My Dreamy Old Husband

At that moment, Nathan—who was nowhere to be seen in the morning—returned with a few male students behind him. They were helping him to carry a few boxes over.

As they opened the boxes before Sophia, she realized that there were popsicles and snacks such as jellies, popsicles, and iced watermelons inside.

Holding a popsicle in one hand and an ice-cream in the other, Sophia said in a loud voice, “Come over, everyone! Get yourself a popsicle after such a tough round of training.”

This made all the second battalion’s troops cheer with joy before they rushed to queue up for the popsicles.

It was obvious that there was an influential person among this batch of students since stuff like popsicles and watermelons could even be found.

On the other hand, those troops who needed to fight for a bottle of iced water looked at them enviously. Although popsicles were sold at the commissary, they couldn’t get their hands on it every single time because the demand for popsicles exceeded their supply. Since their drinking water was supplied by Bayside University, they only had mineral water; all they could do was to chill it. However, it was sometimes a wild wish for them to chill it because they were not allowed to use the barracks’ fridge either.

Under such circumstances, how were the second battalion able to eat popsicles?!

Greatly envious of them, everyone asked the battalion commander about it. As the battalion commander did not dare to expose the existence of the influential person behind all of it, he could only fool them by saying, “The second battalion has been performing well recently, so the commanding general gave them a reward.”

As soon as everyone heard that Joel was behind this, they stopped pursuing it any further. Indeed, the second battalion had been doing great because their internal affairs were handled nicely, nobody was absent from training, and they even finished their meals swiftly—these were what the other troops could not achieve.

Everyone from the second battalion was now sitting with Sophia. They were all eating iced watermelon, popsicles, and ice creams together as they watched Richard and Xyla displaying their affection with a bottle of water—that bottle of cheap mineral water was not even chilled!

After going on for a while, Xyla scurried away because she could no longer stand the sight of Sophia eating popsicles while she could only drink mineral water.

After the second battalion finished the popsicles and watermelon given by ‘Joel’, they became energetic once more and were determined to get good results in order to thank their commanding general!

Except for the battalion commander, little did everyone know that those popsicles had been brought inside by Nathan himself.
