You’ll Fall for Me, Today or Tomorrow
Chapter 437

That said, Wrenna did not want to hear his answer.

"Damian, it's okay. I'll do my best. I'll make you fall in love with me, eventually," she said with a shivering voice and forced out a smile.

She quickly wiped away the tears that seeped out from her eyes.

"Wren, I... "

"I'll stay in the dormitory for the next few days, Damian. But don't worry. I'll be back soon. I still have to make you fall in love with me after all.”

Damian let out a deep sigh.

"Alright. If you need anything, ask Cora to send them to you."

"Okay, I will."

With that, silence ensued, but Wrenna was reluctant to end the call until Damian ended it. Only by then did she frown at her phone.

It took a while before she got back into the dorm.

"How was it? Did he say anything? Did he apologize? Or did he show his hand?" Dora was clearly the most passionate one amongst them about it.

Wrenna shook her head. "No."

"No? No, he did not apologize? Or no, he didn't show his hand?"

"Yeah. Damian doesn't need to apologize. He did nothing wrong after all. He did not show his hand either because there's nothing to show. There's nothing going on between them. I think the girl intentionally said those things to trigger me. I'm not falling for it again. Since Damian didn't say anything, whatever she said was moot.

As she was saying that, Wrenna made a decision in her head. She decided that she was going to trust everything Damian said from then onward.

"That's it?"

Dora was not satisfied with the outcome of the call, and Linda also thought things should not be that easy.

"Wren, what did Mr. Quigley say? Do you actually believe him? Who knows? He might just be coaxing you."

Wrenna shook her head immediately. "He's not. Damian's not the sort of guy. If he really wanted to be with her, he wouldn't have married me in the first place, or he would've just asked for us to break up immediately. Things wouldn't turn out like this. Damian is an honest guy. He wouldn't lie to me."

The girls looked at each other as they listened to Wrenna.

Why does she sound like she's proud of that?

They knew Wrenna was not going to listen to what they said, so they turned toward Xandra seeking help.

"What are you looking at me for?" Xandra raised an eyebrow.

"Xandra doesn't need to say anything," Wrenna said. "Was I wrong? I know you two think I'm dumb, and I'll get bullied. But don't underestimate me. I grew up with Damian, so I know what kind of person he is. As long as we don't get a divorce, I won't get bullied. As for his first love, I could always just tell his mom about it if I really can't handle it. She'll help me settle it for sure."

They all went quiet.

Is that okay?

"Is his mother that powerful? Will she side with you?"

"Of course, she was the one that disapproved of their relationship back then. Did it not work out? She's the best in-law anyone could ever have. Beautiful, elegant, and has a good temper. She cares about me more than my mom."

"Tsk. I wish I had an in-law like that."

"But you don't..." Wrenna said with a smug face.

She felt that the dormitory was definitely the place to be for her to pick herself up.

At night, she lay on her bed with a facial mask on her face as she played games on her phone, completely forgetting about Damian.

It was rare for her to do something like that. She did not have to think about Damian nor let him affect her mood.

Meanwhile, Dora was chatting with some boy from school via text. Both Linda and Xandra were reading with their feet in a footbath.

And after losing a few rounds on her game, Wrenna decided to stop playing.

She looked at the three, who were all quietly doing their thing, and felt bored. Suddenly, she asked, "Hey guys, can you help me come up with a way for Damian to love me? I already registered for the cooking class, but it hasn't started. Besides cooking, are there any other ways? You read a lot of romance novels, Dora. Do you have any advice?"

Back then, she never spoke directly to her dorm mates about how Damian did not love her.

But now, things were out in the open, so there was nothing left to hide as she sought out ways to obtain Damian's love.

Dora raised her head and said, "Wrenna, you're a beautiful young lady with all the right qualities. If a man doesn't love you, it's on them. Maybe you're just not Damian's type. If that's the case, there's no changing that."

"I don't think so." Linda had a different opinion.

"I think the best way to do it is to let the feeling slowly develop and bloom. You and Mr. Quigley have not been living together for long. It takes time for you two to better understand each other, and by then, he'll definitely see how great you are and fall in love with you."

Dora chuckled when she heard that. "Develop over time? Well, something's definitely going to develop. It just might not be love."

Everyone seemed to understand what she meant.

Wrenna flushed and chose to ignore her.

"Nonsense. Linda's right. I need to be with him more. Even though we grew up together, we never spent much time with each other. We didn't even see each other much during the time of our engagement. He was always busy with work. Moreover, there was some distance between us. But now that we're married, we'll get to see each other more often."

As Wrenna spoke, it dawned on her.

"Wait. I need to go back. I can't waste a single second."

She wanted to spend time with Damian as much as possible.

Damian was swamped with work during the day, so Wrenna did not see him. It was a great waste of time if she did not see him during the night because of their argument.

Thus, Wrenna immediately got up, put on some clothes, and called the driver to come to fetch her.

No one could stop her as she was convinced.

"That woman might take advantage of the situation if I'm not home right now. I can't let that happen. Not even for one night," she said as she grabbed her coat and ran out of the dormitory.

The person in charge of the dorm was startled by the commotion and was rather unhappy. But when she saw Wrenna, her expression changed.

It was because Wrenna always brought her gifts and did favors for her, so the lady had a bias towards her.

So, she opened the door for Wrenna and watched her go out. It was late at night, so the school was practically dead silent. However, all Wrenna could think about was Damian. She did not even consider how dangerous it was at night.

Luckily, after a few minutes, the car arrived at the school gate, and Wrenna got oi without a hitch.

That said, it was not the driver in the driver's seat but Damian.

"Damian!" Wrenna was surprised to see him when she got in the car.

Damian turned around and looked at her as she smiled. She was wearing pajamas under her coat and even had bunny ears on her head.

It was obvious that she came out in a hurry.

"Why do you suddenly want to go back? Is there an emergency?" Damian asked.

He figured Wrenna would not have called otherwise.

Hearing that, Wrenna was suddenly at a loss for words.

She looked really awkward as she did not want to tell Damian she was afraid that Stella might take advantage of the situation.

"I... I can't sleep in that bed."

Her excuse was a little far-fetched.

"That's right. The bed at home is way more comfortable."

After that, Damian started the engine and slowly drove home.

On the way back, it felt like time flew. Wrenna did not even get the chance to talk to Damian before they reached home.

"It's late. You should get some rest," Damian said when they got back.

"Are you not sleeping?" Wrenna grabbed Damian's arm. "Where are you going?"

Damian lowered his head and looked at Wrenna's hand, holding tightly onto him.

"Wren. I need to take a bath first." He smiled.

"Oh... Okay. I'll go back to the room then."

Wrenna blushed and immediately ran upstairs like she was a little rabbit making its escape.

After Damian bathed, he came into the room while Wrenna lay in bed. That said, she was merely pretending to be asleep.

Then, she felt the bed sink a little behind her, followed by a sense of warmth.

The lights quietly switched off, and Wrenna could feel the breathing behind her. So, she mustered up her courage, bit her lips, and turned around, rolling right into Damian. Then, she reached out and wrapped her hands around his chest, all while keeping up the act of her being sound asleep.

Nevertheless, Damian did not push her away. Instead, he wrapped his arm around her shoulder and slept like that.

Wrenna was secretly smiling.

I'll have sweet dreams tonight.

...

In the morning, Damian was the one who sent Wrenna to school, and she was in an excellent mood because of it.

Doesn't this mean that Damian is actually trying to make things work as well?

The moment Wrenna arrived at the dorm, Dora yelled, "Wrenna, we're attending the young and beautiful teacher's class today! Are you going? I want to become an independent woman, just like her!" "No. I'm not interested in being an independent woman. I want to be Damian's woman."

"Tsk... You guys made up after just one night? Good for you. But you really should've used this chance to give him the cold treatment. Going back like that is so embarrassing."

"It doesn't matter. Damian and I are fine with it."

"Well, we are not in her shoes," Xandra added.

"Yeah. Xandra's right. Just go! By the way, Xandra. Do we have class later?"

"Oh? You actually remember that you're a student?"

Wrenna smiled apologetically in response.

"I remember. Come on now, let's go," Wrenna said and dragged Xandra out of the room.

The class they were attending was located at the Department of Art. And Wrenna practically slept through half of it.

After class, they met up with Dora and Linda at an intersection.

"Wow! Ms. Lane is amazing! She's my role model from now on!" Dora exclaimed with her fist clenched and sparkles in her eyes.

"How so?"
