Chapter 557: ANOTHER WINNER
WULFRIC almost jumped up in his seat when he heard the presenter called Aster’s name. If he hadn’t already anticipated this outcome, he might have already done that. But the bubbling happiness he felt for the other didn’t diminish. He was so happy; he didn’t even mind that so many people hugged Aster.
He watched as Aster walked towards the stage. It was a good thing that he had already programmed the projector while waiting for the award show to start to take screenshots of Aster every time he appeared on the screen. This way, he could solely focus on watching Aster.
The smile on the other’s face as he accepted the trophy and stood in front of the mic was one of genuine happiness. It was one of his true smiles which was not comparable to her ‘business smile’ – the one he often showed to work-related events and stuffs. Which just showed how happy he was right now.
Knowing this, Wulfric also became much happier.
Aster started to give his speech, and Wulfric listened with apt attention.
“I am deeply honored and incredibly grateful to the Silver Moon Awards for this extraordinary recognition. My heartfelt thanks to Mr. Mark Rogers, the casting director who saw potential in me and to Director Trevane, who trusted me with this role, and to the cast and crew whose talent and dedication brought this project to life.
“To my family and friends, your unwavering support has been my anchor. This achievement wouldn’t be possible without you. And to my Starlights…” he paused and then look at the camera with a soft smile, “My number one fan, thank you for your constant encouragement. This award is as much yours as it is mine. I appreciate each and every one of you. Thank you!”
Wulfric blinked. Although Aster did not mention him, why did it feel like he was talking to him when he said ‘my number one fan’? Was he perhaps referring to his fan account? Did Aster know it was him?
He quickly denied that. How could Aster know it was him? He was very stealthy and hadn’t given any indication that he was ‘White Wolf’ or that he even had a [Cyberspace] account. So, really, unless Aster had the ability to read minds. Which was very doubtful.
Although both of them had SSS mental strength, he would still be able to feel if Aster ever used his mental power on him. Which thankfully, he never did. He couldn’t say the same about him, though.
Since when they first met, he tried to use his mental power on Aster. Which was the main reason he was able to find out that the other had that level of mental strength. Being reminded of how much of an asshole he was back then, he once again thanked all the gods, if there ever was one, that Aster gave him a second chance.
He’s still a work in progress, though.
Although this progress was exclusively for Aster, a progress was still a progress.
Wulfric watched as Aster walked behind the stage. As the other gave a final smile to the camera, a smile also appeared on Wulfric’s lips.
“Congratulations, Aster.”

Before getting back to his seat, Astrid met with Ellis backstage. The other was, of course, very happy for his win. As evident from the big grin on her face. She then took the trophy and the envelope from him.
