You’ll Fall For Me, Today Or Tomorrow Chapter 471
Chapter 471 Loveless
The Stewart family only heard about Burnham and Ste from someone else.
Before they asked Burnham about it, they had already done a thorough investigation on Ste.
They had found out everything about her and Damian, including why rissa had been so against
Ste dating Damian in the first ce.
When Burnham reached home, his family remained silent and tossed the sheaf of documents at him.
“This is impossible!” he cried out, refusing to believe the information on the documents.
Ste slept with old men for money and was even vited by her stepfather once. She had also
suffered a miscarriage before.
His dad remained silent and let his wife do all the talking.
She turned toward her son with a gleam in her intelligent eyes.
“I’m not as indirect as Mrs. Tyson. I’m much too afraid of letting you get hurt. That’s why I’ll be as
straightforward as possible, and it’s also why we want you to know the truth. You know how urate
our investigations always are.”
“This is impossible, Mom. Ste isn’t like that.”
She just scoffed coldly, choosing not to answer to her son’s ignorance.
Instead, she asked a different question.
“What kind of person do you think your Aunt rissa is?”
“She’s gentle and kind-”
“Apart from those. Do you think she has the same upbringing as we did?”
“No, but Ste-”
Before he could speak, she cut him off again.
“Mrs. Tyson only bloomed in herter years, so of course, she wouldn’t have the same upbringing we
did. But even someone like her was against Damian and Ste dating. Do you think it’s purely because
she hated Ste’s family? You may not know this, but Mrs. Tyson herself didn’te from a good
family. So that wasn’t the reason at all.”
“But-”
“You don’t have to argue with me. You’re my son, and I know both your strengths and your
weaknesses. You’re too gullible and I know Ste must have told you plenty of nice things, but these
facts are in ck and white. I know you won’t suspect us of anything otherwise.”
Burnham was truly stunned speechless, and his mother finished her talk with ast warning.
“I don’t care if you’re just ying around with her, but don’t bring her home. Don’t even think about
marrying someone like her. Your father and I will not touch upon this anymore, but I trust that you
understand well enough.”
Burnham remained quiet.
His mother smiled. “Oh, a friendly reminder. You should protect yourself well, especially as a doctor.
Who knows what kind of men she’s been sleeping around with.”
After that, she turned around and walked upstairs.
Burnham stayed in the living room, staring nkly at the documents in front of him as he fell into a
dilemma.
Wrenna and Damian visited the Tyson residence for dinner and heard Ellie saying something to
rissa the moment they walked in. While their conversation was mostly unreadable, they did hear the
name ‘Ste’.
Ellie immediately changed the topic once she caught sight of the couple.
Wrenna, however, didn’t think too much of it.
She sat down and smiled. “Were you two talking about Ste? It’s alright, I know she’s dating Burnham
now.”
Everyone was taken aback by her words, even Damian.
She shrugged. “What’s wrong? I just happened to bump into him picking her up from school one day.
He told me himself.”
Since Wrenna didn’t seem affected at all, Ellie didn’t feel the need to be all secretive about it.
“We were just talking about how the Stewart family was against her dating Burnham.”
Wrenna thought this was strange, but she didn’t press any further.
In terms of family background, the Stewarts definitely had higher requirementspared to rissa.
She seemed to know what Wrenna was thinking, so she nced at Damian and he shook his head.
rissa frowned slightly before rushing to exin. “Wren, it’s not actually all about the Stewarts’
prejudices. Of course, they might have certain existing impressions, but it’s not all about that. After all,
Ste is also an exceptionaldy. If they were purely basing it off of her education and abilities, they
would have no issue with her marrying Burnham. They probably heard about Ste’s real personality.
That was also why I was against her from the very beginning.”
Wrenna widened her eyes. She hadn’t imagined that there could be even more to this story.
rissa started nagging Damian before she continued exining to Wrenna.
“Damian! I told you to tell Wrenna everything. Why doesn’t she have a clue about all this?”
“It’s okay, Mom, I’ve been really busy recently-”
“You don’t have to cover up for him, Wren. Whatever it is, he is at fault. Let me tell you everything.
Ste did a lot of unspeakable things back then. In fact…”
rissa told Wrenna everything that had happened with Ste, including every nitty-gritty detail.
Wrenna was in shock after hearing everything.
She nced at Damian, unsure about how he would feel about all this.
Is he sad or disappointed?
“Don’t worry, he knew all along. We didn’t even know he knew everything until recently, when in fact he
knew since before Ste left to go overseas. That was why I told him off. He knew everything, and yet
he let us worry so much. He also never felt anything toward Ste, but because he got tricked into
dating her, he couldn’t let go of his pride to admit that he’d been tricked and didn’t say anything.”
Wrenna looked at Damian, who was quiet and looked embarrassment.
“What is it, Wren?”
She fell silent and shook her head.
Despite that, she didn’t feel happy or anything else.
All she said was, “That’s pretty wicked of her.”
That was all. It was probably the most neutral statement one could actually say after being told such a
thing.
rissa felt like something was off, but she couldn’t put a finger on it.
If a woman heard that her rival in romance was actually a bad person all along and that their love
interest knew since the start, she should be ecstatic.
But Wrenna’s reaction was way too calm.
rissa wanted to ask something, but she decided against it.
Ellie nced at her, clearly thinking the same thing.
But now wasn’t the time to talk about such things.
Damian had the same suspicions when he was going home with Wrenna.
Rather than suspicions, it was more a sense of dissonance between how he had expected Wrenna to
respond and her actual response.
Wrenna just stayed silent the whole way home.
Her calm demeanor freaked Damian out even more once they reached home.
“Wren?”
He reached out to hold her wrist gently and she turned back to look at Damian, nonplussed.
“What is it?”
“You- aren’t you…”
He trailed off, meaning to ask, ”Aren’t you happy?”
But that didn’t seem appropriate.
All he could do was apologize. “I’m sorry for not telling you earlier, Wren. I should have told you about
Ste long ago.”
“It’s fine. You shouldn’t feel obligated to tell me either, Damian. After all, it really doesn’t have anything
to do with me, and besides, it’s all in the past.”
“But-”
“I know where you’reing from. I’m surprised to know that Ste is someone like that, and I’m d
you could see through her lies from the very beginning. At least she won’t try to fool you or me from
now on.”
“Yeah.”
Wrenna turned to walk upstairs, and Damian didn’t stop her this time.
However, he had a strange feeling that things were slowly spiraling out of control.
As for Wrenna, she genuinely wasn’t especially overjoyed about learning this.
If she had known before their marriage, she would have been jumping with joy. She’d be ecstatic that
Damian didn’t like Ste at all and Wrenna actually had more of a chance than Ste of marrying
Damian. She no longer had to be afraid of that wicked woman ruining her marriage.
However, that didn’t happen.
Wrenna wasn’t happy or overjoyed, or even thankful.
On the contrary, she was more sober than ever.
She now knew that Damian not loving her didn’t have anything to do with anyone else, not even Ste.
He simply didn’t love her, and that was that.
Wrenna chuckled self-deprecatingly.
After zoning out on her bed for a while, she finally had enough ofughing at herself and went to wash
up in the bathroom. She went to study, and after she was tired, she finally went to bed.
……
Burnham didn’t ask Ste whether she had done all those things.
He was having a pretty hard time too. He didn’t have anyone he could talk to, so he settled on having a
drink with Colton.
Colton listened to Burnham ranting with a calm look on his face.
“I don’t get it. How could someone as good as Ste do all those things? Even if she was broke all
those years ago, she could have just told us. Wait, no- she only met Damian because she nned
everything out, and she wouldn’t have met us otherwise. But that’s not the truth, is it? She couldn’t
have done something like that. There has to be something off about this whole thing. She’s so strong
and independent. She’s the girl every other woman wants to be! I like her for her personality, not her
past…”
Burnham continued talking to himself as Colton stayed quiet.
“Colton, I really don’t know what to do. I genuinely love her and I even promised her that I would take
our rtionship seriously.”

Colton still didn’t say anything.
After Burnham finished his rant, he nced at Colton with slight annoyance at his silence.
“Colton, did you hear me? Say something.”
“What do you want me to say? It’s nothing to do with me whether you marry Ste or not.”
“You’re a good friend, so of course, I’d like your input on things.”
“I never liked Ste from the very beginning, but you went ahead and approached her. Did you ask for
my input then?”
Burnham went quiet, clearly feeling guilty.
After a while, Colton chuckled. “That’s not all Ste did. She’s a deep, murky swamp that you’d better
watch out for. If she were to pull you down, you wouldn’t be able to crawl out of it.”
“No. No! Ste must have had no other choice back then. She’s just not that kind of person!”
Colton eyed Burnham in disappointment. He knew his friend was hopeless.
He stood up and walked away quickly,pletely ignoring Burnham calling him from behind.
As for Burnham, he continued downing drink after drink until he couldn’t think or walk straight and the
alcohol flowed like liquid adrenaline through his veins.
He rushed into Ste’s house, which was an apartment unit in a pretty well-off area that he had bought
for her.
He waited in her living room for her toe home.
10 p.m. passed, then 11, then midnight.
Ste only returned at 3 in the morning.
She was also slightly tipsy and her face was tinged with red. After feeling around to turn on the light,
she jumped at the sight of a man sitting on her couch.
“Burnham? You have scared me.”
Burnham looked behind him and saw Ste.
“Why are you back sote?”
His tone was much colder than his previous affectionate way of talking.
Ste knew she had to tread lightly and smiled helplessly. “Just work stuff. I want to leave, but my
company probably has it out for me. It’s like they’re purposely interfering with the process. Even today,
they forced me to go out to entertain clients.”
As she spoke, she curled up next to Burnham and said, “I’m so tired, Burnham. Thank God you’re here.
I feel much better just knowing that I have you.”
Burnham’s heart immediately softened at her words.
He pulled Ste into an embrace and was about to say something, but decided to stop himself.
Instead, he bent down and kissed her firmly. He was already lit up by the mes of his desire and
pinned her down on the sofa.
Their bodies entwined together and for the moment, Burnham forgot about all the disappointment and
confusion he had felt earlier. For now, they were just a man and a woman, taking what they needed the
most from each other.
