You’ll Fall For Me, Today Or Tomorrow Chapter 442

Chapter 442 He Does Not Love You

Wrenna was still clinging to Damian after Burnham left, but he didn’t mind as he knew she was still processing what happened earlier.

“Hey, Wren…”

“Yeah?” she responded without looking up at him.

“Don’t take Burnham’s words to heart.”

“I didn’t.”

Nothing Burnham said bothered her because all she cared about was Damian’s attitude toward Stella, and the fact that he took her side came as a huge relief.

“Okay, then. Did you just wake up? Are you hungry? Shall I have someone bring you some snacks? Or would you prefer to head straight home?”

Wrenna glanced at the time and realized she had skipped class again.

I know I’m not a good student, and I do feel bad for skipping class like this… But if it means I’ll be able to spend more time with Damian, so be it! Sorry, professor, please forgive me!

“I’ll stay here with you, and we can go home together after you finish work. I don’t have any class to attend, so heading back to campus would be pointless anyway.”

“Okay. Go have a seat, then,” Damian said with a gentle smile while caressing her cheek. Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

Wrenna nodded obediently, only to hug him from behind the moment he turned around.

With her face pressed against his back, Wrenna kept her head low as she asked softly, “Damian… Are you really not going to see Stella? You’re not lying to me, are you?”

That was what she truly feared from the bottom of her heart.

A first, Damian tensed up slightly in surprise but was quick to relax when he sensed the anxiousness in her voice.

He then held her hands that were wrapped around his waist and pulled her in front of him before hugging her tightly.

“I’m a man of my word, Wren. Besides, we’re married for life. Whatever Stella and I had is in the past, and I’m not the type who would go back to his ex,” he whispered while kissing her on the forehead affectionately.

“All right, I understand…”

After a brief moment of silence, she added, “I would’ve believed you no matter what you said, but I just can’t stop myself from overthinking sometimes. I’ll do whatever you want as long as you don’t get mad at me, Damian.”

“I’m not mad at you, and you don’t have to be that afraid of me getting mad either. Feel free to tell me if something upsets you or if there’s something you want to know about, okay?”

Wrenna looked up and flashed him a bright smile in response.

“I’m not upset at all, Damian! Being able to marry you is the happiest thing that has ever happened to me, and I’m going to stay happy for the rest of my life!”

Damian couldn’t help but feel his heart ache when he saw that bright yet silly smile of hers.

Oh, Wrenna… You silly girl…

With that in mind, he expressed his heartache and pity in the form of a gentle kiss on her lips.

Wrenna’s heart was beating so fast that she had to press her hands against her chest in an attempt to calm herself down.

She then stole a glance at Damian who was busy working, only to quickly look away as her face and ears burned bright red.

Wrenna kept her head low and continued eating her cake to distract herself, but it wasn’t really working all that well.

She was snapped out of her train of thoughts when her phone started ringing all of a sudden, and she quickly scrambled into the break room to answer the call.

“Hi! Who is this?”

Her tone was cheerful, and she seemed to be in a great mood.

Stella, on the other hand, could be heard sobbing miserably on the other line.

“I’m begging you, Wrenna! Will you please give Damian back to me? I love him, I really do! It’s been so many years, and I haven’t spent a day without thinking about him, but I simply couldn’t come back! My love for him was what kept me going during my time abroad! And now, I finally come back after a grueling journey, only to find out that you’ve stolen him from me! With your great family background and wealth, you could have any man you wanted, Wrenna! Why must you insist on taking Damian from me? You’ve seen how much Damian loves me, haven’t you? There’s no way he’ll ever love anyone else in his life, so why don’t you just give up already? If you divorce him and give him back to me, we’ll still treat you like a sister and help you find a better man. How about that?”

Wrenna simply kept quiet and listened to her lengthy rant, but there seemed to be no end to it. “Are you done?”

“He will never love you, Wrenna! You know that, right?”

“And you know Damian will never divorce me, right?”

Stella went quiet instantly upon hearing that. They both knew Damian wasn’t the type of guy who would act on impulse, and that he was a responsible man who would stay married even if he didn’t love his wife.

That was precisely the reason Stella had chosen to approach Wrenna instead.

Because Damian would never cheat on his wife, having Wrenna initiate the divorce was Stella’s only option.

Although Wrenna wasn’t exactly the brightest banana in the bunch, she wasn’t all that stupid either.

“But he doesn’t love you. Are you really able to put up with your husband loving someone else?” Stella asked after a long pause.

“That’s none of your business. Of course, you can try and steal him like a homewrecker if you want, I don’t mind. It’s like you said, I have a great family background, and they all love me very much. Should you try anything silly, they’ll come after you even without me asking. You left Damian and spent so many years getting where you are today, Stella. Surely you wouldn’t want to throw all of that away now, would you? Unlike Cinderella who was originally from a noble family, you have a very messy one. Are you really willing to risk everything you have for this?”

Obviously not!

As if intimidated by Wrenna’s words, Stella fell silent after hearing that, and Wrenna hung up the phone when she didn’t get a response.

Despite what she said earlier, Wrenna broke down immediately after the call ended.

She was only able to put up a tough front because Stella couldn’t see her expression over the phone.

If they had been facing each other when having that conversation earlier, Wrenna would’ve undoubtedly panicked and broken down in front of Stella instantly.

Sitting on the side of the bed with her chin propped on her knees, she began thinking about what Stella said earlier.

She said he doesn’t love me… Damian will never love another woman for the rest of his life…

That line alone was more than enough to drive Wrenna insane.

Damian had no idea what she had gone through and assumed she was resting after taking a call.

It wasn’t until he entered the break room later on that he saw Wrenna all curled up like a ball of sadness.

“What’s wrong, Wren?” he asked while making his way toward her.

Wrenna quickly tried to get up, but her body had gone stiff from staying still for too long, and she ended up falling straight into his arms.

“Whoa! that’s a lot of passion there, Wren!” Damian teased her with a chuckle.

“My legs are numb…” Wrenna stammered and blushed a little.

Damian scooped her into his arms and lay her down on the bed before giving her a leg massage.

“Feel any better?”

Wrenna couldn’t care less about the numbness as all of her attention was focused on the massage she was getting.

She got so flustered that she couldn’t even say anything in response, and Damian simply smiled as he carried on massaging her.

“All right, that’s enough. I’m feeling a lot better now,” Wrenna whispered after some time.

“It’s getting late. Let’s go home, shall we?”

“Yeah, okay!”

The two of them then left the office and headed back to Jackdaws Mansion.

Wrenna tried her best to look as cheerful as usual, but she couldn’t seem to forget the incident no matter how hard she tried.

It was unclear if Damian was dense or simply didn’t care, but he notice anything off about her behavior.

The next day, Wrenna had just arrived on campus when Dora pestered her to attend her favorite lecturer’s class with her.

“She may not have a lot of classes, but every single one of them is jam-packed with students! Even the female students agree that she’s a very charming woman, so you have got to see it for yourself! Who knows, you might learn a thing or two and become an independent woman like her too! Seriously, you need to stop acting all sad in Damian’s absence or you’ll make us women look bad!”

“I’m not interested, Dora. You go on ahead.”

“Oh, come on, don’t be like that! Did you and Damian get into a fight again? Or has his first love comes picking a fight with you? It’s times like these that you really need to remain calm and indifferent, and the best way to improve your mood is to attend the lecture with me! Trust me, it might just change the way you see things!”

Unable to argue with her statement, Wrenna gave in and followed Dora into the lecture hall. Since Xandra didn’t have any classes, she decided to tag along as well.

The entire lecture hall was indeed filled with students like what Dora said, including those who weren’t from the Department of Economics.

The four of them stood in the back of the hall as they waited for the famous lecturer, Ms. Lane, to arrive.
