Gideon carried his luggage behind him while Nell ran forward with a small bag.
When she entered, she was immediately attracted by the vegetable garden in the yard.
She had seen pictures on the Internet and knew that there were vegetables grown here. If they were interested, they could pick and cook their food like ordinary farmers.
There was also a vegetable market nearby where they could buy meat and spices. Nell grew even more excited.
She had gotten accustomed to the life of a wealthy family by following Gideon, but it was also nice to experience the life of an ordinary couple once in a while.
Gideon followed after her and was also infected by her excited mood. He quickly walked forward and brought the luggage into the courtyard.
“Gideon, it’s so beautiful here. Go in and have a look. You’ll love it.”
Nell went in and strolled around, and went back out to hug his arm and tell him.
Gideon swept a glance around. Although it was a little humble, it carried a feeling of seclusion. He nodded.
The two carried their luggage in. Here was a quaint little villa with a duplex on the second floor.
Nell strolled around the house and ran outside again, feeling even happier when she saw many flowers planted in the backyard.
“The owner here must be someone with a taste for life.”
She said after running down and looking at the various gardens.
Gideon stepped down the stairs with two cups of water and handed one to her.
“There are gardens at home too with more flowers that are prettier than the ones here, but I’ve never heard you say that I have a taste for life.”
“Can you not compare?” Nell rolled her eyes at him.
“Those flowers weren’t planted by you. They’re all taken care of by Aunt Joyce. When you’re in a good mood, you just go on a walk to enjoy them. You don’t even bother to look at them usually. It’s not the same at all, got it?”
Gideon knew that she was telling the truth and did not refute it.
“Are you hungry? We can go out and grab something to eat along the way.”
Nell nodded. “Okay.”
The two went back to their room and got changed.
The clothes were prepared by Nell. She was intent on changing him and hoped that the high-and-mighty President could experience the feeling of ordinary people in love, so she had prepared matching outfits.
Gideon came out after changing his clothes. The set of white casual clothes on him lightened his stern temperament and made him look sunnier.
She wore the same clothes as him which were only a few sizes smaller and her hair was pulled up in a small bun. The two matched perfectly when standing next to each other.
Gideon’s eyes filled with a touch of warmth upon seeing her attire and he took her hand before walking out together.
The two decided to eat wherever they went and saw a fine little restaurant not too far away from the manor.
At this time of the day, there were not many tourists in the small town, so the restaurant was a little deserted. However, it had a distinct style due to its exquisite decoration and elegant environment.
Nell and Gideon went in and found a place to sit.
The owner of the restaurant was a middle-aged couple. They looked neither old nor young, around their thirties, and had a six-year-old son.
It just so happened that they were also Chinese and they had decided to settle down here because they liked the scenery of this town.
