You’ll Fall For Me, Today Or Tomorrow Chapter 457

Chapter 457 Missing Wrenna

Wrenna began to be filled with fear.

Stella isn’t a heartless woman. She was just trapped in a difficult situation. As for Damian, he just has the wrong impression of her, but it doesn’t mean that he doesn’t love her. If the misunderstanding between them is cleared up, there is nothing to stand between the two of them. In fact, they might even feel worse to have let something like that come in between them.

If I were Damian, I would return to Stella’s side and mourn the child together with her. After that, I’ll treat her even better for the rest of her life. In that case, should I tell him? If I do, I’ll lose everything. If I don’t, how am I going to bear the guilt of the lost child?

At that moment, Wrenna realized that Stella had done it on purpose.

She must have known that I would be tormented by this dilemma.

Regardless of whether she told Damian about it, the consequences would be bad for her.

Wrenna finally realized how insidious Stella was. She had dumped all the pain and suffering she experienced over the years onto Wrenna’s shoulders.

Having heard the news Colton brought her, Wrenna was distracted for the rest of the day. Although she didn’t skip class, she could barely concentrate at all.

The moment class ended, she left school right away.

She couldn’t tell her dormmates and her parents about the matter. Most importantly, she couldn’t tell Damian, at least for the time being. Unable to tell anyone, she wondered how Stella was able to endure the pain alone all those years.

Wrenna felt as if the weight on her shoulders was about to crush her anytime.

All she could do was squat by the roadside and cry in silence.

After crying for God knows how long, a car stopped in front of her.

Inside, Colton sighed and got out. Handing Wrenna a tissue, he comforted her, “Stop crying now. I’ll send you home.”

“I… I don’t want to go home.”

Looking at his watch, Colton had an idea.

“In that case, get in the car first.”

Sniffling, Wrenna looked at Colton with a tearful expression.

Despite feeling embarrassed by how she looked, she climbed into the car and calmed down.

“Colton, thank you. I was just overwhelmed by my emotions just now.” “Mmm-hmm, I understand. But, didn’t I tell you that Stella cannot be trusted? Why do you insist on believing her?”

“Doesn’t your investigation show that it’s a fact?”

With an indifferent expression, Colton sneered, “Fact can be fabricated. Her goal is to get you to leave Damian. If you cannot bear the burden, you should leave him. However, are you willing to do so?”

“No, of course not!”

Wrenna rejected outright the idea of leaving him.

With that, she felt reinvigorated.This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Colton responded, “That’s all that matters.”

After that, the car fell silent. It wasn’t until Wrenna said something that the tension began to ease.

“Colton, I remember that you were on good terms with Stella back then. But now, why…”

By now, Burnham was the only one who was still close to Stella. As for Colton, he was no longer friends with her, unlike the days when they were younger.

Now, Colton didn’t just resent Stella, he actually hated her instead.

That was the reason why Wrenna was curious.

Did something that no one knows about happen?

Colton’s expression darkened as he responded with silence. Realizing that she had crossed the line, she didn’t press the matter further.

“Erm… where are we going?” Wrenna asked when she regained her senses.

“To my friend’s place.”

“Huh?”

What friend?

Giving Colton a puzzled look, Wrenna was too shy to continue her question.

Colton brought Wrenna to an apartment and knocked on the door.

A voice rang out. “Who is it?”

“It’s me.”

Standing behind Colton, Wrenna tilted her head to take a look. Looking past the security door, she saw a gentle-looking lady. Wrenna’s heart melted the moment she heard the lady’s voice. Hence, she didn’t dare to speak too loudly.

“I’m surprised to see you here.”

The girl’s tone visibly changed and felt colder instead. Nevertheless, her voice still sounded extremely gentle.

Waving her hand shyly, Wrenna mellowed down her voice.

“Hi, nice to meet you.”

The girl gave Wrenna a puzzled look.

“This is my friend’s wife. They just had a fight, and she has no place to go. Hence, she’ll stay with you for a while.”

The girl opened the door in surprise. With any hesitation, she gently pulled Wrenna inside.

“Come in.”

When Colton wanted to enter, he was stopped by the girl instead.

She then shut the door right in his face. Standing behind the door, Wrenna was both shocked and amused.

After that, the girl treated her as if she was a friend. Leading Wrenna to a seat, she poured her some water and smiled.

“Hi, I’m Hailey Norton.”

“Oh, I’m Wrenna Jackson.”

“You’re really pretty and cute. Are you still studying? I’m older than you by a few years.”

“Mmm-hmm, I’m a student at D University. Hailey, thank you. I won’t stay too long. It’s just that I feel terrible and have no place to go. Furthermore, I don’t want my family to know.”

Hailey laughed in response. Her gentle smile felt reassuring to anyone with a troubled heart.

“I know. Don’t worry about it. There’s no one else other than me here. Hence, it’s really quiet. You can stay as long as you like. Coincidentally, I’ll have some company too.”

Overwhelmed by the bitterness in her heart, Wrenna’s eyes reddened.

Hailey didn’t ask nor say another word. Instead, she got up and went to her room. A moment later, she returned with a needle, thread, and a piece of white cloth. Sitting in front of Wrenna, she began to work on it. She looked as if she was fixing something or just embroidering.

Intrigued by what she was doing, Wrenna looked on curiously.

“Hailey, what are you doing?”

Hailey demonstrated with a smile, “I’m embroidering. Have you seen it before? I do it to pass the time.”

Wrenna exclaimed in amazement, “Wow, Hailey, you’re really amazing. Can you let me see?”

After that, Wrenna realized Hailey was a master embroiderer. Other than the cloth in her hand, she had many larger embroideries in her studio. All her works were sold at very high prices.

Wrenna was impressed with what she saw. She was so intrigued that she had forgotten about the reason for her visit and why she was even sad.

During dinner with Hailey, Wrenna received a call from Damian. Only then, did she remember that she was still Mrs. Quigley.

However, she still didn’t feel like facing him yet.

“Damian, don’t worry, I’m staying with a friend for the night.”

After explaining herself, she ended the call with a fleeting but sorrowful expression. Hailey then talked about the food to distract Wrenna’s attention.

Meanwhile, back at Jackdaws Mansion, Damian stared at the food on the dinner table and sighed.

He missed having Wrenna by his side during mealtimes.

“Mr. Quigley, my cooking isn’t as good as Mrs. Quigleys. So please make do for tonight while I try to pick up more tips from her. Haha.”

Having started out as Wrenna’s teacher, Cora felt embarrassed that her cooking skills had fallen behind her student.

Damian shook his head. “No, it’s good. It’s just that I’m not used to not having Wrenna around. The house feels a lot emptier without her.”

“Of course. Ever since Mrs. Quigley came, she brought a vibrant and lively air to the home.”

Damian furrowed his eyebrow. “Cora, are you saying that I’m boring?”

“Haha, Mr. Quigley. Compared to Mrs. Quigley, you do trend toward that.”

Shaking his head, Damian couldn’t resist smiling.

After an uneventful dinner, Damian strolled alone in the yard. He took a few calls before returning to his study to do some work.

He was already used to this routine. However, when he returned to his bedroom and saw the empty bed, he felt a sense of emptiness and disappointment.

Leaning against his bed, Damian saw the tablet that Wrenna had always used to watch TV programs before bed. He turned it on and quietly watched the programs she had on her watch history.

However, he lost interest quickly.

With that, he turned off the light and went to bed.

Unfortunately, he felt restless and couldn’t sleep.

Unable to feel Wrenna’s warm and tender body, he felt as if something was missing in his arms. However, the thought of replacing her presence by hugging a pillow or a blanket made him cringe instead.

Finally, Damian got up and went to the gym.

Perhaps, I can tire myself out by running on the treadmill.

The next morning, Damian came downstairs with bags under his eyes. After taking a few bites of Cora’s routine breakfast, he left it on the plate.

Upon reaching his office, he gave Wrenna a call before the morning’s meeting.

At the other end, Wrenna’s sleepy but displeased voice rang out. “Who is it? What a bother…”

Obviously, Damian had woken her from her sleep.

However, Damian chuckled when he heard her voice which brought a sense of comfort to him.

“Wrenna, it’s me.”

“Damian?”

Wrenna’s voice still sounded as if she was half-asleep.

“Mmm-hmm, what time does class end today? I’ll go and pick you up.”

“Hmm? The time? Oh… at five.”

“All right. I’ll pick you up at five then. Go back to sleep now. If you have classes in the morning, don’t be late.”

Before Damian ended the call, he could hear snoring over the line.

In response, Damian shook his head with a smile. By then, the grouchy mood he was in from having a sleepless night and suffering through a tasteless breakfast was gone.

Feeling reinvigorated, he began work enthusiastically.

After bidding Hailey goodbye, Wrenna headed to school. When she arrived, she suddenly remembered that Damian was coming to pick her up after class.

Is he doing it on a happy whim or is there a problem?

Wrenna sat through class the entire day puzzled by it. By the time it was five, she received a call before stepping out of the classroom.

“Hello? Damian?”

“Mmm-hmm. I’m downstairs. Are you out?”

“Huh?”

Wrenna was shocked.
