Chapter 450 Do Not Treat Me Like Your Sister
Wrenna’s eyes reddened as she sat up in bed while hugging her blanket.
She had no intention to find out what Damian and Stella were talking about outside the room. All she did was gaze out of the window.
The sky was enveloped in darkness as the sun went down. Wrenna’s mind still drew a blank.
Damian, who only came into the room after some time, was surprised to see Wrenna in a daze. “Hey, when did you wake up?”
Wrenna turned around and looked in Damian’s direction. “Where have you been?”
“I went to the bar downstairs to have a drink with Burnham,” Damian replied.
“Oh. I’m hungry. Do you have anything that I can eat?” she asked.
Damian grinned and walked up to her. “Of course. The meal I ordered earlier has turned cold. I’ll make another order for you. You’ve had such a long nap. Can you still sleep tonight?”
With a pair of trembling hands, Wrenna immediately grabbed the corner of Damian’s shirt and then wrapped her hands around his waist.
She rubbed her head against his chest for a while but instantly stopped what she was doing.
Damian gently patted her head as he did not notice what was wrong with her. “You must be famished. I’ll make an order right now. Go and freshen up first, okay?”
When Damian was about to leave, Wrenna clung even more tightly to his waist.
“What’s wrong?” Damian asked.
Wrenna kept mum for a while before releasing Damian. She pressed her lips and answered, “I’m fine. I just feel a little sluggish, that’s all.”
Damian responded with a smile before turning around and walking out of the room.
The room service had arrived just when Wrenna stepped out of the room. She then sat down and enjoyed her meal quietly.
Perhaps she was still in a daze, she was not as hyped as she was during the day.
Damian lifted his head, took a glance at Wrenna, and smiled before continuing his work on the computer.
After Wrenna finished her meal, she sat beside Damian and leaned against him.
After taking a sniff of Damian, she joked, “The unpleasant smell from the bar reminds me of women’s fragrance.”
Damian froze for a bit and looked at her. In response, Wrenna scrunched her nose on purpose and asked, “Did someone flirt with you?”
Damian responded with an awkward laugh. “Don’t overthink. Perhaps someone just brushed against my body accidentally.”
“I believe you and I’m sure you remember that you’re a married man,” Wrenna teased.
She then stood up, opened the door to the pool, and stood under the moonlight. When a gentle breeze swept over her body, she took a deep breath and tried to relax.
Don’t overthink, Wrenna. Don’t. You’re used to waiting for him anyway, aren’t you?
But somehow, she felt she was gradually losing her patience.
Why do I behave like this? Why am I suppressing my emotions? I feel like I’m not who I am anymore.
It’s time for me to pull myself together. I should remain quiet and stay obedient like how I used to be. I’m sure I’ll win Damian’s heart someday.
Wrenna gazed into the night sky and grinned.
She regained her composure, returned to the room, put on a cheerful smile. “Damian! Shall we take a stroll on the beach?”
“Now?” Damian raised his brows and looked at Wrenna, who nodded steadily.
He responded with a grin and agreed. “All right. Let’s go then.”
The moment he stood up after putting away his laptop, Wrenna stepped forth, held his hand, and walked out of the room together.
The weather was rather pleasant, even though it was getting late. That was why there were still people walking along the beach.
Like a teenager who did not have a care in the world, Wrenna hopped along the beach. Once in a while, she would turn around to look at Damian and smile at him. “Damian, are you happy?”
Damian put his hands in his pockets and walked casually. “Yeah.”
She responded, “Me too. I’m happy because I’m with you.”
Damian did not say anything after that.
“I like you very much, Damian,” Wrenna confessed all of a sudden.
Upon hearing that, Damian froze for a moment.
Wrenna was not embarrassed at all. It was not her first time expressing her feelings for Damian anyway. “Do you remember I told you I like you very much?”
Of course, Damian remembered. Wrenna confessed her feelings for him right after Stella left for overseas after they broke up.
At that time, Wrenna was still very young. Damian remembered she said she would love him and would do everything to cheer him up. He was very touched by her confession.
Damian nodded and replied, “Yeah, I remember.”
“Since then, I’ve fallen deeply in love with you,” she continued.
Words stuck in Damian’s throat for a bit before he responded, “Thanks?”
Wrenna looked at him and stuck out her tongue. “Can’t you tell me you like me too?”
“Okay. I like you too.” Damian gave her an awkward smile.
Deep in Wrenna’s heart, she knew Damian was not in love with her, but she was still thrilled to hear him say that.
She walked up to him and wrapped her hands around his waist. She looked up and gazed into his eyes. “Can you repeat what you’ve just said?”
Damian said, “Okay… I like you too…”
“Say it again.”
“I like you…”
“Again.”
Damian burst into laughter. “I like you. You happy?”
Wrenna embraced him even more tightly. She shut her eyes and imagined how much Damian liked her.
While Wrenna was still enjoying the moment on the beach, she overheard a moaning sound from a distance. Damian’s body instantly went stiff.
Wrenna leaned forward and tried to trace the source of the sound. “What sound is that?”
That sound…
Oh, dear Lord! The moment Wrenna figured out what the noise was all about, her face blushed instantly.
Despite feeling a little awkward, she was eager to know what was going on in that hidden corner.
Instead of leaving, Wrenna, who was still hugging Damian, remained static as the moaning became more intense.
Damian, who came around after zoning out for a few seconds, grabbed Wrenna’s hand and tried to pull her away.
Wrenna trotted to him from behind and returned to the hotel.
In a calm voice, Damian said, “Get some rest.”
Wrenna gave Damian a puzzled look after glancing at his crotch. But before she could take a closer look, Damian immediately covered it with his hands.
“What are you looking at? Take a bath and turn in early. I’m going for a swim.” Damian placed his palms on the back of her head and shoved her into the room.
He was gone by the time she turned around to look at him.
Wrenna walked to the window and leaned against the frame. She could not keep her eyes away from Damian’s sculpted body and agile movements.
Just when she was about to express how in awe she was with his body, she immediately covered her mouth with her hands.
Wrenna was pleased that she got to admire his body all by herself now, though she missed it during the day.
She could not help but allow her imagination to run wild, especially right after the incident by the beach.
After swimming several laps, Damian took a break by resting his arms on the edge of the pool.
He was taken aback when he saw Wrenna staring at him with a pair of sparkly eyes.
After letting out a sigh, he got out of the pool and returned to the bathroom. Wrenna followed right behind, but he stopped her from entering.
That frustrated her a little, but upon hearing the shower sound from the bathroom, she started giggling like a fool.
By the time Damian came out of the bathroom while drying his hair with a towel, Wrenna had already put on a sexy black chiffon nightgown, leaning sideways on the bed.
The fabric of the nightgown was so thin that Damian could clearly see the shape of her body. Wrenna kept her eyes shut, but she failed to stop her eyelashes from fluttering.
Damian was stunned by the pose she struck and had no idea what he should do.
Wrenna, who had waited for Damian to make the first move, opened her eyes to take a peep at him.
Suddenly, she felt someone had covered her body with a thin blanket.
Wrenna looked straight into Damian’s eyes. Come on! Not again? All her anxiousness instantly vanished into thin air.
She kept looking at Damian and wanted to hear what he had to say.
Damian grinned and said, “You’re just a young girl.”
For the very first time, he addressed the matter head-on. He sat by the bed and held her dainty hands. “You’re still very young, Wren. You’re even younger than Leia. Let’s wait till you finish college first, okay?”
Is that what he really thought, or was he using that as an excuse?
A line formed between Wrenna’s brows, and she gazed into his eyes. “But I’m not a child anymore. Can you please don’t treat me like a child?”
“I treat you as my wife,” Damian said.
“So…” Before Wrenna could finish her sentence, Damian received a call that interrupted the conversation.
Damian patted the back of her hand and went out to answer the phone. “Yes, Johannes?”
Wrenna instantly lost the courage she had mustered up for the act.
Feeling defeated, she could only take it out on the pillow.
By the time Damian returned to the room, Wrenna had fallen asleep.
She had tossed her blanket aside, and her nightgown had rolled up her waist, revealing her nether regions.
Damian resisted the temptation. He walked up to her, tidied her nightgown, and covered her with the blanket. He then leaned forward and kissed her forehead.
Instead of going to bed, Damian poured himself a glass of wine. He sat beside the pool and went deep in thought.
Wrenna’s words kept lingering in his mind.
Don’t treat me like a child anymore. I like you very much, Damian!
Damian could not help but let out a self-deprecating smile. I’m developing an interest in a girl whom I’ve always viewed as my younger sister? How odd can this be?
He began to wonder if it was time for him to reevaluate his relationship with Wrenna.
