You’ll Fall For Me, Today Or Tomorrow Chapter 463

Chapter 463 Unhappy Life

Nobody approved of Wrenna transferring to another program, especially her family members.

She had planned on keeping it a secret from them at first, but she wasn’t able to complete the transfer all by herself.

After all, it was impossible for an underachiever like her to get a transfer in the first place. As such, she would need to pull some strings in order to get it done.

However, the only ones capable of doing so were the Jackson family and Damian.

Wrenna decided to approach Henry about it first, and he objected immediately.

“Wren, I didn’t raise you for so many years to have you suffer like this. Are you sure you want to transfer to such a boring program? You could just draw the stuff you like and stop whenever you don’t feel like it. I’ll make sure you graduate as planned.”

Wrenna wasn’t all too happy about that. “Are you looking down on me, Dad? You think I’m stupid, don’t you?”

“No, of course not! How could my smart, cute, and intelligent daughter be stupid? I just think it’s pointless to study economics. It’s just unnecessary. Well, it is both boring and tiring.”

“That’s fine by me.”

“Why are you so stubborn? I’m trying to give you a comfortable and carefree life! Are you trying to drive me nuts?”

Wrenna stubbornly refused to change her mind.

“You don’t want to help me? Fine, I’ll go ask someone else.”

“You…”

In a state of desperation, Henry turned toward his young and beautiful wife for help.

“Honey, would you come and talk some sense into this girl?”

Yaala simply shot her a glance and said coldly, “You’re a married woman, Wrenna. You should be asking your husband instead of us for whatever decision it is you plan on making.”

“But, Mom…”

“No buts. You’re doing this for the sake of your husband, so why are you asking us for help? Look, you insisted on marrying Damian back then, so you chose this path yourself. He’s your guardian now, so your actions have nothing to do with us.”

“Honey, wait… About this… Wren is actually…”

Uncomfortable with how cold Yaala was toward Wrenna, Henry tried to say something to ease the tension, but Yaala turned toward him and cut him off. “You have spoiled her way too much, and look at what’s become of her! She never thinks about the consequences of her actions! This is all your fault, so you are in no position to complain!”

Henry rubbed his nose in guilt and gave Wrenna an awkward look in response.

Disappointed that she didn’t receive any help from her parents, Wrenna tried talking to her dean about the transfer instead.

Naturally, the dean objected to it as she would need to take an exam for the transfer, and there was no way she would pass it.

The thought of going to Clarissa had crossed her mind, but she didn’t want to cause them any trouble.

In the end, Wrenna had no choice but to come clean with Damian about it.

“I want to get a transfer, Damian.”

Damian was very shocked as Wrenna didn’t have anything that she really liked doing since young.

Did she discover something she really wants to do? Is that why she’s asking for a transfer?

“Oh? And what program would you want to transfer to?”

“Economics.”

Huh!

Damian was surprised to hear that but found it a little hilarious nonetheless.

“Are you interested in economics”

“Yeah, I’m very interested in it!”

Wrenna nodded profusely to show Damian how serious she was about her decision, but he simply shook his head and said with a chuckle, “If you’re interested, we could pay a teacher to teach you about it at home. I don’t think it’s appropriate to get a transfer because you’d need to take an exam and deal with the really heavy coursework afterward…”

He was mainly just concerned that Wrenna wouldn’t be able to cope with the program.

“But I don’t want to just treat it as an interest! I want to get a job related to economics in the future!”

“A job related to this area? Such as?”

“Um… Like your secretary or staff in your company! I want a job similar to yours because I hate not being able to understand a thing you’re saying. I want us to share a common topic in conversations, and I could even help you out in certain situations! Wouldn’t it be even better for us as a married couple?”

Damian burst out laughing.

“You don’t need to do this, Wren. All you have to do is be yourself.”

“No, I want to be a strong and independent woman! At the very least, I want to be capable of helping you out at work!”

Noticing the determined look in Wrenna’s eyes, Damian let out a helpless sigh and asked, “I thought you wanted to be a perfect wife? Aren’t you going to cook me delicious food anymore?”

“Uh… I can cook you those dishes when I have time after graduating! Of course, you can tell me if you’re craving for something, and I’ll still make it for you right away! I really want to transfer into economics, Damian. Won’t you help me?”

Her persistence left Damian with no other choice.

“All right, I’ll help you out, but I can’t just ignore the university’s policies either. You need to at least know the basics to pass the transfer exams, right? How about… You study the subjects first and score at least sixty marks on the transfer exam, then I’ll help you with the transfer. This way, you’ll be able to sit in on their lectures and then determine if you truly want a transfer.”

Damian was giving her a chance to realize how difficult it would be and change her mind, but Wrenna had made up her mind and was determined to follow through with it.

“All right, we have a deal! I’ll work hard, so don’t you go back on your word, Damian!”

“I won’t.”

He was fine with it as long as she would be able to fulfill his aforementioned condition.

Just like that, Wrenna began her grueling journey into economics.

It was her first time working that hard in life, and she had to force herself to push through difficult subjects like math and principles of economics. Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.

Wrenna had even stopped drawing her comics, stopped all of her cooking, and stopped chatting with her friends online. She did all that so she could dedicate her time to her studies regardless of how torturous it felt.

She even went as far as sitting in on their lectures, including those taught by Stella. As much as Wrenna hated seeing her, she felt it was a small price to pay for her ultimate victory in the future.

Despite the doubt and negativity from the people around her, Wrenna was able to keep pushing on for two whole months, and the results were shocking.

She had become pale, skinny, and had dark circles under her eyes.

Not only had she lost her beauty, but she was also constantly mumbling formulas and theories to herself wherever she went. It was obvious that she had devoted all of her time and energy to her studies.

Clarissa only found out about it later on, and she confronted Damian angrily when she saw how sickly Wrenna looked.

She later found out that Wrenna was the one who insisted on studying hard to transfer program.

“You’re her husband, Damian! Can’t you see how hard she’s working? Why aren’t you helping her? Helping her get transferred should be a piece of cake for you, so what’s the big deal? Look at how tired and skinny she has become! You should take better care of her well-being, Damian! I can’t believe you’re so irresponsible!”

Clarissa was so mad at Damian that she nearly hit him with a stick after scolding him.

She then had Wrenna stay over at Zen Highlands with her for a few more days and kicked Damian out so she could personally nurse Wrenna back to health.

During that time, Clarissa saw for herself how hardworking Wrenna was. In order to make up for her lack of smarts and ability to memorize things, she would only get four to five hours of sleep per day.

Despite Clarissa’s repeated attempts at reminding her to rest earlier, Wrenna simply lowered her head and brushed them off with half-hearted replies.

At one point, Clarissa got mad and barged straight into the room to confiscate all of her books. Wrenna then looked up at her with innocent and reddened eyes, and it pained Clarissa so much that she sat down and held her by the hand as she said, “Wren, you don’t have to do this. We all know why you’re doing this, and it hurts me to see you like this. If I object…”

“No!” Wrenna panicked when she heard that and grabbed Clarissa by the hand in response.

“I want to do this, I really do! I find it fun, and it doesn’t feel tiring at all! Things won’t be so rough once this exam is over.”

Clarissa shook her head and said with a frown, “I’m not talking about the exam or how tiring it is. Wren, the most important part about loving someone is to be happy yourself. Are you truly happy?”

“I am!”

“But you don’t look happy to me. You’ll destroy your life if you keep this up. I have to admit, Damian didn’t turn out to become the ideal man that I had wanted him to be. He isn’t caring and considerate enough. In fact, he’s even a little cold to you… Even if you keep catering to him like this isn’t going to make him love you.”

Clarissa’s harsh and direct words caused the look on Wrenna’s face to worsen after hearing them.

Realizing the change in her expression, Clarissa reached out and gently patted her on the head as she comforted her.

“You can stop studying, Wren. If you really want to transfer, I’ll just have Damian take care of it for you. Whatever it is you want to do, you shouldn’t torture yourself like this because you’re hurting those who care about you. Me, Matthew, your parents… Also, how am I going to answer to your parents if anything happens to you? All right, get some rest for now. I’ve decided that you’re going to skip school tomorrow, so make sure you sleep in, okay? I won’t let you attend any classes even if you won’t listen.”

Just like that, Clarissa had forced Wrenna into taking a break.

Wrenna had thought she would be unable to fall asleep at first, but she ended up dozing off the moment she closed her eyes in bed.

As she had been overworking herself for the past two months, she ended up sleeping for almost three days straight.

It was already nighttime on the third day when she woke up.
