You’ll Fall For Me, Today Or Tomorrow Chapter 470

Chapter 470 Happily Ever After

I’m supposed to be happy if I’m truly driving myself to achieve my goals, but are these really worthy of my time? I guess time will tell!

Unable to stand the awkward silence, Wrenna thought of striking up a conversation with Damian. When she recalled Damian had never once engaged himself in a conversation with her, she hesitated. Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

Am I supposed to bring up something silly to lighten the mood as I have always done? To be honest, I’m not sure since I have always been the one doing the talking. I can’t think of anything to share with him as well.

“Damian…”

The man next to her arched his brows when he heard her. He asked, “Yes?”

“Shall we return to the living room since it’s getting cold?”

“Sure.”

Once they returned to the living room, Wrenna stammered with her fingers clasped, “I-I’ll return to the study! Why don’t you carry on with your work?”

Damian couldn’t think of anything else to carry on with the conversation. In the end, he wrapped up the conversation with a smile and said, “Go ahead.”

He spent the night in the living room, enjoying the shows of different channels. Meanwhile, Wrenna had a hard time focusing on her study.

Instead of nestling against Damian in his arms, Wrenna slept on the edge of the bed when it was about time to sleep.

Things went on as usual until it was time for Wrenna’s short break.

She finally regained her composure and spent most of her time studying apart from dropping by her parents’ and in-laws’ places.

In the meantime, Stella had a great time living life as a member of the upper echelon through Burnham’s aid.

She had officially tendered resignation, but she was still in the middle of handing over her tasks to her colleagues.

Although she was a capable woman and the representative of a multinational corporation, it would take more than that for others to acknowledge her as a member of the upper echelon.

Thus, she leveraged her relationship with Burnham and acquired his aid to introduce her as a friend of his to the rest.

Unfortunately, there were rumors of her being in a relationship with Burnham. As capable as she might be, she couldn’t stop others from picking on her. She had run into others talking about her more than once.

When she was in the washroom, she heard someone engaging themselves in a conversation.

“Ms. Lane is quite a capable woman, but I’m afraid she doesn’t have the things it takes to be Mrs. Stewart. Have you heard of the Lane family or something? I’m afraid she’s just another woman from the streets.”

“I guess it’s fine even if she’s just another woman from the streets. After all, she’s quite a formidable corporate player. Maybe the Stewart family isn’t against the idea of acknowledging her as long as she has a clean family background.”

“You don’t think others will end up like Mrs. Tyson, do you? It took her years for the Tysons to acknowledge her as a member of the family!”

“I guess you have a point.”

“Ha! I’m pretty sure true love is just another fairy tale to deceive little girls! Speaking of which, check out this limited edition designer bag of mine!”

“Urgh! Stop getting full of yourself!”

Stella walked out of the cubicle shortly after the duo’s departure. Staring at herself in the mirror, she started touching up her makeup.

Mrs. Tyson? I encountered her a few years ago! Indeed, she was a gorgeous and amiable woman! However, she had never once shown me the courteous side of hers!

She was highly regarded by the members of the upper echelon in D City since she was quite a capable woman! After all, she did a great job raising her children! Also, she was the one and only Mr. Tyson truly cared about!

Thus, others were jealous of her! Countless women tried driving them apart from one another, but their effort was to no avail!

I once thought of joining the household as well, but she wouldn’t stop getting in the way of my relationship with her son! Since it’s over for me, I guess it’s not half bad to join the Stewart family!

She grinned and marched out of the washroom with her head held high once she was done.

Those pretentious women in the washroom started behaving differently the moment Stella returned to Burnham’s side, greeting her as if they were friends.

At the end of the banquet, Burnham carried the slightly drunk Stella to the car since she couldn’t even walk without others’ support after gulping down a few glasses of wine.

Unable to sit upright, she swayed and ended up in between Burnham’s arms in the car. Staring at the woman in his arms, his eyes flickered in confusion.

Burnham had to carry Stella all the way up since she slept like a log even when they had returned to her apartment.

He roused her from sleep to unlock the door and brought her to the master bedroom the moment he gained access to her apartment.

In spite of being barely conscious, Stella wrapped her arms around Burnham with a bright grin. Burnham played along with her instead of leaving her alone.

“Stella…”

“Stay with me…”

Burnham couldn’t bring himself to turn her down when she had shown him her most vulnerable side.

He had long fallen for her. Her relationship with Damian was the only reason he chose to stay away from her back in the day.

She’s no longer in love with Damian! After spending the past few days together, I’m sure she feels something for me as well! I guess it’s safe to assume the sort of affection we have for one another is mutual!

With that, he went all the way.

Stella saw Burnham next to him in bed the moment she woke up the next day. She was startled by his presence.

As the emotions came flooding out, she started weeping next to the man and roused him from his sleep.

Burnham sat upright and wrapped his arms around her, expressing his utmost apology in an affectionate tone, “Stella, I’m so sorry, but I can’t stop myself from loving you. I know Damian’s the only one you have in mind, but it doesn’t really matter. Can you give me a chance to prove myself worthy?”

Stella remained silent throughout the session. Staring dead ahead, she said, “Burnham, I know you’re serious, and I wish to give you a chance as well. However, I’m afraid it’s going to take some time for me to move on.”

“I’m well aware of your concerns. It’s fine as long as you’re willing to give me a chance to prove myself.”

Staring at Burnham in the eyes, the pale and haggard Stella assured the man, “I’ll try my best to move on, Burnham.”

Burnham couldn’t suppress the affection he had for her anymore. He held her firmly in his arms and started kissing her.

Stella played hard to get and avoided him for a short while. In the end, she gave in and finished the session he started.

……

Wrenna found out Stella had gotten herself into a relationship when Burnham showed up at the campus to pick Stella.

“Are you finally done with your lessons, Wren?”

Burnham, who had put on a set of casual outfits, garnered the attention of the young woman around him since he had a posh car next to him.

Wrenna was astonished when she saw him. He asked, “Burnham, what brings you here today? Are you here for me?”

“Actually, I’m here to pick Stella up. We’re currently in a serious relationship.”

Wrenna was taken aback by Burnham’s introduction. She couldn’t believe Stella, who claimed she was head over heels in love with Damian, had gotten herself into a relationship with another man so soon.

“Are you shocked? Haven’t Stella made herself clear it’s over between her and Damian? Don’t you think it’s about time for you to stop holding a grudge against her since she no longer has a thing for him?”

Wrenna responded with a smirk since she begged to differ. She wasn’t just about to forgive Stella after being picked on by her more than once.

“Is that so?”

“What do you mean? Don’t you think you’re supposed to apologize for being rude to her all this while?”

Wrenna looked at Burnham in the eyes and found the man in front of her foolish. Instead of picking on him, she wrapped up the conversation and marched in the opposite direction.

“Hey, Wren! You—”

When Burnham was about to say something else, Stella marched out of the building and knew what was going on when she saw the man getting worked up.

She asked, “Have you seen Wrenna?”

“Yes! I was about to get her to apologize for the things she has done since she was the one at fault! It turns out she’s still the arrogant woman she has always been.”

Chuckling, Stella assured him, “It’s not necessary since you’re the one who matters the most. It’s enough as long as you’re aware of the truth.”

Burnham’s heart skipped a beat as the woman in front of her finished her sentence in an aggrieved manner.

He held her in his arms and reassured her, “I’m so sorry for the things you have to go through, Stella! I’ll stop others from picking on you in the future!”

“Mmm! I have faith in you!”

The gorgeous-looking duo’s interaction had garnered the attention of the onlookers around them. One of Stella’s students approached her and asked, “Ms. Lane, is this your boyfriend?”

Stella introduced Burnham to the rest with a proud grin, “Allow me to introduce him! This is Burnham! He’s my boyfriend!”

“Hello!”

The students grew fond of the seemingly amiable duo since Burnham greeted them and carried himself in a courteous manner.

Within a few days, everyone on the campus was made aware that Stella had gotten herself into a relationship with someone. The gossipmongers found out the man was the successor of the Stewart family from D City, the pharmaceutical conglomerate, and the owner of a few hospitals in the city.

They mentioned something along the line of Stella getting married to the prince charming.

The duo’s relationship was the talk amongst the students for a few days. Stella’s students started interacting with her on her social media account. Soon, Stella made it to the headline due to her relationship with the successor of a renowned family.

As their relationship continued garnering the attention of the onlookers, people with different opinions started showing up, expressing their thoughts on her social media account. It turns out she’s a capable corporate player with exceptional academic qualifications! I can’t believe such a gorgeous lecturer is in a relationship with the successor of a wealthy family!

I heard they were acquainted with one another ever since their high school days! It turned out the sort of affection they shared for one another was mutual! I’m almost certain things will turn out just fine for the duo!
