Sumr Monroe knew that with Damian Knight’s words, the fish had taken the bait. She nodded naturally and said, "Yes, I grew up in the countryside and don’t know any dical skills. It was Damian Knight who took to see Isaac Ross a while back, and I happened to see Dr. Jason saving soone. I found it interesting, so I learned a few tricks from him, and I didn’t expect they would co in handy."
Henry Stanton was taken aback, but the wariness in his eyes towards Sumr Monroe eased a bit.
Beside him, Evan Hughes asked incredulously, "You just learned a few tricks from him and managed to cure my illness? Then Dr. Jason must be incredibly skilled!"
Sumr Monroe smiled and said, "He indeed is an excellent doctor, but the truly remarkable ones are his ntors, the Williams couple. So... Chairman Hughes, the ones you should really thank are not , but Dr. Jason and the Williams couple."
Evan Hughes nodded continuously.
When he looked at Sumr Monroe again, his gaze held one less part admiration and one more part disappointnt.
He had been ddling in today’s funeral affairs, mainly for Sumr Monroe. Had he known that Sumr had learned those few tricks casually from others, he wouldn’t have said so much nonsense.
Evan Hughes coughed lightly and turned to Henry Stanton, saying, "I’ve also disturbed you for quite a while today, so I won’t impose any longer. I’ll take my leave first."
"Alright, take care. I’ll see you out," Henry Stanton said, stepping forward to escort Evan Hughes to the door.
When he returned, Sumr Monroe noticed a smile on Henry Stanton’s face once more. She breathed a sigh of relief but didn’t lower her guard.
Just then, Henry Stanton jovially asked her, "Sadie, Young Master Knight, did your wedding go smoothly?"
Sumr Monroe nodded and took out the marriage certificate from her pocket, smiling like a girl in love, and said, "Dad, look, this is the marriage certificate."
"Good, good." Henry Stanton nodded repeatedly, looking at the marriage certificate as if blossoming with joy on his face.
He took the marriage certificate from Sumr Monroe’s hand and looked at it for a long ti before reluctantly returning it to her.
Then he suddenly turned to Damian Knight and said, "Son-in-law, would you like to stay overnight tonight?"
Sumr Monroe’s smile stiffened; Henry Stanton’s address had changed too quickly, hadn’t it?
From "Young Master Knight" to "son-in-law," it was a seamless transition.
Moreover, staying overnight would an she had to share a room with Damian Knight, wouldn’t it?
Sumr Monroe turned her head to secretly give Damian Knight a look, hoping he would find an excuse to refuse.
However, Damian Knight didn’t even glance at her, nodding directly, "Sure. On the way back just now, Sadie even said she was scared to sleep alone tonight. So why not accept your kind offer?"
Sumr Monroe felt frustrated and wanted to curse, yet she couldn’t say anything but stand aside and fake-smile.
Henry Stanton’s smile beca even brighter as he said, "Then I’ll have them tidy up the room and change Sadie’s room to have a bigger bed. Put up with it for the night, and another day, I’ll have them clean up a bigger room for when you co to stay."
"Okay, thank you, Dad."
Damian Knight’s "Dad" directly made Henry Stanton laugh twice.
Sumr Monroe looked at Damian Knight with a complicated expression, thinking: This guy’s ability to get into character is way too quick??
Just then, a servant ran down the stairs to report, "Sir, the lunch we sent upstairs was all smashed by the madam. Do you want to go up and take a look?"
Henry Stanton’s face imdiately darkened, and he said in a suppressed, displeased tone, "If she doesn’t want to eat, so be it. She’ll eat when she’s hungry. Let’s see how long she can keep up this madness!"
