During the day, Fenhollow looks even more beautiful than at night, with maple trees planted everywhere, though the leaves haven’t turned red yet this season, creating a lush urban forest.
But Sumr Monroe wasn’t in the mood to enjoy the view; after eting Damian Knight, she directly followed him into the villa.
Damian Knight was still in his pajamas, but he was already fully awake, though his hair was a bit ssy.
Originally, he had stayed up late last night finishing his work, planning to sleep in today; but upon hearing that Sumr had been targeted by "that person," how could he sleep? Let alone groom himself.
However, although he didn’t have ti to freshen up, he did prepare dumplings for Sumr.
As soon as Sumr entered the house, she saw two plates of steaming dumplings on the dining table.
Just as Sumr was about to speak, Damian Knight led her to the table and said, "No matter what happens, eat first. It’s not good to let hunger cause stomach issues."
Feeling warmth in her heart, Sumr was about to thank him when Damian said, "I’m worried about getting a stomach issue myself, so I made so for you while I was at it."
Sumr: "..."
But this ti, she knew that Damian’s words weren’t sincere.
However, she didn’t say anything, quietly sitting down to finish the dumplings Damian had made.
She ate rather quickly and looked up to see Damian not yet finished.
Sumr couldn’t help but observe Damian’s eating manner.
She hadn’t expected that Damian, who usually acted so decisively, would eat in such a refined manner, moving with a sort of noble elegance.
His unhurried pace resembled soone savoring an expensive Western al rather than eating dumplings.
Perhaps her gaze was too focused, as Damian suddenly looked up.
Sumr quickly diverted her eyes, awkwardly clearing her throat.
This ti, however, Damian didn’t tease her like the previous night; he simply sped up his actions.
Once a plate of dumplings was gone, Damian began to discuss the main issue: "Tell , what happened at your ho? What did that guy do after hacking your computer?"
Sumr said directly, "He asked to join him, and he said he’d co for in three days."
Damian raised an eyebrow in slight surprise, saying, "It seems he’s interested in your hacking skills."
Sumr nodded, "I’ve set up a special firewall on my computer, with anti-detection capabilities. Before they attempt another hack, my system will lock onto their IP address."
"Well done!" Damian’s eyes were full of admiration: "This ti, I will definitely catch that guy!"
"I hope so..."
What worried her was the possibility that he wouldn’t hack her computer again, but instead, co directly to her for an answer.
Clearly, Damian had the sa thought and said, "I’ll assign bodyguards to secretly protect you. I won’t let him harm you."
"Don’t worry." Sumr said calmly, "I’ve also hired bodyguards myself. You don’t need to worry about my safety. What matters is sothing else."
Damian rembered Sumr ntioning her family was in so chaos, and he looked up to ask, "What happened at your ho?"
Sumr pursed her lips and said, "Clarissa Stanton is dead."
"What?!" Damian widened his eyes in shock, then frowned and asked, "Is this... related to that person?"
Sumr paused, then chuckled softly, "I thought your first reaction would be to think that I killed Clarissa Stanton."
Damian shook his head: "You’re not that kind of person, I know that."
In that mont, Sumr felt as if sothing soft and warm had filled her heart.
