novelxo Chapter 492
Damian brought Wrenna to a high-end restaurant with him instead of returning to the Tyson residence.
It was a restaurant with great ambiance and good view as well as privacy since most of the seats were separated from one another.
Wrenna looked out the window and had her eyes glued to the fountain. She asked, "Damian, when have you found this restaurant? It's an awesome restaurant! The dishes taste great as well!" Smiling, Damian suggested, "You can always drop by whenever you feel like it in the future."
"I'm sure it's tough to get myself a seat, isn't it?”
Damian shook his head and reassured the woman, "The owner of the restaurant is a close acquaintance of mine. I'll just give him a call and get him to do me a favor."
Wrenna wrapped up the conversation and started savoring the dishes in front of her. She was on cloud nine since the dishes were of superb quality.
Similarly, Damian was thrilled and found the woman in front of him adorable. He thought something must be wrong with him since he had failed to appreciate her presence back in the day.
The moment she raised her head and caught a glimpse of his passionate gaze, she frowned since he seemed to have his eyes glued to her throughout the meal.
Damian was aware of the things going on in her mind. Hence, he brought something else up to divert her attention to stop her from overthinking things.
Taking a seat next to the fountain after their meal, Wrenna was all smiles as it was a carefree day with Damian around to take care of her needs.
Out of the blue, Wrenna remarked, "Damian, you need to stop looking after me unless you want others to misperceive the sort of relationship we have. Aunt Clarissa called me in the morning and expressed he concerns over your future. She told me to urge you to get yourself into a relationship as soon as possible."
Damian thought it was another attempt of his mother to embarrass him in order to matchmake them.
He shrugged his shoulders and remarked, "You know we're not supposed to force that, don't you?"
Halfway through his orated speech, he responded with a sheepish grin. "You're also aware I can't open up to others because of the things I have gone through, aren't you? Apart from my close acquaintances, I don't feel comfortable around strangers. It's just me being me. Maybe I'll get over it someday in the future, but not now."
"I-I'm so sorry for bringing this up, Damian. I-I'll keep in mind not to..." Wrenna stammered in return when she heard him.
The man shook his head and assured her, "It's fine since you're merely trying to do me a favor. Can you keep this a secret amongst us? It's quite embarrassing to share this with others."
"Your secrets are safe with me, Damian! You have my words!" she reassured him she would never turn her back against him.
Unaware of the things going on in Damian's mind when he reached over and held her hands, Wrenna ended up returning the favor in an attempt to console the seemingly upset man. "Damian, it's perfectly fine to run into jerks when we're young! We need to stop dwelling in the past and move on for the sake of the ones who truly care about us!"
Unable to suppress his emotions, he inched over and held her in his arms, whispering in an affectionate tone, "Wrenna, thanks for being around."
"Damian, you know that's not necessary. I'll always be around whenever you need someone to lend you their ears!"
Damian couldn't bring himself away from her as he couldn't calm himself just yet. It took him a few minutes to regain his composure.
Once he returned to his senses, he finally inched away from Wrenna as much as he was against the idea of leaving her.
In spite of being thrilled, he kept his emotions to himself and continued playing the victim in front of her.
Wrenna felt awful when she caught a glimpse of the man's melancholic look. She thought she was the one at fault since she had brought up the topic.
Therefore, she thought of doing something to cheer him up for a change of mood. She asked, "Shall we make a trip to the theme park? I had always wanted to ask my friends to join me, but I was occupied with all sorts of things! Why don't you join me?"
There was no way Damian would turn her down since quite a lot of facilities in the theme park were meant for couples.
Unable to think of a place to go, he thought it was a great idea to visit the theme park.
Thus, he played along with her and brought her to the theme park in spite of the hot weather.
There were long lines everywhere since couples as well as families had flocked to the theme park since it was a wonderful weekend.
Wrenna thought of riding the pirate ship, one of the most thrilling rides available, and ended up in a long line.
Damian got her a hat to shelter her from the scorching sun. On top of that, he bought her ice cream and kept her safe in his arms when they were in the line.
He stood next to her in an attempt to keep her from the sun. When he caught her perspiring, he would wipe her sweat off her face.
The good-looking duo's interaction had garnered the attention of the onlookers, but Wrenna paid no heed to Damian's affectionate actions since she had a great time savoring the ice cream.
"Can you stop staring at him in the eyes?" A jealous young man asked when he saw his girlfriend staring at Damian with her eyes gleaming.
She reprimanded him in front of
others, "Hello? Stop picking on me when you're the one neglecting me Why don't you learn from him and
care of me in a similar manner instead of focusing on your phone? I'll crash it if you don't put that away!"
The young man knew he was the one at fault. Immediately, he put his phone aside and wrapped his arms around his girlfriend. They finally patched things up with one another after bickering for another few minutes.
Wrenna heard the conversation of
the duo and announced in a hushed voice, "Damian, I'm pretty sure they've misperceived our
relationship! Well, I guess I need to consider myself lucky to have such a caring brother!"
Wrenna thought it wasn't such a bad idea to have a caring friend. She finally figured out the reason others. had always wanted an elder brother. After all, it felt great to be spoiled by others every once in a while.
Damian was at a loss for words; his frustration was written all over his scrunched-up face. However, Wrenna wasn't aware of the things going on.
She wrapped her arms around him and grinned in return. The onlookers got increasingly envious due to the duo's affectionate interactions.
Once they boarded the ride, Wrenna took a photo of both of them smiling happily. However, Damian started yelling at the top of his lungs the moment the ride started.
Nonetheless, he didn't want to admit he was the one yelling throughout the ride. After all, he wasn't the only one doing that.
His leg turned to jelly once they were done with the ride. In the end, he made something up and accused others as he marched in the direction of the bench with Wrenna's support.
Wrenna handed him a bottle of water and remained silent. After a few minutes, she remarked with a smile, "Damian, I was almost deaf because of the ones yelling throughout the ride. Did you hear them?"
The man was rendered speechless since he could vividly recall he was the loudest one amongst the rest.
"Are you afraid of the ride, Damian?"
"M-Me? N-No! What about you? Were you afraid? You don't have to worry since you're in good hands!"
He held her in his arms, caressing her in an attempt to calm himself and disguise the fact he was horrified by the ride.
Wrenna found him hilarious but tried her best to suppress the urge to laugh. As a result, Damian caught her lips twitching against her will the moment he moved away from her.
His expression turned grim. In order to prove himself, he suggested with an awkward smile, "S-Shall we try something else? What about the roller coaster?"
"Shall we try something else since I'm not really a fan of thrilling rides as such?" Wrenna asked with a smile, indicating she was well aware of his concerns.
He had no intention to act tough. Thus, he asked, "I-If that's the case, we'll forget about it and take a short break. Shall we check out the booths over there?"
"Sure!"
Damian got increasingly embarrassed since he was aware it was Wrenna's attempt to do him a favor and spare him from another ride.
With that being said, he wasn't against the idea of trying out something that wasn't as thrilling as the pirate ship.
They thought it was time to return in the evening. On their way back, Damian broke the silence when he found out Wrenna had been trying to suppress her urge to laugh again. "Wrenna, you can laugh out loud if you see anything hilarious."
She turned around and burst into laughter the moment she heard him. She had no intention to conceal her emotions anymore since he gave her his consent to make fun of him. Gritting his teeth, Damian warned himself to stop overthinking things in an attempt to stop embarrassing himself. Unfortunately, he couldn't stop himself from blushing. Meanwhile, it took Wrenna a few minutes to snap out of it.
