Juno's thoughts were crystal clear to Wayne, who tactfully declined her confrontational request: "Running into a fellow countryman in the vast sea of people in Paris means we share some profound fate. Come on, sit down, and let's talk this over slowly."
Juno intended to refuse, but seeing Wayne already seated with Secretary Mona standing behind him, she had no choice but to sit down as well.
"Wayne, you're becoming more and more like Austin."
"What are you talking about? He is our dad!"
"Stop kidding, I know full well there's no blood relation between him and me."
"But your mother had a relationship with him."
"Ah, that..."
"We're all adults here, you know what I mean, no need to explain further."
Wayne shrugged; Austin and the Queen's relationship was a known affair, and even though it might tarnish the family's reputation, Wayne, who had always been straightforward since childhood, wouldn't spread rumors about such matters.
