You’ll Fall For Me, Today Or Tomorrow Chapter 433

Chapter 433 The Whole Family Knows

Everyone gathered around the table as dinner time approached.

Clarissa was glad to see Damian and Wrenna getting along well. They seemed much closer after two months into the marriage.

After dinner, Damian went aside to talk to Matthew while Wrenna stayed with Clarissa.

“Mom, I’ve just registered for culinary classes. I’ve only attended a few classes so I’m still learning. I’ll make you and Dad some really nice food when I’m good at it.”

“That’s great! What have you been learning? Are the classes interesting?”

“Yeah, they are. I’ll do my best and make sure Damian loves my cooking.”

“Ah, now I see what you’re trying to do. You want to keep your man hooked.”

“Yeah. Do I have your support?”

“Of course! A lot of women want to be successful in their careers, but there are also women who want to be homemakers. I think both are equally respectable.”

Wrenna felt contented getting assurance from Clarissa.

“Thanks for being so supportive. I once told my mom that I was afraid she’d think I was not good, but this is truly what I want. I just want to stay at home and take care of Damian. I want to make sure he’s well-fed, he goes to work feeling happy, and that he does not worry about everything at home. This is enough for me.”

Wrenna grew up a pampered girl. Henry wanted his daughter to live like a princess. He did not want her to worry about anything. Regardless of who she married, he would see to it that she lacked nothing.

Wrenna herself was not an ambitious person either. She was not academically inclined, and nor did she have any hobbies other than drawing when she really felt like it. Unlike her friends and other women, she had no intention of being a career-oriented woman.

Besides, no one expected her to be one in her family, so she lived as she wished.

Clarissa liked the fact that Wrenna had a simple life.

“No way. I’m sure your mom will never think like that. You’re the best daughter she can have.”

“I know. My dad always says my mom doesn’t really mean it when she nitpicks me. She has a heart of gold. That’s why she married my dad,” Wrenna replied, laughing.

Clarissa believed so too. Back then, Yaala only agreed to marry Henry after she gave birth to Wrenna. Even when they got married, Yaala was even crying during the wedding.

After dinner, Damian drove Clarissa and Matthew back to Zen Highlands.

Clarissa had asked Damian to send them back earlier on because she wanted to talk to him.

There was no one else at home other than the family when they arrived. “Damian, I heard that Stella’s back.”

Clarissa went straight to the point. Her tone was a little harsh. She did not sound as gentle as she used to be.

Damian caught her deterrent glare and smiled uncomfortably.

“Mom, you don’t trust me, do you? Wren and I are already married. This is a lifetime promise, and I have given her my word to be loyal to her. I’m your son. You should know me better. I take marriage seriously.”

“But you don’t love her.”

Clarissa pointed out the truth blatantly.

Damian was caught off guard. “I’ll try to love her, Mom,” he sighed.

“Damian, I warned you before you got married that you shouldn’t ruin your whole life just because of a woman, but you told me you’re still able to love someone else other than Stella, and I still trust you. I know you’re not so selfish as to ruin Wren’s life because of another woman, but I still have to say this again. Since you’ve already promised to love Wren, you will have to do your best. Even if you cannot bring yourself to love her, you still have to stand by her and protect her forever. If you fail to do so, I’ll deal with you before the Jacksons even do anything.”

“Mom, I give you my word. I promise I will love and protect Wren for the rest of my life.”

“That’s good.”

The hard look on Clarissa’s face was gone by now. “Wren is a good girl. You’re everything she has, so you guys should have a child after she graduates. She will be so happy.”

Damian looked away and nodded.

“Alright.”

After assuring his mother that he would be faithful to his marriage vows, Damian drove home as the moon crept up into the dark sky.

Jackdaws Mansion was not far away from Zen Highlands. Damian built this house for himself after he was financially capable.

He also built Jade House for Leia. It was situated behind Zen Highlands, where his parents stayed.

He once told Clarissa that he wanted to buy her all the jewelry and bags she wanted and that he would take up the responsibility of bringing her sister up, and Damian did exactly that.

He covered Leia’s living expenses and everything else she needed.

It only took Damian fifteen minutes to reach Jackdaws Mansion.

When he reached home, Wrenna was video calling Leia.

“Yeah, Dad and Mom just went home. Did you just wake up? Are you even eating? You don’t look well. Do you want me to send you something nice?” Wrenna bombarded her with questions when she saw Leia.

Although Leia was a smart student, she was good at nothing else other than academics.

Even Wrenna, who was younger than her, had to take care of her.

It had already become her habit to look out for Leia.

“I’m fine. Don’t worry,” Leia said with a tired voice.

She leaned closer to the screen and looked at Wrenna carefully.

“By the way, you guys didn’t do it, right?”

“Huh?”

“Make love.”

Wrenna was shocked. Leia stared at her for a long time until Wrenna finally snapped back to reality with her cheeks flushed, but Leia was quick to catch on.

She spotted the fleeting worry in Wrenna’s eyes and she instantly knew what was going on.

Leia frowned and was about to probe further, but Wrenna said Damian had just gotten home and hung up after that.

“Damian, you’re home.”

Wrenna stood up and looked at him lovingly. It warmed Damian’s heart seeing the eagerness in her eyes. Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Damian told himself that even if he could not love Wrenna, he did not mind living with her forever.

He walked up to her and pulled her into his embrace before giving her a kiss on the forehead.

“Mmm, I’m back.”

Wrenna put her hands on his waist and rubbed her face against his chest, smiling away blissfully.

When morning broke the next day, Damian got up early to go for a run, but before he could even leave the house, Clarissa was already at the door.

There was hurt and anger written all over her face.

She did not sleep a wink after getting Leia’s call yesterday.

She could not believe Damian could do this to Wrenna.

“Mom! Good morning! What brings…”

Slap!

Before Damian could even finish his sentence, Clarissa had already slapped him hard in the face, but she broke down and started crying right after that.

She pulled her son into her arms and cried her heart out.

“Why didn’t you tell us earlier, Damian? Do you really think we will mind? How could you do this to Wren? How could you hurt her just because of your ego?”

Clarissa lost control and lashed out at Damian.

As a mother, she was heartbroken when she found out that Damian was impotent, but she could not accept the fact that she took advantage of Wrenna’s love for him and married her knowing he could not have a child, despite how much she disapproved of his behavior, he was still her son.

There was no way a mother could watch her child suffer and not feel anything.

Just when Damian was still wrecking his head trying to understand what was going on, Matthew came in.

He rushed over and pulled Clarissa away from Damian.

“Consult a doctor and see if you can get well. If not, get a divorce and we’ll apologize to the Jacksons together,” Matthew said in a serious tone.

“What are y’all talking about?”

Damian felt as if he was zapped by lightning early in the morning.

His parents were treating him as if he just committed the gravest sin.

“Damian, you don’t have to keep this to yourself. Leia has already told us about it. Have you ever gone to the hospital to get treatment? Or is there no hope anymore?”

Clarissa was torn and helpless.

Damian’s eyes twitched as he looked at his parents in utter confusion.

Now, what did that girl tell them?

He took a deep breath and tried to calm his parents down. “Mom, Dad, I’m fine. There’s nothing wrong with me. What did Leia tell you guys?”

“You’re fine? Then, why didn’t you sleep with Wren, huh? Even Leia could tell what is going on. She was video calling Wren yesterday and she said she saw it all from Wren’s expression. Damian, you should at least try and see if you can fix it. We can even look for the best doctors overseas. You really shouldn’t do this to Wren.”

Damian mustered all his efforts to refrain from swearing.

“Yes, Mom. It’s true that Wren and I haven’t done it, but it doesn’t mean there’s something wrong with me, okay? What about you guys leave first and we talk about this later?”

Oh my… I can’t believe this.

“Then, why are you guys not sleeping together?” Clarissa was adamant about getting to the bottom of it.

Matthew saw Damian was on the brink of losing it already, so he pulled Clarissa away.

“What’s wrong with you, Matthew? I need to know if he’s telling the truth!”

Matthew did not answer her but just drag her into the car.

Damian had an urge to call Leia and teach her a good lesson as he watched his parents leave, but on second thought, he figured it would be useless. She would just respond curtly as she always did.
