Chapter 458 Win Damian Over With Food
Wrenna had never expected Damian to pick her up after lessons personally. In fact, he arrived so early, as if he was actually looking forward to it.
Well, he probably isn’t that eager, right?
Well, he won’t be eager for anything related to me.
She was stunned for a while, assuming that Damian was free that day and was merely heading in the same direction.
“Okay, Damian. Wait for a while! I’ll be coming down soon. A lot of people have just ended lessons now. You can wait for me near the fountain…”
Damian laughed. “I’m not a child, Wren.”
“Okay, I’ll come down now.”
Excited, Wrenne hugged Xandra and beamed happily.
“Is Damian here?”
“Yeah! I’ll go off first. I’m sorry for leaving, Xandra. I can’t eat dinner with you tonight.”
After Xandra waved goodbye, Wrenna grabbed her bag and sprinted downstairs.
If she was not on a high floor, she would have just jumped out of the window directly. In that case, she would not have to squeeze in the stairway through such a huge crowd.
When Wrenna arrived downstairs, she immediately spotted where Damian was.
Other than his strong presence, the hordes of girls flocking around him gave him away.
Girls nowadays were very bold and enthusiastic.
They approached Damian directly and asked for his number without even feeling embarrassed.
When he revealed the wedding ring on his finger, some people took the hint and backed away.
However, some still persisted shamelessly.
Wrenna recognized that shameless girl as a student known as the prettiest girl in the school. She had a conflict with Wrenna because she liked Jayden in the past. Both even had a fight before.
“The others might believe you, but I don’t. The ring’s too new and although you look quite aloof, you must’ve been pestered by so many people that you came up with this excuse. A ring doesn’t mean much. Most importantly, I’m not like the other girls. I’m not here to pester you. Instead, I think that we can be friends…”
The girl smiled cunningly, thinking that she was the playful and witty sort who would make guys like her.
Meanwhile, Wrenna stood behind her. Initially, Damian had a cold and impatient attitude toward the girl. However, when he spotted Wrenna, an amused look crept into his gaze.
Yet, the girl thought that it was because Damian could not bear to act so coldly toward her.
“I’m…”
Before she could finish her sentence, Wrenna strode past her and walked toward Damian.
Hugging him, Wrenna kissed his lips boldly.
“You must’ve waited for a long time, Hubby.”
Damian knew that Wrenna was doing it on purpose out of jealousy.
“No. Let’s go home!”
Wrenna nodded obediently. When she brushed past the girl, who was still in shock and jealousy, she suddenly stopped.
“Hey, what did you say to my husband just now?”
The girl returned to her senses and gritted her teeth.
“Why are you everywhere, Wrenna? Didn’t you snatch Jayden away? Does he not like you anymore?” she demanded, trying to sow discord into their relationship.
Wrenna scoffed, “Don’t you know very well what happened between me and Jayden? My husband knows it too, so stop trying to sabotage our relationship. I’m warning you—we are legally married. You have absolutely no morals or principles to speak of. If you want to snatch men away, find someone else. If you get insulted one day, don’t blame me for not reminding you.”
After that, she made a face at the girl before dragging Damian away and leaving the crowd who was staring at them.
Wrenna did not care about people gossiping behind her back. Anyway, since Damian was her husband and she had already told others that she was married, it did not matter what others thought of her.
However, when both of them got into the car, Stella’s car quickly stopped in front of them, blocking their path.
Stella got out of the car and strode toward them. Upon seeing her, Wrenna felt a chill run down her spine.
Noticing her unpleasant expression, Damina held her hand.
“Are you okay, Wren? We’ll go home soon. Everything’s going to be fine.”
Damian knew how pressured Wrenna was by Stella.
She must be bothered by Stella.
Hence, when Stella arrived beside their car, Damian did not get out. Instead, he rolled down the car windows and demanded coldly, “Ms. Lane, please move your car away. We’d like to go home.”
Stella merely laughed. “I didn’t expect you to pick Wrenna up from school! You have such a great relationship.”
Shooting a glance at Wrenna’s expression, she continued, “Since your relationship is going so well, I’m sure that you’ll have kids soon, right?”
Wrenna’s face paled immediately when she saw the meaningful look in Stella’s eyes.
Having achieved her goal, she took a step backward. “I don’t mean to say anything else. I just want to greet both of you. Since you don’t like seeing me, I won’t stay here anymore. Goodbye!”
Stella left and moved her car away.
From behind, she laughed as she watched Damian and Wrenna’s car zoom past.
In the car, Wrenna remained silent. Her cheeks were still pale and she did not dare to look at Damian, afraid that he would notice something amiss.
On the other hand, Damian was already starting to feel suspicious.
However, it was not a good choice for him to ask Wrenna in the car. After returning home, he grabbed her hand before she could head upstairs.
“Wren, did Stella say something to you in private? Has she approached you?”
Wrenna shook her head immediately. “No. I just feel unhappy seeing her.”
Damian frowned. “Don’t hide anything from me, Wrenna. Just tell me if something happened. Don’t believe anything she tells you.”
“Okay. I’ll go upstairs to change my clothes first.”
Damian wanted to say something more. However, when he saw how determined Wrenna was to keep her silence, he gave up.
After releasing her, Damian felt frustrated and wanted to smoke a cigarette. Hence, he went out of the house and headed to the courtyard.
He lit a cigarette and fell into deep thought.
Wrenna’s mood improved significantly afterward. She called out to Damian, “Damian, what do you want to eat tonight? I’ll cook for you now.”
Turning around and extinguishing the cigarette, Damian laughed.
“You can cook whatever you want.”
Wrenna went to the kitchen with a smile. Cora said to her, “Mrs. Quigley, when you weren’t here, Mr. Quigley couldn’t sleep at all. When I woke up, I saw him smoking in the living room. Also, he barely even touched his breakfast. I’m sure that he must have missed both you and your cooking so much!”
“Really?”
Although Wrenna could barely believe it, she still felt happy.
No wonder Damian picked me up in school today! So, he really does miss me.
Wrenna forgot about her unhappiness from meeting Stella. Instead, she moved about swiftly in the kitchen and even hummed happily with a huge grin on her face.
Cora felt happy when she saw Wrenna’s change in attitude too.
Mrs. Quigley is a very simple-minded and innocent girl. As long as I say something nice, like how Damian misses her a lot, she’ll be happy.
I really wish that Mr. Quigley and Mrs. Quigley can be close, just like Mr. Tyson and Mrs. Tyson.
Hence, Cora would deliberately say things like these to pull the two together. It proved effective as well.
Clarissa had also secretly asked Cora to do that.
During dinner, Damian finally discovered that his taste buds had finally come to life.
He had never been a picky eater, so he always assumed that it did not matter what he ate.
However, he did not expect his taste buds to become so picky within such a short period of time because of Wrenna.
When he was young, Clarissa even called him a glutton because he ate everything. However, he was now very selective about what was delicious and what was not.
It was rare that Damian ate so much without any restraint for dinner.
He chuckled secretly. To avoid embarrassing himself, he took a stroll in the courtyard to digest his food.
Not knowing what was on his mind, Wrenna followed him.
“Damina, I heard from Cora that you really miss my cooking?”
Actually, Wrenna wanted to ask him if he missed her, but she was too embarrassed to ask him directly.
Damian admitted to it too.
“Yeah.”
“Haha!”
I knew it! To conquer a man’s heart, you must conquer his stomach first. If I appease Damian with food, he’ll miss me, right?
Wrenna thought that she was halfway to success.
It was obvious that her plan was on the right track. If she continued putting in effort into cooking, she would be able to win Damin over.
Hence, Wrenna was determined to grab this opportunity and work harder.
“I’ll leave you to your work, Damian. Let me think of what to cook tomorrow morning…”
With that, she went to prepare tomorrow’s meals excitedly.
She decided to learn all the cuisines from around the world and become a wife who could cook extremely well.
A painter, who is not a good cook, will not be a good wife!
Damian was stunned for a while before shaking his head and laughing.
He continued strolling to digest his food.
Just when he was about to return to the house, his phone rang.
It was a call from Stella.
Holding his phone, Damian fell silent for a while before picking the call up.
He had wanted to call Stella initially, but she approached him first instead.
“Hello?”
Stella chuckled. “Damian, you know that it’s me. It’s weirder that you’re putting up an act, okay?”
