You'll Fall For Me, Today or tomorrow

Chapter 482 The Joker

When Wrenna hung up the phone, the girls in her dorm were still wide awake. They knew that Wrenna was on the phone with Damian. However, they were astonished that they spoke for so long!

That’s really weird. These two have never done anything like that before or after getting married. Now that they’re officially divorced, do they have endless topics to talk about now? Obviously, something fishy is going on.

They were waiting patiently to talk about this matter. As soon as she ended the call, Dora popped the question. “Wren, why did you two talk for so long? It’s the direct opposite of when you were in a relationship with him. It’s almost two hours. Aren’t your ears tired? I’m surprised your phone didn’t explode.”

Wrenna fell silent. She was unsure how to respond. “What’s going on, Wren? Haven’t you gotten over Mr. Quigley?”

“I think Damian is the one acting strange here. Wren has always had feelings for him. How could she just erase everything in a flash? The thing is that Damian was the one who called her first and went on talking to her for hours. Don’t you think that it’s weird? Wren, what is he thinking?”

Wrenna was dumbstruck. “I have no idea. Maybe he’s just bored.”

“He called you up because he was bored? Then, who did he call when he felt bored last time? I’ve never seen him being so keen. I’m pretty sure something is off. You’d better beware, Wren.”

“Beware of what?”

“That he wants to make up!”

Wrenna chuckled. “You girls think too much. Damian and I are divorced. I’m not his type. We’re just god siblings. At most, we’re a pair of close god siblings. It’s impossible for us to be together again. Anyhow, once bitten twice shy, so I won’t consider that possibility.”

“If that’s what you’re thinking, I’m relieved. Never look back, Wren. Instead, you should look around for more options on campus. In the near future, I’m certain you’ll find a better man. If nothing works out, I’ll introduce my fellow acquaintance to you. Just make do with it. He’s from my hometown…”

“Shh… Dora, how can one make do when it comes to an important matter like this? You’re overthinking things. I can’t even cope with my studies now, let alone develop a relationship. We shall see once I’ve successfully completed the two-year program and graduate with a degree.”

They pondered for a while.

It’s true. Wrenna is so busy nowadays. She can’t even find time to juggle with her studies.

At first, Wrenna found Damian’s action strange too. However, after talking it out with the girls, she made up her mind to prioritize her studies.

She was not very interested in economics. Therefore, studying the course was quite a challenge for her. In order to graduate, she needed to go the extra mile and put in a lot more effort.
