You’ll Fall For Me, Today Or Tomorrow Chapter 489

Chapter 489 Romantic Journey

Although Damian didn’t understand what his mom meant, he could sense the sarcasm in her words. Without another word, Clarissa returned to the house and didn’t bother to explain herself.

Feeling lost, Damian went to his room to pack. By the time he came out, there was no sign of anyone else. When he asked the staff, he was informed that everyone, including Wrenna, had gone fishing. Consequently, he was saddened by the fact that he had been left behind.

Glancing at the pond downstairs, he too headed over. When Henry saw him approaching, he got up right away. “Wren, let’s go and pick some fruits. There’s a lot of vegetables that are ready for harvesting.”

“Henry, let me help you.” “No, you should stay here and watch my fishing rod.” It was obvious that Henry wanted to keep them away from each other.

Left without a choice, Damian took over Henry’s seat and kept an eye on his fishing rod. When he turned back to look, Wrenna gave him an innocent look and even gestured him to do his best.

The next moment, Henry came in between their line of sight and quickly pulled Wrenna away. At that moment, a mocking laugh rang out beside Damian.

Turning to see who it was, Clarissa stuck her tongue out at him before leaning on her husband’s shoulder. With a smug expression, she continued to sneer.

Huh, my childish mother! “Hey, Damian, don’t you think you deserve it?”

Damian kept mum. “Hey, Damian, I’m asking you a question. Why aren’t you answering? Don’t ignore your own mother or I’ll get your dad to teach you a lesson.”

Matthew swept his gaze over to Damian as a warning. Damian had to obey his mom simply because he was her son. Left without a choice, Damian’s lips twitched as he turned around and gave Clarissa a smile. “Mom, you’re right. I deserved it.”

“Haha… of course you do for being such a dimwit. If your dad had been as slow as you were, you wouldn’t even have been born.” Clarissa even gave Matthew a cheerful kiss as his reward.

“Hubby, you’re amazing! You’re so much more capable than your son.” Damian hated to hear his mother praise his dad at his expense. However, he didn’t have much of a choice.

“Damian, it was love at first sight for your dad the moment he saw me. After that, he tried his best to get close to me and shelter me from any possible harm. Obviously, he had his share of mistakes. But, unlike you, he was never in doubt about his own feelings.”

“Haha. Yes, I know Dad is great.”

“Hmph, I’m glad you do. However, not that I want to nag, but weren’t you very smart when you were a kid? How did you end up being so foolish?”

The entire time Clarissa was admonishing Damian, Matthew had caught a bunch of fish. Unfortunately, Damian had no luck at all.

Amidst Clarissa’s nagging, Damian’s mind began to wander. In fact, he was wondering if even the fish were sick of the dressing down his mom was giving him.

Finally, there was some movement on his fishing rod. Springing to his feet, he pulled up the rod while Clarissa stopped her nagging.

However, when Damian reeled it in, all he caught was a tiny fish.

The fish provided Clarissa with further ammunition. “Look at how useless you are. You can’t even catch a proper fish. Your foolishness has caused you to lose your wife while the fishes don’t even want to take your bait.”

Consequently, Damian admitted that he had it coming.

In fact, he had never felt so dejected before.

Suddenly, Wrenna’s voice rang out as she waved at Clarissa with a smile. Behind her was Henry holding a basket of vegetables.

“Aunt Clarissa.”

Getting to her feet in delight, Clarissa waved back. This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

After giving her son a disapproving look, Clarissa sighed. Despite being angry at him, she still had his best interest at heart.

“Damian, where are your manners? Look at how full Henry’s hands are. What are you waiting for?”

Realizing what his mom was getting at, Damian got to his feet and hurried over to Henry’s side.

“Henry, let me help you.”

Henry handed Damian the baskets without protest. After that, he pulled Wrenna aside and suggested, “Let’s see how Clarissa is doing. Damian, take the baskets back and tell the kitchen that they can start preparing lunch. Also, bring the fish you have caught along with you and keep an eye on the kitchen. There’s no need for you to return.”

Speechless, Damian had no choice but to comply.

After smiling at Damian when Henry wasn’t looking, she followed her dad over to see Clarissa.

With that, Damian took the fish back obediently.

Taking a seat beside Clarissa, Wrenna took off her hat and fanned herself. Clarissa then used a tissue to wipe her sweat for her.

After she saw her dad heading to her mom’s side, Wrenna whispered to Clarissa with a smile, “Aunt Clarissa, I hope you’re not angry at how my dad is treating Damian. He is just getting bitter with age which makes him easily agitated.”

Clarissa beamed. “You silly gal. It’s not that bad. Besides, I don’t blame him because Damian deserves it. You have to understand that no father will ever give up their daughter willingly to another man.”

Wrenna looked as if she understood.

“But we’re already divorced.”

However, Clarissa didn’t point out to Wrenna that Damian was trying to reconcile.

After all, it was Damian’s fault for being a dimwit.

She continued to explain, “Even if you’re divorced, it doesn’t change his feelings. That’s just how men are. If you don’t believe me, you should see how Matthew reacts when Leia has a boyfriend next time.”

“Oh? That I believe.”

Wrenna glanced in Matthew’s direction and saw the stern look on his face. Ever since she was young, she was always fearful of him.

That feeling hardly changed even though she was now an adult. Hence, it wasn’t hard for her to imagine how frightening Matthew could be when Leia had a boyfriend.

“Haha…”

Unable to control herself, Wrenna snorted in laughter. At the same time, Clarissa easily guessed what was on her mind.

When Leia gets married… Tsk-tsk…

She didn’t even dare to picture what would happen.

After lunch, Henry ushered Wrenna to her room for a nap, giving her no opportunity to do whatever she wanted.

Considering how hot the afternoon was, they spent their time indoors drinking coffee, chatting, and savoring the freshly harvested fruits. However, Damian was being ostracized by them.

Meanwhile, Wrenna would occasionally give him a look to show her emotional support for him.

It wasn’t until dinner was over and Henry was away getting intimate with Yaala did Damian find the opportunity to talk to Wrenna.

“I’m afraid Henry is going to stop us from seeing each other going forward.”

Suddenly, Wrenna was jolted by Damian’s words, as if there was something amiss.

Despite not being a couple, she felt that Damian’s tone sounded as if they were one.

Wrenna replied with a smile, “Damian, you’re overthinking it. My dad is only angry at you for the time being. As time passes, I’m sure his anger will slowly subside. Perhaps, when you bring your girlfriend along next time, he would show you more respect. As of now, he’s just taking more time to accept the fact that we’re divorced.”

Haha, that’s not the case at all!

Feeling awkward, Damian was in no position to correct her.

It was now obvious that Wrenna no longer had feelings for him. Or else, she wouldn’t have been able to talk about him getting a girlfriend in such a nonchalant manner. It came as a devastating blow to him.

“Haha… maybe.”

Wrenna patted Damian on the shoulder. “However, Damian, don’t you worry. Why don’t we stop seeing each other until my dad cools down?”

“Of course not!”

Realizing that he had overreacted, Damian softened his tone and explained, “What I meant was there’s nothing special happening between us. Hence, there’s no need to change anything just because of Henry’s concerns. At most, I’ll just keep out of his way. Unless, of course, you hate to see me around?”

“No, not at all.”

“That’s all that matters.”

Damian grinned. “In that case, I’ll see you tomorrow for lunch at school.”

“Huh? Aren’t you busy tomorrow?”

“Mmm-hmm, not at all. I’m quite free recently.”

Given that I’m trying to get my wife back, I’ll make time even if I’m busy.

“But I have something on at noon. So, I can’t have lunch with you.”

“What do you have?”

“Erm… I’m having lunch with my dormmates. A group lunch.”

Damian nodded. “Fine, I’ll pick you up in the evening then.”

“You had better not. I still have to revise my lessons at night. Damian, I’ll be quite busy this upcoming week as my workload has increased…”

When Damian’s expression darkened, Wrenna began to panic.

In truth, she shared her dad’s opinion that Damian should be looking for a partner in his free time. If they continued to see each other often, it would create the impression that they weren’t divorced.

Under those circumstances, it would be harder for Damian to get to know more girls.

“Alright then. Why don’t I see you when you’re less busy?”

“Mmm-hmm. Sure.”

After Wrenna returned to her room, Damian’s face drastically changed when he detected the reluctance in her voice.

Regardless of what her thoughts were, Damian felt it necessary to give Wrenna some space.

Nevertheless, he felt the need to accelerate the process. Having meals and watching movies together was simply too slow.

The moment he turned around, he was greeted by the sight of his parents sitting in the yard and romantically gazing at the stars.

Not wanting to bother them, he prepared to leave quietly. However, Clarissa brazenly called out to him, “Damian, good luck on your long journey back to romance.”
