Female Novel
Chapter 753
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.
Ralph took his seat at the very end of the table and Cecelia took the seat to his left.
Otis and Charlotte were all seated to the right of them.
Otis respectfully got up and delivered food to everyone.
He behaved humbly and cautiously, quite the opposite of the arrogant and frivolous man in the
exhibition center during the day.
It was like he had become a completely different person.
He was never like Charlotte, who was born with a golden spoon. Instead, he was born humble, and he
got to where he was now with only his own ability and hard work.
But he found it hard for him to get any further from where he was.
Until four years ago, he caught a special opportunity, and from then on, his career went all flat out
again.novelbin
After serving the food for everyone else, he diligently served Charlotte's food.
"Charlotte, you should have some more shrimps for your health."
"Thanks." Charlotte smiled tenderly. The chopsticks in her hand kept poking at the rice in her bowl and
she seemed a bit distracted.
"Hmm. Taking care of a woman is a sign of maturity." Ralph nodded with satisfaction.
Otis was 38 years old this year and was thus twelve years older than Charlotte.
He had never got married before, but still Ralph was quite satisfied with Otis. He was honest and
introverted, and had a considerable reputation in the military. Now, Otis had been his right-hand man,
and many important matters in the Warlord Palace had been entrusted to Otis.
Ralph was getting older and his heart had not been very healthy recently. In the past two years, he had
begun to feel tired and was thinking about having a successor.
