Chapter 435 Begging For His Love
Then, they went to a restaurant near the Tyson Corporation building. Wrenna was still very annoyed.
She had questions, but dared not ask Damian.
She was afraid that she might receive an unacceptable answer.
Hence, after the food arrived, Wrenna kept her head low and kept on eating. She was quiet but did not give Damian the chance to say anything either.
She was worried that he would tell her how Stella was back and that he was still in love with her.
Maybe that is the truth.
Wrenna had a hunch that she did not want to confirm it.
At this point, she was just lying to herself, doing her best to act like she knew nothing and keep the peace of her seemingly hopeless relationship.
She was determined to protect her marriage and never get a divorce.
Never.
“Wren, is… “
“This is so good, Damian! We should come back again!” Wrenna raised her head and interrupted Damian.
Her face was pale, but she still had that forced smile on it.
With that, Damian forced himself to swallow whatever he wanted to say and agreed, “Sure.”
After that, Wrenna immediately buried her head into the food once more, even though she could hardly taste anything.
The tension in the air was relieved only when they were done with the food after Damian headed back to the company.
Wrenna, on the other hand, went home with the driver and ended up not going to the cooking class.
She could not calm herself down because she kept thinking about Stella.
Then, she looked at the time, thinking that she should go and see Leia for some advice. But the time was not right as Wrenna knew Leia was still on her break.
Do I just sit here and do nothing?
Suddenly, she thought about Damian’s friends. They all knew each other back then and knew about Stella and Damian’s relationship.
Hence, she immediately contacted Burnham.
Soon, she arrived at a shop near the hospital and waited for him. And when Burnham got there, he was panting heavily, covered in sweat as he quickly sat down.
“What happened, Wren? Is there anything you need me to do?” he asked after gulping down a glass of water.
Burnham was one of Damian’s good friends, so he treated Wrenna like a sister.
Who would have thought that she would actually become Damian’s wife?
He was a little in awe at how things turned out and thought about the stubborn Stella.
“Burnham. Do you know that Stella is back?”
Burnham froze up. “So you found out.”
He had an awkward smile on his face. “Umm… Well, we’re old friends, so we knew that Stella came back after completing her studies. It’s pretty normal. Hehehe. Where did you see her?”
‘At Damian’s office.”
“Oh… “
Burnham was curious but felt the awkwardness right after hearing that.
Yikes. That’s rough.
Burnham thought as he pictured the scene at the office in his mind.
“Umm… Wren. You know what they’ve been through, right? Even if Damian’s married, they can still be friends. It was just a simple meeting between friends. It’s not a big deal. It’s the same as our gathering last time. A normal gathering of friends and nothing else. I assure you.”
“Last time?” Wrenna’s face paled.
Seeing that, Burnham realized that he spilled the beans and felt even more awkward.
Meanwhile, Wrenna put up a bitter smile and said softly, “Yes, they were really close. There’s no way they wouldn’t contact or meet each other.”
“Wrenna?” Burnham was worried, seeing her lowering her head.
She quickly brushed her hand across the corner of her eyes before taking out her phone.
“Burnham, can you tell me how to contact Stella?” she asked.
“Huh? What are you going to do?” Burnham got caught off guard. “Wrenna. Stella and Damian are just friends now, and you’re his wife. Why don’t you forget about it?”
That said, Wrenna looked determined.
“Burnham. If you don’t tell me, I’ll go ask someone who will.”
“Why are you being so stubborn?”
“I’m not. It’s just that… “
Wrenna needed to act that way in order to protect her marriage.
“Wrenna. I don’t think there’s a need for you to meet Stella. You and Damian are married, for god’s sake. What are you afraid of? Things aren’t going to change even if you did. What’s yours will be yours, and what’s not will… “
Wrenna clenched her bag with everything she got, turning her nails white from the pressure.
She was biting her lips with her head still down before she repeated herself.
“Burnham. If you’re not going to tell me, I’ll find someone else.”
Wrenna stood up and left.
Burnham watched as she left, shaking his head as he called Damian.
“Hey, Damian. Wrenna just came to see me, asking for Stella’s contact number. I didn’t give it to her, of course. But why are you so careless? You should be more cautious when meeting Stella and not let Wren find out. That said, you shouldn’t be doing this. At least get a divorce so the both of you could be free,” Burnham said while leaving.
When he mentioned divorce, he saw Wrenna in front of him once again and immediately paused.
At the same time, Wrenna’s expression darkened before she turned around and left.
This time, it was for real.
Damian had ended the call as he did not want to entertain Burnham any longer.
As for Burnham, he froze in place with the phone still held at his ear, not knowing whether to tell Damian about it.
It’s fine, right? Wren needs to know sooner or later.
…
Despite all that, Wrenna still got hold of Stella in the end.
And it was as she suspected.
“Wrenna. Damian and I are really in love. You’ve seen it before, how he even went against his mother for me. This is something you can’t deny. And I too, love him dearly.”
“But, Damina and I are married.” Wrenna was doing her best to hold in the rage and fear she felt as she responded to Stella with a trembling body and gritted teeth.
“But he doesn’t love you.”
Stella’s statement felt like a huge blow for Wrenna, and there was no way for her to refute it.
“He’s my husband. We’re married,” she repeated over and over again.
Stella smiled as she noticed Wrenna was trying to act tough.
“Wrenna, you’re a good lady. We all know that you’ve been in love with Damian since a long time ago. But he only sees you as his sister. He only married you because his mother liked you, and you know how much he loves his mom. We all know that. There’s no love between the two of you. This marriage is destined to fall apart.”
“I’m not getting a divorce.”
“Are you going to slave Damian along in this shackle of marriage forever? If you love him so much, why let him suffer like this? Wrenna, why not let him be happy? He’s happy with me.”
“I’m not getting a divorce, never. Damian will love me. He will.”
“Ha! He did not fall in love with you after so long. What makes you think a few more months would make any difference?”
Wrenna was getting battered and bruised by Stella’s words, hurting inside. But Stella was reveling in it.
“Shut up!” Wrenna roared. She could not take it any longer.
However, Stella got up and stood right in front of Wrenna, looking down on her trembling body.
She felt victorious.
In the end, she’s still just a pitiful girl that no one loves.
“Wrenna Jackson. It’s very pitiful of you to be latching on to a man who doesn’t belong to you nor love you. Are you constantly begging for his love? Well, you’ll never get it since he’s a loyal man. If he loves me, he’ll only love me for the rest of his life. It doesn’t matter if you get a divorce or not. I’m fine with you defending your loveless marriage, but Damian’s mine. I love him, and I’m willing to wait for him, as long as he loves me and as long as we can be together forever.”
“Shut up! Just shut up!” Wrenna screamed and pushed Stella to the floor like a maniac.
Stella did not expect that the shy and timid Wrenna, who was always following behind Damian back then, to go berserk like that.
There was a flash of rage in Stella’s eyes, but it quickly turned into tears as her expression softened.
“Wrenna. Why are you doing this? I know you’re married. I didn’t do anything either. So why must you target me like this? What did I do wrong?”
“You’re a bi***, Stella Lane.” Wrenna stared furiously at Stella.
“You… “
Their conversation ended all of a sudden as Damian had appeared out of nowhere.
As soon as Wrenna saw him, her pupils constricted as fear filled her gaze.
“Damian.”
Both the ladies said his name at the same time, but one sounded like she was caught doing something bad while the other sounded like she was being bullied.
Damian looked at Stella, who was on the floor, before turning his gaze towards Wrenna.
“Damian, I… “
She wanted to explain, but stopped herself as she did push Stella onto the floor because she could not hold in her temper.
In front of Damian, that temper was gone in an instant. What was left was only guilt.
“Sorry, Damian. I’m sorry.”
Damian approached her and said, “It’s not me you have to apologize to. It’s Ms. Lane.”
“I… “
Wrenna could not believe that Damina was siding with Stella.
She felt deeply wounded. Her eyes were red when she raised her head as she looked at Damian’s blank expression.
“Sorry, Ms. Lane.”
