Although Donna did everything she could to make dinner as sumptuous as possible, it couldn't hide the stark reality of their food shortage. After all, supplies on the island were rationed now, no matter how much money one had.
When Donna and Nini brought the dishes to the table, they had already changed into the best clothes they owned out of respect for their guest.
Charles looked down at his own somewhat shabby jacket. Compared to them, he felt like a beggar.
Dinner went smoothly. For Shanshan's sake, Charles did his best to act as normal as possible, just like an ordinary father visiting his daughter's friend's family. The meal was a pleasant affair for both host and guest.
After dinner, Charles stayed and chatted warmly with the two of them for a while before finally leaving with Shanshan.
The moment the door shut, Donna and Nini both let out a sigh of relief and privately shared their impressions of Charles.
"Shanshan's dad is so fierce, just like a villain."
