Stella just sat there, looking very pitiable as she wanted Damian's affection.
However, Damian did not do anything after he asked Wrenna to apologize.
There was no expression on his face.
Stella knew Damian's temper, so she did not wait for Damian to help her and stood up on her own. That said, she swayed a little as she seemed to be feeling weak.
But even so, she gathered herself and kept her calm before facing Damian.
Nevertheless, Damian merely wrapped his arm around Wrenna's waist and said, “Let's go home, Wren.”
That caught Wrenna off guard, and she raised her head to look at Damian before taking a glance at Stella. She immediately nodded as she was eager to leave.
As soon as they got outside, Stella caught up to them and said, “Damian, I hope you can clear things up with Wrenna.”
But despite hearing her, Damian ignored her and continued walking. However, Wrenna froze up, feeling restless even after she was shoved into the car.
On the way home, no one said anything.
Wrenna was afraid that Damian would bring up divorce or separation if she said anything.
So, as soon as they arrived home, she immediately jogged her way upstairs. Before Damian could catch her, she already packed up some of her stuff and was leaving.
When she reached the door, Damian grabbed her hand.
“Where are you going, Wren?”
“I want to go home. I miss my parents.”
Wrenna pried open Damian's hand with all her strength and continued walking.
Damian merely sighed and followed her.
“I'll drive you there.”
“No!”
Wrenna bit her lips and looked pitifully at Damian. The girl that never once refused Damian now had a strong sense of determination in her eyes.
She did not want to see nor hear him.
On the other hand, Damian immediately turned soft after seeing those eyes of hers.
“Alright. Let the driver send you over then.”
Wrenna turned around and hopped in the car before Damian leaned forward and gestured for her to lower the window.
He looked sincerely into Wrenna's eyes and noticed that it was a little red. It was like Wrenna was trying really hard to hold the tear and sorrow. Her face was pale, and her body all tensed up. Her fingers were squeezing into the bag in her hand. Damian could not bear seeing her like that.
He reached out his hand and grabbed Wrenna's fingers.
“Trust me, Wren.”
Wrenna lowered her head and looked at their overlapped hands.
She did not know what to say.
After that. Damian slowly let go of her hand, and the car drove off.
On the way to her parents, Wrenna finally gave up and started crying a river. Her cry was so loud that it actually affected the driver's ability to drive.
However, before she reached the Jackson family, Wrenna stopped crying and decided to change her destination. She wanted to go back to school.
Wrenna got back to her dormitory with bloodshot eyes, and her dormmates asked immediately about what happened.
Nevertheless, Wrenna just kept on crying.
Truth be told, sometimes, people merely need a shoulder to cry on.
So, Wrenna cried her lungs out with all her friends by her side.
After letting it all out, she looked at her friends with a pitiful gaze, and Dora quickly passed her a glass of water.
“Drink some water. Take it slowly.”
After finishing the huge glass of water, Wrenna finally squeezed out a smile.
“I... “
She was just about to speak but realized that she lost her voice from all the crying.
“Don't say anything,” Xandra said. “We all know this has to do with Damian somehow.”
Wrenna nodded, but shook her head after that.
“What was that?” Dora was a little impatient. “A yes or a no?”
Wrenna was quiet for a long while before finally speaking with her hoarse voice, “I've never told you guys about how Damian had a first love years ago, right?”
“Oh god. First loves and exes, those are definitely hurdles to one's relationships.”
Hearing that, Wrenna's pupils constricted, obviously affected by what her friend just said.
Her nails turned pale from the sheer force at which she clenched her fist.
“So what?” Xandra said calmly. “I don't think the first love is the issue here. It's Damian's attitude towards it. Is he still in love with his first love?”
Wrenna's expression darkened.
