Chapter 619: Chapter 258 Return to Lundan_3

Wayne gave an OK gesture, curious if Veronica could actually talk about it.

After some thought, she should be able to, even if he didn’t mention it, Veronica would tell Veronica herself.

Poor Veronica, she had the lowest progress bar.

They had just gotten off the plane and were still whispering to each other when Hefei led several strong maids to them.

A Randao Family trait, only the lady of the house and the young miss are allowed to be pretty, no one else.

Megan doesn’t count, she isn’t even human from a biological standpoint.

"Veronica! Wayne!"

With a wave, Hefei approached the two, wrapped them both in her arms, and kissed Veronica’s forehead, "How was your holiday, did you have fun, and were you treated well?"

Without waiting for Veronica to answer, she kissed Wayne on the forehead.

But she missed, as Wayne dodged it when she tried to tiptoe to reach him.

"Hmm?!"

"..."

Wayne, resigned, obediently bowed his head.

"That’s more like it."

Hefei smiled and kissed Wayne on the forehead, "Was the Church headquarters interesting? Did that woman give you any trouble? And Veronica, with her bad temper, did she cause you a lot of trouble? Look at you, not taking care of yourself when you’re away, you’ve lost weight."

Veronica: (눈_눈)

Get a room, I don’t want to interrupt your mother-son reunion.

Scratching his head sheepishly, Wayne wondered if he really had lost weight. Maybe, considering his recent activities were a bit intense, if not merging with Veronica, then merging with Saina.

It’s quite exhausting!

"Alright, we’ll talk more at home, that good-for-nothing father didn’t want to come, putting on airs and insisting on waiting at home for you." Hefei said, looking at Wayne.

"..."

Rolling her eyes, Veronica followed her mother into the limousine, kicking her brother to another car in the process.

She had some things to discuss with Hefei alone.

"You’re kidding, really?"

As the black luxury car fleet drove away from the airport, Hefei listened to the secret spilled next to her, surprised, "No way, I know her character well. She couldn’t possibly have feelings for Wayne..."

"Putting aside her cold nature, even if Wayne is outstanding, she was after all my teacher, and Wayne’s teacher’s teacher. With that status, it’s just not possible."

Impossible, absolutely impossible!

Hefei shook her head repeatedly, swearing on her character that her student was pure and noble in morals, that her teacher was cold-hearted and beyond the reach of men, and that her daughter had not been cheated on.

"It’s possible, the way she looked at Wayne was really off..."

Veronica glared, mimicking Saina’s sultry look, so clingy as if wanting to devour someone on the spot.

Hefei couldn’t help but laugh, the look indeed was quite predatory, then reassured, "You’re overthinking it. The old hag knows about your relationship with Wayne, and considering her history with me and that scoundrel, she might simply be manipulating you to make you give up on Wayne, it’s as simple as that."

"Really?"

"Why would I lie to you? I have experience in this, she tried to split me and that scoundrel up before, played plenty of tricks."

"She tried to seduce that old scoundrel?"

"Well, not that..."

Hefei pondered then confidently said, "It’s simple, I can explain this; her tactics didn’t work before, so she’s changed her strategy, and if you take it seriously, you’ll fall for it."

Looking at her confidently foolish mother, Veronica turned her head away, what a dummy, a complete idiot without self-awareness, not as smart as her!

"Speaking of which, you and Wayne have been together outside for so long, spending days and nights together, have you made any progress beyond a brother-sister relationship?" Hefei hugged Veronica’s shoulders, extremely curious.

"No."

"That was quick, so something did happen."

Hefei’s eyes lit up, excitedly grabbing her daughter’s hand, "Do tell, how far did it go, has he ever grabbed your hand like this?"

"No!"

"Impossible!"

"I said no and that means no, if you don’t believe me, go ask Wayne." Veronica’s heartbeat accelerated, no matter how Hefei questioned her, she steadfastly refused to admit anything.

"Useless."

Hefei, unsure whether to believe her or not, guessed they might have kissed already. She spoke sarcastically, trying to provoke Veronica’s competitive spirit, "When I was your age, I was already dating some scoundrel and holding hands at parties."

"Dating means holding hands, so marriage must mean kissing!" Veronica retorted sarcastically, mocking the previous generation’s innocence.

What was there to show off about that?

She had done this and that, and even that—did she feel proud, going around boasting?

"Let’s talk about the Holy Maiden selection, what’s the process this year? Did you and Wayne encounter any formidable opponents? And what’s with that old woman, why is she so good to you and Wayne?"

Seeing that she couldn’t pry the truth from Veronica, Hefei changed the topic, full of doubts that she planned to confront directly.

"The Old Witch likes Wayne, that’s why she always favors him."

"Stop joking, be serious."

"Then I don’t know anything. There’s some great news, but I don’t want to talk about it right now." Veronica was eager to share secrets, like the matter about the Naturalist Knight. Since the social trash had told her to give everyone a surprise in person, she teased but wouldn’t spill the beans.

"..."

The two stared at each other, Veronica with a huff insisting on her view, Hefei striking her daughter on the head with her fist, unable to comprehend whose rebellious character she had inherited.

Was that even a question?

"Damn scoundrel!"

Lando Manor.

Butler Megan was welcoming the convoy in front of the mansion, while Austin didn’t show his face, standing in his upstairs study, concealed behind the curtains. Only after seeing Wayne and Veronica step out of the car did he snort and sit back on the sofa.

The dining room featured fine cuisine, the most authentic local French meal from Windsor.

The family rejoiced together, celebrating the safe return of the two and presenting Veronica with a belated birthday gift.

After dinner, they moved to the study.

Megan didn’t guard the door and instead set up a soundproof barrier, standing inside the study and openly listening in.

"The situation is a bit complicated, it’s better to set up a barrier..."

Wayne looked at Austin, Austin looked at Hefei, Hefei looked at Megan, and Megan waved her hand to set up the soundproof barrier.

Upon seeing this process, Wayne noted he had learned something new. After the barrier was established, he said, "Teacher, I’ve completed the task you arranged. I’ve defeated Flora’s student, she won’t be able to become the Holy Maiden."

It was not just completion, it was an achievement beyond expectations. Flora herself was gone.

Hefei smiled and nodded, not particularly moved, as it was an expected outcome. Her student was so outstanding that Flora had no chance of winning.

It was Flora’s complete disappearance that concerned Hefei greatly.

The Church headquarters had issued an order for Flora to return and report, unclear if it was a promotion or demotion. Consequently, Flora’s staunch supporters began leaving the Windsor District as well.

Something was odd about the situation. Hefei suspected a conspiracy and warned Wayne to be careful not to fall into Flora’s schemes.

Austin frowned and glared at Wayne, signaling him to provide an explanation later.

The second private chat!

Wayne responded with a look, then took a deep breath before saying, "You must be wondering why Teacher Saina is so good to me and Veronica, not only not pursuing Veronica’s forfeiture but also teaching her Dragon Language Magic?"

Hefei nodded repeatedly, she was almost dying of curiosity.

"This matter has been classified as top secret by the Church hierarchy, known only to the Pope, the Great Prophet, and a few informed individuals."

Wayne took a deep breath and reached into the void, "You are the most important people to me, remember to keep this a secret for me. I’ve passed the test to become a God-chosen Knight..."

"Wayne, the Naturalist Knight!"
