You’ll Fall for Me, Today or Tomorrow
Chapter 469

Wrenna let loose of herself after suppressing her needs and wants for such a long time. It was five o'clock in the morning by the time she had enough singing.

She hailed another cab and asked the driver to drive her around the city until she caught a glimpse of the sun rising from the horizon.

Unable to stand it anymore, the driver turned around and asked the seemingly heartbroken young woman, "Miss, where are you going?" The moment she made her way into the car, the driver knew the young woman had just gone through a breakup.

Although it was a great opportunity for him to generate a fortune, he couldn't stand taking advantage of a vulnerable young woman.

To his surprise, Wrenna reassured him, "Just keep going, mister."

Heaving a long sigh, the driver remarked, "Miss, have you just gone through a major breakup or some hurdles at work? Well, life has its ups and downs! However, none of this will last! In a few years, you're going to look back and think that you are hilarious! You need to stop dwelling in the past and pull yourself together!"

Wrenna turned around and asked the driver, "Are you sure things will be fine in the future?"

"Of course! I have gone through a few ups and downs in life! I almost had my limbs amputated after a serious accident! My wife filed for divorce from me and left our son with me over the night! My son..." As the man in front of her went on and on, Wrenna's eyes widened in disbelief. In the end, she remarked, "Mister, you seem to be having it tough as well."

"You might think it's tough and unbearable, but it's just a trivial matter in life! As long as we're alive, nothing else matters! What do you think, Miss?"

"I might have been making a fuss out of a trivial matter. To be honest, the fact my husband doesn't share the affection I have for him isn't even a big deal as compared to the issues you have in life." "Miss, it's just another man! I was also a douchebag when I was young! Therefore, my wife filed for divorce from me! However, she's living a great life with her current spouse! In fact, she was blessed with two adorable children! I'm sure you're going to get yourself an equally exceptional man since you're such a gorgeous woman! If worse comes to worst, just file for divorce from your husband! If you don't mind, I'll introduce my nephew to you! He's quite a remarkable young man with a stable source of income and considerably impressive achievements!"

Wrenna chuckled and said, "Mister, I'm still married to my current husband as we speak."

"Well, you might change your mind soon. If you feel like it, just get in touch with me and I'll introduce my nephew to you!"

"Well, you have my thanks, Mister."

"You're welcome! Speaking of which, you need to make up your mind soon since he's such an exceptional young man! If you think it's time to sever ties with your current husband, just go ahead and pursue your happiness! After all, it's your life we're talking about!"

Wrenna grinned and instructed, "Mister, can you drop me off at D University?"

"Sure! Are you a student at D University? It has always been one of my many dreams to further my education since we had rather limited alternatives back in the day!"

The man brought up all sorts of topics to divert Wrenna's attention. In the end, he urged her to take control of her life and live life to the fullest.

Wrenna was aware he had been trying to do her a favor to make her day. Thus, she made up her mind to share her great experience with the driver to others.

When Wrenna returned to the dormitory, Xandra had long roused from her sleep, but the rest were still sleeping soundly.

Startled by Wrenna's presence early in the morning, it merely took Xandra a few seconds to comprehend the reason Wrenna had shown up in a similar set of clothes she put on the day before. "Where have you been? Didn't you go home? What's going on?"

Wrenna marched in the direction of her bed and announced, "I'm in desperate need of sleep after spending the entire night singing out loud at a karaoke."

She tucked herself in once she shared her whereabouts with her friend.

Staring at Wrenna with a frown, Xandra thought it wouldn't be wise to pick on her exhausted friend. She spent her morning in the dormitory since she had nothing else on her schedule.

When Wrenna's dormitory mates returned with their meal for lunch at noon, Wrenna was still sleeping soundly.

Dora whispered, "Is something wrong with Wren again? Why has she spent the night at the karaoke after camping at the library over the past few weeks? Who could've kept her company throughout the night? Linda asked, "Maybe it's her friends from elsewhere?"

The observant Xandra was of the same idea. She said, "Well, I think something's wrong, but we'll have to wait until she's awake to figure out what's wrong!"

Wrenna skipped the lessons throughout the day, behaving like the old self she used to be and roused from her sleep only in the late afternoon.

She started spacing out on her seat after bringing herself out of bed.

Dora broke the silence and asked, "Wren, are you okay?"

"H-Huh? O-Oh! I-I'm just hungry!"

Dora rolled her eyes and brought her friend the meal they had gotten her. "We bought you something to eat, but it might not taste as great anymore since it had been sitting there for quite a few hours." Wrenna finally snapped out of bewilderment and answered with a smile, "Thanks a lot!"

She finally returned to her usual sprightly self as soon as she finished her meal.

Xandra had gotten herself ready to confront their seemingly heartbroken friend with her arms tucked.

"It's time for you to tell us the truth!"

"H-Huh?" The confused Wrenna repeated after her friend, "What sort of truth?"

"Why did you spend the night at the karaoke instead of returning home? Was anyone else there with you?"

"O-Oh! I spent the night singing after catching a movie in the cinema and dining at a nearby restaurant. I went around the city and caught the sun rising early in the morning before I came back. Is something wrong? I just thought of trying all these since I have never done any of these on my own. It's time for me to take a short break after tiring myself out over the past few weeks."

"Are you sure it was nothing more than a short break?"

Wrenna's friends weren't convinced at all. They had their doubts and thought Wrenna would never indulge herself doing all that alone.

"Of course! Since everyone told me I looked different, I thought it was time to take a break from everything! At the end of the day, I'm not a robot! I need to get myself ready for the upcoming hectic schedules and semesters!"

"Well, I guess you're right since you're a soon-to-be student of the Department of Economics. You can't skip your lessons whenever you feel like it anymore." Truth be told, Wrenna wasn't supposed to skip any of the lessons. However, since there was someone to liaise with the lecturers, it wasn't much of a big deal. Meanwhile, Wrenna finally convinced her friends with something she had made up. She had no intention to share her concerns with them anymore. Similarly, her friends knew they weren't supposed to poke their noses into her business since Wrenna seemed to be fine.

"We're going to have a short break in a few days! Shall we go for a short getaway together?"

Wrenna was taken aback by what Dora brought up out of nowhere.

"A short getaway? I think I'll sit this one out since I need to catch up with the rest for the upcoming assessments! Also, I need to pay my parents and in-laws a visit!" "I-I have asked a few of my friends out with me as well."

"Dora, why don't you take a break instead of wasting your time cramping with others during the holidays?"

"No! It's time for me to go out there and meet my better half!"

As the duo continued teasing one another, Wrenna caught Xandra staring at her in the eyes the moment she raised her head.

Wrenna grinned in return, assuring Xandra everything was fine, but Xandra couldn't care less and returned to her seat.

Sighing, Wrenna reached for her phone to get herself occupied, but she wasn't even aware of the things on the screen since her mind was elsewhere.

She couldn't gather her thoughts even after the long nap. It was merely another attempt of hers to deceive herself.

She returned to Jackdaws Mansion in the evening. Coincidentally, Damian was home for dinner. Once they finished everything Cora made them, they went out for a stroll in the garden. Damian turned around and found out Wrenna was in a great mood after stressing herself out over the past few weeks.

Most of the time, she was nowhere to be seen by the time he roused from his sleep in the morning. Thus, he couldn't even recall the last time she was around him without her books. What was Wren up to when she hadn't picked up the habits of hanging out in the library back in the day?

Oh! She spent most of her time waiting for me outside of my office and trying to make me something to eat! Otherwise, she would think of all sorts of things to keep us occupied!

I was the only one she cared about, but I had always wanted her to spend more time improving herself instead of trying to please me.

She's no longer the same. I guess it's great since she has finally learned to put herself before others.

Damian snapped out of his process of thought and asked, "Wren, are you happy? Don't you think it's worth it since you have finally found the things worthy of your time in life? I'm glad you're enjoying the things you're doing!"

Wrenna went dead silent for a short while. A few seconds later, she answered while shrugging her shoulders, "I guess you're right, Damian."

She responded with a smile and stared dead ahead, enjoying the scene with the man next to her since it was such a rare occasion.
