Chapter 191 (1): Dear Father-in-law
Seeing Wayne’s conflicted expression, Silvia made the worst assumption and asked bluntly, “Did the woman make a move on you? Tell me. How did she take advantage of you? I’ll get back at her for you.”
“It’s not that, Master,” Wayne said. “She’s a high reverend of the Church of Moonlight and its highest authority in Windsor. Her status doesn’t allow her to force anything on me.”
“That’s more troublesome!” Silvia’s expression turned frosty. “I know you. You repay kindness with kindness. I’m not worried about her using force, but persuasion.”
If you’re so smart, Master, why did you let the scum fool you into the grave of marriage?
Wayne kept the comment to himself. Silvia couldn’t be further from a fool. She was shrewd and intelligent, a typical career woman, but somehow, she made a big mistake with Auston.
The Church of Nature has you as the District High Reverend. How about the other churches in Windsor...
Oh, wait, the Church of Moonlight’s High Reverend also turned out to be a hopeless simp. You’re evenly matched in being gullible. I suppose that’s fine then!
“Anyway, you should be careful. She’s bound to do something after learning about your original bloodline!” Silvia felt a headache brewing. Everywhere she went, some bastard tried to steal her student. She could never rest easy.
Suddenly remembering something, she added, “Be careful about her using her beauty. You’re young and may judge a book by its cover, but don’t believe her facade just because she’s pretty. I’ll be frank with you. She’s in her eighties now, old enough to be your grandmother.”
...That’s hyperbolic. Half that age would be more like it.
“Speak, Wayne.”
“You know me, Master. I’ve always been good at resisting a pretty face. Besides...” Wayne gave her an impassive look. “She’s a high reverend. Even if she plans on seducing me, she won’t take the matter into her own hands, but send a subordinate to do it.”
