Chapter 503 AFTER A WEEK

ASTRID was making popcorn. Tonight’s episode of [The Great War] would be the first episode that would truly show his acting talent. Not that he didn’t show any of that in the previous episodes, but his acting in those episodes was like just a drop in a bucket. While in this episode, it’s the full bucket.

In this episode, his character, Luan Escanor, had just been ordained to a Bishop. It’s his first ordination after he became a priest. Some might say that it’s a bit fast, considering that it’s only the seventh episode, but considering how the source material has more than 500 chapters, and there’s only 35 episodes, this kind of pacing was just right.

As the popcorn was cooking, he started making iced tea. When the popcorn stopped popping, he was about to pour it into a big bowl, but someone took the bowl from him.

“Let me do it.”

Astrid raised his head and saw Wulfric pouring the popcorn in the bowl.

“I’ll take the tea,” Reas said on the side, picking up the pitcher and putting it on a tray alongside four glasses. Bringing them to the living room.

Wulfric followed with the huge bowl of popcorn.

Astrid watched the two. Nothing had really changed after a week. The two still bickered incessantly. Which was understandable, since they had never really met during the weekdays. Especially considering that Reas had school.

Yes, it had been a week since then. Surprisingly enough, Wulfric didn’t spend that whole week attached to Astrid. Which Astrid definitely preferred. Probably because he not only had school but also a work schedule that the other couldn’t just follow. Wulfric was probably also busy with his own things. Because no matter how free he looked, he’s still a General of the Empire.

The two of them mostly spent their time together eating meals, breakfasts and dinners, to be exact. He did all the cooking, of course. While Wulfric provided a lot of high-quality ingredients.

“Aster, did the General spend most of his time here during the weekdays?” Reas suddenly asked.

“You can just ask me that. It’s not like I’m not going to answer you,” Wulfric said, shaking his head.

“Who knew if the General will answer me honestly?”

“He didn’t,” Astrid said in response to Reas’ earlier question. He felt like if he didn’t answer immediately, the two would start bickering again. “Wulf is also very busy. How can he spend the majority of his day with me? Right, Wulf?”

Wulfric cleared his throat. “Right.”

But in truth, he actually wanted to do just that – spend most of his time with Aster. He couldn’t do that, though. No, actually, he could. It would just make him look like a stalker if he did. So, he could only reluctantly do some reports that Leland had sent him. And, on the side, he started attending a cooking lesson in the VirtualNet.

It was a good use of his time. He was confident that by next week, he could finally cook for Aster.

“By the way, Aster, why did you prepare four glasses? Is one of your friends coming?” he asked, not only because he wanted to change the subject, but because he was also very curious about the answer.

“Ah, yes. It’s my agent. I invited her over. I was thinking that the two of you could meet. Is it alright?” Aster asked, looking a bit hesitant.

Wulfric was a bit surprised at first, but he quickly understood why Aster wanted him to meet his agent. If he continued to hang around Aster, it would be inevitable for him to meet the other. So, it would be better to introduce himself now than later.

“Of course. I’ll be happy to meet her.”

Hopefully, the other wouldn’t be too surprised seeing him.
