Charles, frowning, stared at the diary on the table in front of him, and now he has been sitting here for half an hour.

"Gugu~Gugu~Gugu~Gugu~" The mechanical gear bird suddenly emerged from the pendulum clock interrupted Charles' thoughts.

He gritted his teeth, quickly opened the diary, and found the glittering self-portrait that Anna left behind.

"Shishi, Shishi?" his fingers patted on the drawing.

The wriggling deformed tentacles emerged from the inside, followed by liquid green eyes with full pupils. When these things quickly gathered, a little loli about one meter tall stood in front of Charles.

"Shanshan, what are mom doing there now?" Charles half-squatted down and asked softly, touching her head with his hand.

"She was eating, she looked very hungry and ate a lot very hard." Shanshan replied truthfully.

"Oh..." Charles nodded.

After thinking for a while, he said to Shanshan again: "You go back and tell her that Dad wants to sit down and have a good talk and let her come over."

After blinking his eyes, he disappeared in front of Charles in an instant.

A few seconds later, she appeared in front of Charles again, "Mom said she didn't want to come."

Charles sighed and said again: "Then tell her, dad apologizes, dad knows he is wrong, I shouldn't quarrel with her, we both should handle this matter carefully."

Shanshan disappeared again, but this time she came back faster. "Mom doesn't want to talk to you now."

Charles sighed slightly. He knew that Anna was really angry. This was the first time that the two had a conflict between them.

Anna has been silently giving for him. Maybe she has always had the resentment in her heart, but she has not been released before.

The melancholy Charles sat on the stool, thinking about what had happened before, Anna's previous words kept echoing in his mind, and his expression showed a hint of irritability.

To be honest, if there were any other things, he could agree to Anna, but he could not agree to this matter.

This is not only the cost of sunk for thirteen years, nor is it just the Pope's somewhat illusory promise of resurrecting Lily, but more importantly, he has signed a contract with the Pope.

The contract that should have been used to bind the Pope was also a shackle on him. If he stopped now, he would die immediately under the influence of the marker relics.

Charles wanted to explain this matter clearly to Anna, but now it seems that the other party doesn't want to pay attention to him.

Just as Charles was thinking about these things, he saw that Shanshan had not left yet, standing in front of him, looking at him with his big eyes open.

Thinking back to the words in the recording of the phone, Charles squatted beside her, looking at the pair softly and said, "Shanshan, sorry? But I'm going to finish it soon. As long as I finish it, no matter what the result is, I won't make any more trouble, stay below with you."

Shining his expression was a little hesitant? But in the end she still had two little hands and threw herself into Charles' arms. "Can dad not go to the sea? Nini's dad went to the sea and never came back."

In an instant, Charles' heart seemed to be hit by something? No, why. Although he had many reasons for defense in his heart, he didn't know how to open his mouth when facing Shanshan.

Charles' hands passed through his glittering armpits and stood her in the air. He looked at her carefully. There was a hint of nervousness in the child's eyes.

Charles remembered that his father had done the same thing when he was a child, but compared with his father, Shinshan had never really been with her since she was born.

"Maybe I'm really not a good husband, a good dad." Charles said self-deprecatingly?

"Well, Nini also said you are not a good father." Shanshan nodded in approval.

Looking at Shinzhang, he kept nodding his head? Charles laughed in silence, "Shanzhang? Is it okay for us to go out to play today? It's just the two of us."

"Yeah!!" As soon as I heard about playing, my eyes lit up.

Charles held his hands together? He put his daughter on his neck and walked out strode.

In order to prevent others from recognizing themselves, Charles deliberately changed into an ordinary formal outfit.

He walked slowly on the streets of Hope Island with Shin-Shi, no different from other fathers and daughters shopping.

"For this, this is a sweet wine made from bananas. It is said to be wine, but it is actually a drink, suitable for you children." Charles handed the cup in his hand to his head.

Shanshan took it and kept licking it with her little tongue.

Charles has never been to raise a child and has no experience in this area. Fortunately, he can learn from it, and his father is a role model.

"Is it delicious?" Charles asked with a smile.

"I don't know, I can't taste it." Shanshan answered truthfully.

Charles raised his head in surprise. "What? Can't you drink it?"

"Well, I can't taste what they eat."

Hearing this, Charles put down the crab legs in his hand, which he had not considered. "Can't you taste anything you eat?"

Shanzhang tilted her head, "No, I can taste what my mother eats, it's bitter, I don't like eating that."

"Oh...so that." Charles stood in the middle of the road and thought for a while, and walked along a street on the right side of Shanshan. "Since that's the case, I'll take you to have something else."

With his memory, he came to a small store, which was a small puppet theater. Under the control of several thin ropes, puppets in different dresses were performing a drama vividly.

He was here before when he was shopping with Lily, and children would like this kind of thing.

On the stage as big as a table, there seems to be a story of a group of pirates looking for treasures.

The puppet performance is very exciting. The fingers hold things and grab props and put them on very quickly, just like a real person.

The children watched it in a circle in the stage.

Seeing that his glittering eyes were successfully attracted by them, Charles breathed a sigh of relief and just got used to seeing them.

The middle-aged man holding his son beside him laughed and said, "Man? Why haven't you seen you here before? Have you just come to Hope Island with your daughter?"

Charles had no intention of talking to others and said a few perfunctory words, but he didn't expect that the other party was still warm-hearted.

"A man like this is the one who watches it. You can bring your daughter tomorrow morning. They will play the story of Princess Sissi, and these girls like to watch it."
