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 villa 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 the company's documents. Derek sat in the pavilion with Nora bathing in the wind.
The little guy was on the side, playing games on iPad with his headphone on.
Derek narrowed his eyes. He took out a bottle of wine and two glasses and poured one for each of them.
"Why are you drinking at night?" Nora shook the wine glass 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 palate for wine. This wine was not as spicy and bitter as other wines. It seemed to have some fruit flavor, 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 villa. There is a peach grove in the back of the mountain, and the wine is specially made by a senior winemaker. Almost everyone who comes on vacation will order it," he explained.
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 accident, 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 relationship 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 according 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 place."
