Chapter 125: Chapter 125: She’s Not That Little Girl Anymore
"Nora, if we’re going to collaborate, our Oceanic Inc. will naturally draft the contract, this part of yours..."
"Uncle, I know that if Oceanic Inc. drafts the contract, you’ll definitely take care of me so that I benefit more, and precisely because of this, I choose to draft the contract myself."
Nora Northwood interrupted Aaron Lowell.
After much consideration, she refused the Sinclair Family’s subsidiary’s contract, not entirely because of Jasper Sinclair.
Most of what Oceanic Inc. deals with are cosmetics and perfumes, so the factories are more compatible with her products.
Her eyes were serious and earnest, and this time Aaron Lowell couldn’t say anything more.
He pressed his lips together, nodded, and agreed.
Lily Sloan stared intently at her uncle from the side, afraid he might do something inappropriate,
Seeing her like this, Nora couldn’t help but find it amusing, raising her hand to hold her little hand.
After a while, she took a deep breath and said, "Uncle, I may be speaking presumptuously, but I’m already married and won’t consider accepting any other feelings. Thank you, Uncle, for your kindness."
Things needed to be clarified for the cooperation to proceed, beneficial for both Oceanic Inc. and her.
Aaron Lowell’s eyes showed a hint of hurt.
When he looked up again, the sorrow in his eyes made one feel a bit sorry for him.
"Nora, Jasper Sinclair has actually been deceiving you all along!"
"I’ve already found out, Uncle. He indeed shouldn’t have done this, but we are still a married couple, and I need to be responsible for this marriage."
She said earnestly, though just the thought of Jasper Sinclair made her uncomfortable.
No matter how wealthy the Sinclair Family is, that’s not what she wanted from the beginning.
A wave of sadness filled her heart, but on the surface, she had to act as if nothing happened.
Aaron Lowell took a deep breath, he understood what Nora meant, and thinking about it made sense. She has always been a traditional girl; it was impossible for her to accept him directly now.
"Alright, in that case, happy cooperation, Miss Northwood."
Adjusting his mindset, he decided to see the girl in front of him with new eyes.
She was no longer the little girl he always liked, Nora Northwood, but a strong independent woman capable of handling things on her own.
With the contract discussion finished, the waiter brought in the dishes.
The atmosphere in the private room was harmonious, but it was tough for Jasper Sinclair on the other side.
It was his first time engaging in such a sneaky act, and he was somewhat unaccustomed to it.
It was just that the soundproofing was too good, he couldn’t hear anything at all.
At this moment, the room next door opened, and the three people inside came out.
He hurriedly stepped out ahead of them.
"What a coincidence, darling." He looked at Nora with a smile, even though the woman in front of him only gave him a glare and bypassed him straight away, leaving without a word, it didn’t bother him.
He followed her from behind, though this action didn’t really fit his usual personality.
But chasing a wife, there’s no need to think too much about it.
Aaron Lowell chuckled, adjusted his glasses, one hand tucked into his pocket.
"President Sinclair really opened my eyes today." He looked at him with a provocative gaze.
"President Lowell is the same, always clinging to someone else’s wife," Jasper Sinclair retorted, unwilling to back down.
The two of them didn’t let up, following behind like two children bickering.
Nora’s face was expressionless, but inside she felt extremely helpless, especially towards Jasper Sinclair.
Her anger had subsided quite a bit by now, but the fact that he lied was undeniable, and she didn’t plan to forgive him so easily.
They left the hotel, ready to head back, and both Aaron Lowell and Jasper Sinclair simultaneously opened the passenger side door for her.
