"Hmm... However, compared to this rumor, I think another rumor might actually be more reliable because your mom is extrely smart and capable, with impressive skills. She wouldn’t let herself be involved in those things."
"Is there another rumor?"
"Yes, the other rumor is... she was in a relationship with a mysterious man at the ti. But this man ca from an extraordinary family background, and later the man’s family denied your mom, making it impossible for him to marry her. Your mom was reluctant to abort you, so she chose the Stanton Family and brought Henry Stanton in as a live-in son-in-law."
Sumr Monroe felt even more confused.
She spoke up, "At that ti, because of my mom’s talents, the Monroe Family was in the spotlight, nearly rivaling the Four Great Families of Crestfall, becoming the fifth great family. What kind of man wouldn’t appreciate soone like my mom?"
"That I don’t know." Damian Knight paused and said, "But since this story ca from my mom, who actually was friends with your mom for a while, I find it more credible, even though it’s absurd."
Sumr suddenly looked up, "I want to et your mom."
Sumr’s words made Damian Knight’s heart involuntarily beat a bit faster.
Bringing a girl to et his parents was sothing he always thought was tedious and dull, but now, even knowing Sumr wants to et his mom for a different reason, he still feels a slight joy inside.
What’s happening to him?
Sumr saw Damian Knight not speaking and hesitantly asked, "Is it inconvenient? If it is, I’ll find an opportunity to et her myself..."
Damian Knight ca to his senses and shook his head, saying, "It’s not inconvenient, but... we need to find a reason."
"A reason?"
"Yes." Damian Knight said, "My mom can be typical of all the shortcomings of rich people you can imagine. She generally doesn’t et strangers. Especially now the Stanton Family is not what the Monroe Family used to be; she wouldn’t want to et a family like the Stanton’s. But... it’s not impossible to find a reason."
"What kind of reason?"
"Be my girlfriend."
Sumr Monroe was taken aback, staring at Damian Knight’s deep, dark eyes, incredulously asking, "What did you just say?"
Damian Knight kept his face expressionless and said, "Actually, my mom has been pressuring to date lately. I’m not interested in love affairs. If you can pretend to be my girlfriend, it will save a lot of trouble, plus you won’t need to see her; she’ll want to et you herself."
Sumr fell into hesitation.
"But... pretending to be a girlfriend, what if it can’t be controlled? I an, my dad, Henry Stanton. Once he thinks we’re actually in a relationship, he’ll definitely try every ans possible to marry you into our family."
"That’s not a bad thing either." Damian Knight said calmly, "A relationship can be fake, and a marriage doesn’t necessarily have to be real. I’m not planning to marry, and if you don’t plan to either, we can cooperate. Besides, isn’t your wish for to promise myself to you?"
Sumr Monroe could almost choke on her words.
"I’ve repeated many tis; I was just joking..."
Damian Knight said with a straight face, "Whether you were joking or not, you can still consider it. With the title of Mrs. Knight, it will be much easier for you to find out the truth or seek revenge than your current position. Once you’ve accomplished your goal, and I’ve found soone I truly want to marry, we can just divorce. It’s a situation with all gain and no loss."
"This..."
Just then, Isaac Ross knocked and entered.
