Chapter 405


    When she saw so many ingredients, she happily picked up a few of her favorite ones and started


    roasting them.


    "Little Easton, what do you want to eat? Sister Pen will roast it for you. I will make it delicious."


    They were roasting and eating the food. As long as they were not clumsy, they could make a good


    meal. Time passed quickly, and the sky gradually darkened before they closed the stall.


    Nothing unpleasant happened during this period. Damian and Penelope were fine, but whether the


    harmony was permanent or temporary was unknown.


    The vi at night was more beautiful than in the day.


    Penelope flew her kite happily while Damian stayed in his room to deal with some of thepany''s


    documents. Derek sat in the pavilion with Nora bathing in the wind.


    The little guy was on the side, ying games on iPad with his headphone on.


    Derek narrowed his eyes. He took out a bottle of wine and two sses and poured one for each of


    them.


    "Why are you drinking at night?" Nora shook the wine ss in her hand and smelled it. The aroma was


    not heavy, but the wine had a mellow fragrance and smelt good.


    "It''s almost autumn. It is a little cold at night. Drink some wine to warm yourself up. It''s okay to drink a


    little." Derek said and took a sip.


    Nora could not help but take a sip after smelling the fragrance. She did not have a pte for wine. This


    wine was not as spicy and bitter as other wines. It seemed to have some fruit vor, and it tasted good.


    "What kind of wine is this?" She asked casually and couldn''t help but take another sip.


    Derek smiled, "Peach blossom wine."


    Nora was a little surprised.


    "This is unique to the vi. There is a peach grove in the back of the mountain, and the wine is


    specially made by a senior winemaker. Almost everyone whoes on vacation will order it," he


    exined.


    As they chatted over the wine, Derek suddenly said, "Nora, I''m going back to D City next month."


    After all, the headquarters of Xavier Group was not in J City. He was the president, and many things


    were much more convenient for him to deal with in the headquarters. Originally, he didn''t have to stay


    in J City for so long, but after Nora''s ident, he had decided to stay in J City for the time being.


    Nora was stunned. It was so sudden that she wasn''t prepared at all. She couldn''t help but feel a little


    confused.


    Derek was going back to D City. Was he... Leaving her?


    That was not hard to imagine. He was the president. How could he stay here all the time? But Nora


    never thought about this before. She didn''t even figure out where they were in terms of their


    rtionship yet, and how could she think so far away?


    Before she could think of anything to say, Derek added, "Come back with me."


    Nora suddenly turned to look at him. Derek''s eyes were bright in the night, and he was staring at her


    with seriousness, with... anticipation, and with nervousness.


    She silently lowered her eyelids and did not speak.


    Derek couldn''t help but feel a little upset. Was he still too anxious? But ording to Nora''s


    temperament, he was afraid of something unexpected happening if he didn''t take action.


    He narrowed his eyes and said directly, "You can''t refuse. Anyway, your job transfer has already been


    sent back to the headquarters. Next month, you will report to the headquarters with me. You are still the


    design director of design B Department. It''s just a different working ce."


    The corner of her mouth twitched and she resisted the urge to roll her eyes. What did he mean by


    saying just a different working ce? She was not a fool. How could the branchpare with the


    headquarters?


    Before she could finish digesting this, Derek dropped another bomb, "My grandfather already knows


    about you. He said he wanted me to take you back and meet him."

    What?


    This was really scary. Nora red at him, "What meeting? What do you mean? Your grandfather


    couldn''t have possibly known about me..."


    "No, don''t worry. The rest of the Xaviers don''t know who you really are. For the time being, they just


    think that you are a woman who is approved not only by me but also by Easton, so they want to see


    you."


    "Besides, it''s not a secret about Aubrey and the recent match in D City. It''s normal for my grandfather


    to want to see you."


    Normal? How the hell could that be called normal? She didn''t believe it was normal at all.


    For some reason, as soon as Nora heard about the Xaviers or meeting the Xaviers, she felt a strong


    sense of rejection and resistance in her heart.


    It made her wonder if she was too nervous or what.


    Derek didn''t want to give her a chance to escape, so he stood up and leaned over, hugging her in his


    arms, "Nora, can''t you tell me what''s the rtionship between us?"


    "No matter what, I won''t let go of you and my son. Think about it. If you don''t stay with me, Easton


    might have a stepmother in the future. If he has a stepmother, he might have a stepbrother or


    stepsister."


    "How pitiful Easton will be then. Can you bear for your son to live like this? In a single-parent family,


    most children will not be happy. Do you really have the heart to see that happen?"


    Nora was almost about to burst outughing out of anger. If that was the case, wouldn''t it be Derek''s


    fault? After all, he was the one who would find a stepmother for Easton. Now he was actually trying to


    me her for that.


    But Nora just thought about it and didn''t say it out loud. After all, if they were not together, with the


    status of the Xaviers and the care from elders of the Xaviers, Derek would definitely not stay single.


    Moreover, she seemed to have no right to stop Derek from remarrying. It was normal for him to


    remarry.


    Although she knew that the man was deliberately trying to make herpromise, Nora was very clear


    that this was indeed very likely to happen.


    She could not help but sigh.


    "I don''t know what answer to give you. After all, I haven''t recovered my memory."


    Nora had always thought that only when she remembered her past with Derek could she give the most


    urate and true answer in her heart.


    Derek frowned, "What if your memory neveres back? Are we always like this? Nora, the memory


    of the past is not important. People should look forward."


    "I like you, I love you, and I want to spend the rest of my life with you, whether it''s before or after you


    lost your memory, it hasn''t changed. What about you? Forget about the past, just focus on the present.


    How do you feel about me now?"


    After he finished asking, he said directly, "You don''t have to deny it. It''s useless. I know you like me


    too."


    Not knowing whether tough or cry, she couldn''t help but step on him. How could he say something


    like this?


    "Not only do we like each other, but we also have a son. I really don''t understand what you''re hesitating


    about."


    After Derek finished speaking, he raised his hand and pulled his son''s earphones away, "Tell your


    mother that if she doesn''t stay with me, not only do you have no mother, but you also have a


    stepmother. Then you will be miserable."
