Chapter 445 Never Wrong In Love
Wrenna knew that Stella was very capable.
Back then, when Stella was still a poor student, she had already won Damian’s heart. Now that she had attained success, she became even more stunning in the limelight.
If Damian did not have a history with Stella, Wrenna might actually like her.
She’s so cool inside out. Besides having a pretty face, she has a great personality that will make people adore her.
Yet, Wrenna disliked her because of Damian. To her, Stella was a threat.
She hit rock bottom when she heard Xandra said good things about Stella too. Instantly, her heart sank.
Xandra seemed to know what Wrenna was thinking. She added, “Though Stella has her good merits, you, Wren, aren’t totally useless. You two are different. You have your strengths too! So, don’t let this beat you up.”
Wrenna looked up with a pair of gloomy eyes. “Xandra, what are my strengths? I don’t even know.”
She thought of herself as someone who knew nothing much.
Besides being born with a silver spoon, there’s nothing great about me. I have absolutely nothing to shout about.
Calmly, Xandra looked at her. “Wren, you’re cheerful, loyal, and you have a great personality. Aren’t these good things about you? As for Stella, no doubt she’s a successful, independent, and smart woman, not all women in the world are like her. Similarly, she’s not every man’s type either. A girl like you is well-liked by others. Take Jayden for example, he doesn’t have any feelings for Stella. Instead, he has been falling head over heels for you for the longest time. Our school doesn’t need more people like her. Being excellent at academics or possessing superb capabilities are only the tip of the iceberg. It’s just one of the many aspects of a person’s characteristics. It doesn’t represent the person as a whole.”
“Really?” Wrenna was dubious about Xandra’s viewpoint because she lacked confidence.
“There’s no need to belittle yourself. Every one of us is a unique individual.” Xandra intentionally ended the conversation.
I can go on and on until the cows come home, but my words will just be meaningless utterances if she can’t figure this out herself.
Wrenna nodded, seemingly reflecting upon it.
People were still spewing various comments on the school forum. Shortly after that, the person who initiated the post removed it completely.
Baffled, Wrenna wondered if it was Damian’s doing again. Did the news get to him? Was he the one who did this?
Clueless, Wrenna decided to give Damian a call.
“Damian, did you find out about it?”
He was busy working while answering Wrenna’s call. “What did I find out?” he asked directly.
Stunned, she responded, “Oh, nothing. I forgot that I’ve told you this morning about the little argument I had with a friend.”
He cackled. “What? Your memory is terrible. Did you not have a good sleep?”
“Maybe. All right, I better let you get back to work. Bye, Damian.”
Hanging up, she pondered further.
Who could it be? I don’t think that the monitor will delete the post from the forum on his own.
While she was still thinking hard about the matter, Jayden contacted her.
“Don’t worry, Wren. I’ve made that person take down his post. He won’t dare to babble nonsense anymore. Also, he’ll apologize to you.”
The information came like a bolt from the blue, and Wrenna did not know how to respond.
In the end, she thanked him politely.
Then, Jayden made a self-deprecating joke. “Sorry for the inconvenience I’ve caused you the last time, Wren. I didn’t get someone to hype it up. It’s fine if you don’t trust me. This time, I didn’t settle the matter for the sake of your gratitude. I just want to make you happy and protect you whenever you face any harm even though you don’t like me.”
He was not going to give up on her so easily. Conversely, he was determined to keep loving Wrenna. One would tend to be persistent in chasing after what his heart desired.
Lately, Wrenna’s mood had been negatively affected by all the gossips in school. With all that was going on, her interest in school was significantly reduced. It also did not help when she never liked studying in the first place.
As a result, she often played truant and stayed home to learn cooking from Cora. She much preferred to spend time improving her culinary skills and preparing delicious food for Damian.
Being at home provided her a safe space to be away from all the hurtful rumors. In addition, she could avoid facing Dora and be absent from lectures. All she wanted to do was to concentrate on preparing scrumptious meals for Damian and seeing him beam with joy upon returning from work.
Wrenna’s hope was to build a comfortable life in Jackdaws Mansion and live happily ever after. She enjoyed the peace very much.
During the weekends, Damian and Wrenna went to Zen Highlands.
When they arrived, Clarissa was taking a stroll with Matthew. The former waved enthusiastically at the couple.
Wrenna gazed at them with envy. Wrapping her arms around Damian’s, she blushed when he looked her in the eyes.
“Daddy and Mommy have such a good relationship, Damian and that has never changed.”
Damian smiled.
That’s a fact. Their relationship gets better and better with each passing day. An ideal marriage should be like theirs; perfect and is most enviable by all.
Clarissa was happy to see how affectionate the couple was. To her, it was only normal that they were close to each other.
She strongly believed that her son would fall in love with Wrenna in the near future despite how he felt about her in the past. This was because Wrenna was a great girl.
Subsequently, Clarissa went to the kitchen with Wrenna while the father and son talked about work in the living room.
In the kitchen, Clarissa checked on Wrenna as they cooked together. “How are you two? It was all a misunderstanding when your Daddy and I made a blunder the last time.”
Wrenna was dumbstruck.
What blunder? When?
She remained silent, not knowing what the topic was about.
Clarissa was amused by her blank expression. “Oh, my dear Wren. You have no clue about that, right?”
“No, Mommy. What is it about? I really have no idea.”
Clarissa smiled. “Well, we trusted Leia’s analysis and thought that Damian… has a problem in that aspect. Fortunately, it was just a scare. He’s perfectly fine. Leia had the wrong idea. So, my apologies. It’s all a misunderstanding. I didn’t know that Damian didn’t tell you about it. Haha… That’s him anyway, he didn’t share anything with you as it probably hurt his pride, right? Haha…” Clarissa shared the incident jokingly.
However, Wrenna did not find it funny. Her heart wrenched. She forced a smile and tried to hold back her tears.
Right then, Clarissa turned around to continue cooking, so she missed the expression on Wrenna’s face.
“Oh, this dish…” She turned back, only to realize that Wrenna had left the kitchen.
She did not think much about it and continued preparing other dishes.
When Wrenna came out from the kitchen, she saw Damian on the way. Instantly, she lowered her head to hide her glistening eyes and dashed into the bathroom.
No one really noticed something was off with her.
She stayed inside the bathroom until lunch. Throughout that span of time, she made a tremendous effort to suppress her emotions.
Looking rather normal, Wrenna was full of praise for the meal prepared by Clarissa. She did it out of her earnest admiration for Clarissa’s cooking skills, not because she was her mother-in-law.
Amazingly, she could still plaster a smile for Damian.
I’m becoming more pretentious.
After lunch, Wrenna chatted with Clarissa. She enjoyed hearing the latter talk about Damian’s childhood stories.
Each time the topic came up, Wrenna would listen attentively. It made her heart full. Clarissa could really sense that love was in the air. She considered her son a blessed man because he had a girl who loved him so deeply and wholeheartedly. She was exceptionally thankful that Damian could marry his Mrs. Right.
Thinking back to that one time when Clarissa learned that her terrific son fell for a woman like Stella, her world almost collapsed.
During that period, Damian resisted me a lot and even threatened to cut off ties with me. Never in a million years would I have thought something so horrendous could happen to me.
At one point, Clarissa regarded those moments as a punishment from God for being unforgiving toward the Tysons during her younger days. Fortunately, Damian changed his mind in the end. She was extremely worried that her son would fall for the wrong woman. Now, she could heave a sigh of relief, knowing that Damian ended up with Wrenna.
Smiling, she took Wrenna’s hands and said lovingly, “Wren, as a mother, I thank you for loving Damian. I really do. I’m not trying to be nice here. It’s how I genuinely feel, from the bottom of my heart. Had it not been for you, I don’t know what would become of Damian. Lucky for him, you love him so dearly. I know that he’s not being fair to you sometimes. However, I know my son. Please give him some time. He will fall for you with all his heart and soul. Do be patient with him and wait for him to respond to your love. Okay?”
Biting her lips, Wrenna nodded. “Mommy, I’ll wait for him even if the process takes a lifetime. Don’t worry about us.”
Feeling greatly comforted, Clarissa gave Wrenna a big hug. “You’re such a good girl. I’m sure your days ahead will be as blissful as they can be. I’m usually right about people. You’ll never make a mistake for loving him either.”
At that instant, Wrenna felt a burden lifted off her shoulders.
Yes, I can’t be wrong about Damian.
