Chapter 359
Wayne was about to reply when Luther stopped him, “Alright now, this argument is the equivalent of chicken or egg. There’s no right answer.”
Luther turned around and looked at the expressionless Sage and said, “Sage, what’re you waiting for? Invite the old man in.”
Sage was about to invite Wayne in when he dodged to the side, “No, I’m not going in!”
Wayne refused to go inside and squatted by the corner of the wall.
Everyone else looked at each other knowingly, they, too, tried to get Wayne to rest inside the Rosa Garden, but he refused to. So everyone stood outside and waited.
Luther could not understand Wayne’s refusal. He looked over at Sage, whose expression was as still as the dead water, and frowned. He knew Sage was about to lose it.
“What’s up with you, grandpa? Why’d you refuse to go inside?” Luther squatted next to Wayne and asked.
Luther pointed at Sage and continued, “This girl here had been thinking about you every day. Now that you’re finally back, you should spend some quality time together. Go inside, take a shower, have a good meal and a good sleep. How good does that sound? You haven’t had Sage’s cooking in a while, have you?”
Wayne licked his lips upon hearing that. He did miss his granddaughter’s cooking…
“I’m still not going in.” Wayne took his pipe up and was about to light it and said without looking at Sage, “If you guys miss me, have a good look at me now then. I’ll go back to my place once I’m done with this.”
Sage’s face sunk. “Where are you going back to? Do you have a house in Salem City?”
Wayne looked up and said, “Of course I do!”
Hunter looked at the old man and looked back at Sage, “Mister Wayne meant the hut next to the City Church. It’s old and run down, and it used to be where they kept the ponies.
Sage’s face sunk. “Grandpa!”
Wayne responded quickly, “You startled me! What a loud voice you have there.”
