Chapter 172: A Little Bit Cute
In short, she was very satisfied with the Grant family’s eldest daughter.
"Willow, come, say hello." Susan Stone introduced as she pulled both Damian Knight and Willow Grant, "This is my disobedient son, Damian Knight. You’ll be living under the same roof from now on. He also graduated from Crestfall University, so ask him if you don’t understand anything."
Willow Grant had been too shy to look at Damian Knight earlier, but with Susan Stone’s urging, she slowly lifted her eyes to look at Damian.
That glance made Willow Grant freeze instantly.
Damian Knight was tall and had sharp brows and star-like eyes, with a high nose bridge. His whole being exuded an aura of nobility and distance that made her heart race at first sight.
She knew Damian Knight was outstanding, but she hadn’t expected him to be so handsome!
Those TV celebrities were mere props in front of Damian Knight.
This was a man kissed by the gods.
Willow Grant always considered herself composed, but when she saw Damian Knight, she couldn’t control herself, and her cheeks turned a faint pink.
No girl can remain calm in front of Damian Knight!
Seeing Willow Grant’s expression, Susan Stone knew the thread she was trying to connect was almost certain.
She was ecstatic, her smile lines visible.
However, when Susan Stone turned to look at Damian Knight, she found him staring at his phone, not glancing at Willow Grant at all.
My blockhead of a son!
Susan Stone grew somewhat impatient and urged, "Damian, stop working and greet Willow!"
What Susan Stone didn’t know was that if she hadn’t been wearing ten-centimeter high heels, Damian Knight would have pushed her away.
"Damian?" Susan Stone frowned and took the phone from Damian Knight’s hand, seriously saying, "I’m talking to you, did you hear me?"
Only then did Damian lift his gaze and looked at Willow Grant courteously.
Willow Grant instinctively straightened her back.
She was quite confident about her appearance.
She was sure that she had developed a good impression of Damian Knight at first sight and was equally confident that he wouldn’t dislike her.
Of course, Willow’s confidence was not unfounded or simply narcissistic.
Her skin, due to long-term care, was tender enough to yield water, her obedient black hair lay down in soft waves, her features were bright yet gentle, her neck was long and fair—she was a typical southern beauty, the kind of worldly wealth flowers affluent families loved to marry.
Yet, Damian Knight only gave her a brief glance, nodded slightly out of politeness, and then looked away.
His gaze barely lingered a second on her.
To her, this was an insult!
Mind you, she usually demanded a 200% turn-around rate.
Willow Grant’s face turned pale instantly, her confidence shaken—is it possible she was swollen like a pig due to the lack of sleep last night, hence Damian Knight wouldn’t want to look at her even for a second?
Damian Knight turned his gaze away and said to Susan Stone, "There’s an emergency at the company, so I won’t accompany you for breakfast. Also, I’ll probably be staying at the company for a while."
As he spoke, he directly turned and left.
Susan Stone looked at the disheartened Willow Grant, offered a few words of comfort, and then chased after Damian Knight.
Wearing high heels was inconvenient, so she simply took them off, running barefoot to block Damian Knight again.
"Damian Knight! Do I not exist in your eyes anymore? I told you to say hello to her, nodding like that doesn’t count! And what did you mean when you said you won’t be staying at home anymore? Saying that suddenly, what would Miss Grant think? She’d think you’re not welcoming her!"
