ASTRID smiled helplessly. "So, you waited until we leave the restaurant? What if I decided to go back with my friends?"
Wulfric shrugged as he started the car. "It didn't matter. At least if I saw you leave with your friends, I know that you would safely go back home."
With one of Aster's friends being the favorite son of Viscount Campbell, there's no way their security would be lacking. But he still stayed outside and waited just in case Aster didn't go back with them. And it seemed that his decision was correct.
But what our sometimes clueless prince didn't know was Astrid purposely didn't leave with Snow and Kiran because he had a feeling that he might be waiting for him. And Astrid was indeed correct.
