Naturally, Damian was well aware of Wrenna's feelings toward him.
However, he was very cautious when it came to relationships and wouldn't say he loved someone unless he truly did.
As such, he simply sighed and gave her a kiss on the forehead instead.
“All right, I know. Let's go home,” he whispered as he let go of her and drove straight home.
Wrenna was a little disappointed by his response at first, but she figured it wasn't a big deal as she had plenty of time to make him fall in love with her.
She climbed into bed immediately upon arriving home and reached out for a hug as usual.
Although a little uncomfortable with it, Damian wrapped his arms around her and patted her gently anyway.
“Say, Damian?”
“Hmm?”
“Are you really not mad?”
There was still a hint of nervousness in her tone of voice.
“No, this isn't your fault,” Damian replied after a brief pause.
Wrenna was delighted to hear that, but that feeling of joy was short-lived as another thought slid its way into her head.
Wait... If he's not mad, then he isn't jealous at all! Does that mean he doesn't like me, then?
Wrenna let out a loud sigh while lying in his arms, so there was no way he wouldn't have heard her.
“What's wrong?”
“Aren't you jealous at all, Damian?”
She was so straightforward with her question that she caught Damian completely off guard, and he didn't know what to say in response.
Before he could even answer her question, she had already gotten over it and said casually, “It's okay. Don't worry about it! I'm just glad you're not mad, Damian! Let's go to bed, shall we? Good night!”
“Good night.”
Wrenna fell asleep rather quickly in his arms while Damian lay there wide awake thinking about her question earlier.
Wrenna thought the incident would die down and be forgotten quickly as she had made herself very clear.
To her surprise, it had only gotten worse by the time she woke up the next morning.
As both Jayden and Wrenna were fairly popular on campus due to their good looks, videos of his romantic confession went viral online and were shared by tons of other students.
Wrenna realized something was off when she arrived on campus and saw everyone staring at her in envy.
It wasn't until she returned to her dorm that she found out what happened.
“This is unbelievable! These netizens just blindly shared the video and congratulated you two without knowing anything! Now everyone's going to think you and Jayden are a couple!”
“Yeah! I know you told Mr. Quigley about it yesterday and all, but just take a look at this mess... Do you think he'll actually get mad?”
Wrenna quickly scrolled through her social media feed upon hearing that, and the sight of those comments wishing them a happy relationship made her blood boil.
To make matters worse, some of the netizens even went as far as revealing the name of their university and their classes.
“This has gone too far!”
Wrenna's cheeks were puffed up with anger as she made a post explaining how Jayden had forced himself onto her, and that there was nothing going on between them.
However, nobody believed her story as she wasn't as popular as the influencers who were spreading the video on their social media pages.
While the others were freaking out at how her story received more attention than those superstars out there, Xandra saw right through the ploy right away.
“Under normal circumstances, there's no way a video like this would gain so much attention. Someone must be hiring internet trolls to help boost its popularity.”
“Who would do such a horrible thing?”
“It's definitely Jayden! I'll go have a word with him right this instant!” Wrenna said angrily and ran out of the dorm with her friends following closely behind.
She didn't even need to say anything as the guys at the male dormitory knew she was looking for Jayden the moment she arrived. They then whistled and shouted for him to come and see her.
Jayden was smiling gleefully as he made his way down the stairs, only to have Wrenna step forward and slap him hard across the face.
Smack!
The sound was so loud that it shocked everyone at the scene, including Jayden himself.
“I told you I don't love you, Jayden! I'm already married, for goodness' sake! You have gone way too far this time! I will never like you, Jayden! In fact, I hate you!”
Damn, and here I thought she was just embarrassed to admit that she likes me... Looks like she really has no feelings for me at all... But what about the video going viral online? Everyone's talking about it these days!
Damn it, why is it so hard for me to just love someone? It hurts so much knowing Wrenna is going to hate me for the rest of her life...
Could it be that the attack wasn't aimed at Tyson Corporation, but at Wrenna herself? But, what good would uploading a video of her with another man do? It doesn't make any sense no matter how I look at it...
