The Billionaire CEO Wants to Marry Me Every Day-Chapter 605: Daoist

Summer’s heart was cold; she was completely different from when she first returned to Stanton Manor.

Nothing Henry Stanton said could hurt her anymore.

However, Summer put on an extremely aggrieved expression and said pitifully, "Dad, aunt, you’ve misunderstood. I didn’t go out to play. It’s just that when I left the hospital, I didn’t see you. I thought you had something urgent and went elsewhere and would come back to get me later. So I waited at the hospital entrance for hours, but you still hadn’t come back..."

Henry Stanton was at a loss for words just as Stella Monroe spoke up first, "Sadie, children shouldn’t lie in front of their parents. If you’d waited that long, why didn’t you call us?"

Summer said with a pitiful look, "My phone was dead, and I never thought you really wouldn’t come back to pick me up."

Upon hearing this, Henry Stanton was overwhelmed with guilt. He walked up and patted Summer’s hand apologetically, "It’s my fault. Too many things came up today, and I just forgot. But I promise you, it won’t happen again." 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Summer lowered her eyes and nodded, looking extremely wronged.

Stella Monroe couldn’t stand Summer’s appearance. Henry Stanton had never seen Summer’s true face, but she saw it clearly.

Pretending to be pitiful and weak? Really shameless!

Slut! Vixen!

Stella Monroe was seething inside when her phone suddenly rang.

It was the Daoist she had hired!

This Daoist was quite famous and had some real skills, but she had paid him enough money to make him say what she wanted him to say.

Stella Monroe’s eyes flickered with cold sharpness, but she quickly regained her composure.

She put on a smile and answered the phone, "Master, please wait at the door for a moment. I’ll come to meet you shortly."

After hanging up, she turned to Henry Stanton and said, "Henry, Mom said she wanted me to bring a Daoist to perform a ritual for Clarissa. The Daoist is here now, so I’ll go call Mom downstairs."

Henry Stanton quickly stopped Stella Monroe, saying with concern, "You’re still expecting. Running around like this, aren’t you tired? Just have a servant go upstairs and call Mom down. You sit tight, and I’ll go get the Master."

Stella Monroe laughed, "It’s only been a few months. You can’t even hear the baby’s heartbeat yet. I don’t feel much. It’s fine."

"You say you feel fine, but you’ve been vomiting the whole way? Just focus on your pregnancy. Try not to move around unnecessarily."

Stella Monroe looked a bit helpless and nodded, reminding him, "When you see the Master, make sure to be polite. This Master is hard to invite and very respected in Crestfall. I know several prominent families often have him for divinations. The wife of the Ross Family, for instance, has him do a reading weekly. He’s very skilled!"

When Henry Stanton heard the Ross Family mentioned, his expression grew more serious.

Even though he was an outstanding graduate of Crestfall University and had received a scientific education, he was from a mountain village like Old Madam Stanton, and deep down, he still believed in those superstitions and the existence of divine beings.

Hearing about the Master’s authority, he said earnestly, "Don’t worry, I won’t make a mistake. I’ll go and get him now."

As he spoke, Henry Stanton instructed the butler to go upstairs and ask Old Madam Stanton to come down.

Since it was Old Madam Stanton who wanted the ritual, she would surely want to witness it herself to feel at ease.

After giving the instructions, Henry Stanton reminded Summer, "Don’t forget to burn incense for your sister."
