Chapter 309: I Choose Austin, for He Is the People's Choice_2

Wayne chuckled, "I won't go into specifics, but during my slumber in the Grand Cemetery of the West District, I heard quite a bit of gossip about the Queen and Mr. Austin carrying on an affair."

"These troublemakers dare say anything when they're visiting graves, about the Queen and Austin exchanging secrets, how Austin's good at reading people and smoothing things over, all while appearing clueless. I'm too embarrassed to even listen to that; it's both highbrow and lowbrow, so let's not emphasize that here."

Wayne wanted to say something more, but stopped himself when he saw Hefei's smile stiffen, making the rational choice to end the conversation.

He then said, "As you can see, I am a skeleton, not understanding the joy of love between men and women. Death grants me eternal peace, I do not think, nor will I try."

"Sound reasoning!" Philomena nodded in agreement.
