My Meandering Romance

15

On the way back, I couldn't help asking Wayne why he went to school so far away.

I muttered, "I... I hope to know more about you."

Wayne promptly got delighted as it was the first time I said something like this.

He told me the whole story without hesitation.

His grandparents were pretty superstitious. When Wayne and Ralph were born, his grandparents did divination and knew that Wayne and Ralph living together would affect the fortune of the company and the Miller family. At that time, their grandparents were the real power of the family. Therefore, their parents could only send either Wayne or Ralph away to the foster home.

The person was chosen at random, and Wayne was decided to be the child who lived away from the Miller family.
