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?"
