Chapter 931: Getting Reckless
Running short on ingredients, Summer Monroe simply called Cece and Bella for help.
The three of them, along with a few bodyguards, toiled late into the night, finally making enough for a hundred servings.
"That’ll do," Summer Monroe stretched lazily, placing all the dumplings in the freezer before turning to Cece and Bella, saying, "I’m going to rest now; you should go rest too. There are a lot of people on duty outside, so you don’t need to keep watch. I’ll need your help again tomorrow."
"Okay." Bella cheered, although he hadn’t yet tasted the dumplings, but he was already salivating just watching Summer Monroe prepare the filling.
The dumplings must be delicious!
Summer Monroe returned to her room and washed up before lighting the sleep aid gifted by Mr. and Mrs. William.
Shortly after, she fell into a deep sleep.
What she didn’t know was that a tall figure appeared at the entrance of Redleaf Manor.
Although Summer Monroe had instructed Cece and Bella to rest, Cece insisted on keeping watch, letting only Bella take a rest.
Not long after she started her watch at the entrance, she saw a stunning face.
"Boss?!" Cece’s eyes lit up instantly.
She greeted him with delight and surprise, accompanied by two bodyguards.
The bodyguards who had been secretly stationed had reported that Damian Knight might have returned, and she didn’t believe it until she saw him herself.
It was indeed Damian Knight.
Damian Knight nodded slightly, noting the heavy rain in Rivain, yet here it was a sky full of stars.
If the storm hadn’t delayed the flight, he should have arrived an hour earlier.
Damian Knight looked up in the direction of Summer Monroe’s room.
The lights were already off, so she must be asleep.
Cece sensed Damian Knight’s gaze and spoke up, "Miss Monroe has just gone to sleep, do you need me to wake her?"
"No need," Damian Knight shook his head, refusing: "I just came back to see her for a moment and will leave soon."
Cece widened her eyes in astonishment.
"You came back just to take a look at Miss Monroe?"
"Yes. Otherwise, I wouldn’t feel at ease," Damian Knight said, instructing, "Don’t tell her that I came back, or she’ll blame me for the trouble."
"...Yes!" Cece didn’t know what to think for a moment.
If there was a contest for the world’s most exemplary husband, Damian Knight would probably rank in the top three, no, he would top the list.
"I’ll go up and check, you all continue to keep watch."
"Yes!"
Damian Knight nodded and stepped into the villa.
On the second floor of the villa, Summer Monroe’s room was not locked.
Damian Knight quietly pushed the door open. Bathed in moonlight, he saw Summer Monroe’s serene sleeping face.
He took off his night-chilled overcoat and quietly walked over to the side of Summer Monroe’s bed, sitting on the floor, gazing at her tenderly.
In her dreams, Summer Monroe shed her usual aloofness and toughness, appearing as gentle as a child.
As soon as he opened the door, he smelled the sleep aid scent in the air and, confident that Summer Monroe wouldn’t wake easily, his actions became bolder.
He reached out gently, stroking Summer Monroe’s cheek, drawing circles with his index finger on her skin, finally landing on her lips.
Her lips were moist and soft, with a delightful feel.
Kissing them... must taste even better.
The depth in Damian Knight’s gaze grew, leaning down, he touched her lips with his.
This kiss quickly got out of control, turning from a gentle peck into an intense, passionate kiss.
"Mmm—" Summer Monroe murmured in her sleep.
The sound hit Damian Knight’s central nervous system directly, influencing his hormones, making his blood surge.
Damn...
Damian Knight cursed low in his heart, clearly aware of the changes in his body.
