Chapter 254: Hands On and Off
Fenhollow...
Clarissa Stanton once mentioned that people who live here are either wealthy or noble, and her dream was to one day live in Fenhollow.
Soon, the car arrived at Stanton Manor.
Summer Monroe was already feeling a bit drowsy, yet Damian Knight was still focused on operating something on his tablet.
Summer glanced sideways and found he was replying to internal emails.
For a moment, Summer felt a mix of emotions inside.
Damian Knight is really so busy... In such a busy schedule, he still took me to the elite gathering and Coralie Hughes’ birthday party.
Summer suddenly didn’t understand, what exactly was on Damian Knight’s mind?
Was it just because I saved his life?
The moment Damian Knight raised his eyes, looking at her from behind his tablet.
Their eyes met, and Summer was caught off guard, her cheeks inadvertently reddened, as if she’d been caught doing something guilty.
Damian Knight tugged his lips into a smile and teased, "Enjoying the view?"
Her heart raced uncontrollably, she coughed lightly and put on a disdainful look, muttering, "Narcissist!"
Seeing her embarrassed look, Damian Knight’s smile widened unconsciously.
He suddenly reached out and ruffled Summer’s hair, the soft touch felt like petting a cat.
For an instant, Summer seemed to be frozen in place by the action.
She’s worn many masks and met many people, experienced many things, but she had never experienced a man ruffling her hair.
The temperature inside the car seemed to climb with the moment...
Damian Knight’s black eyes were so profound, his actions so gentle, with deep emotions in his gaze that Summer simply couldn’t decipher.
"You..."
She started to speak dumbfoundedly.
However, her voice seemed to snap Damian Knight back to reality.
He withdrew his hand, pretending to be calm, and said, "What brand of shampoo do you use? It feels nice."
Summer glared at Damian Knight, her face reddening, and said angrily, "Don’t lay your hands on me!"
Damian Knight shrugged and said, "Who told you your hair was messy? I was just smoothing it out for you. Do you have to react so intensely? No man has touched you before? Speaking of which, have you never been in a relationship?"
"Ha?" Summer, who’s never been in a relationship, forced a wide grin and replied, "I’ve had more relationships than you’ve eaten meals."
Damian Knight raised an eyebrow at her, "Little one calling herself an expert. Better head back, I bet the Stanton Family doesn’t know the dress was prepared by Coralie. Your opportunistic sister is about to get it from Henry Stanton, better go watch the show."
Summer just felt that being alone with Damian Knight now made her inexplicably uneasy, she let out a low "yeah" and then opened the car door and left without looking back.
She must have been dazzled by Damian Knight’s good looks, at that moment, her heart raced incredibly fast.
Before this, she’d never had such an emotional reaction.
However, halfway through, Summer couldn’t help but touch the spot Damian Knight had just ruffled.
Strangely, rubbing her own hair didn’t feel the same as when Damian Knight ruffled it.
Wait, why was she thinking about Damian Knight again?
She mustn’t dwell on it!
Summer patted her own face, forcing herself not to think about Damian Knight.
Soon, she reached the villa’s entrance.
Even from several meters away, she could hear Clarissa Stanton’s loud pleas and explanations.
"Stop hitting me... Dad, I know I was wrong! I shouldn’t have worn that dress there. But I didn’t even buy that dress myself..."
"Smack—" The sound of something hitting flesh.
Immediately followed by Henry Stanton’s scolding voice: "Quit bullshitting me! Isn’t this humiliating enough? I thought after spending time at the temple you’d change, but you’re even more malicious and stupid than before! I don’t have a daughter like you, I’ll beat you to death today!"
