Chapter77
Erwina was just about to speak when she heard Gustav, who had been resting with his eyes closed, say softly, “Okay.”
Elaine on the other side of the projector was stunned for a moment, and even forgot her own sadness!
Her lips trembled, and she looked at her own daughter with an accusing look, “Wina, you, you were with Commander Mullen?”
“Yes.” Erwina also felt this scene was kind of socially awkward. She turned her head to look at Gustav, her little face all scrunched up, with a pleading look in her eyes.
She didn’t say anything, but seeing her cute little face, Gustav’s Adam’s apple moved a bit. He got up, walked over to her, bent down and kissed her on the forehead, then said, “You guys talk first.”
He turned around and walked into the bedroom inside.
Erwina let out a sigh of relief, but at the same time, she felt the spot on her forehead where Gustav had kissed her was a bit hot.
When she looked up, she saw her mom on the other side of the projector, staring at her with a really sad look.
Elaine: “Wina, you sent me a projection late at night, just to show off your love to your own mom?”
“No no no.”
Erwina quickly told her that Nora was about to be released. After she

finished, she looked serious, “Ms. Elaine, what are you going to do?”
“Yeah, I already knew about Nora getting out of prison. Your dad was out of his mind, he even wanted to bring her to District III, settle her in the Schrader Restaurant in District III, and then I had a big fight with him.”
Elaine said it lightly, but her eyes were red.
No matter if she won or lost the argument this time, she still ended up losing.
Erwina looked at her mom worriedly, “Mom, I’m sorry, I have military training for the next month, so I can’t go back to be with you.”
But actually, right now Elaine was the one who needed company the
most.
Elaine said gently, “Silly kid, I’m fine. Of course it hurts a bit, but life has to go on. I still have more than a hundred years to live, no need to stay sad because of Ethan, that bastard. He’s not worth it!”
Maybe because she had already prepared herself for it, Elaine was sad, but she didn’t feel like the sky was falling.
She said, “And Wina, you don’t need to worry about me. I planned to go to District III tomorrow, get the divorce done, and then go travel for a month or two. When I get back, your military training will be over.”
“Yeah, Mom, I made you a big meal then!”
“Okay.”
When it was time to end the call, Elaine carefully said, “Wina, um, about the first thing I said just now, Commander Mullen didn’t take it seriously, right?”

In front of the commander’s son–in–law, asking the commander’s son–in- law to introduce the handsome uncle to her… Elaine was so embarrassed she could’ve dug out a whole planet!
Erwina actually couldn’t figure out what Gustav really meant when he said that.
She just had to say, “Mom, don’t worry. Commander Mullen probably didn’t hear it clearly.”
I hoped he didn’t hear it clearly… right.

After the call, Erwina let out a soft sigh. It was pretty late now, and she should head back to the dorm.
She first thought Gustav was in the bedroom, but the bedroom was empty. Victor was next to her and said very considerately, “Mrs. Mullen, the master is taking a bath.”
Erwina’s mouth twitched. You were just a system, so why did you have to drag out the last syllable when you talked!
Erwina: “Then please tell him later, I’m heading back to the dorm first.
Victor: “Oh, really? But I heard the boss still had something to tell you. How about you wait till he finished his shower?”
Erwina was a bit torn.
Reason told myself, don’t wait. Even if we were husband and wife, soldiers out there still had to follow orders. Being rational, of course I should stay in the dorm.
But if she just left like this, what if Gustav was talking about something related to Nora?

Victor: “The master already washed his hair, now he’s washing his chest, and then going down…”
Erwina quickly said, “Stop! I didn’t ask you to stream! Forget it, I’ll just wait for him by the couch!”
Victor’s electronic eyes narrowed.
So sad.
The owner’s figure was actually really good.
Erwina sat back down on the sofa, holding her cup of milk, but maybe
because she used up some energy fighting with Dora earlier, she started to feel a bit sleepy while sitting there!
