When Wrenna saw Damian standing by the car at the school entrance, she waved at him and ran over with a smile.
After getting into the car, she couldn't resist laughing.
Damian looked at her and asked with a grin, “What are you laughing at?”
Pursing her lips, Wrenna replied candidly, “It feels different being your sister. The treatment is so much better.”
Damian's heart skip a beat as his expression was filled with remorse.
“Wrenna, I'm sorry-”
Cognizant of what he meant, she interrupted, “I understand, Damian. Don't overthink. I was just joking with you. I realized that I was being immature back then but isn't everything wonderful now? With a brother like you watching over me, it's a big improvement compared to last time. Will you protect me if someone bullies me?”
“Of course!”
“Exactly. I'm not complaining about the past. I'm just stressing how happy I am with the way things are now.”
Unfortunately, Damian didn't share her joy.
He felt that his mother was right. He was in a terrible situation.
After smiling awkwardly, he returned his attention to the cars in front.
Ignorant of Damian's awkwardness, Wrenna began to talk about school as if nothing had happened.
When they arrived at the restaurant, she focused her attention on the food. Considering how hard she had been studying, she ended up eating a lot to replenish the amount of energy her brain expended.
When Damian saw how good Wrenna's appetite was, he looked at her affectionately.
However, she was oblivious to how he was watching her.
All she did was concentrate on her food as it didn't cross her mind that he still had feelings for her.
After the meal, Wrenna wanted to return to school. Hence, Damian drove her back.
Along the way, Damian couldn't help but ask, “Wren, is your new major a lot more difficult?”
“Mmm-hmm. It is, but I have grown used to it. Furthermore, I enjoy it.”
“Since you're short of time, social events might get in your way. Of course, I'm not saying you should not make friends, but you should be more selective of them. In fact, I feel that you should ignore guys who are interested in you until after graduation so that you can focus on your studies.”
Wrenna didn't expect to hear that from Damian. She casually replied with a smile, “I know, Damian. Don't worry. I don't plan to get into a relationship before graduation. I don't even have enough time for my schoolwork. Hence, I won't be wasting any of it on romance.”
However, Damian's words only served to reinforce Wrenna's impression of him as her brother.
After all, he had said the same thing to Leia.
Wrenna couldn't help but laugh. “Damian, when Leia first entered high school, you said the same thing to her. Ever since she went overseas, do you still have the same restriction on her having a relationship? Haha, but don't you worry. I'm of the same mind as Leia. My priority now is on my studies. Everything else can wait.”
Damian almost burst a vessel as he wasn't stopping Wrenna from getting into a relationship as her godbrother.
He was sure that at the rate things were going, he would likely have a heart attack.
However, he squirmed his lips instead. “Mmm-hmm. That's good. I'm sure Henry thinks the same way too.”
“Hahaha...”
Wrenna burst into a burst of hearty laughter which rubbed salt into Damian's wound.
When they arrived at school, Damian insisted that he walk Wrenna back to her dorm. Firstly, he wanted to spend more time with her. Secondly, he wanted to avoid history repeating itself.
Although the walk from the school entrance to the dorm was long, Damian felt as if it was extremely brief considering that he couldn't even finish saying what he wanted to tell her.
This was a feeling that he had never experienced before.
By the time they arrived at Wrenna's dorm, Damian felt reluctant to leave.
“Are you going to the library tomorrow afternoon? I'll pick you up then.”
“There's no need for that. I'll go home by myself.”
“Didn't you promise to keep me company?”
“Huh? Okay.... Come by and pick me up then.”
Wrenna readily relented thinking that Damian must be feeling lonely.
“However, I might be late.”
“It's fine. I'll wait for you when I arrive.”
Wrenna nodded with a smile. Just when she was about to head back up, Damian suddenly grabbed her wrist.
Stunned, she turned around and gave him a puzzled look.
“Damian, is there anything else?”
