Cecelia had already prepared the meal. All sorts of dishes were placed on the table. There were roasted ducks, braised prawns, steamed crabs, and all kinds of fresh seasonal vegetables, and next to them there was even a bottle of well-aged red wine.
When Otis met Cecelia, he saluted, bowed, and greeted her politely and courteously, "Good day, Mrs. Heath."
"No need for that! We are a family now, just come on over." Cecelia greeted him with a smile.
Otis changed his shoes at the door and walked in, but still he was wearing his daytime uniform. Today, after the Artificial Intelligence Summit at the International Exhibition Center, he returned directly to the Warlord Palace. Today the Heaths were gathering for dinner, and as usual they called him as well.
Charlotte came down the stairs and saw Otis. Her eyes flickered slightly and she gritted her teeth gently, but still, she smiled lightly at him.
Otis walked up to Charlotte in a gentlemanly manner and offered her his hand.
Charlotte, in turn, placed her hand in his palm.
Otis led her down the stairs to the dining room and thoughtfully pulled out a seat for her.
To an outsider, he took care of Charlotte in every possibly way. He was just what all men should be like.
Charlotte was just about to sit down.
Ralph returned at that moment, and Otis rushed forward to greet him, and he diligently took the cane from Ralph, as well as his hat and jacket.
"General, I'll do it." Otis hung up Ralph's military jacket and put his hat away.
Charlotte called out respectfully to Ralph, "Daddy."
"Hmm." Ralph responded coldly, his face expressionless.
"Everyone is here now, so let's all sit down and eat." Cecelia greeted everyone warmly and served the last dish, a pot of fragrant chicken soup.
