You’ll Fall For Me, Today Or Tomorrow Chapter 446
Chapter 446 Resolute
After discovering the truth, Wrenna realized that she should not have taken so many wild guesses
about Damian’s health.
Then again, she was not sure if she should be happy or sad about it.
I guess it’s a piece of good news after all. It means that Damian is in the pink of health as there’s
nothing wrong with him. It’s better than being sick.
On the other hand, the information also implied that Damian had no desire for the woman that he had
note to love.
Wrenna smiled wryly at that thought.
That means I still need to work harder, right?
After returning from Zen Hignds, Wrenna went to bed without waiting for Damian for the first time
ever, nor did she wait for his goodnight hug.
Though Damian was a little taken aback, he did not give much thought to it.
She’s probably sleepy after a long and tiring day.
The next day, Wrenna had to go to school because she had been skipping too many lectures.
In fact, the dean called her up and was unswerving about this matter. Left with no choice, Wrenna had
to show up for sses.
As soon as she stepped foot into campus, she received many strange gazes. She could see that
people were talking about her despite not being able to hear their conversations. She was so sure that
they were all criticizing her. Feeling rather awful, she quickened her steps and darted toward the office.
Upon entering the small office, Wrenna gazed at that the gray-haired dean. He was the first lecturer
who was truly concerned about Wrenna when she entered university.
She had always felt uneasy being a rich student.
Back then, the deanplimented her after seeing theics she drew.
Facing the same dean who had been so kind to her, tears welled up in her eyes. A strong guilty
conscience washed her over, making her feel even more embarrassed about her recent actions.
Alfred remained calm and benign. He gestured for her to take a seat.
Anxiously, Wrenna sat down. Alfred looked at her and sighed. He did not reprimand her. Instead, he
apologized, “Sorry, Wrenna.”
“Huh?” She was astounded. Why did he say sorry?
“I apologized for what happened on the school forum. Admittedly, the university didn’t handle the
situation well and resulted in you bearing the brunt of thement. I should make an apology.”
Oh, it’s about this.
His sudden apology made Wrenna feel awkward. She sped her hands and exined, “Well, Mr.
Jones, this is not the school’s fault. You don’t have to say sorry to me. In fact, I should be the one to
offer an apology first. I…”
Her voice started to quiver. Biting her lips, she plucked up her courage and admitted, “I’ve skipped too
many sses. Punish me however you want, Mr. Jones. I have nothing to say about that.”N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive ? material.
Alfred looked at her. Then, he rose to his feet and sat beside her. “Wrenna, don’t you want to learn art
anymore? Are you considering quitting it all together? Or that you just don’t likeing to school and
face all these rumors?” His tone was serious.
At that moment, all that was brewing inside Wrenna was nothing but negativity.
Whenever she thought about school, she automatically rted it to Ste. She hated seeing her
around, especially her smug little smile, and how she always looked all high and mighty.
She loathed how everyone in school was gossiping about her behavior and actions.
She also disliked how one of her dorm mates doubted her. The friendship issue exasperated her.
Actually, all of these had nothing to do with her studies. She just did not like the environment she was
in.
Even so, Wrenna knew that shecked a courageous and positive attitude when approaching problems
as such. Hence, her first reaction was to run away from it, thinking that she could sleep on it, but the
problems were still unresolved. The only solution was for her to face them head-on.
“Mr. Jones, I… I want to keep drawing. Just that, I’m not the sharpest tool in the shed. Besides drawing,
I’m not interested in the lectures at all. In addition, they…” she faltered.
Alfred nodded, indicating that he understand where she wasing from.
“Since you want to continue studying here, then I’ll carry on the discussion with you instead of your
parents. After all, you’re an adult now. Right?”
“Yes.”
“Great. In that case, you shall attend sses today. I’ll give you a demerit for those you’ve missed. If
you don’t get sufficient credit hours by the end of the semester, you’ll have to resit the exams. This is a
final warning. Wrenna, if you fail, you’ll be retained. It won’t look good on you when that happens.”
Wrenna nodded. Just as she had expected, Alfred always meant business.
Right after that, he changed his expression swiftly.
He cast a fatherly gaze at her. “Wren, now that we’re done talking about official matters, let’s discuss
your personal issues. Most of us have more or less faced simr problems at some point in our lives.
We’ve all been hurt by people who don’t matter to us, all thanks to the advancement of technology.
Everyone can express their opinions on the Inte, anytime, anywhere, and there’s hardly any price
to pay. So, some be unscrupulous in their actions. On the contrary, the other parties who get hurt
have no way to defend themselves. Unfortunately, you’re in this quagmire now, but you chose to run
away from it. Although it’s not a bad way to deal with such matters, it’s not the best way either. Why do
you shun your problems? You haven’t done anything wrong. Even if you did, you’re ountable to
yourself and no one else. Regardless of what they say, it won’t change your perception of things,
right?”
That’s true. No matter what others say, I know what’s right and what’s wrong. I’m not affected. I’m
resolute to stand for what I believe in, what I love and hate.
Alfred added, “You’re still young. That’s why you care a lot about what people say about you. I think I’ve
said too much. It may not help, but once you experience it yourself, you’ll realize the idea behind it. My
advice to you now is to go all out for what your heart desires, and do whatever you put your mind to it.”
Wrenna was so touched to hear Alfred’s encouraging words. Teary, she looked at him sheepishly.
“I’m sorry, Mr. Jones.”
“Your fault is that you yed truant. Other than that, I’ll leave it to your own judgment.”
“Okay, I understand now.”
Alfred smiled. Then, he returned to his desk and put up his usual front as a lecturer.
“Right, now that everything is solved, I have a request. I have a student, who’s actually a few years
your senior. He owns a publishing firm and is urgently looking for an artist. I’ve seen your work, so are
you interested in giving it a try? Though you major in traditional painting, I see that youck interest in
it. On the contrary, you seem to enjoy drawingics. I’ll pass you his contact number, and you can
call him up.”
“Thanks, Mrs. Jones, I’ll think about it.”
It was a good day after all for Wrenna.
Mr. Jones is the world’s best lecturer!
Shortly after she left the office, Alfred chuckled while shaking his head.
He made a phone call. “I’ve spoken to the girl. Rest assured that everything’s fine now. Haha… With
your extensive intervention, I don’t dare to expel her, do I? Haha… Just kidding. This matter is now
resolved. Don’t you worry…”
Indeed, Damian was on the other end of the line.
It was impossible for him not to know that Wrenna had been skipping sses. At first, he was not
bothered since she had done it before.
When she did it consistently, and her mood turned bad quite frequently, Damian could sense that
something was off.
Therefore, he investigated it and found out that Wrenna met Ste in school.
He also discovered that she was the victim of cyberbullying.
He did not know how to console her despite wanting to encourage her to attend sses. Hence, he
asked Alfred for a favor to convince Wrenna to go back to campus. Most essentially, he did not want to
see her hating school.
As for the job at the publishing firm, it was not arranged by Damian. He had no idea about it. It was
rmended by Alfred.
When Wrenna went back to the dorm, Dora was the only one present.
She was on the phone when Wrenna walked into the room.
Feeling shocked and awkward at the same time, Dora quickly hung up. At that instant, the was pin-drop
silence in the dorm.
Just when Wrenna wanted to speak, Dora interrupted her, “Sorry, Wren.”
“Um… I should be the one to say sorry.”
Both of them offered each other an overdue apology. Subsequently, they exchanged nces and burst
intoughter.
Girls and their shenanigans.
Eventually, they felt morefortable with each other as they started chatting.
“Wren, I’m sorry for making you upset. In the future, I won’t attend Ms. Lane’s lecture anymore.
Actually, she’s not that great. I’ve now fixed my eyes on another goddess. She’s an incredible
woman…”
“Dora, I shouldn’t have put the me on you. Ste’s character and her lectures are two separate
things altogether. If you like it, go ahead, and continue attending her sses as long as you don’t get
brainwashed by her.”
“Haha… I won’t. You’re my best friend. Ms. Lane is just a brilliant woman. Anyhow, there are many
people like her and they are all wonder women. If she’s like what you’ve described, I’ll switch from a
die-hard fan to a hater. After all, I trust you.”
“Thank you.”
The two of them gave each other a tight hug. At that moment, Wrenna’s world brightened up
again. Apart from the goodness of Damian, the world is wonderful too.
That day, Wrenna was in an extremely good mood. She treated all of her dorm mates to a sumptuous
meal.
There was a sparkle in Dora’s eyes. As a foodie, she looked forward to tasting an array of delicious
food with Wrenna. She especially loved a treat to the restaurant at the luxurious hotel, which the girls
could never afford.
“Wren, I want to marry you. Really… I must marry you,” Dora expressed her adoration while digging in.
Wrennaughed boisterously. “I’m straight. Okay? Don’t you know that?”
“Oh, it’s fine. I’ll just love you discreetly.”
The group of friends chortled at that remark.
“I think what you love is the mouth-watering food that I’m treating you, right?” Wrenna shot a nce at
Dora.
The next moment, she raised her hand to call for a waiter. She wanted to add more dishes so that Dora
can stuff herself to her heart’s content.
As she scanned around for the waiter, she saw two familiar figures. It was Ste and Damian.
