Chapter 2267
Before Wayne's fateful plunge into the ocean, a producer Rosalynn had met twice before suddenly got in touch with her. The producer was putting together a reality TV show featuring couples and wondered if
Rosalynn and Wayne would be interested in joining.
At the time, Rosalynn didn't even have to think about it-she declined on the spot.
First off, she wasn't keen on airing her private life for all to see.
Secondly, her relationship with Wayne was on shaky ground at the time, what with Olivia's bombshell pregnancy news and she came back to Wayne at the time.
"Whatever makes you happy," Rosalynn said, giving Wayne's interlocked fingers a gentle squeeze.
Inwardly, she was considering that if the producer approached her again, she might actually give it some thought. It could be a way to cheer Wayne up and give him a sense of security.d2
Even though it was a midnight screening, the theater was nearly full because the movie was a blockbuster hit.
Wayne was livid by the time it was over.
"His wife loved him so much, and he just killed her at sea for money!" Wayne ranted as they left the theater. "Totally despicable. I heard it's a mashup of several true stories," a girl behind them was equally outraged. "True stories?" Wayne turned around, his brow furrowed.
The girl, about to bond over mutual indignation, paused when she recognized who she was about to rant with. "Sorry about that," Rosalynn apologized with an embarrassed expression, quickly leading Wayne away.
"Is it really based on true events?" Wayne asked Rosalynn.
"Seems so," she patted his back soothingly, "calm down, all those bad guys got what was coming to them."
"Were the murderers sentenced?" Wayne pressed.
Rosalynn hadn't really followed the details.
"Must be!"
"People like that deserve to be drawn and quartered!"
"For an infamous online playboy, you're pretty moral," Rosalynn whispered teasingly.
Wayne's previous immediately deflated.
"I've changed, I'm not that guy anymore," Wayne muttered.
"Alright, I'll find a way to clear your name, but let's head home first," Rosalynn coaxed him.
Wayne's pleasure was evident. He wasn't bothered by others' opinions, nor did he crave having his name vindicated. But the fact that Rosalynn was willing to offer him comfort filled him with profound happiness.
The girl who had been fuming slowly came back to her senses. She whipped out her phone and swiftly tweeted.
"Holy smokes! Just saw Wayne after the movie!! Even he, the notorious playboy, was mad at movie's villain, aghhhh! Secretary Tesdal is such a gem!"
With Wayne's name tagged, the comments section quickly lit up.
"Wasn't there a rumor that Wayne died from his old injuries a while back?"
"Wait, Wayne's still alive?"
"Hahaha, some fans really go too far. Wayne's been abroad recovering, just last month he was at Bane Corporation's Al base in Munich, don't hate! My ship is still sailing strong!"
"Twitter isn't a wishing well, Wayne may be controversial, but he shouldn't die!"
"Is this for real? Secretary Tesdal took Wayne to watch this movie? Hahaha, too bold, fam!"
Someone even posted a fresh photo in the comments.
It was of Rosalynn and Wayne, side by side, their fingers tightly interlaced as they talked.
Both were in profile.
"Though I don't know what they're talking about, Wayne was genuinely upset by the movie's villain, and it looks like his wife is comforting him. I'm dying of laughter; right after I snapped this, Wayne was all cheered up. I regret not capturing that transformation-it was night and day!"
"After all these years, Secretary Tesdal's ability to cheer up Wayne in three seconds is still legendary~"
"Ahhhh is it just me, or did anyone else notice they're in matching outfits? Wayne looks so young without his suit, he doesn't look like an old man at all!"
