You’ll Fall for Me, Today or Tomorrow novel Chapter 490

When Damian woke up the next morning, the Jackson family had already left.

However, Clarissa was having breakfast with Matthew leisurely.

“Damian, there's no need to look. Henry has left with his family. Looks like your opportunities will be limited for the time being.”

Taking a seat, Damian was a lot calmer than before as he had grown used to his mom's ridicule.

Enjoying his breakfast, he was in no hurry to see Wrenna again.

After all, one had to be patient when it came to matters of the heart.

“Damian?”

When Clarissa saw that Damian remained expressionless and quiet, she wondered if he was all right.

“Damian?”

The moment Damian lifted his gaze, Clarissa remembered that she had to be more supportive as his mother.

“You know, Damian, when Henry was young, he behaved the same way as you did. Obviously, you are worse off than him given that you ended up in a divorce. Tsk, terrible indeed. Nevertheless, I'm not saying this to dishearten you. Instead, I'm giving you encouragement. Look at Henry, isn't he happily married with a daughter now? Back then, he relied on his dogged persistence to successfully court Yaala again. Therefore, you too can do it. So, good luck!”

Damian didn't find her attempt at encouragement effective at all.

I'm actually worse off than Henry?

Just as his lips twitched, Clarissa added, “Damian, honestly, I feel that Henry will hate you more given his status as Wrenna's dad and also because you are repeating his mistake. Tsk-tsk... just thinking about it makes me feel bad for you. What are you going to do?”

Dumbfounded, Damian felt that his mom was better off not saying anything.

Despite declaring that she was encouraging him, her actions demonstrated otherwise.

Unfortunately, Clarissa was oblivious to the fact that she was mocking her own son.

“However, don't you worry. Your dad and I are rooting for you.”

“Haha!” Damian chuckled before he got up. “I'm done. I gotta go.”

Watching Damian's silhouette as he left, Clarissa puckered her lips. “Hubby, do you think our son has a shot?”

Matthew shook his head. “I don't know.”

“I think he will succeed. But, do you still remember how long it took for Henry to court Yaala again? I remember it was three years. Tsk-tsk. Thus, I think Damian will need at least five years. Wrenna is twenty now. In five years' time, she'll be twenty-five which still makes her young. However, Damian will be in his thirties. Tsk-tsk. Will he still be as charming then? Perhaps, Henry will resent him even more. There's also the possibility of Wrenna meeting another man. When that happens, it will be a real shame for Damian.”

Holding that thought, Clarissa empathized with her son's predicament.

“Nevertheless, it's up to him how he wants to struggle through it. After all, he paying the price for being a dimwit.”

Meanwhile, as Damian was driving away in his car, he let out a sneeze which jolted his hand on the steering wheel.

The first thing that came to his mind was that someone was cursing him behind his back, and he didn't even need to guess who that person was.

He shook his head with a smile when he recalled how his mom had wished him luck in his endeavor.

Since Wrenna had declared to Damian that she was busy, he didn't see her for a week.

However, Wrenna hardly felt it as she was busy studying for her exams. After all, she was truly worried that she would fail to graduate.

That aside, Wrenna felt relieved that Stella would no longer come to school. Her class was also taken over by another teacher. Word on the street was that she was working as a president of a large company. Given how successful she was, she no longer needed a teacher's meager pay.

Consequently, Wrenna was comforted by the fact that Stella was out of her life.

One day, when she returned to her dorm after dinner, she found her dormmates whispering to each other. The moment they saw her approach, they quickly broke up their conversation.

Although Xandra behaved normally, Dora wasn't able to hide her nosiness.

Without Wrenna even asking, Dora herself couldn't suppress her curiosity.

Just as expected, Dora came to Wrenna's side ten minutes later and asked, “Wren, it's Saturday tomorrow. Do you have any plans?”

“No, I'm just going over to the library before heading home. Why? Are you gals planning something?”

Dora shook her head. With an anxious expression, she leaned closer to Wrenna.

“Did something happen between you and your beloved Damian? Didn't he come to see you often previously? Why isn't he here this week? Is it because you've argued?”

“What do you mean by my beloved Damian? You're just letting your imagination run wild.”

Wrenna protested at Dora's assumption.

“We're just god siblings. Things are no longer the same, so stop speculating. He only came to see me last week because he had some free time on his hands. Since he was bored and doesn't have a girlfriend, he had no choice but to look me up. As for this week, this is how it should normally be. Anyway, we're not fighting, so stop with that nonsense.”
