You’ll Fall for Me, Today or Tomorrow

Music filled the ballroom with lights dazzling the room. In a prince's banquet, the prince and his princess were all that was needed. Wrenna was held by Damian, following his steps and waltzing along with the music.

Wrenna didn't expect Damian to actually prepare a ball.

But there were not many people.

She raised her head toward Damian, who was in a black suit. The formal wear made him look even more dazzling than a prince.

He had a charming demeanor that attracted ladies. If there were ladies attending the ball tonight, many would fall in love with him at first sight.

Wrenna fell into silence. Damian couldn't help but whisper, afraid that she didn't like it. "Wren, do you like it?"

Wrenna broke into a bright smile immediately, "Yes, I like it, Your Highness."

It's rare for Wrenna to be playful, so Damian smiled along. "It's my honor to be able to please Princess Wren."

With that, they exchanged a smile and relaxed with the music. Following Damian's steps, they swayed along naturally.

Of course, they weren't going to dance for the whole night.

When the music stopped, Damian held Wrenna's hand and walked toward the restaurant. It was a candle-lit dinner, with lavish delicacies. Under the flickering light, their gaze in each other's eyes seemed to be in a haze. There were constant ripples lingering in the depts of their hearts.

Wrenna was almost lost in them.

She quickly lowered her head. But when she continued eating, the food felt tasteless.

Her heart was in a mess, she fell into a dilemma, and she didn't know if she should continue this.

Damian noticed her anxiousness and was genuinely concerned. "Wren, is the food not to your liking?"

"No, no." Wrenna curved her lips into a smile. "It's great. I'm just missing home."

Damian smiled in adoration. "Silly girl. We will be heading home tomorrow."

Wrenna nodded in response and continue eating.

Damian was trying his best to have a conversation with Wrenna. Even trivial things or memories of the past could work.

If this were the past, he might have thought such topics were boring, but Clarissa enlightened him.

Actually, between couples, there were not so many mushy things to talk about. They were usually just casual topics such as what you ate or drank, or if you're happy or not. And Damian slowly understood the meaning of behind making small talks.

During his conversation with Wrenna, it didn't feel awkward to talk about trivial things.

If not, there would only be silence between them.

It's necessary to take a walk after a meal. Wrenna did not say much, but she was trying to form her words in her heart.

"Wren, it's getting late. Shall we go back to the room to rest? We still have to catch the plane tomorrow."

Wrenna swallowed the words that she was about to say.

Heading upstairs, she was planning to do the packing when Damian stopped her.

"No hurry. I can do it. You can just sit here and enjoy the night view. Actually, the night view here is fantastic."

Damian's action seemed contradicting.

It was much better to enjoy the night view in the yard just now.

Wrenna noticed something was off, but Damian smiled and held her hand, then looked outside while standing by the window.

"Wren, can you accompany me just for a while, please?"

Wrenna agreed. She stood beside Damian with their fingers intertwined, looking at the night sky.

Actually, the sky was really dark and she didn't know what to look at.

Suddenly, fireworks exploded in the night sky. The gorgeous fireworks exploded in different colors and shapes, taking one's breath away with its beauty.

Wrenna's lips parted in amazement and the beautiful fireworks reflected in her eyes.

Damian finally chuckled and got closer to her, pulling her into an embrace with a smile.

"Happy birthday, Wren."

This was the finale.

Wrenna tilted her head and looked at Damian as she was startled. The dazzling lights outside shone on his handsome face.

And his face was full of smiles.

"Damian..."

Damian smiled. His hands held her cheeks as he lowered his head and planted a kiss on her forehead. Sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ Findɴovel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

"I see fondness and surprise in your eyes, am I right?"

"Yes."

"That's great."

Damian smiled while looking at Wrenna. The fireworks outside exploded with a bang. And Wrenna's heart seemed to have jumped with the sound as well.

He looked at Wrenna's small face in his palms in a daze.

And she looked back at him naively.

Damian bent his head again and moved closer to her lips. The distance between the two was getting closer and closer. Finally, their lips touched, slowly and softly, longing for each other.

At first, it was light touches. But Damian seemed to be dissatisfied with only such touches and tried to initiate something more.

It was like a spark of light and blazing fire, making Wrenna defenseless. Her body was heating up, the sound of their breathing got heavier and echoed in her ears, along with the sound of their rapid heartbeats Who knew how they ended up on the bed, with their bodies entwined, and clothes scattered on the floor.

Wrenna was dumbfounded, not sure what was happening.

But Damian didn't stop.

Suddenly, the last explosion of the fireworks jolted Wrenna back to her senses.

She pushed Damian all of a sudden and pulled the blankets to cover herself.

As for Damian, he finally snapped out of it, and he felt a pang of guilt.

Looking at Wrenna, who seemed scared, he comforted, "Sorry Wren, I was being too impulsive. But don't worry, I told you I will wait until your graduation. Don't be afraid..."

Wrenna remained her head low as thoughts flooded her mind.

Damian thought she was shy.

He smiled lightly and calmed himself before standing up. "I'll go take a shower."

Before entering the bathroom, he ruffled Wrenna's head and chuckled.

Not long after, Damian came out of the shower but Wrenna was already dressed. She stood beside the window. The fireworks had already stopped moments ago.

In the vast darkness, it was impossible to tell that the sky was once so gorgeous.

Damian walked over, wanting to embrace Wrenna. But she turned over and looked at him instead.

Her gaze were full of uncertainties that Damian couldn't read.

It was not shyness nor fondness, Damian immediately noticed something was off.

He thought he had scared Wrenna for being too rash.

"Wren, are you scared? Sorry I-"

"Damian."

Wrenna cut Damian's apology with a cold and emotionless voice.

"Damian, let's get a divorce."

Wrenna and Damian walked out of the airport together. The chauffeur and Johannes came to fetch them.

Wrenna went to the chauffeur's car in silence, while Damian went to Johannes's car.

Johannes was confused. When Mr. Quigley left, he prepared so many surprises. Yet, they looked so distant from each other after they were back.

Even Wrenna, who was always passionate and loving toward Damian, became indifferent. Something was definitely off.

But Damian didn't speak a word and headed off to the office straight away.

Although there are plenty of official matters to be dealt with in the company, I believe they are not urgent.

Johannes looked at Damian, who looked cold and unwelcoming. A stiff tension that had not been felt in a long time had approached the Tyson Corporation.

Not only Damian, but every staff including Johannes also seemed to have fallen into an ice age, trembling all over. From now on, they were going to live their life on the edge.

Meanwhile, Wrenna had returned home but didn't stay for long. She packed her stuff, planning to go to school. But the dormitory was not open since it was the holidays. So she changed her tracks and went to Hailey's place.

Hailey was surprised at Wrenna's arrival. But she didn't ask much before welcoming Wrenna and taking her to a meal. After returning, both of them sat on the sofa with their legs crossed. They sat on each side of the sofa, with cans of beer that they brought from outside.

With a beer in their hands, one was in deep thoughts, and the other one was silent.

Hailey didn't ask but Wrenna spoke up.

"Hailey, I brought up the divorce with Damian."

Hailey was surprised but was quickly calmed.

"I don't want to stay like this anymore. I knew that Damian would never fall in love with me, yet I was still stubborn about keeping this marriage. If it was in the past, I might have thought nothing of it. As long as love him, I could always chase after him. But people change, and I have changed too. I think I can't continue or maintain it anymore. Haha...wait for him to fall in love with me? As time passed, I got tired too. Anyways, perseverance was never a trait of mine. Loving Damian was the only thing I held on to. I've held onto this for too long, I can't go on anymore."

Hailey nodded in agreement. "Yeah, get a divorce. then"

Wrenna continued rambling, "Let me think. I used to think having something I can't have was the best feeling. I used to love him, obsessed with him, and that felt blissful. But after knowing him more and marrying him, my patience wore off slowly. 'Absence makes the heart grow fond', but there was no 'absence' between us anymore, and I could see things clearly now. Damian doesn't love me, and he never will. Who says love will come with time? That's probably bullsh*t. Of course, he might love someone else, but that won't be me.

"I've come to my senses, I realized that now. Why should I waste my life holding on to a man who would never fall in love with me?

"Hahaha...Hailey, I suddenly feel that I might be a scum? I used to say I would never get a divorce until Damian falls in love with me. But I have only been married for less than half a year, and I'm going to back down. Tell me, am I the bad guy here? Being impatient and not fulfilling my promise..."

Hailey shook her head in disagreement. "No, you've just become wiser."

"Really?"

Wrenna smiled lightly, as tears rolled down with the smile.
