"You are my..." Damian Knight started to say, his heart suddenly caught, then he continued, "You are my friend, partner, life-saver..."
Sumr Monroe asked with amusent, "For these kinds of relationships, there’s no need to worry about whether you have sothing going on with other girls, right?"
Damian Knight stubbornly stated, "The few of us brothers, whenever any of us is dating a girl, we seek opinions from each other. That girl isn’t my type, I’m just letting you know. You’re my friend, I don’t want you to misunderstand."
Sumr was montarily speechless, unsure of what to say.
She felt a little inexplicable happiness inside, along with a touch of unnad disappointnt.
Finally, she just mumbled an "oh" and asked, "Do you have anything else? You ntioned wanting to ask sothing earlier. What’s that?"
Only then did Damian rember the most pressing matter and said, "I previously suggested you pretend to be my girlfriend, have you thought it over?"
Sumr froze for a mont; she had completely forgotten about this suggestion until Damian brought it up.
"I think... it’s still not really a good idea." She contemplated for a while and said, "If I pretend to be your girlfriend, what if it scares off potential girlfriends? They say your mom seems quite anxious for you to find a girlfriend."
"Precisely because she’s anxious, I am too." Damian spread his hands and said, "You saw earlier, that girl was actually soone my mom set up for . I don’t want to be unable to choose my own marriage. So, I need soone to fend off unwanted relationships."
Sumr answered with an "oh" and said, "Since she’s a potential match, maybe you should try getting to know her. She seed quite sweet and gentle..."
"I don’t like that type."
"Then what type do you like?"
"I like..." Damian gave her a deep look, opened his mouth, but only spoke several seconds later, "Definitely not like that! Just do a favor."
"If I help you, what’s in it for ?"
"The benefit is, you could parade around openly with the title of soon-to-be Mrs. Knight."
Sumr laughed, "Then I’ll think about it."
"Really?" Damian’s eyes lit up.
Sumr coughed lightly and said, "We’ll see. Henry Stanton ntioned I should wrap up filming sooner and head back, maybe sothing’s up. I should go now."
Damian didn’t get an answer, leaving him with a nagging feeling.
But he couldn’t force Sumr to agree, so he just nodded, "Then I’ll take you back."
"No—" Sumr quickly stopped him, "If you send back, Henry Stanton will start assuming things. I’ll just take a cab myself."
"It’s not safe for a girl to take a cab alone, I’ll have Assistant Shelton take you ho," he said, directly calling over Assistant Shelton to insist on Sumr going ho with him.
It wasn’t until Sumr’s car disappeared from sight that Damian’s usual indifferent expression vanished, replaced by confusion.
Could it be... Isaac Ross was right?
Did he really... like Sumr?
But then Damian shook his head.
No way, absolutely impossible! He knew very well Sumr didn’t have those kinds of feelings for him, and who was Damian Knight? He wouldn’t fall for soone who doesn’t like him back.
It must be an illusion!
Just like he said, he only considered Sumr as a friend, partner, and life-saver.
As for his proposal of a "fake girlfriend," it was solely to fend off unwanted relationships, nothing more.
That’s all!
...
Elsewhere.
Willow Grant also returned ho in a car, urging the driver to speed up all the way. Once back, Susan Stone was at the door.
Seeing Willow Grant carrying desserts again, Susan Stone hurriedly approached and asked, "What’s going on? Why’d you bring them back?"
Willow’s eyes turned red instantly, with tears streaming down.
"I, I..."
She couldn’t say anything coherent for a while, just continued crying.
Susan Stone couldn’t take it any longer, and directly pulled out her phone, "It must be that punk bullying you! I’ll call him right now and make him co back to apologize!"
"No—" Willow quickly grabbed Susan’s hand, "Don’t call him. He has soone he likes, and not accepting my desserts in front of her is understandable..."
Susan’s eyelid twitched, "He has soone he likes? Have you seen her?"
