You’ll Fall For Me, Today Or Tomorrow Chapter 431


    Chapter 431 I Am Married


    Damian need not say a word. His stare was enough to put Burnham in ce.


    “Damian, she’s already gotten over it. It’s true that she was sad after you got married, but she still


    hopes both of you can stay as friends. We all know how close both of you were. It really doesn’t matter


    what happened between the two of you. You guys can still remain as friends.”


    Damian did not reply but read the documents in his hand. Hepletely ignored Burnham and the


    latter had no idea what Damian was thinking at all.


    “Come on, man. You know how difficult her life was in the past few years, so just go easy on her. You


    should just meet up with her and talk things out. You can’t avoid her forever, right? I don’t see why you


    should give her the cold treatment unless you still have feelings for her.”


    Damian finally put down the document and looked at Burnham.


    “I really don’t understand, Damian. If you still like Ste, why did you marry Wrenna?”


    “Burnham Stewart, don’t put words in my mouth.”


    “Fine, I’m sorry. We’re meeting up at the same ce tonight. I’ll take it as you still like her if you don’t


    join us. If that’s the case, you should just get a divorce sooner.”


    With that said, Burnham left.


    Burnham wiped his sweaty palms and heaved a sigh of relief right after he got out.


    Those people really owe me a big one for making me do this.


    I swear I’ll never do this again.


    Burnham went to the club early that evening. This was where this group of friends usually met. They


    even had a private lounge to themselves.


    When he arrived, Colton was already there.


    “What is it this time?” he asked Colton, “Don’t you give me this look. I’ve already had enough in the


    morning. You guys should stop making me talk to Damian about things like that.”


    It was not difficult to tell Colton Jennings apart from his peers. He had a chiseled jaw and well-defined


    features, and he could easily pass for a multiracial person if people had not heard him speak.


    “I didn’t ask you to do it.”


    “Yeah, I know, but still. I can’t just sit and watch our friend suffer alone.”


    Colton snorted at him.

    “Ste is not our friend. She’s your…”


    “Are you serious? She’s not your friend? Don’t tell me you think it’s her fault too. I would go abroad as


    well if I were her.”


    Colton smirked with his brows raised and said no more.


    Burnham felt like he was being ridiculed, so he just scoffed and turned away.


    It did not take long before Damian and Ste arrived.


    “Oh, you guys came together?” Burnham teased.


    When he saw Damian’s stern face, he instantly stopped and talked to Ste instead.


    “Hi, Ste. It’s been a long time. You’re just as pretty as ever. I think it’s good you went overseas


    though. Look at you now. The world is your oyster and you’re all equipped with what it takes to be


    sessful. It’s way better than just depending on a man.”


    Ste got into a huge fight with Damian when she decided to go abroad and they broke up because of


    that.


    Burnham was all for Ste on this issue. To him, a man should not be so selfish as to demand his


    partner to stay with him wherever he was. Given Ste’s talent, it would be a total waste to not study


    abroad. He could not wrap his head around why Damian insisted on her staying, so much so that he


    even broke up with her.


    Now that Ste became sessful, she looked so much more confidentpared to Wrenna, who


    was too timid.


    Burnham preferred Ste over Wrenna. He thought Ste was a better choice for Damian because


    Wrenna’s whole life revolved around Damian and only him. Nevertheless, Damian had already married


    Wrenna regardless of how she felt.


    Burnham was sure that Damian’s marriage would be the biggest regret for both Damian and Ste.


    “Thanks, Burnham. You’re not bad yourself either. You’re a doctor now,” Ste said, smiling at him.


    Burnham smiled back and gestured at her to go over to sit down beside him.


    “I know right. I’m a sessful doctor now, but you know what. Someone totally has no regard for me.


    They think I’m just a nobody, but hell, Ie from a family of doctors. Just wait till they have to beg me


    to treat them,” Burnhamined, stealing a look at Colton and Damian, but the two did not seem


    perturbed at all.


    They sat next to each other and started talking about a totally different topic.


    “I agree with what you said. People seem to favor the new policy, so I think that’s good.”


    “Yeah, I think that was a smart move from him.”


    Ste sneaked a peep at Damian and got mesmerized.


    He looked different from when they parted ways. He was not a young boy anymore. Those years they


    spent apart had added a hint of elegance and maturity to his bearing.


    He had be a luminary in his sphere and she had heard of all his feats. To Ste, he had be a


    more enigmatic and attractive man.


    Ste never once regretted her choice of leaving him, but now that she saw him again, a small voice in


    her heart told her that she just lost the most important thing in her life.


    She wondered if she could ever get it back.


    “Congrats on your marriage.”


    Ste decided to break the ice.


    “Thanks,” Damian replied tritely.


    Ste did not know how else to continue the conversation given his cold attitude.


    “Ms. Jackson is a lucky woman. I remember she used to follow us around when we were younger,


    saying she wants to marry you. I was so jealous back then. She didn’t like me either. She even tried


    making things difficult for me a few times. Now that I think of it, we’re all so childish back then.”


    “Wren did that to you? She looks so innocent though, but regardless, everybody knows she likes


    Damian. It’s only natural that she doesn’t like you.”


    “Oh, really? What did Wren do to you?” Colton was shrewd.


    Ste evaded his question with a smile. “It’s no big deal. It’s all in the past. She was still a kid.”


    Despite how Ste was hoping to dismiss Colton’s question, Damian refused to let her sweep things


    under the carpet. He shook off the ashes on his cigarette and spoke, “Tell me what my wife did to you,


    Ms. Lane. It’s better to just bring things to the light so I can go home and ask my wife to apologize to


    you if there’s a need.”


    Ste was caught in a tight spot. Tears welled up in her eyes.


    “Damian… do you have to do this to me?”


    He gave her aposed smile. “I’m just asking you a question, Ms. Lane, or did Wren not do anything


    to you, to begin with? From what I know, she is a forthright and sincere person although she came from


    an affluent family. It’s just not her style to do anything underhanded. I’m sure you remember wrongly.”


    “Fine. I’m sorry I made things up. She’s perfect. I shouldn’t have tarnished her good name.”


    Ste started crying. “I know Wrenna is always perfect in your eyes. I’m always the bad person. She’s


    the one who snatched you away from me. She’s the one who has everything now, and I’m the only one


    that’s suffering. Can’t you at least be nice to me? Do you have to torture me like this?”


    “Damian, you went overboard.”


    Burnham was quick to defend Ste. “There’s no reason why she should make up something that


    happened years ago. Wren can be rude sometimes. How do you know if…”


    “Burnham Steward. Watch what you’re saying. She’s my wife,” Damian cut him short.


    “So you really think I lied to smear her reputation?”


    Ste looked up at Damian with tears running down her eyes.


    “You can ask Ms. Jackson yourself and see if I was lying.”


    Damian stood up and got ready to leave.


    “You know full well if you’re lying. I’m leaving. Our rtionship has already ended nine years ago. I’m a


    married man now. I don’t think it’s appropriate for me to meet another woman outside.”


    Having said that, Damian picked up his coat and left without turning back.


    Colton also got up and went out with him, leaving Burnham and Ste behind.


    “Hey! You guys can’t do this!” Burnham shouted.


    Colton looked back coldly at him. “You’d better know who you’re siding with and who are your real


    friends.”


    Burnham did not know if he should leave.


    Ste was balling her eyes out crying like a baby.


    Burnham wondered what he did to be caught in a situation like this. He never had to choose between


    friends and women.


    This was way trickier than the mostplicated sickness he had ever face.


    “Um… Ste… Don’t cry. Damian’s already married, so you should just give up. You’re smart and


    pretty. I’m sure you’ll meet someone better. First loves are not meant tost. Just be grateful he is part


    of your memory, okay? Things won’t always go our way, so we have to learn to ept them.”


    Burnham’s words fell on deaf ears.


    Ste was still crying and he had no other choice but to stay back.


    When she finally collected herself, her eyes were already puffy and red.


    She shot Burnham a rigid smile. “I’m sorry I put you in a difficult position. I shouldn’t have let my


    emotions get the best of me.”


    “It’s okay. I understand.”


    “Thanks. Let’s go.”


    When Burnham dropped her off at her home, he decided to just add on to what he said earlier on.


    “Ste, it’s time you get over Damian. You’ll find someone else in the future.”


    Ste forced a smile at him and went into her apartment.


    Behind her, Burnham shook his head in resignation and drove off.


    Back at her apartment, Ste sat alone in her empty house and poured herself a ss of red wine as


    she pondered about her life.


    She had always wanted a life like this in the past, but now that she got it, she felt like she had attained


    all the sess at the price of something she loved the most.
