live under Jasper’s wing, so she repeatedly refused help.
"Suddenly realizing, married life is better than I imagined, and someone even peels shrimp for me." She laughed, handing a shrimp tail to Jasper’s mouth.
Jasper’s face visibly reddened for a moment, trying his best not to drink water to avoid embarrassing himself in front of his wife.
Lily was busy planning VK’s future blueprint and didn’t notice his unusual state.
Night.
Lily got up from bed again and again, running to the bathroom, secretly swearing: never to have a midnight snack again!
Jasper murmured in her ear, "Next time, eat something lighter." As he spoke, he placed his palm on her lower abdomen, gently massaging it.
Hearing the husky voice beside her, Lily knew Jasper was extremely tired, yet he was still massaging her belly, she felt deeply moved.
She turned, wrapped her arms around the man’s sturdy waist, and whispered, "I’ll listen to Jasper."
