SWNOVELS Chapter 484
Thinking of how he suddenly had an additional sister and even had to prepare dowry for her in the future, Damian felt like cursing very badly. Nonetheless, as the civilized president of Tyson Corporation, he could not bring himself to spit vulgarities in the presence of his family members. Due to that, he was aggrieved and frustrated, yet he could not explain why he felt this way.
Throughout dinner, he listened to Wrenna call him with a gentle voice.
"Damian, help me serve the food. Oh yeah, it seems like you're no longer that busy recently."
Damian very much wanted to say that one sister was more than enough for him.
But Wrenna's bright smile made him unable to put forth those words.
After dinner, Clarissa followed Matthew along for a stroll in the yard while Wrenna and Damian sat in the living room.
The two barely talked to each other as Wrenna had been busy with her phone.
Taking a casual glance at Wrenna's phone, Damian could not help but advise, "Wren, don't keep looking at your phone. It's bad for your neck."
Wrenna smiled. "I've only played for a while. Don't worry as I don't spend that much time on my phone."
Damian went quiet.
Deep down, he was feeling vexed, but he saw no response from Wrenna.
In the end, he still could not hold himself back and broke the silence. "Wren, have you gotten used to school? Are the lessons difficult? Do you have problems following them? Are you getting along well with your teachers and classmates?"
"Hahaha!"
Wrenna finally stopped fiddling with her phone and burst into unstoppable laughter.
Unsure of the meaning of her action, Damian frowned.
"You've already asked me those questions yesterday when we had our meal together. Have you forgotten?"
His lips twitched as he instantly felt awkward.
Seeing his expression, Wrenna smiled. "Is it boring? How about we have a chat? What do you want to talk about?"
Damian did not want to engage in any conversation.
"Just continue playing with your phone."
After a slight hesitation, he stood up and decided to walk away.
But before he left, he asked, "Do you need me to send you back to school?"
"Oh... sure. It's time I should leave too. Give me a second; I'll tell Aunt Clarrisa before I leave."
However, Damian grabbed her hand and pulled her along toward the outside of the house.
"You don't have to do that. She'll know when she doesn't see you in the house. Besides, there're so many people at home. They'll tell her about it."
Exasperated, Wrenna could only follow along.
After getting in the car, Wrenna fastened her seatbelt. Meanwhile, Damian sat in the driver's seat, seemingly in a trance. He instinctively rubbed his right hand, the hand that he had used to hold Wrenna's hand earlier.
What a soft and smooth hand that is. And it's so tiny in my palm. How cute.
"Damian? Did you forget something?"
Her gentle voice brought Damian back to his senses.
Remaining silent, he started the car engine and drove off.
When Clarissa and Matthew returned home, the two younger ones had already left for a long time.
Clarissa snorted, giving off a look that she had expected for that to happen.
"That rascal. Why is he still so enthusiastic when they've already divorced? What was he doing before the divorce then? Wasn't he busy with work all the time then? I don't buy that sh*t!"
Clarissa never believed that Damian got off work earlier by coincidence, nor the excuse of Cora returning home for personal matters either. She clearly knew that was not the case as she had called Cora in the afternoon.
That rascal is obviously doing all that for Wrenna.
Indeed, Clarissa was a mother. As such, she knew her son very well.
Looking at Matthew, she sat beside him and placed her arms on his shoulders, smiling pretentiously.
"Matthew, it's no wonder why Damian is your son. He's exactly like the younger you, unwilling to speak his mind and even puts on an act..."
Matthew turned to look at Clarissa.
"Of course he is my son."
"Pfft! That's not my main point. Why can't you two speak whatever you have on your mind? You guys throw the cool front to outsiders, but in fact, you all are really-"
Before she could finish speaking, Matthew suddenly turned his body, causing her to fall into his embrace.
Taking advantage of the situation, Matthew hugged her tightly, lowered his head, pinched her chin, and said in a deep voice, "Clare, do you not like me that way? Do you not like me acting cool?" Holding back her laughter, Clarissa put on a solemn expression and replied, "Hmph! No, I don't. It was so hard to read you. Do you remember how I'd always rejected your pursuit?"
"Can't read me? Or are you just too much in love with me?"
"Definitely not!"
"Haha!" Matthew sneered.
Clarissa pulled Matthew on his ear with force and explained, "Let me repeat. I'm not deep in love with you back then. Do you understand?"
Matthew had a smug look on his face. "What about now?"
Clarissa pursed her lips tight, unwilling to answer his question.
Right then, Matthew suddenly planted a kiss on her lips. "How about this?"
Clarissa's lips quirked a little but did not respond.
Matthew planted yet another kiss.
This time, Clarissa smiled. He immediately followed with another kiss that lasted longer than the previous one.
Unable to suppress her feelings any longer, she burst into a smile, which Matthew quickly sucked up with his kiss. The two were so engrossed in the steamy session that they were reluctant to part. The maids in the house had wanted to inform them something but instead saw the loving couple kissing. They were, nonetheless, unfazed by the scene because they were too used to their display of affection. The two continued acting all lovey-dovey for a long time before their lips parted ways.
Smiling, Clarissa pinched Matthew on his ears.
"I love you to the core. Okay?"
He reservedly replied, "Great."
The two exchanged smiles before Clarissa went back to the topic. "What I've said earlier was true, right? He was quite a jerk when he was married to her, but what is he trying to do now? Don't tell me he wants reconciliation when they're divorced now? I'm don't think he looks like he loves Wren at all. If he hurts Wren again, I'll take action before Henry does! I'll cut him off and give birth to another one instead!" Hearing that, Matthew smiled. "Do you need my help?"
Somehow, those words sounded extremely weird coming out of his mouth.
Clarissa suspiciously glared at Matthew, who lifted his lips into a smirk before prancing onto her and biting her ear. He whispered something into her ear, which garnered her coquettish response, pushing him away, and whined, "Matthew! Stop fooling around!"
And what followed was Matthew getting into action...
He was truly an old man going strong.
Meanwhile, after arriving at Wrenna's school, Damian walked her in.
The path back to the dorm at night was not only quiet but filled with sensual and romantic air too.
Many couples were in the surrounding, holding hands, hugging, and even kissing.
Damian's face turned slightly awkward at that sight.
Are all young people so bold these days?
Being very familiar with such sights in school, Wrenna was rather unbothered by it.
All that was in her mind was the preparations she had to do for classes tomorrow. That was her usual thought process whenever she was in silence.
"Wren?"
Attributing Wrenna's quietness to her being embarrassed as well, Damian decided to change the topic and divert her attention.
He then proceeded to pull her by her hand after seeing that she did not respond. But in reality, Wrenna did not hear him.
She was caught off-guard and turned around to look at him in surprise.
Damian looked at her and wanted to say something, yet swallowed his words back. When he was about to speak again, someone broke the silence. "Wrenna?" The voice was full of hostility and hatred.
Wrenna was stunned and looked in the direction where the voice sounded. Before she and Damian could react, a tight slap landed on her face.
Slap!
Just as the girl wanted to serve another slap, Damian hastily pushed her away and pulled Wrenna into his embrace to protect her.
"Wren..."
The girl had probably used all the strength she had that not only was Wrenna's cheek in burning pain, there was also a red slap mark on it. Damian was both furious and heartbroken.
"Wrenna! You shameless woman and a bloody tra*p!" The girl began yelling and interrogating.
Wrenna looked in the direction of the girl. Though the latter seemed a little familiar to her, she could not immediately tell who she was.
"Who are you?"
After a slight pause, the girl flew into rage again.
"Stop acting in front of me. I'm Jayden's girlfriend. Hah, no. Thanks to you, I've been dumped. Technically, I'm his ex-girlfriend now. Wrenna, what a whore you are! You said you don't like Jayden, yet you have ruined our relationship! You filthy b*tch! Oh, you here... I bet you don't know how cheap Wrenna is, huh? I'll advise you to come to your senses quickly! She's a tra*p, a lowly whore!"
The girl's high-pitched voice attracted the attention of the people around.
Looking grim, Damian snarled, "Shut up! Wren is my wife, and she has no relationship whatsoever with your boyfriend. If you're continuing to act this way, I won't be nice to you even if you're a student." "Wife? Then your wife has cheated-"
"Shut up, Bertilla."
Appearing out of nowhere, Jayden furiously cut her off. "How many times do you want me to tell you that our breakup has nothing to do with Wrenna? We're simply incompatible."
"Incompatible? You're still so protective of her? Just look at her; she's a whore. Mister, this is the guy your wife is having an affair with. It's best if you leave her earlier to avoid getting cheated on again."
