Chapter 441 Asserting Her Position
The look of curiosity in her eyes made him feel a lot better, and he made no attempts to beat around the bush with his reply.
“Ms. Lane, what we used to be in the past is no longer relevant. I’m married now, so please do not contact me again about anything that isn’t work-related.”
He then hung up the phone before Stella could respond.
Wrenna was concerned when she heard him mention Stella’s name, but quickly smiled when he rejected her.
“Ms. Lane and I are not in contact outside of work. She may have called me all of a sudden today, but I’m not going to meet her. Like I have said, I’m married and have nothing to do with her anymore,” Damian explained when he saw her smiling at him.
Unable to contain her happiness, Wrenna got up and threw herself in his arms as she said, “I believe you, Damian. Oh, I like you so much!”
Damian chuckled and gave her a pat on the head. “All right, I like you too, Wren.”
That doesn’t sound like the kind of affection I was hoping for, but it’s okay! I’m in no rush! I’ll just take my time and slowly get him to like me! He’ll stop seeing me as a sister sooner or later!
With that in mind, Wrenna said, “Come on, let’s go and have lunch! Or would you rather have it with me in your office? Oh, this reminds me… There’s a staff cafeteria here, right? How about we have lunch there instead?”
By appearing next to Damian publicly in the office, Wrenna would be able to declare her title as his wife.
Clarissa had taught her the importance of establishing dominance and asserting her position to ward off those women planning on stealing him.
Even if everyone knew they were married, the only way to guarantee peace was by making the prospect of war seem hopeless, and that was exactly what she had in mind.
Oblivious to her intentions, Damian said, “Sure, we can have lunch at the cafeteria if you’d like.”
“Okay, let’s go! Mom told me the food there is pretty good!”
Damian nodded in response and led her downstairs with her hand in his.
The two of them received all sorts of looks the moment they entered the cafeteria, and Wrenna greeted them while clinging tightly to Damian’s arm.
Having shown how intimate they were with each other, the two of them ordered their food and ate in a private room upstairs. Wrenna was feeling terrible because of the drama with Jayden at first, but she had such a great time during lunch that she completely forgot about it.
Life sure is great… As long as I have Damian by my side, every day is a great day!
Instead of returning to campus after lunch, Wrenna went to take a nap in Damian’s break room.
Clutching the blanket tightly, she sniffed it and went into a state of euphoria when she noticed it had Damian’s scent.
Unable to fall asleep due to the overwhelming excitement, Wrenna decided to get up and take a look around the break room.
Because of how quiet it was outside, she tried to be as silent as possible while exploring every corner of it. Eventually, she opened the closet and saw Damian’s spare clothes. The next thing she knew, she was hugging and rubbing her cheek against it with a silly grin on her face.
After what seemed like an eternity, Wrenna fell asleep on the bed while hugging one of Damian’s shirts.
She was woken up by a loud noise later on and got out of bed to investigate with the shirt in hand.
Wrenna made her way to the door and opened it by a crack, only to see Burnham yelling angrily, “I can’t believe how petty and heartless you are, Damian! It’s been so many years, and you’re still hating Stella for betraying you? These are modern times, and women have the right to pursue their dreams if they want to! What’s so wrong with her furthering her studies abroad? Did you seriously expect her to just marry you upon graduation? If so, then I’m f*cking glad she chose to leave you! Otherwise, her talents would’ve been held back by having a family with a narrow-minded a*shole like you! You don’t deserve her love!”
Wrenna could tell that he was being very defensive of Stella, but she was more concerned about how Damian felt about the whole situation.
The two of them had broken up because Stella furthered her studies abroad, but everyone knew Damian still loved her.
After all, they loved each other so much that Damian refused to leave her even though Clarissa strongly objected to their relationship.
Of course, Wrenna was devastated when she found out about that.
Damian and Stella’s relationship was very much similar to that of Clarissa and Matthew’s, except for the part where it ended when Stella went overseas.
Everyone thought Damian would wait for Stella to return, but he ended up marrying Wrenna instead.
Even Wrenna herself had no idea why he chose to marry her, and that contributed to her lack of faith and confidence in their marriage.
She was afraid of what would happen if Stella were to suddenly return, and the fact that Damian’s best friend Burnham took Stella’s side wasn’t helping.
Regardless, Wrenna chose not to step up just yet as she wanted to see how Damian truly felt about seeing Stella.
“Staying silent isn’t going to get you out of this, Damian! Stella is waiting for you at the same place you two used to date, and I’m taking you there!”
“I’m married, Burnham! How many times do I have to emphasize that fact, huh?” Damian sounded cold and unfazed.
“I can tell you don’t love Wrenna! She’s innocent, Damian! What you’re doing will only end up hurting both of them! As a man, I suggest you break it off before it’s too late. If you love Stella, then let go of the past and get back with her. Damian, you shouldn’t be marrying Wren just because your mother likes her. This is your marriage, not hers! First, you break up with Stella because your mother objected to your relationship, and now you married Wrenna because she likes her? You are really an idiot!”
Damian kept quiet as if he was admitting to Burnham’s accusations, much to Wrenna’s dismay.
Her heart ached like someone was squeezing it with an iron grip, and she tensed up so much that her knuckles had gone white.
She didn’t even realize her lips were almost bleeding from how hard she bit down on them.
“I’m not going, Burnham,” Damian said after a long pause.
“Y-You…You b*stard!” Burnham lost his temper and grabbed him by the collar.
Noticing that things were getting out of hand, Wrenna quickly came out of hiding to help pry him off Damian.
“Let go of Damian, you are the b*stard! Let go! Let go of him!”
She bit down on Burnham’s arm, clawed at him, and even kicked him on the shin out of desperation.
Unable to withstand her assault, Burnham had no choice but to let go so that he could shove her off. Due to her tiny figure, Wrenna lost her balance and would’ve fallen to the floor had Damian not caught her in time.
Even so, that did not stop Wrenna from continuing to assault Burnham verbally.
“Burnham, you b*stard! How dare you lay a finger on Damian? Why don’t you go marry Stella if you like her so much? Oh, that’s right! You’re not a man! That’s why you’re here picking a fight with Damian instead!”
“You’re crazy, Wrenna!”
This girl is so blinded by her love for Damian that she doesn’t even realize she’s a victim too!
“I’m not crazy! I love Damian, and you can’t do anything about it! Besides, we’re married, and you’re helping a homewrecker destroy our marriage! Just how shameless can you get?”
“Y-Y-You… Forget it, I have nothing to say to someone as pitiful as you!”
Feeling a little guilty from Wrenna’s accusations, Burnham decided to not say anything further.
“Heh, you’re the pitiful one! I’m living the life of my dreams while you’re trying to act all high and mighty defending Stella’s love because you couldn’t be with her!”
“I never liked Stella that way! We’re just friends!”
“Yeah, sure! Like anyone would believe that!”
“Mind putting a leash on this b*tch, Damian? Look how crazy she is! I knew she was just pretending to be all innocent the whole time!”
Unable to beat Wrenna in an argument, Burnham decided to shift his focus toward Damian instead.
However, that proved to be futile as Damian was never going to take his side to begin with.
“She’s my wife, so her words are as good as mine. You have no right to say the things you’ve said, Burnham. There are a lot of things that you don’t know about, so I’ll pretend I didn’t hear any of that. Do not lecture me on behalf of someone else ever again if you care about this friendship of ours.” Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
Burnham was disappointed at what he got in return for his good intentions, but there was nothing he could say in response to Damian’s words.
