You’ll Fall for Me, Today or Tomorrow novel Chapter 433

Everyone gathered around the table as dinner time approached.

Clarissa was glad to see Damian and Wrenna getting along well. They seemed much closer after two months into the marriage.

After dinner, Damian went aside to talk to Matthew while Wrenna stayed with Clarissa.

“Mom, I've just registered for culinary classes. I've only attended a few classes so I'm still learning. I'll make you and Dad some really nice food when I'm good at it.”

“That's great! What have you been learning? Are the classes interesting?”

“Yeah, they are. I'll do my best and make sure Damian loves my cooking.”

“Ah, now I see what you're trying to do. You want to keep your man hooked.”

“Yeah. Do I have your support?”

“Of course! A lot of women want to be successful in their careers, but there are also women who want to be homemakers. I think both are equally respectable.”

Wrenna felt contented getting assurance from Clarissa.

“Thanks for being so supportive. I once told my mom that I was afraid she'd think I was not good, but this is truly what I want. I just want to stay at home and take care of Damian. I want to make sure he's well-fed, he goes to work feeling happy, and that he does not worry about everything at home. This is enough for me.”

Wrenna grew up a pampered girl. Henry wanted his daughter to live like a princess. He did not want her to worry about anything. Regardless of who she married, he would see to it that she lacked nothing.

Wrenna herself was not an ambitious person either. She was not academically inclined, and nor did she have any hobbies other than drawing when she really felt like it. Unlike her friends and other women, she had no intention of being a career-oriented woman.

Besides, no one expected her to be one in her family, so she lived as she wished.

Clarissa liked the fact that Wrenna had a simple life.

“No way. I'm sure your mom will never think like that. You're the best daughter she can have.”

“I know. My dad always says my mom doesn't really mean it when she nitpicks me. She has a heart of gold. That's why she married my dad,” Wrenna replied, laughing.

Clarissa believed so too. Back then, Yaala only agreed to marry Henry after she gave birth to Wrenna. Even when they got married, Yaala was even crying during the wedding.

After dinner, Damian drove Clarissa and Matthew back to Zen Highlands.

Clarissa had asked Damian to send them back earlier on because she wanted to talk to him.

There was no one else at home other than the family when they arrived. “Damian, I heard that Stella's back.”

Clarissa went straight to the point. Her tone was a little harsh. She did not sound as gentle as she used to be.

Damian caught her deterrent glare and smiled uncomfortably.

“Mom, you don't trust me, do you? Wren and I are already married. This is a lifetime promise, and I have given her my word to be loyal to her. I'm your son. You should know me better. I take marriage seriously.”

“But you don't love her.”

Clarissa pointed out the truth blatantly.

Damian was caught off guard. “I'll try to love her, Mom,” he sighed.

“Damian, I warned you before you got married that you shouldn't ruin your whole life just because of a woman, but you told me you're still able to love someone else other than Stella, and I still trust you. I know you're not so selfish as to ruin Wren's life because of another woman, but I still have to say this again. Since you've already promised to love Wren, you will have to do your best. Even if you cannot bring yourself to love her, you still have to stand by her and protect her forever. If you fail to do so, I'll deal with you before the Jacksons even do anything.”

“Mom, I give you my word. I promise I will love and protect Wren for the rest of my life.”

“That's good.”

The hard look on Clarissa's face was gone by now. “Wren is a good girl. You're everything she has, so you guys should have a child after she graduates. She will be so happy.”

Damian looked away and nodded.

“Alright.”

After assuring his mother that he would be faithful to his marriage vows, Damian drove home as the moon crept up into the dark sky.

Jackdaws Mansion was not far away from Zen Highlands. Damian built this house for himself after he was financially capable.

He also built Jade House for Leia. It was situated behind Zen Highlands, where his parents stayed.

He once told Clarissa that he wanted to buy her all the jewelry and bags she wanted and that he would take up the responsibility of bringing her sister up, and Damian did exactly that.

He covered Leia's living expenses and everything else she needed.

It only took Damian fifteen minutes to reach Jackdaws Mansion.

When he reached home, Wrenna was video calling Leia.

“Yeah, Dad and Mom just went home. Did you just wake up? Are you even eating? You don't look well. Do you want me to send you something nice?” Wrenna bombarded her with questions when she saw Leia.

Although Leia was a smart student, she was good at nothing else other than academics.

Even Wrenna, who was younger than her, had to take care of her.

It had already become her habit to look out for Leia.

“I'm fine. Don't worry,” Leia said with a tired voice.

Slap!
