You’ll Fall For Me, Today Or Tomorrow Chapter 472

Chapter 472 Unrequited Love

Wrenna walked out from the library and noticed all the anime and manga clubs that had stalls lined up under the shade of the tree. There were even a bunch of cosplayers dressed to the nines.

She used to enjoy anime and manga a fair bit back then, so she had her own little manga ideas that she would actually draw. However, it didn’t finish and was left halfway.

She wasn’t even sure if she could have kept it up after transferring to the Department of Economics.

“Hi! There’ll be an anime music festival this Friday night. Feel free to join!”

A flyer was shoved into Wrenna’s hand and she gave it a once over before smiling at the student who had talked to her. “Sure thing.”

“Thank you!”

The student ran off to shove flyers at other people while Wrenna walked back to her dorm room.

She passed the flyer to Dora. “Wanna go?”

“Are you free now?” The other girls looked at each other in shock.

Wrenna chuckled. “I need a break too, after all. Xandra, let us all go.”

“Of course!”

Wrenna smiled at Xandra’s agreement, but the other members of their dorm room were still looking at Wrenna strangely.

She was really going through a lot of mood swings. They thought she had the time to relax for a while back then, but she was acting crazy again and would stay up until the wee hours of the morning on her own.

Now that she has invited us to go to the music festival, could she be in a better mood?

They glanced at each other and Dora finally popped the question.

“Wrenna, how have you and Damian been recently?”

Wrenna looked up and smiled mildly, her expression devoid of any of the excitement she used to have whenever she talked about Damian.

“We’re doing fine.”

Fine?

Even your attitude is totally off!

Dora could already sense it and she glanced at Xandra, who just shook her head subtly.

“That’s great! I heard that Stella got a boyfriend recently. She hasn’t been bothering you anymore, has she?”

“Nope. She’s not going to cause any more problems between Damian and I anymore.”

“Really?”

“Yeah, don’t worry. We’re really doing well.”

“Ah, I see. I’m glad to hear that.”

Dora stayed quiet and sat down while the others started communicating through frowns and raised eyebrows, leaving the whole room completely silent.

On the inside, Dora was extremely panicked.

Good? What’s good about all this?

Wrenna seemed to have changed far too much. At first, she had been full of hope and admiration for Damian. Now, the sweet Wrenna from before had changed and she had become completely calm, even a bit eerily unruffled when talking about him. Her smile was no longer as bright as it once was and her voice tone was no longer happy.

What happened to her?

Does studying really change someone that much?

Dora simply didn’t buy Wrenna’s story.

After Wrenna went to the library that afternoon, Dora held an impromptu meeting with the other two.

“Xandra, you know Wrenna the best. What happened to her? She really is acting way too different than normal. She can’t have gone crazy from all the studying, right?”

Xandra shook her head. “I don’t know.”

Linda said, “Hasn’t she just become more mature? It’s not like she’ll be the same innocent girl forever after being married to him for some time. Maybe it’s the marriage that has made her more mature.”

“That’s complete bull! Haven’t you heard that a woman in a happy marriage will only become more and more innocent and immature because her husband loves her so much? On the contrary, Wrenna is so mature now. She even smiles less. She’s probably not happy at all.”

Dora was starting to make a lot of sense, and her worried expression caused the other two to feel anxious as well.

“Should we ask her later? We can’t let her worry about everything on her own, can we? What if she gets depression from everything that is going on?”

“Don’t say that.” Xandra didn’t like making such speculations.

“Asking will be useless. She used to tell us everything, but now, she has learned to hide her emotions. We won’t get any answers. If she wanted to tell us, we would have known by now. Besides, we shouldn’t pry too much into her marriage life. Maybe she just never wanted us to know in the first place.”

It wasn’t unheard of for people to wish to hide their negative sides from people around them.

If she really was unhappy, she would feel even worse if they kept pestering her.

Xandra seemed calm on the surface, but she was worried as well. She just knew that Wrenna would already have found someone to rant to if she really needed it. It might not be them, and it might not happen right now, but there was always going to be a right time and a right place for it.

All they could do for now was wait.

Wrenna, on the other hand, had no idea how much the others were worried for her.

She was currently in the library and had just seen Jayden being all lovey-dovey with a random pretty girl next to him. They even kissed once in a while since they were being blocked behind the shelves.

Wrenna acted as if she hadn’t seen them and focused on looking for the books she needed, completely unruffled.

However, the moment Jayden saw her, he quickly let go of the girl next to him.

The girl in question glared at Wrenna, clearly full of ill intent toward her.

“Wren, you-”

Only then did Wrenna look up.

“Huh? Oh, please continue. I didn’t see a thing.”

She picked out her books and was about to leave when Jayden suddenly chased after her.

“Wren, we should talk.”

“I don’t think you should leave your girlfriend like that, right?”

Jayden looked back to see his girlfriend staring daggers at them, her reddened eyes looked pitiful and angry.

He turned back to tell his girlfriend something and kissed her on the cheek before catching up to Wrenna again. C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

Since they wanted to talk, they went somewhere more secluded.

Wrenna sat down and started flipping through her books while Jayden stayed silent the whole time.

Confused, she asked, “Aren’t you going to say something? What is it? I’m quite pressed for time, so you should get it over with.”

He seemed conflicted but eventually opened his mouth. “I’m sorry, Wren.”

“Huh? What for?”

Jayden paused in surprise before chuckling self-deprecatingly.

He was no longer apologetic, just helpless and full of self-hatred.

“Never mind. I don’t think we have anything to talk about. You clearly don’t even care that I changed my mind so quickly. You probably already knew that I was with someone else for a long time, but you just didn’t care, right?”

Wrenna looked at Jayden seriously.

“Jayden, I don’t care that you dated someone else. No one loves someone forever. That’s not realistic and I know that. It’s just like how you continued to like me even though I never liked you back. One day, I’ll feel the same unrequited love you had for me. Everyone goes through those things, which is why I never cared in the first place. However, I do suggest that you take promises more seriously unless you enjoy apologizing to the other person if this happens again.”

Jayden fell silent and still smiled after Wrenna’s words.

“You’re right. I won’t make promises so easily next time. That’s why I’m apologizing to you right now.”

“Okay, apology accepted. You should go back. I don’t want your girlfriend to start getting mad at me.”

He was about to turn around when he suddenly looked back and said, “To be honest, after knowing who you were in love with, I knew I couldn’t measure up to him. I hope you two stay happy.”

“Thank you.”

Wrenna smiled a smile that never reached her eyes.

After Jayden left, she continued sitting there staring blankly at the book that she no longer needed.

Then, she started chuckling.

That was just how human beings were. No one could love one person forever, and no one was truly destined to fall in love with anyone else.

Love truly couldn’t be dictated.

After sitting down for a while, she stood up to leave and bumped into Stella right outside the section she was sitting in.

She paused, not knowing how much Stella had overheard and how long she had been standing there.

Stella just smirked at Wrenna mockingly.

“Unrequited love? I guess you’re finally getting what you deserve, huh?”

Wrenna just smiled unabashedly.

“Good afternoon, Ms. Lane.”

She was about to leave, but Stella wasn’t about to let her go so easily.

She blocked Wrenna’s way and continued smirking at her.

“Just look at you, Wrenna. You’re all frumpy and dumpy now. I thought you were all fired up at me. You told me you are the one and only Mrs. Quigley and will always be Mrs. Quigley. You can have him! I don’t want to waste my life on a man without emotions like Damian. You finally know how it feels to keep giving and never get anything in return, right? Hahaha! I bet tons of people would love to be you, Mrs. Quigley, but I’ll always be the real winner here. At least Damian truly loved me once. As for you? Hahaha! I bet your love will stay unrequited for the rest of your life!”

Wrenna frowned before she answered, “Yeah, probably.”

She wasn’t angry or sad. She didn’t even have the energy to talk back to Stella. She just calmly walked past her and walked back into the library.

All Wrenna had time for now was studying.

Stella watched Wrenna leave with a cold smile on her face before she turned to leave.

Damian’s just another man after all. What’s there to quarrel over? I can find much better men with much better futures, so why do I have to waste my time with an ice block like him?

I was really too foolish then. I’ll leave a tough nut like Damian to Wrenna instead. While she’s crying over that mess of a man, I’ll be off looking for even richer people so I can live a better life than she can ever imagine.
