The lazy Leia was unaware that her prediction just made everything more awkward than necessary.

That said, she had always been oblivious to the nuances of relationships, so the only problem she could ever think about would be regarding the man's body. However, Damian took some time to calm himself down and act like it never happened. After all, Wrenna did nothing wrong.

When he got back, he got a call from Clarissa.

"Damian, are you really okay? You're not lying to us, right? If you are, tell me the truth. I can take it."

Those words stunned Damian for a split second before he ended the call abruptly.

That made Clarissa very upset, so she turned towards Matthew.

"Look at this boy. He's growing up to be such a rebellious child. All thanks to your bad genes," blaming the child's rudeness on her partner.

Matthew was still the dashing old man he was and had a well-kept figure. He placed his arm around Clarissa's shoulder in a calm manner. "Yes... it's all my fault."

"Hmph. That's a fact. But is he in any trouble?"

"I don't think so."

After all, Matthew was a man too. He would be able to sense it if there was trouble. He could see from Damian's reaction that it was not a big deal.

"Are you sure? Why doesn't he sleep with Wren then? Don't tell me the boy...'

Clarissa suddenly thought about Stella and her face instantly darkened.

"Alright now." Matthew patted Clarissa's back. "Damian knows what he's doing. Don't worry. Let the two of them handle it. It's not good for you to be butting in too much."

"..."

Clarissa wanted to say more, but she figured Matthew was right. Meddling in their son's affair was not something wise.

Finally, she let out a heavy sigh.

Wrenna, on the other hand, was oblivious to what happened in the morning and still sound asleep.

Before Damian left, he went to his bedroom to see the girl's sleeping face, which was lightly flushed with her mouth slightly open.

It looked like he wanted to wake her up and talk to her. But he eventually gave up the notion and smiled helplessly.

Instead of saying anything, he caressed her head for a brief moment before he shook his head and left.

After that, Damian sent a message to Leia as soon as he got in the car.

He condemned her for interfering and misjudging the situation. He told her that he would withhold buying clothes and accessories for her for the month.

Before that, Damian bought presents for his sister and his mother every month regularly, and it would always be the latest style and designs. It was his promise to them.

That said, only Clarissa would show interest in those things sometimes. To Leia, they were just things that her brother bought for them. She never actually thought anything about it as long as they were usable. All in all, Damian could not bear to punish his sister, so he chose something she did not mind as a punishment so he could send a message.

After all said, he was still a loving brother.

When Wrenna woke up, it was already noon. It was a bad habit of hers ever since the few days after her marriage to Damian.

She would always get called out by the teachers in class as she was just a typical sloth.

After she grabbed a bite, Wrenna got back to school just in time to catch Xandra right as class finished and gave her an awkward hug, feeling a little guilty.

"Xandra, did the teacher take attendance? Was I caught? He usually doesn't do that, right? Hehe."

Xandra gave her a side-eye. "Aren't you just coasting until graduation, Mrs. Quigley? Why do you worry about attendance? You're guaranteed to graduate after all." Wrenna stuck out her tongue at Xandra and let go before laughing out loud.

"You're not wrong about that. Oh well." Wrenna shrugged it off. "By the way, I'm going to a cooking class this afternoon. Would you like to join me? There's no class in the afternoon, right?" "No, thanks." "Alright then, Miss Adams. I'll go on my own. Haha..." Wrenna turned towards Dora and Linda. "What about you two? It's easier to grab hold of a man's heart if you get good at cooking!"

"Umm... Wrenna, I don't think there's a correlation between how much a guy loves you and how well you can cook. That's an outdated saying from the olden days where the only thing women could do was cook at home. No one cares about getting married in this day and age."

"I care! I want to be a great Mrs. Quigley!"

"Sure, you're the minority, but do whatever makes you happy."

Hearing that, Wrenna nodded delightfully and remarked, "Definitely!"

She had a brisk smile on her face as she knew that everyone was entitled to their own opinions. She did not want to impose her ideology onto others since she was happy with how things were at the moment. Wrenna's tilted her head while she sat at the table, gawking at the thought of Damian, wanting to cook delicious food for him to gain his favor.

"Hehehe..."

She could not help but giggle, causing the people around her to shake their heads as they saw what was going on. They were all used to it at that point.

Everyone knew she was thinking about Damian.

"Oh, God. The school forum is blowing up," Dora remarked, but only Linda was interested as she leaned over to take a look.

"Woah, that's a beauty for sure. Is she the new teacher?" "She's only teaching here occasionally."

"What's her background?"

"I have no idea, but she's definitely someone important. There's no way she can become a teacher at her age otherwise. I heard she came back from overseas and that she accomplished some amazing feats in the industry. Sounds impressive enough, although we know nothing about economics."

"That's awesome! Women should all be like her, live their own lives. She's young, beautiful, and talented. How incredible is that? I will become a woman like her one day."

Meanwhile, Wrenna was uninterested in the topic and stood up.

"I'm going to have lunch with Damian," she said.

She figured there was still some time left for lunch and decided to try her luck to see if Damian was available.

So, Wrenna picked up her bag and left her friends cheerily.

"Take care, Mrs. Quigley."

Wrenna waved back in response as she jogged away.

Coincidentally, when she arrived at Tyson Corporation, it was lunch break. Hence, she walked straight through the lobby and hopped into the elevator with a bright smile on her face. "Hi, Johannes," she even greeted the familiar secretaries and gave them some snacks.

"Mrs. Tyson!"

Everyone had strange expressions on their faces when Wrenna showed up.

"What's up?" Wrenna raised an eyebrow. "Is Damian busy? If that's the case, I'll wait for him at the usual spot. You guys carry on."

"Umm... Alright then, Mrs. Tyson. Let me escort you there."

"It's fine. I can go there myself. It's not like I don't know the place, right?"

Wrenna skipped and hopped her way towards the guest lounge beside Damian's office. However, she could not resist stopping by the office because she wanted to see his surprised expression. "Isn't it time for Damian to eat? It's getting late," she turned to ask Johannes.

Before Johannes could answer her, the office door opened. Wrenna's face lit up but immediately darkened when she saw who came out.

Stella Lane! Wrenna froze in place.

Her mind went blank as she looked at Stella.

Stella saw Wrenna's vacant expression and approached her with a smile.

"It's been a while, Wrenna."

Wrenna was quiet. There was a sullen pout on her face as she looked past Stella and walked into the office. It was then that Damian saw her, and she pushed him back into the room before he could say anything. After that, she proceeded to slam the door shut, cutting everyone off from the outside.

Eventually, their eyes met, and Wrenna snapped back into reality, oblivious to why she did all that.

She was at a loss as she realized her actions were a little overboard while feeling scared and helpless at the same time.

Wrenna's mixed feelings were written all over her face while Damian slowly approached her and held her hand, seemingly understanding what was going on.

"What's wrong, Wren?"

Wrenna lowered her head and bit her lips, not wanting to look at him.

"She... Why is she here?" She could not help but asked.

Isn't Stella overseas? Why is she here? How long have they been meeting?

Wrenna was upset.

She recalled the time she heard Dora talking about Damian meeting with some woman alone and guessed it was Stella.

Were they meeting each other even during our honeymoon? Is she back to snatch Damian away from me?

Wrenna had so many questions in her mind, but she could not put those questions into words.

"She's here for official business," Damian explained.

He did not want Wrenna to dwell on the matter and pulled her to sit on the sofa. "Are you hungry, Wren? It's getting late. Let's have lunch together, okay? What would you like to have?" At that moment, Wrenna no longer had any appetite as her mood was thoroughly spoiled.

But despite that, she still forced out a smile and answered, "Sure."

"Let's get seafood then, okay?" Damian smiled.

"Okay."

Truth be told, she was not a fan of seafood.

So, Damian picked up his coat and held her hand outside. However, Stella was still there, as though she was waiting for them.

Seeing her, Wrenna's hand immediately tightened around Damian's and dragged him away, leaving Stella behind without paying her any attention.
