You’ll Fall For Me, Today Or Tomorrow Chapter 488

Chapter 488 Destiny

Watching history repeat itself, Henry clearly saw through Damian’s intention to patch things up with Wrenna. Even when they were married, Damian seldom sent Wrenna home, let alone watch a movie or share a meal.

Consequently, these were obvious signs of Damian wanting to reconcile. Unfortunately, Henry wasn’t going to give Damian another chance.

“Yaala, Damian is someone immature. What has he been doing all this while? When they were married, he let their problems escalate till it ended in divorce. This clearly shows how incapable he is. Furthermore, by regretting his actions after a divorce, he has only demonstrated what a despicable person he is.”

Yaala glared at Henry, wondering if he felt self-conscious saying something like that. However, Henry didn’t notice the look on her face and persisted on his stand. “From now on, we shouldn’t let Wren spend time with Damian. It’s better that we keep them apart.”

Yaala sneered. “Aren’t you equally despicable? You broke up with me and pursued me after that. By the same logic, you’re no different from Damian at all.”

“No, no. There is a difference. If we were already married, I wouldn’t have gotten a divorce. Don’t forget that Damian was more eligible than me and got married early. However, didn’t it end badly? That’s why he is more despicable than me.”

“Haha, aren’t you proud of yourself.”

“I’m only proud that I’m better than him.”

“That’s just because you’re more thick-skinned than he is.”

“I’m still better off than him. At the very least, I have a wife and child now. As for him, he’s still single.”

Henry gave Yaala a smug look when he finished. However, Yaala rolled her eyes and ignored his attempt to gloat. Used to her reaction, Henry even gave her a flying kiss before bursting into laughter.

After Yaala returned to her room, Henry gave the matter further thought and decided that he had to stop Damian from trying to reconcile with his daughter.

The next day, when the Jackson family was about to depart, Damian arrived at their home in his car.

Given how well acquainted they were, it was normal for Damian to stroll right into the Jackson residence. However, Henry disallowed it this time by stopping him at the door.

Therefore, Damian was forced to wait outside.

Wrenna didn’t understand what was going through her father’s mind. Hence, she gave her mom a look in search of answers.

Yaala replied candidly, “Your dad is nuts, so just ignore him and go with Damian.”

Henry bellowed at once, “No, definitely not. Our car has enough space for the three of us. Why should I allow Wrenna to sit with Damian? No, I absolutely forbid it.”

Wrenna could sense her dad’s agitation and recognized his attempt to break them up.

However, the thought only crossed her mind for a fleeting moment as Damian and she was no longer a couple. Hence, the idea of them breaking up was moot.

Nevertheless, she complied with Henry’s wishes to avoid angering him further.

“Fine, I won’t go in his car.”

Henry hugged his daughter with a smile. “That’s my girl. Don’t worry, I’m doing this for your own sake. Think about it, you have broken up with Damian. If you continue to see him so often, others might have the impression that you are going to reconcile. After all, not everyone knows that both of you are god siblings. Besides, this isn’t the best for either of you. After all, Damian is getting older and has to start a family soon as the Tysons are looking forward to having an heir. If you stay by his side, everyone will assume both of you are together. You will then be in the way of the girls who are interested in him. Don’t you think so?”

Henry did have a point.

Despite Yaala rolling her eyes discreetly, Wrenna nodded in agreement after giving it some thought.

“You’re right dad. I understand. I’ll be more mindful next time.” From NôvelDrama.Org.

Henry patted his daughter on her head. “You’re a smart girl. Come on now, let’s go.”

After leaving the house, Wrenna suddenly suggested, “Dad, I think I better sit with Damian. What you said just now makes sense. So, I should talk to him about it.”

Henry’s expression darkened. “Even then, can’t you talk to him later? Come on now, get in my car,” he ordered.

After discreetly winking at Damian, Wrenna got into Henry’s car reluctantly.

However, Damian didn’t seem to mind. He waved at her before following their car from behind.

After a two-hour drive, they arrived at a villa on the outskirts of the city. The sun was up and scorching hot.

The moment Wrenna alighted, her mom put a big hat on her. Not bothered by it, she scrutinized the surroundings with a smile.

Other than some farmhouses, she was greeted by a vast expanse of farmland. There was also a pond, some woods, and an animal pasture.

They were there to enjoy the countryside lifestyle where all the food was healthy and self-sufficient.

After parking his car, Damian hurried toward Wrenna and led her to a shady area while Henry was busy with the luggage.

“Damian, I think my dad is upset with you. I hope you don’t mind. Mom says that he is just getting bitter with age, hence the bad temper.”

Damian smiled wryly. “Henry has been unhappy with me for a long time now.”

Ever since his engagement to Wrenna, Henry resented him. The feelings were exacerbated further by the divorce.

Realizing it was his fault, Damian didn’t blame Henry at all.

Wrenna chuckled. “Don’t be dramatic. Nevertheless, Dad is right. Do you have more time on your hands lately? Since you’re free, why don’t you get Aunt Clarissa to introduce some pretty girls to you instead of wasting time on me? You have no time to lose when it comes to tying up your marriage. I have always wanted you to find happiness.”

When he heard Wrenna’s words, Damian’s buoyant mood changed drastically. In fact, he could even feel his heart sinking.

Looking intently at her, he tried to figure out what she was really trying to convey.

Does she resent me? Or is this just a casual remark? Can it be that she is rejecting me after knowing what my intentions are?

Damian’s silence caused Wrenna to grow anxious.

She suggested hesitantly, “Damian, are you… upset? I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have interfered with your private life. I’m sorry…”

“No, I’m not upset.”

Smiling plainly, Damian suppressed the curiosity he felt as he asked, “Do you really think that way? Or do you mean something else?”

“Huh? What else can I mean?”

“Perhaps, you’re annoyed by how often I see you?”

“No, no. I don’t mean that at all.”

“It’s a relief that you’re not irritated by me. I do have more spare time recently, but I’m not going to consider any sort of matchmaking. I’m sure you’re aware that I disapprove of such methods. If I have time, I rather spend it chatting or sharing a meal with you. However, if you think I’m a bother, we can just forget it.”

“No, I don’t think that way.”

Wrenna tried to desperately explain, “All right then, Damian. You are welcome to look me up if you’re free.”

Wrenna figured that Damian must be feeling lonely.

The only friends he had were Colton and Burnham. However, Burnham and Damian were on bad terms over what happened with Stella. As for Colton, Wrenna knew that he was spending most of his time with Hailey.

Therefore, he must see me as a good friend or sister whenever he comes to see me. Or else, given how busy he is and how much pressure he has, it’s a shame that he doesn’t have anyone in his life to share his problems with.

Thinking back to how stressed she was during her exams, she recalled how she almost fell into depression because she had no one to talk to.

Holding that thought, she decided that she wanted to be responsible for Damian’s happiness until he finds someone else. She would lend him her ear as a good friend so that he could have an outlet to relieve his stress.

“Are you doing this willingly? I don’t want to force you.”

While Damian was feeling hesitant, Wrenna had nodded eagerly.

“Of course, I’m happy to do it. You’re most welcome to drop by and see me whenever you’re free.”

Breaking into a smile, Damian reached out suddenly and pulled Wrenna into his embrace.

Just when Wrenna froze, Damian remarked, “Wren, thank you. Thank you very much.”

Damian’s gratefulness weighed on her.

She pitied Damian for how tough he had it. Shouldering the huge responsibility of managing a conglomerate, he had no one else to share his problems with.

When she was his wife, she couldn’t do much to help him. Now that she was his friend and godsister, she endeavored to do her best to help.

As the tension she felt began to ease, she wrapped her hands around him and patted him on his back.

Wrenna’s assumption caused her not to think of anything else. As for Damian, he was surprised by her response.

All he felt was that playing victim seemed to be effective. However, he was oblivious to the fact that Wrenna assumed him to be lonely and upset. In fact, she even thought that he was at risk of falling into depression.

If he had known what was going through her mind, he would’ve explained himself right away.

“Wren, what are you doing? You b*stard, let go of her!” Henry barked from afar.

As he was running over, Wrenna pushed Damian away before her dad killed him. Walking back to his side, Wrenna pacified Henry and led him back to their room.

Scratching his nose in guilt, Damian’s mood had lightened up.

Meanwhile, Clarissa was leaning against the door of the farmhouse while waiting for her son. She gave him a thoughtful look just as he approached.

“Damian, you really are Henry’s ex-son-in-law. You have similar characters and will probably share the same fate with him.”

Damian was puzzled. “What do you mean?”
