Chapter 447 He Is My Dream Man
Wrenna stopped speaking abruptly and narrowed her eyes. Her expression turned stiff, and she looked hurt.
Xandra noticed straight away that something was wrong and followed Wrenna’s gaze. However, the two people had gone in, so she did not see anything.
“What’s wrong? What did you see?” Xandra asked.
Wrenna shook her head.
At the same time, the waiter came to them.
“May I help you with anything?” the waiter asked. However, Wrenna remained in a daze. The waiter had to repeat his question two more times before she snapped out of it.
“Oh… Nothing. It’s fine…” Wrenna answered.
Then, she stood up suddenly and said, “Excuse me. I’m going to the restroom.”
Dora was busy eating. She looked up from her food in surprise and saw Wrenna rushing away. “I don’t think the restroom is that way.”
Even Linda suspected that something was wrong and glanced at Xandra. Xandra seemed to be pondering something before she stood up and said, “I’ll go and check on her.”
Meanwhile, Wrenna rushed in the direction that Stella and Damian went. However, she did not know which private lounge they entered.
Therefore she stood in the lobby and gave Damian a call.
“Hello.” Damian’s voice soon sounded on the phone.
“Damian, have you finished work?” Wrenna asked.
Damian was silent for a moment before answering calmly, “Not yet, but I’ll be finishing soon. Did you have fun with your classmates?”
Before this, Wrenna told Damian that she reconciled with Dora. Therefore, she was going out for dinner with them and might not be home tonight.
That was why Damian asked her that question.
On the other hand, Wrenna found that she could not speak upon hearing his answer.
She coughed quickly to clear her throat. “Ahem… Yes, we are having fun. Damian, don’t overwork yourself and remember to rest. You should go home soon. I might go back suddenly to check on you, haha…”
Her laughter sounded so fake.
However, Damian replied calmly, “All right, I’ll be going back soon. If you’re coming home, let me know. I’ll go pick you up.”
“Oh, I’m only joking with you. I’m not going home tonight and will be staying in the hostel to chat with my roommates. That’s all for now. Please remember to head home early,” Wrenna replied.
After hanging up, she stood on her spot and looked at the private lounge door but did not go in.
When she turned around, she saw Xandra standing nearby.
Wrenna forced herself to smile and say, “What brings you here? I seem to have lost my way and can’t find the restroom.”
Xandra held her hand and asked, “What did you see? Is someone you know here?”
Wrenna shook her head and said, “No, I was mistaken. Let’s go and continue our dinner.”
It seemed that she did not want to talk about it, so they returned to their seat.
Now, Wrenna lost her cheerfulness from before. She ate quietly and listened to her friends chatting.
Even the most unobservant people could see that there was something wrong with her.
While Wrenna was in a daze, Dora and the others exchanged glances.
“Wren, let’s go. We will go to karaoke and have fun. I haven’t sung for a long time…” Dora urged.
“Oh, sure, let’s go.” Wrenna went along with their plans and did not object. Then, she got up to foot the bill.
As they were leaving, Wrenna looked at the private lounge again with a troubled expression.
At the karaoke, Wrenna grabbed the microphone kept singing. It was as if she was stuck in her world as she sang song after song alone. She did not even notice that her voice turned hoarse.
“Xandra, what’s wrong with her? Wasn’t she fine when we started dinner? What happened?” Dora asked.
“Yes, she left suddenly during dinner and became like this when she returned. Did something happen to her?” Linda added.
Xandra shook her head and replied, “I don’t know. But I think there’s only one person who can cause her to react this way. There’s no one else.”
“That’s right. Did Mr. Quigley mistreat Wren? Or did that woman cause her trouble again?” Dora asked.
These were only their suspicions. Since Wrenna would not say anything, there was no way for them to know for sure.
By late night, Wrenna had lost her voice, and there were many wine bottles in the private lounge.
Judging from the scene, it was apparent that Wrenna drank to drown her sorrow.
Her friends decided not to return to school and stayed to accompany Wrenna.
They remained in the private lounge with her for the whole night. At dawn, before the sun rose, Xandra woke up everyone and hailed a cab to send them to school.
Meanwhile, Wrenna remained asleep through it all. Her friends had to carry her upstairs. Then, they washed up and headed off to classes or rest.
Wrenna finally woke up at noon and smelled food in the air.
Dora saw that she was awake and said hurriedly, “Wren, I brought lunch for you, so get up and eat quickly. You have a class in the afternoon. Didn’t you say that you have to attend that class? Luckily you don’t have classes this morning.”
Wrenna rubbed her head. It felt heavy and painful. She sat in a daze for a moment before getting up to wash up and have lunch.
Dora looked at her and felt that she had calmed down after last night. Therefore, she asked tentatively, “Wren, did something happen last night?”
Wrenna smiled and said, “Nothing happened. I just haven’t indulged myself for a long time and went overboard.”
It was obvious that she did not want to talk about it.
Thus, Dora did not ask further. She could not help but sigh as she saw that Wrenna was not her usual self.
If Damian was the reason behind Wrenna’s sadness, Dora wondered if Wrenna had made the right choice in marrying him.
Although Wrenna married the man she loved, she seemed less happy than before.
“Wren, no matter what happened, we are your friends, and we hope for you to be happy,” Dora said.
Wrenna was stunned for a moment before she relaxed and smiled.
“I’m happy, Dora. It’s true. You don’t have to worry about me. Even though I seem unhappy sometimes, it’s only temporary. I’m now quite happy. After all, my dream came true,” Wrenna replied.
Damian was Wrenna’s dream man.
“All right,” Dora answered.
That night, Wrenna returned to Jackdaws Mansion.
“Mrs. Quigley, Mr. Quigley just called and said that he will be back late tonight. Would you like to have dinner first?” Cora asked. She had just finished cooking dinner.
Wrenna hesitated for a moment before asking, “Did Damian not come home for dinner yesterday?”
“Yes, Mr. Quigley had to work late, so he came home later than usual,” Cora answered.
“I understand. Cora, I’m not hungry. I won’t be having dinner yet,” Wrenna said.
Cora seemed a little disappointed as Wrenna headed upstairs.
Wrenna changed her clothes and sat on the balcony in a daze. A moment later, she got up and went to her small study. She needed to do something to distract herself.
Therefore, Wrenna worked on her comic and only looked up from it when Damian returned home.
It was half past eleven at night.
She looked out from her window and saw that Damian’s car had arrived. Then, she stood up and rushed out of the study to head downstairs.
The moment Damian entered the house, Wrenna threw herself into his embrace and hugged him tightly. “Damian, you’re back.”
Damian was a little surprised. He pulled away from her gently to look at her.
He glanced down at her and saw that her hair was disheveled. She had run to him barefooted and wore only her pajamas. It made her seem thin and pitiful.
His eyes were filled with affection as he looked at her.
This affection came from deep within his heart.
His heart became a little flustered, but he calmed it quickly. “Silly girl, why didn’t you wear shoes?”
He immediately carried her up in his arms and walked upstairs.
Meanwhile, Wrenna’s heart was beating wildly, and her cheeks were flushed. She could not resist wrapping her arms around his neck and pressing her face against his chest, wanting to get even closer to him.
It will be great if we can be close like this forever.
Damian placed her on the bed and found her shoes. He chuckled at seeing her flushed cheeks and patted her head. “I’m going to take a bath. You should rest first.”
Wrenna nodded obediently. After Damian went into the bathroom, Wrenna got out of bed and continued working on her comic on the computer.
After Damian came out of the bathroom, Wrenna asked him to hug her again. As she lay in Damian’s arms on the bed, she thought that nothing else mattered.
Damian is a good man. As long as I can hug him to sleep at night, I’m more than happy.
Wrenna smiled in Damian’s embrace.
Damian looked at Wrenna in his arms and asked, “What are you smiling about?”
Wrenna looked up with a dazzling smile and kissed Damian on his lips. “I’m happy.”
Damian was surprised and patted her head. “Let’s sleep. Good night.”
“Yes, good night, Damian,” Wrenna replied.
Tonight, Wrenna recovered to her usual self.
She realized that she should not let a minor incident cause her to lose confidence in her new marriage.
Perhaps Damian and Stella met over some matter. There might also be other people with them that day. After all, they were schoolmates and friends. I have to stop overthinking it. However, he married me because Clarissa was pleased with me, even though he still loves Stella. Furthermore, we never have the intimate relationship expected of a married couple.
Thinking of these, Wrenna realized that she would only experience more sadness. However, she realized that what mattered the most was that she married Damian and became Mrs. Quigley.
She dreamed of marrying Damian since she was a young girl. The fact that it came true was enough to dispel most of her sadness.
Therefore, she was quite happy.
The following morning, Wrenna woke up early to make breakfast. She once said that she wanted to be a good wife. However, she delayed putting it into action.
After making a sumptuous breakfast, she watched Damian finish them before walking him to the door. She hoped to start her morning like this every day.
After that, Wrenna packed her things and went to school.
It would be a holiday in a few days. Wrenna could not focus in class as she was busy thinking about what she wanted to do with Damian.
Hopefully, she could spend time alone with him. She could not resist smiling to herself as she thought of that.
