Chapter 495 WHY ARE YOU HERE?

REAS narrowed his eyes at the man wearing an apron and was brewing tea. He didn’t know which one should shock him more—the fact that the general was here or that the other looked so at home in his brother’s apartment. No, it’s definitely not just because of those. If he combined those two with the visual shock of the other wearing an apron, then the answer was pretty much obvious.

He truly couldn’t understand why this guy was here right now. That was the first thing he asked when he saw the other, by the way. But the general just asked him if he wanted tea instead of answering him. And oh, the way he offered that was like this was his own home and Reas was the guest.

Reas couldn’t even find the time to be infuriated because the general just went and prepared tea for him. He could only sit down at the table and watch the other’s every movement.

It was then that he remembered his Terminal. He had forgotten to turn on its sound notification, which he turned off last night so he could have a better sleep. This would explain why he didn’t receive prior warning about this. Well, maybe he did, and he just wasn’t able to read it. Because there’s no way Astrid didn’t contact him to tell him about this… situation.

He quickly turned on his Terminal and sure enough, the first thing he saw were unread messages and missed calls on the screen. All of which were from his brother. He immediately read the messages.

[Reas, Wulfric is in the apartment right now. Please don’t be too surprised if you see him. He was there to visit me, but because of my sudden schedule, I had to leave. Wulf asked if he could stay and I agreed. Don’t be mad and attack him, okay? Call me once you read this message.] n0𝑣𝐞𝓁𝗎𝑠𝒷.𝔠0𝑚

[Since you’re not calling and also haven’t read my message, you probably turned off your sound notification again. Anyway, just try not to do anything violent, okay?]

[Reas, remember, no violence?]

The same message of ‘no violence’ appeared for a couple of times more. Reas couldn’t help but furrow his brows the more he read it. Did Astrid really think violence was his first reaction after seeing the general here?

Well, if it was before, that would probably be true. But after experiencing that special training under the Fenris Squad, and also with Astrid forgiving the other, his opinion of the general had already alleviated from the bottom. His first reaction towards him was no longer violence.

It was now only a close second.

Although despite saying that, he still wasn’t sure how to react to this or what emotions he should feel. Of course, there’s confusion and annoyance, maybe even a bit of anger. In short, it’s complicated.

Now, he didn’t know what to do with these complicated feelings. It’s like wanting to punch the other, but since he knew that he shouldn’t, it only felt like there’s something crawling under his skin. Making him uncomfortable. That kind of feeling.

Reas thoughts were cut off when a teacup was placed in front of him. He raised his head and saw the general sitting down after he set the teacup. He looked at the tea, then at the man now sitting in front of him.

He had a lot of questions in his mind, but for some reason, the first words that came out of his mouth was;

“Why are you wearing an apron?”

The two blinked at each other after that question was asked. Reas quickly felt awkward, wanting to slap himself for asking that out of all the things he could have asked.

Wulfric seemed unfazed though and answered honestly, “I’m making lunch for Aster.”

Although he seemed like he wasn’t affected on the outside, Wulfric was panicking a bit on the inside.

After following that advice about reading romance novels, he did his homework and downloaded a ton of romance novels to read. He hadn’t put them into action yet since he hadn’t finished all of them. But it seemed that he had to search for pertinent information related to this kind of situation.

The moment he saw Reas walking in, two novels quickly came to his mind—[My Overprotective Brother] and [The Princess Pampered by All].

Obviously, Aster was very much loved by his family. As how he had observed when they first met. Not to mention, this guy here, Reas, definitely had a huge brother complex.

According to those novels, if he didn’t want a tumultuous road to love, he had to be on the good side of his soon-to-be brother-in-law. Because this guy would definitely be the first one who would get in his way. The second ones would probably be his mother-in-law and father-in-law. But that’s another problem he had to deal with later. What he should deal with now was Reas.

That’s why he had been very welcoming since earlier. He even brew the other tea. That’s huge, since he had never brewed tea for anyone before. Not even Aster.

Should he inform Reas of that? Maybe it would be a plus point and the other would look at him favorably.

“Does the general know how to cook?” Reas asked, disbelief written all over his face.

“I’m learning.”

There was this one romance novel where the male lead was a cold, domineering CEO. He cooked for the person he’s pursuing and it surprisingly had a very good effect. That’s why he decided to also learn how to cook. Not to mention, he also wanted to let Aster taste his cooking.

Reas did not respond and just drank the tea. The moment he did, bitterness spread in his mouth. He grimaced and almost spit out the tea. It took him a few seconds to even swallow it all.

“If we go by this tea, I suggest we just have food deliver,” he said honestly.

“That bad, huh?”

Reas nodded. And then asked something he should have asked when he first saw the general here. “What are you doing here, General?”
