Chapter 297 (1): Francan Jokes Never Get Old
Young Lady’s mansion.
Seeing three girls huddled together playing cards, Wayne shamelessly barged in and reshuffled the cards for a new round of strip poker—well, no one actually stripped, but notes were stuck on the losers. Soon enough, Vera’s face was all covered up.
Having a good eye didn’t mean having good luck. Vera was lacking in that department, so much so that her progress lagged behind the other girls even though she had been first in line.
“Oh, isn’t this Brother Wayne? It’s been a while. The last time I saw you...” Veronica thought for a moment before saying in realization, “Right. It was a few years ago. If you came home a little later, you would’ve missed my wedding.”
The cutting sarcasm was obviously not Veronica’s style. Without thinking, Wayne hit Vera’s head with a hand chop.
“Ow!” Vera held her head with a petulant look. “Veronica said it. Vera didn’t. Why did you hit Vera instead? What a poor girl Vera is!”
“Veronica couldn’t say something that smart!”
I like hearing that. Keep going! Vera shook her head, turning away to hide her grin.
That irritated Veronica and drove a wedge between the close-knit alliance between the three girls. The boat they shared was leaking. It didn’t capsize only because Senna was too formidable a rival.
Wayne glanced at Kristen and her unchanging smile. “I’m about done with my work, so I’ll have more free time in the next few days. It’s only the next few days, though. Her Majesty has just made a national address through broadcast. Windsor declared war on Franc and Prussia. Auston can’t do the work alone.”
Technically, he wasn’t busy since Mona was doing all his work. However, to better manage his time, he had to be busy and productive. Only then would the three magical girls be productive. Otherwise, if they stayed together at the Lando Estate, Veronica would be the only one benefiting.
Vera jumped, asking with her besties on her sides, “Where’s Master Senna? Where did she go? Why haven’t we seen her for so many days?”
