Chapter 438 She Has An Admirer
Dora introduced Ms. Lane in more details.
“She came from a poor single-parent family but was determined not to give up on herself. The obstacles she faced became her ladder to success. She received a scholarship from a university overseas. During her time there, she assisted her lecturer with many challenging topics, thereby increasing her income. After she graduated, she received a job offer from an Anglandur corporation to be their department manager. However, she rejected the offer and returned here to be the CFO of a local corporation. She’s even giving lectures at the university occasionally. The reason for her return is for the man she loves, which is so romantic despite her being a Ms. Independent. She is such an admirable and romantic person.”
Wrenna smiled. “She seemed amazing and loyal for her to let go of such an excellent opportunity for a man she loves.”
“Right? I think so too. Hmm… how does the man she loves look like with her being so perfect.”
Wrenna chuckled. “She’s such a perfect lady. The man that loves her must be admirable as well.”
“We thought the same, then she revealed he was brilliant when someone had asked about him. He is young, handsome, comes from a wealthy family, and treats her well. Most importantly, they both love each other deeply. What a fairy tale.”
Xandra asked, “Is this a class or a gossip session? This lecturer must be really bored if she answered all these unrelated questions.”
“Nope. We were curious about her. Ms. Lane had wanted to be friendly with us, so she answered many of our questions. Don’t even think about slandering my goddess.”
Xandra rolled her eyes at Dora’s reply and ignored her childish behavior.
Wrenna laughed.
The cafeteria during lunch hour was full of people. As they were about to finish their lunch, Jayden approached Wrenna with a dazzling smile.
“Wrenna, I have a basketball match later in the evening. Come watch me play.”
Wrenna rejected him instantly. “I won’t go.”
“Why?”
“No reason. I just don’t want to go.”
Damian was the only one in her mind. She had zero interest in watching other guys play basketball.
Everyone on campus knew Jayden liked Wrenna. Wrenna has always claimed to have someone she likes, but no one had seen the said person before.
And so, Jayden had persistently wooed Wrenna despite her claims of liking someone else. He had never taken her words seriously.
It doesn’t matter if she likes someone else. I like her, and that is all that matters to me.
She had repeatedly rejected Jayden that it was almost a routine for him.
He laughed and ruffled Wrenna’s head gently. However, Wrenna annoyedly slapped his hand away.
“Jayden, don’t cross the line. I’m married, so keep your distance from me.”
“Married? So what if you’re married? You can get a divorce.”
Wrenna insisted again, seeing his doubt. “It’s true that I’m married. They had all attended my wedding. You can ask them.”
“That’s not important.”
Jayden merely smiled. “I love you. I hope you can come and watch me play. I don’t care whether you like me or not. You should know I have always loved you.”
“Woah…”
Touched by his words, Dora clutched her chest.
She only stopped smiling after getting an elbow from Linda.
Wrenna was displeased with Jayden’s words.
She only needed Damian’s love. Admiration from others wouldn’t bring her any benefits. There were merely nuisances and burdens.
Wrenna would hate it if Damian caught wind of this and misunderstood her.
Hence, Wrenna was irritated at Jayden’s declaration.
She stopped eating and stood up, then left. The rest followed her lead and quickly returned to their dorm.
Back in the dorm, Jayden was the last thing on Wrenna’s thought. Now, she really wanted to attend the cooking class.
“Dora, come with me. Learning to cook is very important.”
Dora pondered about it. “All right then. I’ll accompany you, seeing as you’re so lonely and pitiful.”
Wrenna embraced Dora happily. They quickly packed up their bags then headed to a cooking class near the campus.
Wrenna hadn’t expected so many people to attend the class. There were many young girls and married ladies. She and Dora knew the reason for the crowd once they took a seat.
Their culinary instructor was a young and handsome guy.
Dora was in her fangirl mode while Wrenna was worried.
Does such a good-looking guy have the skills?
She was there to learn, not to fangirl over a guy.
Once class began, she noted the instructor did possess some skills. So she focused on learning while others were fangirling over his looks.
Wrenna managed to prepare a dish under the instructor’s guidance. He had a taste and approved of it.
Wrenna was ecstatic and was eager to head home to make it for Damian.
As for Dora, she was still following the instructor like a lost puppy. Wrenna tried her best to tug her along but failed.
When Damian had returned home that night, he noticed Cora wasn’t in the kitchen.
“Mr. Quigley, you’re back.”
Damian heard the sounds coming from the kitchen and arched his brow. Cora chuckled. “Mrs. Quigley is preparing dinner. She said she learned how to cook earlier this evening, and the instructor had praised her skills, so she was all excited to cook for you.”
Damian nodded as the corners of his lips curled. He headed upstairs to change out of his office attire.
When he came down, Wrenna still wasn’t done yet. He didn’t head toward the kitchen and instead started working on his laptop in the living room.
Damian felt the dinner was taking quite some time to prepare.
He was surprised, so he turned to peer.
At that time, Wrenna was carrying the dish toward the dining table.
“Damian, you’re back. You’re just right on time. I just finished. Come eat.”
Damian set his laptop down and rose with a relaxed expression. He wore a combination of white and gray showing off his tall and lean figure.
He inherited his handsome features from his parents. A subtle smile from him held Clarissa’s warmth.
Wrenna was rather excited about her work; however, Damian wasn’t even surprised by the two dishes on the table.
“Did you prepare both of them?”
“Yep, I did. Hurry up and try them.”
Wrenna’s face was slightly flushed. She was too embarrassed to tell him how she spent a few hours just preparing the two dishes. She also felt bad for all the food she wasted.
However, she knew it was worth it looking at the final product.
Wrenna watched Damian take a bite with much anticipation. She observed his every expression intently.
“It’s delicious, Wren.”
“Really? I’m so glad.”
There were thousands of sparkling stars shining brightly in her eyes as she smiled.
Damian could see his reflection in her eyes. Her intent focus warmed his heart.
She has been looking at me with the same intense gaze since a few years ago. I have caught glimpses of it before, but I didn’t really look at it.
“Damian, hurry and eat then.”
A sense of satisfaction bubbled within Wrenna as she stared at the man she loves eating the food she made for him.
I wish that every day forward with Damian would be just like today. Preparing breakfast for him in the morning, chat with him, then send him off to work. If there aren’t any chores at home, I’ll hang out outside. Then, have lunch with Damian. When I get back in the evening, I’ll prepare dinner then cuddle with him as we watch a movie or chat with him. It’s a simple but heartwarming married life. It’s what I have envisioned.
“The culinary instructor is so good-looking. Dora went with me and ended up fangirling. There were so many girls there. I highly doubt they’re there to learn how to cook, but I went there intending to learn. I’ll give it a try for a while. If the culinary instructor’s skill is not up to my expectation, I’ll change class. I’m not there to fangirl over any guys. You are the most good-looking one in my eyes.”
A handsome culinary instructor?
Damian nodded somberly.
“Nowadays, there are many marketing methods such as this to attract people. But in reality, the instructors didn’t have any skills. You can consider changing to another class.”
“Do you think so too? Then it looks like I’ll have to look for another place then.”
Damian smiled. “You can learn from Cora if you really like cooking.”
“You’re right. Why didn’t I thought of that?”
“There’s no need for you to attend a culinary class then.”
“Yep. I won’t go then.”
Wrenna laughed at how she had not seen a clearer picture earlier.
“You’re so thoughtful.”
She gave Damian a silly smile, and he shot her a smile too.
What handsome instructor? He and his skills can’t be trusted. It’s just for marketing purposes. I’m not worried about Wren having second thoughts. I can see her sincerity in learning. Handsome guys couldn’t be trusted. It will be best for her not to go if she will most likely get disappointed in the end.
After Wrenna showered, her phone rang indicating a call.
“Damian, could you help me pick up the call? I’m putting on a mask.”
Skincare routines were very important.
Damian glanced at her phone and picked it up.
“Hello? Who is this?”
“Where’s Wrenna? Who’re you?
It was a guy’s voice with hostility.
Damian raised his brow and glanced at Wrenna still doing her skincare routine. He didn’t answer but asked, “Wrenna is busy at the moment. So you can tell me your message, and I’ll pass it on to her.”
“Tell Wrenna today is the 520th day I fell in love with her. Please tell her I love her, and it doesn’t matter if she doesn’t want to accept my feelings. I’ll just continue to love her.”
Wrenna saw Damian reading as she came out of the bathroom with a mask on her face
“Who was it?”
“No one. Just a harassment call. I’ve blocked it for you.” “Okay. Thanks Damian.”
