Chapter 318
The next day, Nora received a large bouquet of roses, fresh and brightly colored. There were drops of
water and they were very beautiful.
"Wow, Nora, who gave these to you? Your boyfriend?"
"Your boyfriend is so romantic. My boyfriend hasn't sent me flowers for a long time."
Since Avril was fired, no one in the Design Department dared to cold-shoulder Nora. Although they
didn't know whether the rumor in the company was true, they didn't dare to risk it. What if it was true?
Nora was also confused. She smiled awkwardly and took out the card in the bouquet.
It read "Dear Nora, the roses represent my heart. Your future husband, Easton."
Nora was amused. She never thought that this bouquet of flowers would be sent by the little guy.
Looking at the picture on the card, she was delighted.
She smiled and put the flowers aside in a joyful mood.
Although Derek was on the top floor, he still paid much attention to Nora. He soon found out about the
roses. His face darkened and his brows furrowed. He kept thinking who sent the flowers.
Damian asked cautiously, "Mr. Xavier, do you want me to find it out?"
"Yes, go now," Derek said coldly.
They soon knew the result, and neither Damian nor Derek expected the flowers to be from Easton.
Derek couldn't help thinking of the book his son read last night. He was even more upset, even if it was
his own son who sent the flowers.
Nora who was in the Design Department received a video call from Easton.
"Nora, I'm at XY Kindergarten. Can you pick me up?" Easton's cute little face was full of expectation.
She was stunned and immediately asked, "No one in the Xaviers went to pick you up?"
"The driver has something to do and went his own home. Dad said he has to work overtime and has no
time, so you have to pick me up."
Nora thought it was strange, but she still agreed. She couldn't let a little child go home alone. It was too
dangerous.
Hesitating for a while, she sent Derek a text message telling him about it.
Derek was stunned when he received the text, then narrowed his eyes. He didn't know what his son
was going to do. How could no one in the Xaviers not have picked him up?
He thought about it and replied, "You can go pick him up now and wait for me in the parking lot."
Nora was confused again. Wasn't she the person who was going to pick Easton up? Why should she
wait for him?
Full of confusion, she went to the parking lot and saw Derek at a glance.
There was an elevator in Derek's office. It led directly to the parking lot, which was fast and convenient.
"Mr. Xavier, what are you doing?"
"I'll go with you," he said faintly.
"But, didn't Easton say you had to work overtime and didn't have time?"
"I don't need to work overtime today. Easton told you that probably because he didn't see you for a long
time. After all, you know, he doesn't have a mother."
Hearing the last sentence, Nora decided to shut up and just go with him. She got into the car silently,
feeling much pity for the little guy, and was willing to pick him up.
Easton, who didn't know his plan had been ruined by his father, smiled and called the hotel after
receiving a reply from Nora.
"Hey, I want to book two seats for a romantic dinner..."
But when he saw Nora and Derek appearing together not long after, his proud little face froze.
Seeing this, Derek smiled faintly and picked up the little fellow. "Buddy, I am here. Are you happy?" NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.
Happy?! Easton struggled to jump down and glared at him discontentedly. "Dad, you don't have to pick
me up. Nora can do this."
Derek raised his eyebrow and asked, "Why?"
"Because..." Before Easton could finish, a soft, childish voice called out to him from behind.
The children in XY Kindergarten were from rich, powerful families. Now classes were over, so there
were many people who were here to pick up the children outside the kindergarten, but most of them
were nannies or housekeepers.
"Easton..."
A cute little girl in a pink bubble skirt ran over.
Derek had picked the little guy up several times, so this girl knew him and looked at Nora curiously,
"Easton, is this your mother?"
Last time at the theme park, he told others Nora was his mother. He was very happy then, but this time
he was not happy at all. After all, he would be Nora's boyfriend.
Derek curled his lips and took a step forward. "Yes, this is Easton's mother."
"Wow, Easton, your mother is so beautiful, just like me." The little girl was obviously a little narcissistic.
While she was praising other person, she didn't forget to praise herself.
Nora couldn't help chuckling.
Easton was displeased and looked at the little girl with a little disgust, "Who is like you? My mother is
much prettier than you."
The little girl pouted but was not angry. Instead, she walked up to Nora and smiled shyly, "Auntie, do
you think I'm pretty?"
Nora gently touched her head. "I think you're pretty and cute."
She immediately looked at Easton happily. "Easton, your mother said I was pretty. When I grow up, can
I be your wife?"
Nora was stunned.
Derek stood by with his arms crossed in front of his chest, looking at them as if it was none of his
business.
The little guy's face darkened and he glared at the little girl. "I don't want you to be my wife."
"Why?" The little girl was angry.
"Because you're so annoying and you like to cry. When you cry, you look ugly."
"You are ugly when you don't cry," the little guy added.
Seeing that the little girl looked sad and wanted to cry, Nora immediately whispered, "Easton, be
friendly with your classmate. Don't be so rude."
Easton's little face turned cold and his cheeks puffed up. "Nora, she's your rival in love. How can you
speak for her?"
Nora was shocked again. Wait? What did he say?
She suddenly thought of the bouquet of roses she had received and the words on the card, and
instantly understood the meaning of "her rival in love". She was speechless and amused.
The little girl bit her finger, her big eyes full of confusion. "Easton, what is the rival of love?"
"Hmph, you're so stupid. You don't even know this. I don't want to talk to you. It will make me stupid
too." Easton looked arrogant.
Derek, who had been watching them, felt that his son was pushing too far, so he stepped forward to
pick him up and put him under his arm.
Nora said goodbye to the little girl and quickly followed them.
"Put me down, dad. You're so annoying. You are embarrassing me."
Derek slapped him on the butt and sneered. "Embarrassing you? I don't think so. You even wet your
bed. That's embarrassing." As he spoke, he threw Easton into the back seat of the car.
The little guy covered his butt and blushed. "Who, who wet the bed? I stopped wetting the bed long
ago. This is slander."
When Nora caught up, she heard this. She comforted the little guy gently, "Easton, you're just a little
boy. You're still in kindergarten. It's okay."
