Chapter27
Even Victor, who didn’t have taste buds, sniffed hard. He said with. emotion, “Mrs. Mullen was amazing, she could actually make such delicious food!”
Victor was a bit too lively, even kind of noisy, and Gustav had always disliked it before.
But now, listening to it praise Erwina in all kinds of ways, I suddenly didn’t mind it that much.
Maybe it was because the salt–baked fish in front of me was just too delicious.

School was about to start. No matter what Erwina said, she still couldn’t stop her family from wanting to see Commander Mullen.
The only thing to be glad about was that they didn’t dare to just show up. They let Erwina talk to us first, and waited until the Commander Mullen was free before coming over.
Elaine knew her daughter’s trouble. She whispered, “Anyway, since we had to come check out the District I branch, don’t feel any pressure. If it really doesn’t work… just say the Commander Mullen is busy. Once the branch stuff is settled, your grandpa and your dad will go back.”
The Schrader family’s restaurants were really awesome in the United Empire of Planets, but they were just running restaurants.
In front of the Commander Mullen, I was just a cook!
Chapter2?
So the Schrader family was all nervous and uneasy, both looking forward to and anxious about meeting the Commander Mullen soon.
Erwina was actually even more nervous than they were!
During this time, she tried to contact Gustav several times, and he still said the same thing: Let’s talk in person.
In the end, there was nothing Erwina could do, so she just prayed that Gustav would stay busy and wouldn’t have time to talk to her face to face.
As for the family wanting to visit the commander’s place, Erwina didn’t mention it to Gustav at all.
She thought the other person definitely wouldn’t agree, and bringing it up would just make things even more awkward between them.
The family took a spaceship to District I. They stayed at a branch of the Schrader Restaurant. Erwina and Megan got to know the area a bit, then the others stayed behind while the two of them took a flyer straight to Empire University to check in.
Megan was really quiet all the way.
Ever since she found out Erwina married the Top Commander, she just hadn’t gotten over it.
There was no one else on the ship, and Erwina didn’t bother pretending to be close with her. She just lazily scrolled through Starnet.
Just when we were about to get to the destination, Megan suddenly said, “If Commander Mullen helps you, then there’s no way I’ll get the management rights for this branch.”
Erwina looked up at her, “So?”
Chapter27
Megan bit her lip, still looking a bit upset. “If you got the branch manager job by relying on Commander Mullen, it wasn’t a fair win!”
Erwina laughed, “What, trying to provoke me? Sorry, luck and connections are also part of a person’s strength. Be good, just focus on your studies at school, then find a good job after you graduate. Anything from the Schrader family is not something you can even think about.”
Megan looked wronged, “Sis, you got me wrong, I wasn’t after the Schrader family’s stuff. Dad said you weren’t well, and our two brothers. didn’t care about running the Schrader Restaurant. I just wanted to help Dad out, it was all for our Schrader family.”
Erwina pushed up her frameless gold glasses for decoration, and she looked at Megan with a curious face.
Megan was a little freaked out.
“Sis, what were you looking at?”
“I was watching, how did you manage to say such bitchy stuff without even blushing or skipping a beat.”
Megan’s face turned as dark as the bottom of a pot in an instant.
The aircraft just announced it had arrived at Empire University and landed smoothly.
Without special reasons or special permission, others couldn’t fly aircraft in the school.
Erwina got down first and walked toward the school.
Today was the first day of college for freshmen, and it was also the
Chapter27
liveliest time of the year at Empire University.
Spencer, dressed in a dark gray military uniform, stood there. He was already a senior about to graduate, and he was also the student council. president at the Military School. He was pretty popular at school.
Teachers and students who passed by all said hi to him.
Standing next to him was Julian Carter, also in a dark gray uniform, looking around. He said, “Spencer, which of your two sisters is prettier? Do they both have boyfriends?”
“They’re all married.” Spencer said this calmly, but she was actually pretty
unsettled.
Wina’s marriage partner was actually Commander Mullen!
