You’ll Fall For Me, Today Or Tomorrow Chapter 486
Chapter 486 Habit Is Not Love
After handing in hisst piece of work to Damian, Johannes prepared to leave the office. However,
Damian called out to him, “Do you have anything on at night?”
Briefly stunned, Johannes replied, “No.” “In that case, let’s have dinner together.” Despite being filled
with anxiousness, Johannes maintained his calm facade. “Sure, Mr. Quigley.”
Perhaps, I am overthinking things. Mr. Quigley may just want to talk about some important tasks over
dinner. After they left the office, Damian drove while Johannes sat in the front passenger seat. Damian
took the initiative to ask, “What would you like to eat?”
“You decide, Mr. Quigley.” “Hmm, seafood?”
“Sure.” “Forget it, steak is better.” Having decided what to eat, Damian brought Johannes to a small
boutique restaurant. Damian was a regr there. Hence, he led Johannes into a private room. He even
checked with Johannes on what he would like before ordering.
After dinner was served, an awkward silence fell upon both men. As Johannes sipped from his drink,
Damian lit up a cigarette. “Johannes, do you have a girlfriend?”
After a brief hesitation, Johannes nodded. “You actually have a girlfriend?”
Damian’s shocked expression caused Johannes to feel embarrassed. What’s wrong with that?
“I’m surprised that you have one. After all, you don’t look like the type to have a girlfriend.” “Mr. Quigley,
my girlfriend and I have been together for almost ten years”
Damian was rendered speechless. It had never crossed his mind that Johannes had a girlfriend, let
alone one of ten years.
“Johannes, you really are a hidden gem!”
Johannes humbly smiled. “Mr. Quigley, you have ttered me.”
“Have I?”
Feeling unsettled by the idea, Damian’s expression darkened.
Johannes then wondered how the fact that he had a girlfriend could have upset Damian.
Despite being baffled, he didn’t feel anxious about it. After all, having a girlfriend was no big deal. He
was confident that as long as he did his job well, Damian wouldn’t find fault with him just because he
had one.
“So, why aren’t you married after being together for ten years?”
Briefly stunned, Johannes replied, “She doesn’t want to get married. She says that marriage is
meaningless to a woman.”
“What does that mean?”
“She quoted me many examples of the terrible consequences that befall women once they got married
such as being widowed, widowed with children, problems with inws, men cheating… Furthermore,
once a woman gets married and bears children, her physical appearance changes drastically.
Therefore, she doesn’t want to get married for the time being.”
Damian couldn’t understand the perspective. “Why? Don’t all women want to get married? Isn’t she
worried about you breaking up with her after ten years?”
“I’m the one who’s worried. She is an exceptional woman. Despite knowing that she has a boyfriend,
many other guys still insist on pursuing her.
Bam!
Damian mmed the table in anger, jolting Johannes at the same time.
“Mr. Quigley?”
Damian said to Johannes angrily, “A woman like that doesn’t love you at all. If she loves you, she
should want to marry you instead of surrounding herself with suitors. She is obviously doing it on
purpose!”
Johannes’s lips twitched.
Why is he angry all of a sudden?
“Mr. Quigley, I trust my girlfriend as we have been together since we were in school. After so many
years, I know what kind of person she is. On top of her being pretty and capable, we love each other
very much. All I can say is, I’m not the only man who appreciates her attractiveness. As for getting
married, I don’t want to force her.”
“Hmph, coward.”
What is Mr. Quigley actually insinuating? All that matters to me is that I trust my girlfriend.
Just when Damian was about to say something further, dinner was served. The moment both men
started eating, they fell into silence again.
At that moment, Johannes was still puzzled as to why Damian invited him to dinner and even asked
about whether he had a girlfriend.
Just when he was lost in his thoughts, Damian suddenly asked, “Don’t you want to get married? Given
that you love her so much, don’t you want to keep her by your side and not let her out of your sight?”
“I do, but I’m worried that I’ll lose her. Besides, I do trust her.”
“You’re really cool.”

Johannes chuckled. “I do love her after all.”
“Love her? How do you know that you love her?”
“Erm… about that…”
Johannes had forgotten when he realized that he loved his girlfriend.
Don’t we just know?
He gave it some thought. “I just knew it. When we were in school, she was top of the ss and very
pretty. Many of the boys liked her, including me.”
“What does that feel like?”
“Huh?”
Johannes threw the question back at Damian. “Mr. Quigley, don’t you have an ex-girlfriend before? I’m
sure you know what it feels like.”
Damian’s expression darkened in response to being questioned.
In fact, he felt extremely awkward about it.
Noticing the change in Damian’s expression, Johannes knew that he hadmitted a faux pas.
His survival instinct caused him to change the topic. “Actually, it’s simple, Mr. Quigley. All you want is to
be by her side and for her to be happy. It can be torturous when you don’t and when you do, you want
to spend the rest of your life with her. When there are other guys interested in her, it makes you angry
and feels the urge to keep her hidden so that no one would notice her…”
The more Damian heard Johannes exin, the more surprised he got.
When Johannes had finished, Damian remained expressionless and didn’t utter a word for a long time.
Johannes wasn’t sure if Damian was upset. Hence, he asked nervously, “Mr. Quigley, in matters of
love, what others say doesn’t really matter as everyone’s definition of love is different. What I have just
told you only rtes to my feelings for my girlfriend. If you want to know more, you can ask a few more
people or even engage apany to conduct research. Thepany will be able to provide you a
detailed exnation between loving and liking someone.”
“Why would I need to do that?”
Johannes was stumped by Damian’s response.
If you don’t want to know, why are you asking me?
Instead, Damian questioned further, “What about when a habit bes second nature. After getting
used to someone, you assume that you like that person?”
“Habit?”
Despite racking his brains, Johannes still didn’t understand what Damian was getting at.
Nevertheless, it didn’t stop him from answering earnestly, “In that case, you should break the habit so
that you can find out whether you like her or not.”
“Break the habit? How long do I need to do that?”
“It depends. But, I do have an idea although I’m not sure if it will work.”
“What idea?”
“A familial feeling would not include lust, right? If one has no romantic feelings, one would not feel any
desire. However, this only applies to men who are really serious in their rtionship and not those who
are just looking to have fun.”
Damian fell silent again. Despite theck of expression on his face, his eyes seemed to be glistening
intensely.
Meanwhile, Johannes used the lull in the conversation to dig into his food. By now, he suspected the
reason Damian invited him out for dinner was to ask for rtionship advice.
Unexpectedly, Damian had no other questions for him. Instead, he stood up suddenly and remarked,
“Continue with dinner while I take my leave first.”
With that, Johannes was left alone in the private room.
After hesitating a moment, he continued to enjoy his food. Halfway through the meal, he received a call
from his girlfriend. Coincidentally, she hadn’t had dinner, so he waited for her there.
After the meal, Johannes went home with his girlfriend. Just as they were chatting, he mentioned that
Damian had strangely invited him out for dinner to get some rtionship advice.
“I don’t really understand why.”
After giving him the side-eye, his girlfriend gently tapped him on the forehead.
“You fool. Your boss has a girl he likes. Isn’t that obvious?”
“How is that possible? Other than Ms. Jackson, he has not met with any other women. I’m certain of
that.”
“His ex-wife?”
“Yes, but now, she is no longer his ex-wife. Ms. Jackson has be Mr. and Mrs. Tyson’s
goddaughter. In other words, she is Mr. Quigley’s godsister now.”
“Haha, you reap what you sow! That’s why.”
“What do you mean?”
His girlfriend got up and prepared to enter the shower. Just before she did, she exined, “Isn’t a
goddaughter a woman too? All you men are fools. You only learn how to appreciate something after
losing it. Serves him right!”
Just as she spoke, she mmed the shower door shut. As for Johannes, his mind suddenly clicked
after processing what she said.
“Really?”
Nevertheless, he shared his girlfriend’s perspective on that matter.
Thinking about it now, he remembered Damian’s sullen expression when he and Wrenna divorced.
Furthermore, it badly affected morale in the office as Damian vented his frustration on the staff.
Recently, however, he left work early and would meet Wrenna for dinner, causing Johannes to assume
that the god siblings no longer had any romantic feelings for each other.
Or else, why would they get divorced?
Back then, Johannes knew how madly in love Wrenna was with Damian. It was obvious to everyone
that she was willing to jump through fire for him.
However, his feelings toward her were that of a brother to a sister.
However, Johannes still didn’t understand why Damian had romantic feelings for Wrenna only after
both of them had gotten divorced and Wrenna had abandoned any hope of romance.
Damn it! It was simply too much for Johannes to swallow.
Despite being the secretary to the president of Tyson Corporation, he still couldn’t figure out what
Damian was thinking.
After delving upon it further, he figured it must be just as his girlfriend had said. Men were indeed
swine.
Mmm-hmm. Mr. Quigley is probably an assh*le too when ites to rtionships.
Johannes could only keep his analysis of Damian to himself.
Tsk-tsk, looks like Mr. Quigley isn’t as capable as me when ites to love. Haha…
