Chapter 406
Easton knew his father very well. He realized the situation instantly, dropped the tablet computer at once and threw himself into Nora's arms.
"Mom, don't you want me anymore?" The little guy pursed his lips and acted as if he was about to cry immediately.
Nora was asked this question again. She didn't know what to do with Derek and Easton, but she had a soft spot for her son. Even though she knew Easton was putting on a show, she couldn't bear to see his sad face.
"Of course not."
"Mom, I don't want a stepmother. I just want you. People in TV dramas say that stepmothers treat their stepchildren poorly, and I don't want to be treated poorly.”
Although the little guy said so, he was thinking to himself, "I'll give anyone who ill-treats me a hard kick, hmph."
Derek also added, "Nora, I just want you. Go back with me in a month. After we visit grandpa, let's get our marriage certificates.”
Things were going too fast. How come they were talking about that?
Nora took a deep breath. When she heard that Derek might marry someone else in the future, what she was thinking about was not whether her son was living a good life but she felt bitter for herself. It wasn't that she was an insensitive person, so how wouldn't she understand what was going on?
It was not surprising that Derek might marry some other woman. After all, almost every woman would take a fancy to a man like Derek. Moreover, she was lucky enough to be liked by him
Not to mention, they had Easton.
For a few moments, all kinds of thoughts flashed across Nora's mind. She seemed to have no reason to refuse him, so... she agreed.
Derek got another room for Penelope at night. If she slept with Nora, how would he sneak into her room?
Well, after all, he was the president of the Xavier Group, and it was a terrible thing to say that he would "sneak into her room".
Anyway, Derek got happy and excited after Nora finally agreed. He took a shower, put on his bathrobe and went into Nora's room next door.
As for how he got into Nora's room, it was easy for Derek to get the key because he was the owner of the villa resort.
Easton had long fallen asleep after playing all day, so he had no idea of his father's shameless behavior.
When Derek went in, Nora was still in the shower.
Derek went straight to bed without any hesitation. When Nora came out, she was shocked to see a man appear on the bed in her room suddenly.
"How did you get in?"
Nora asked grumpily. But once she said that, she realized it was a stupid question, so she asked another question, "What do you want to see me about?”
Derek put on a smile. "I'm sleeping here tonight."
Nora's face darkened the moment she heard Derek's answer, and her cheeks started to burn uncontrollably. She couldn't help but throw the towel onto his face. What a shameless man! "There's no way you're sleeping here tonight. Go back to your own room."
Derek raised his eyebrows. Now that he was here, it was impossible for him to go back. He stretched out his long arm, pulled Nora into arms and turned over. Now, he was on top of her.
"We are getting married. What's wrong with us sleeping together? Just take it as a rehearsal.” Derek said firmly.
Nora rolled her eye in annoyance. Fuck the registration and fuck the rehearsal. She sure had agreed to be with him, but she hadn't agreed to get registered.
"Why, do you want to go back on your word? You are being naughty, and you will get punished for that."
After that, Derek pressed his lips against hers.
Derek was always gentle, but tonight, he was acting in a reckless and overwhelming manner. In fact, the two of them had drunk a lot.
Nora was not a strong drinker. Although she sobered up a little after the shower, she still felt dizzy. Now that Derek treated her this way, she was too weak to resist him and thus obeyed meekly.
Both of them were in bathrobes, and it was easy to take them off. Derek stared at her, his sharp and deep eyes glinting. Without hesitation, he reached out and turned off the bedside lamp.
The room plunged into darkness, and only the moving figures on the bed could be faintly seen. The next morning, the sunshine came in through the window, leaving mottled shadows on the floor. Nora's eyelids twitched. Shortly after, she opened her eyes in a daze, moved her body and froze instantly, giving a low moan with a frown.
The soreness and aches all over her body and the strange feeling in her nether regions reminded her of what had happened last night. Nora felt that her head was about to explode.
Last night, she and Derek...
Nora could not help but close her eyes. Her face was blushing with anger and annoyance. She was not only annoyed with Derek, but also with herself.
It wasn't that she was heavily drunk last night. She just felt a little dizzy but was totally conscious. In other words, she didn't reject him completely enough to prevent what had happened last night from happening.
Thinking of this, she blushed even more furiously.
"What are you thinking? You're blushing.” Suddenly, Nora heard a chuckle. Before she could react, an arm wrapped around her waist and she was pulled into his arms.
Startled, Nora looked back. She was so angry just now that she forgot Derek was still by her side. When she heard what he said, she couldn't help but glare at him.
"Keep your hands off and let go of me."
Not only didn't Derek let go of her, but he drew her closer to him. "Tsk tsk. You want me to let go of you after what happened last night? No way."
Derek stroked Nora's underbelly with his warm palm as he spoke. "Maybe Easton's younger brother or sister is already here.”
Nora was about to burn upon hearing that.
In addition, both of them were naked under the blanket. Nora stiffened when Derek was fondling her, her fair skin glowing, and Derek got the physical response at the sight of it.
However, Derek dared to do nothing else but caress Nora. If he really annoyed her and thus she went back on her promise, it would be too late for him to regret it.
When Derek was still fondling Nora, there came a knock at the door, followed by Penelope's yell. "Nora, are you up yet? Open the door and let me in. I'll show you something fun.”
Derek could not help but roll his eyes. Now that it was impossible for him to continue enjoying the romantic and private time with Nora, Derek got out of bed with a sullen face.
Nora was almost scared to death by Penelope. Ignoring the aches all over her body, she got up immediately and said, "Hide yourself. Let me..."
Before she could finish her words, Nora saw Derek grab the bathrobe casually, put it on and walk towards the door.
As soon as the door was opened, Penelope, who was ready to rush in, flinched at the sight of Derek, staggered back and almost fell.
Penelope looked at the room number to make sure she was not mistaken, then at the sullen Derek, and realized something suddenly.
"Nora is sleeping. Come to her later." Derek said.
Penelope almost choked on her own drool. Shocked, she kept nodding, ran back to her room and closed the door.
