Chapter42
Looking at Victor who came to greet him, Gustav handed over his military cap for him to hold, “Where’s Mrs. Mullen?”
Victor: “Earlier I took Mrs. Mullen to the Schrader Restaurant, so right now she was either still at the Schrader Restaurant or she had already gone back to school.”
Gustav paused for a moment and frowned a little: “Why didn’t she want to move in?”
Victor was so worried he was about to lose his hair, if he had any.
Victor: “My master, Mrs. Mullen thought you didn’t want to divorce her because she could be your exclusive suppressant. You had to explain it clearly so she wouldn’t misunderstand like that.”
Gustav’s eyes got colder. He could kill fierce, dangerous giant bugs with his bare hands, and he could survive alone for days on a desolate, wandering planet.
But he just didn’t know what to do with this soft little wife!
Victor actively offered advice: “Boss, you gotta learn how to sweet–talk your wife. Or, how about this, His Majesty has been married for years, he must have a lot of experience. Why don’t you ask him?”
Gustav looked at Victor with a slightly dark and unhappy look in his eyes.
Victor got it right away and said very considerately, “Master, you don’t have to talk about yourself directly. Just say you have a friend who had a fight with his wife, and now his wife won’t come home. What should he

do in this situation.”
Gustav: …
A few minutes later, Leland, who had just finished a day of work and returned to his wife and kids ready to relax, got a call from his uncle.
Gustav: A friend of mine had a fight with his wife, and she wouldn’t come home. What should he do?
Leland looked at his uncle’s message, then turned to Queen Manya and complained, “My uncle’s really hopeless. They just got married and already started fighting. He even made his wife run away!”
Manya still had a pretty good impression of Erwina.
She said doubtfully, “That shouldn’t be, I think that Erwina has a really good personality. My sister actually has a bad temper sometimes, but she also praised Erwina and said she’s a good person.”
Leland: “Erwina had a good temper, but my uncle was really cold and hard to get along with! See, it didn’t even take long for him to make someone mad, and now they wouldn’t even come home!”
Manya: “Then just help out and try to talk to him. After all these years, it’s not easy for uncle to finally have someone by his side.”
The company of family was always different from being with a partner day and night.
Leland thought the same way, and he had already looked into Erwina’s background.
Except for having been seriously injured and in a coma before, maybe not in great health, there were no other flaws.

The Schrader family was just nobles from District III, but as long as the uncle was happy with this wife, then it was fine.
So Leland thought about it and gave his uncle some advice.
Leland: It was easy to make a woman happy, just give her flowers, give her pretty jewelry and clothes.
Leland: If nothing else worked, just kiss her!
Gustav got his message and his mouth twitched.
These answers looked really unreliable!

By seven in the evening, Erwina finally finished organizing all the materials.
Came up with some initial steps for the opening ceremony, but some still needed changes.
Especially this menu.
District I had regular residents‘ tastes and spending levels, which were easy to find out.
But it was really hard to get the info on those royals, nobles, and big shots. in the military.
These messages were all encrypted, so I guess you had to use some special channels to get them.
Megan just came out of the kitchen. She wiped her hands and smiled, saying, “Sis, the opening ceremony was pretty troublesome, right?”
Chapter42
“Yeah, it was pretty troublesome.”
“Did you need me to help you out?”
Erwina looked up and smiled, saying, “Sure, get me a cup of hot water.”
The fake smile on Megan’s face faded bit by bit.
She sneered and said, “Erwina, you can’t beat me, just give up. The old man might look like he’s supporting you now, but if you mess up this opening ceremony, he won’t be able to protect you either. I’m more suited to manage this branch than you are!”
Erwina moved her slightly sore wrist and said casually, “Aren’t you afraid you’ll bite your tongue if you talk too big?”
“You were just being unreasonable. After all, these years you were either lying in the nutrition pod or recovering at home, while I worked so hard. and put in so much effort. There’s no way you could compare to me!”
