You’ll Fall for Me, Today or Tomorrow

Halfway through the meal, Damian left in a hurry.

The reason was Johannes' words had struck a nerve with him, causing him pain.

Do I really have feelings for Wrenna? The romantic kind instead of those felt for a sibling?

The reason was that he lusted after her.

However, when he saw Wrenna as his sister, he felt bad for having dirty thoughts about her. Hence, he always tried his best to suppress them.

But now, it was obvious that he had romantic feelings for her all this while.

The problem was he didn't realize it until it was too late. Wrenna no longer had feelings for him and even divorced him.

As the gravity of the situation dawned upon him, he felt hurt and dejected. However, he knew that he only had himself to blame.

His first love was a trap, which had become a black mark in his life. As for his second relationship, he had allowed himself to let it slip away. Hence, Damian wondered if he had been cursed by fate.

As of that moment, he had no idea what to do.

Regardless of how difficult the problems at a huge conglomerate like Tyson Corporation were, Damian never had any difficulty solving them. Hence, he didn't expect himself to be at a loss when it came to relationships.

After stopping his car outside D University, Damian wanted to see Wrenna. However, he began to hesitate instead.

Sitting inside the car, he fell into deep thought. Everything that happened between Wrenna and him flashed across his mind.

Damian had watched her grow up. As she was younger than Leia by a little, both of them would always be playing together while he would be responsible for watching over them.

In the beginning, he didn't think much about it as he only saw Wrenna as a sister.

So when did she start having feelings for me? Probably when she kept blushing every time she saw me. Also, her gaze would always trail wherever I went. After all, it's hard for a teenage girl to hide the changing hormones of her youth.

At that time, she really was just a kid. At the very least, she was a kid from Damian's perspective. Furthermore, he spent a lot of time with Stella.

Given that Damian wasn't a fool, he wasn't oblivious to the fact that Wrenna had a crush on him. However, he didn't bring it up just so that she wouldn't feel awkward. However, when Stella was sharing a meal with them, she revealed Wrenna's feelings for him. Consequently, Wrenna fled in tears of embarrassment. However, Stella had put on an innocent expression after that, causing Damian to argue with her over what she did.

Now that he thought of it, he realized that Stella had done it on purpose.

After that, Wrenna mostly played with Leia and seldom appeared wherever he was. On his end, he too had tried to avoid her on purpose.

It wasn't until the breakup with Stella that Wrenna reappeared in his life. She comforted him and stayed by his side to support him.

When Damian came back from overseas, he had forgotten about the fact that Wrenna had a crush on him. Unexpectedly, Wrenna took the initiative to get close to him. Since everyone knew what her intentions were, they created opportunities for her. However, Damian didn't reciprocate her feelings for him until their engagement.

He knew that the reason he agreed to the engagement was just to fulfill his mom's wish. Moreover, he was confident that Wrenna would make a good wife. Hence, it seemed like a decent idea after all. Back then, he didn't realize that he had feelings for her, and his actions were actually guided by his own subconscious mind.

He had always assumed that it was because of him being used to her presence.

That was what crossed his mind when Wrenna took the initiative to get close to him.

Unfortunately, he was slow to have realized the truth.

Is it too late for regrets now?

Wrenna had woken up early. Once she was ready, she headed downstairs to have breakfast. However, she didn't expect to see Damian waiting for her outside her dorm.

Damian was in a blue suit with his collar open. Digging one hand in his pocket, he was holding some food with the other.

Standing in front of her, he looked dashing underneath the sunlight that had filtered through the trees.

At the sight of Damian, Wrenna's expression warmed, just like the sun that was shining upon him.

"Wrenna."

"Damian."

After addressing him that way for more than ten years, it was hard for her to change.

Damian smiled plainly. "I bought breakfast."

Wrenna was surprised. "Did you come here on purpose?"

"Mmm-hmm. I wanted to apologize to you for being rude the other day. I'm sorry, Wrenna."

However, given how busy she was recently, Wrenna didn't let what happened the other night bother her.

"It's nothing, Damian. I have already forgotten about it. There's no need for you to come by on purpose."

Damian didn't know whether to laugh or to cry at her response.

Back then, Wrenna cared a lot about his feelings. But now, it didn't seem to matter to her at all.

"Just forget about it. Let's find a place to have breakfast. After all, I haven't eaten yet."

"Let's go to the cafeteria then." Sᴇaʀ*ᴄh the FɪndNøvel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Wrenna brought Damian to the closest cafeteria. Settling down in a quiet corner, both of them began to have breakfast.

A long time had passed since both of them had breakfast together.

Hence, Damian was comforted by the fact that they were still able to do so. Back then, he would be upset if he didn't manage to have the breakfast she prepared. But now, he didn't care what he ate. All that mattered was that he could enjoy breakfast with her.

"Damian, why do you keep looking at me? Is there something on my face?"

The way Damian stared at her had made Wrenna feel self-conscious. It gave her the urge to feel her face for any stains.

However, before her hand could touch her face, Damian had caught it instead.

Smiling casually, he ran his fingertips over her cheeks briefly before retracting them. Moreover, he didn't say a word throughout. "All right, let's eat."

Not suspecting anything, Wrenna thanked him with a smile before continuing with her food.

However, Damian was jolted by it. In fact, he could even feel the burning sensation in his fingers.

After breakfast, Damian had to leave as Wrenna prepared to go to the library.

"Wrenna, shall I pick you up for dinner in the evening?"

"Huh? In the evening? I have class, Damian. I'm sorry."

"No matter, your lessons take precedence. I'll do it some other time."

"All right. In that case, I'm going off."

With that, Wrenna turned to leave without any hesitation.

However, Damian continued to stare at her silhouette and was reluctant to go.

Now that he realized he had feelings for her, watching her filled his heart with a myriad of complex emotions. There was delight, frustration, anticipation...

So this is what love feels like.

For the next few days, Wrenna continued on her routine for class and meals.

However, something was obviously different.

Within a single week, Wrenna had received three phone calls a day from Damian. He didn't call with any particular reason in mind other than to show concern about her life and studies. Furthermore, he would pick her up five times a week and take her out for dinner. Moreover, he would bring her to all her favorite places.

Even if it was a humble stall by the street, he too would accompany her there.

Besides, Damian would even buy her presents. Every time, he would tell her that he bought one for Leia too as Clarissa had instructed him to treat both Leia and Wrenna equally.

Even though Wrenna didn't feel like accepting the presents, she never did voice her objections.

Given that it was the weekend, Damian invited her out for dinner. Instead of sending her back to her dorm when they finished, he took her to see a movie instead.

"Let's go. I'll collect the tickets as I have already made reservations. It's a light-hearted romantic flick. Besides, Johannes and his girlfriend have watched it already. I heard it has good reviews and is really funny," Damian introduced the movie as a matter of factly.

After collecting the tickets, he went to buy some popcorn and drinks.

With that, Wrenna unsuspectingly followed Damian into the theater. Inside, she watched the movie while munching on popcorn.

The audience's occasional laughter helped Wrenna to feel more relaxed as she concentrated on the movie. The male and female leads acted out the light-hearted movie in a humorous manner. In fact, Wrenna enjoyed watching romantic flicks where the theme involved suppressed memories and coming back from the dead.

By the time they were out of the movie theater, Wrenna was in a jovial mood.

Amidst the leaving crowd, Damian put his arm around Wrenna's shoulder to protect her. It wasn't until they came out that Wrenna noticed his hand. Damian then casually withdrew it as if nothing had happened He suggested with a smile. "It's getting late. Do you want to stay over at Jackdaws Mansion? After all, it's Sunday tomorrow and you can sleep in. It's good that you're working hard, but it pays to rest once in a while. I'm sure you know this without even having me to nag."

"I know, Damian. But, I'm not going back to school. I'm heading home instead. My dad told me that he will be taking Mom and me out for the day."

They were going to Sunshine Villa which was located on a farm. Considering that the fruits and vegetables were in season, there would be a lot of agricultural products available for harvesting. Moreover, fresh fruits were Wrenna's favorite.

"Oh, you must be going to Sunshine Villa. My parents and I will be there too. Hence, I can drive you there tomorrow."

"I don't think that's a good idea. It's better that I head home."

Given how persistent Wrenna was, Damian had no more reason to insist.

He smiled. "All right, I'll send you home then."

Back at home, Wrenna was at the receiving end of Henry's temper.

"Why are you seeing Damian again? Besides, why does he seem so free?"

"Is he?"

Thinking about it, Wrenna did notice that Damian appeared to have a lot more time on his hands recently.

Back then, he had always been busy. Whenever she asked him out on a date, she would end up waiting for hours. Either that or their dates would be interrupted by work. Now that he was seeing her so often through the week, Wrenna wondered if Tyson Corporation's business was flagging.

Despite the questions she had, Wrenna kept them to herself.

After a brief chat with her parents, she went back to her room to rest.

However, Henry, who was feeling upset, complained to his wife, "Yaala, something is up with Damian. He must be harboring bad intentions."

Given that Henry too had a change of heart back then toward Yaala, he could easily recognize what Damian was up to.
