Chapter 451 Smiling In My Dreams
Damian had always seen Wrenna as a sister.
Therefore, even after he considered marrying her, it was hard for him to change that mindset.
However, that was not important. Damian could love and cherish Wrenna. They had a long life ahead, so he could gradually learn to see her as his wife.
It did not matter whether he saw her as his wife or sister. She would always be someone close to his heart.
He believed that with time, he would develop deeper feelings for her. Then, they would grow old together.
However, Damian did not expect to desire Wrenna sexually. He could not control his bodily reaction, and the desire crumbled his resolve.
He had always seen Wrenna as a sister, so he felt ashamed to react this way.
Therefore, he felt guilty and did not dare to face her.
Damian felt that they should at least wait until they had been married for a long time before doing such things. Only then would it not seem strange.
Thus, Damian felt that he was too barbaric.
Tonight, he let go of himself and drank a lot of alcohol. In the end, he fell asleep on the couch.
In the morning, Wrenna came out of the room after waking up and saw Damian lying on the couch. His well-formed brows seemed more relaxed than they were in the past few days as he slept soundly.
She kneeled beside him, observed him closely, and smiled to herself.
No matter how I look at Damian, he’s just so good-looking. He looks handsome with thick eyebrows, long lashes, a tall nose, and an angular jaw.
As she looked at him, she glided her finger along the bridge of his nose gently so as not to wake him up.
Unfortunately, Damian woke up when she touched him. His sharp eyes appeared dazed for a moment before turning alert.
Then, he pushed her head away from his face and sat up. “What are you doing?”
Wrenna smiled and said, “Nothing, I thought that you look handsome even when you’re asleep.”
Damian laughed and got up. As he was heading to the bathroom, he said, “Didn’t you prepare an itinerary? Where are we going today? Let’s get ready. We will leave after breakfast.”
Wrenna leaned against the bathroom door before he closed it and asked, “Damian, are you scared of heights?”
Damian raised an eyebrow and asked, “What will we be doing?”
“Hehe…Bungee jumping,” Wrenna answered.
Damian considered for a moment and looked at Wrenna suspiciously. He seemed doubtful of Wrenna. “I’m fine as long as you’re not afraid.”
“I’m not scared,” Wrenna responded immediately and was confident that she would not be afraid.
However, when she stood at the highest point later, she shook uncontrollably even before looking down.
Fortunately, Damian was there. Otherwise, she would have fainted.
“We don’t have to do this. Let’s just leave.” Damian hugged Wrenna as she shook pitifully. He was both exasperated and amused.
He caressed her shoulders and comforted her, “Look at how frightened you are. There’s no need to persist. Let’s go down.”
“No, no, I want to do this,” Wrenna Insisted.
Doing bungee jumping while hugging the man she loved seemed romantic, so Wrenna was determined to do it.
Furthermore, this was one of the things she planned to do with Damian. Therefore, she had to do it.
Damian said resignedly, “Close your eyes and don’t be afraid. I’m with you.”
“Damian, please give me a moment, I will be fine in a while. Please don’t let go.”
The staff stood nearby and were more friendly than usual when she saw such a beautiful couple. “Miss, don’t be scared. You will be safe, and your boyfriend will be holding you. We take great care with our safety measures, so there won’t be any problem. Furthermore, you have nothing to fear with such a handsome boyfriend.”
Even Wrenna couldn’t help but be amused with what the staff said.
She could not resist opening her eyes slightly to look at the female staff and said, “He’s not my boyfriend but my husband.”
“Is that so? Since he’s your husband, you have nothing to fear. If I have such a handsome husband, I’ll be smiling even in my dreams,” the female staff replied.
Wrenna nodded immediately. “Well, I’ve only had sweet dreams ever since I married him.”
Damian chuckled. She is so happy that she got carried away.
“All right, shall we begin?” the staff asked.
Wrenna hugged Damian tight. “Damian, you must not let me go. You must hold on to me tightly!”
“I will. Don’t be scared. I’m here.” Damian comforted Wrenna gently. Whenever Wrenna looked at Damian, she felt her fear dissipate slightly.
Then, she kept looking at Damian and would not look away.
She was more than happy to keep looking at him all her life, until the end of time.
“Ready?” the staff said.
Wrenna held onto Damian tighter while he kissed the corner of her lips.
“Don’t be scared. Hold on to me,” Damian coaxed. He gave her a gentle kiss before jumping down.
“Aaaahh…” Wrenna screamed all the way down.
The staff smiled with amusement.
“To be honest, if I have such a handsome husband, I won’t be scared at all. I would even be grinning as I jump,” the female staff said.
“Am I not handsome?” said a male staff.
“Go away. I don’t like you. I only like handsome men,” the female staff scolded.
After Damian and Wrenna got down from the bungee rope, her legs gave way, and she fell to sit on the ground. Her face was deathly pale, her body felt limp.
Damian smiled as he carried her up in his arms. “Wren, it’s over now, and we are standing on the ground. Isn’t it safe?”
Wrenna gradually calmed down in Damian’s embrace.
Then, she hugged Damian tightly and said, “Damian, that was fun. Let’s do it again someday.”
Damian did not say anything.
However, on the way back, Wrenna kept talking about how exciting the bungee jumping was.
“At that moment, it felt like we were facing a dangerous situation together, and it was us against the world. That feels so romantic. Damian, can we go bungee jumping again next time?”
Damian ignored her request.
Before they jumped, Wrenna asked the staff to take a video and some pictures for her and Damian.
Later, she posted the pictures on her social media.
There were many compliments and comments expressing admiration and envy.
That night, Wrenna had a video call with Clarissa.
“Wren, bungee jumping truly tests a couple’s relationship. Since you and Damian completed it, it meant that both of you love each other.”
Although what she said might not be true, Wrenna was still happy to hear it.
“Mom, don’t you and Dad love each other too? Does this mean that both of you went bungee jumping before?” Wrenna asked.
However, Clarissa sounded dissatisfied.
She glared at Matthew beside her and complained to Wrenna, “No way. When we got together, it was no longer possible to do such exciting activities. He was already quite old then. I had to consider his health, so I didn’t dare to go bungee jumping. Don’t you think that I have sacrificed so much fun for his sake?”
“Is that so?” Matthew’s ominous voice sounded beside her.
Clarissa said indignantly, “That’s right. Why? Do you have a problem with that? Don’t you know that you’re much older than me?”
Matthew couldn’t retort.
Clarissa assumed that she had won the argument and said to Wrenna happily, “Wren, you should do more exciting things while you and Damian are young. Damian is becoming more and more like his father, stiff and formal. That’s not maturity. He’s being boring and no fun at all.”
Wrenna could not help laughing. It turned out that even Damian’s mother thought that he was stiff and formal.
“Let me tell you…” Clarissa was eager to impart to Wrenna all her wisdom. She wanted to tell Wrenna all her regrets in her relationship with Matthew and the things that they missed out on, hoping that Wrenna would not miss out on them too.
If Matthew did not urge Clarissa to rest, she could keep talking the whole night.
After hanging up, Wrenna turned around and saw Damian sitting nearby with a speechless and exasperated expression.
Wrenna chuckled and said, “Damian, did you hear everything?”
How can I not hear it?
However, Damian appeared calm and said, “We should go to bed soon.”
Wrenna shook her head. “No, it’s still early. Damian, can we talk for a while?”
Damian wanted to refuse, but he remembered his mother said that he was older than Wrenna, and he behaved like an old man.
Therefore, he did not refuse to chat with her. He would never admit that he was behaving like an old man.
“What do you want to talk about?” he asked.
“When you were little, did you like to flirt with beautiful ladies? Mom said you kissed all the beautiful teachers and female students when you were in preschool. Is that true?”
Damian suddenly regretted agreeing to chat with her. “My mother remembered wrongly. We should rest early. Where do you want to go tomorrow? Do you want to try local delicacies? Why don’t you tell me what you want to eat tomorrow?”
Wrenna knew that Damian was deliberately switching the topic of their conversation. “Damian, I won’t laugh at you. Can you tell me?”
Wrenna moved closer and leaned against his embrace. She looked up at him with a curious expression. “Can you tell me why you like to kiss beautiful ladies? Also, what is your beauty standard? How did you convince those beautiful ladies to let you kiss them when you were little? Mom said that Leia tricked you many times when you were young. It seems like she’s very clever. Since you’re the elder brother, do you feel embarrassed?”
The conversation had turned into a personal interview.
Wrenna was so excited that she kept asking Damian questions.
