Wrenna noticed Hailey's strange expression.

She felt doubtful and worried about Hailey at the same time.

After all, Hailey had always been full of smiles ever since Wrenna knew her, except for the time when Colton went to look for her.

However, a look of intense hatred was burning in her eyes this time.

Still distracted, Hailey mumbled, "Nothing. I just saw someone earlier. Let's go and eat!"

Since Hailey did not elaborate, Wrenna did not ask further. They drove to a restaurant that Hailey had made a reservation at and ate together.

During the meal, Hailey had already resumed her normal state. She discussed with Wrenna about the live broadcast and how to help others after it became popular. Wrenna gave very good suggestions for that.

As such, Hailey completely forgot about her previous encounter with Stella.

However, after she sent Wrenna back to school, she could not help but ask, "Wren, Colton told me that you're Damian's wife. Do you know who Stella is?"

Wrenna nodded. "Yeah. Do you know her too, Hailey?"

She smirked coldly. "Of course. Wren, Stella's a manipulative and hypocritical woman. You mustn't be tricked by her."

Hailey's remark on Stella completely matched Wrenna's opinions on her.

Hence, Wrenna immediately nodded and gazed at Hailey firmly to show her agreement.

"Yeah, Hailey! You're right. I think that Stella's like that as well... She's simply too despicable!"

"Did she do anything to you?"

Wrenna told Hailey everything that Stella had done.

In the past, she had no one to confide in. But, she could now spill everything to Hailey without any inhibitions, not even needing to conceal the fact that Stella had a miscarriage. Feeling the pressure being lifted off her, she told Hailey everything.

After a moment of contemplation, Hailey told her, "Wren, Stella did all those because she wants to sow discord between you and Damian. As long as you are honest with him and tell him everything, there won't be any problems."

"That's what I think too. I will never leave Damian."

"Although Colton has also found out about Stella's miscarriage, you must still be doubtful about it."

"Is it possible that she faked it? That doesn't seem quite likely. Did she already think of faking her miscarriage back then? Can't we replace out if it's a lie by checking the hospital records? She can't possibly think so far ahead, right?"

Hailey shook her head. "It might not be false. However, from my understanding of Stella, she will never have a miscarriage if she had Damian's child. Instead, she will marry him because of it. That's her usual way of doing things. Her miscarriage, regardless of whether it was intentional or accidental, doesn't really suit her style. There must be a secret behind this. You mustn't be convinced by her, okay? She claims that she loves Damian, but in my opinion, her love always has an ulterior motive. She definitely doesn't love him as much as you do."

"Wow... Hailey, you understand Stella so well. Did you know her previously?"

Hailey paled. A while passed before she said, "I used to be friends with her, but I've been harmed by her. Since then, I realized how vicious and selfish she is. That's why I will never believe that she'll actually love a man genuinely. The person she loves the most is herself."

Wrenna did not dare to ask Hailey how she had been harmed. However, looking at Hailey's expression, it was probably a very devastating experience.

As Wrenna did not know how to console Hailey, she hugged her and gave her an encouraging smile.

"Let bygones be bygones, Hailey. We must be wary and strive for a chance to take revenge on this woman in the future. A bad person like her will never have a good ending."

Hailey laughed too. "Yeah, she will never end up well."

Wrenna returned home early to prepare dinner.

When Damian returned and she saw how satisfied he was with her cooking, she felt extremely happy.

After eating, they took a stroll together and Wrenna suddenly mentioned Hailey.

"Damian, do you know Hailey?"

"Hailey?"

Damian thought about it. "Yeah, we haven't been in contact for ages. Do you know her?"

"Yeah, I got to know her through a coincidence. She's an extremely impressive sewist. I even helped to promote her!"

Damian mumbled an acknowledgement, looking like he was immersed in his memories.

"Damian, how did you know Hailey?"

He fell silent for a while before replying honestly, "She was Stella's friend."

"Oh."

Wrenna regretted saying it. Although she had already expected his answer, she still felt unhappy after hearing it from him. Noticing her gloomy mood, Damian turned around and hugged her.

"It's all in the past, Wren."

"I know."

Wrenna leaned her forehead against Damian's chest and mumbled softly without lifting her head.

"I know... I didn't say anything either."

If she doesn't say anything, it means that she feels really upset, right?

"You..."

Damian was about to console her further when her expression immediately changed.

"I was joking with you! Haha! Damian, I'm fine. I'm really fine."

Wrenna burst out laughing, as if it was hilarious that she managed to trick him.

Laughing as well, he shook his head.

"You little brat..."

"Brat? I said that I'm your wife! Don't treat me as a child or a little sister..." protested Wrenna, not happy about it.

She grabbed Damian's arm and shook it forcefully.

Damin quickly relented.

"Alright! You're not a little sister or a child. You're my wife."

Wrenna pouted and protested again, "Can your little sister cook for you and sleep with you every day? Can she care for you so much? Leia definitely won't do half of what I do." Damian laughed.

"I won't marry my sister either."

Wrenna snorted when she heard that.

Didn't he say that he'll love me as a sister when he married me?

Damian still treated her like his little sister. Although they were very intimate, there was no romantic spark between them.

Wrenna could not help but feel disappointed.

Whenever she was with him, she never saw him blush or have any reactions to her body. He did not even have any desire to touch her or be intimate with her...

That was what a man would feel toward a woman.

Yet, although they were a married couple, they lived like siblings.

Wrenna had seen a post saying that if a man loved a woman, he would desire to touch her body. Of course, that did not necessarily mean they loved each other.

However, if he did not even have any physical reactions toward her, he definitely did not love her. Perhaps, he did not view her as a woman at all.

In that case, he viewed her as a relative or a little sister.

Wrenna wanted to ask Damian if he would ever fall in love with another woman again.

She was greedy as she wanted them to not only be married but also to be a couple sincerely in love.

"Why aren't you saying anything?"

Damian stroked Wrenna's head, not understanding why she was in a foul mood again.

Wrenna squeezed out a smile. "I'm thinking about what I should cook over the weekend and where we should go."

Suddenly remembering something, Damain said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Wren. I need to go overseas over the weekend to settle something, so I can't spend time with you... But I can bring back some souvenirs if you'd like, okay?"

Wrenna pouted. "Okay, I know that you're busy, so I don't need a present. If you have the time, just get more rest."

"You're such a thoughtful wife."

Wrenna accepted that compliment readily.

"Look at how sensible I am, Damian!"

"Yeah, you're a sensible Mrs. Quigley."

Damian's praises were rather boring and repetitive.

Like what Clarissa said, he was starting to become like Mathew-more mature and distant.

Damian, who used to be so adorable and knew how to please women, had grown up to become so much worse.

Clarissa actually used the word 'worse' to describe her son, which was quite ruthless of her.

When Wrenna was eating with Clarissa over the weekend, that was how she described her son.

"Mom, Damian's still a very handsome man. You can't describe him like that!"

"Why can't I? You've seen how adorable and chubby he used to be in his childhood photos, right? Look at him now-all cold and aloof. Didn't he become worse when he grew up? When he was younger, he was so good with his words! Now, he is so thick in the head that he doesn't know what to say. In the past, he could please me all the time, but now, he can't even do that. Whenever he talks to me, he sounds so stiff. How annoying! That's why I said he has become worse!"

Wrenna could not help but laugh, but that did not mean she agreed with Clarissa. To her, Damian was the best.

However, she could not hold her laughter back at Clarissa's amusing comment.

She could not help but imagine what Damian looked like when he was a chubby boy who was great at coaxing others. It was a really entertaining image.

Wrenna said, "Mom, I want to see some pictures of Damian when he was younger."

Clarissa generously showed the photos of him naked and wetting his bed. Wrenna could not hold her laughter back at all.

"He's simply too cute!"

Clarissa saw how much Wrenna loved the younger Damian and said with a smile, "You can have a child with him. I am sure he will be so much cuter than his father."
