Chapter 436: communication

"The secret earth sea (
The frowning Charles stared at the diary on the table in front of him. Now he has been sitting here for half an hour.
"Cuckoo~Cuckoo~Cuckoo~" The mechanical gear bird that suddenly emerged from the pendulum clock interrupted Charles's thinking.
He gritted his teeth, quickly opened the diary, and found the self-portrait that Anna had left behind.
"Sparkling, Sparkling?" He tapped his fingers on the painting.
Peristaltic deformed tentacles came out from inside, followed by liquid green eyes with full pupils. When these things gathered quickly, a little loli about one meter tall stood in front of Charles.
"Shin, what is mom doing over there now?" Charles asked softly, squatting down, touching her head with his hand.
"She is eating, she looks very hungry, and eats a lot of hard." Xing Jing answered truthfully.
"Oh..." Charles nodded clearly.
After thinking for a while, he said to Shining again: "Go back and tell her that Dad wants to sit down with her and have a good talk, let her come over."
After blinking, Shining 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 you tell her, Dad apologizes, Dad knows that I was wrong, I shouldn't have quarreled with her, we two should handle this matter well."
Shining 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 conflict between the two.
Anna has been paying for him silently, maybe the resentment in her heart has always been there, but it has not been released before.
The melancholy Charles sat on the stool, thinking about the previous events, Anna's previous words kept echoing in his mind, and his expression showed a hint of irritability.
To be honest, if there are other things, he can promise Anna, but this is the only thing he can't promise.
This is not only the sunk cost of a full thirteen years, nor is it just the pope's somewhat illusory promise to resurrect Lily, and more importantly, he has signed a contract with the pope.
The contract that should be used to bind the Pope is also a shackle on him. If he stops now, he will die immediately under the effect of the marker relic.
Charles wanted to explain this to Anna, but now it seems that the other party doesn't want to bother him.
Just when Charles was thinking about these things. He saw that Shining hadn't left yet, standing in front of him, looking at herself with wide eyes.
Thinking back to the words in the phone recording, Charles squatted beside her, looked at the pair softly and said, "Shiny, sorry, but I'm about to finish it soon. As long as it's finished, no matter what the result is, I won't bother with you anymore. Stay down together."
Shining looked a little hesitant, but in the end she opened her two small hands and threw them into Charles's arms. "Can Dad not go to sea? Nini's father went to sea and never came back."
For an instant, Charles's heart seemed to be hit by something, not why. Although he had many reasons for defense in his mind, he didn't know how to open his mouth in the face of Shining.
Charles's hands passed through Shiny's armpits, standing her up in the air, looking at her carefully, the child's eyes showed a trace of tension.
Charles remembered that when he was a child, his father had done the same thing, but compared to his father at the time, Winning was born and has never really accompanied her.
"Maybe I am really not a good husband, good father." Charles said mockingly.
"Well, Nini also said that you are not a good father." Shining nodded approvingly.
Seeing Yan Xian nodding his head, Charles laughed blankly, "Xin Xing, shall we go out to play today? Just the two of us."
"Hmm!!" When I heard playing, his eyes lit up suddenly.
Charles put his hands together, put his daughter on his neck, and strode outside.
In order to prevent others from recognizing himself, Charles deliberately changed into an ordinary formal dress.
He walked slowly on the streets of Hope Island with a flash, no different from other father and daughter shopping.
"Here, this is a sweet wine made from bananas. It is said to be wine, but it is actually a drink, suitable for your children." Charles held the cup over his head.
Shining took it and licked it with her small tongue.
Charles has never brought children before, and has no experience in this area, but fortunately he can learn from him, and his father is a role model.
"Is it delicious?" Charles asked with a smile.
"I don't know, I can't taste it." Shining replied truthfully.
Charles' face looked up in surprise. "What? Can't drink it?"
"Well, I can't taste what they eat when UU read www.uukanshu.com."
Hearing this, Charles put down the crab leg in his hand, which he had not considered. "Can't you taste anything you eat?"
Shining tilted her head, "Neither, I can taste what mommy eats, bitterly, I don't like to eat that thing."
"Oh... this way." Charles stood in the middle of the road thinking for a while, and walked along the street on the right side of Shining. "In that case, I will take you to play something else."
Relying on his memory, he came to a small shop, which was a small puppet theater. Under the control of a few strings, puppets in different costumes were performing a drama in a vivid manner.
He had been here when he was shopping with Lily before, and children should like this kind of stuff.
On the table-sized stage, there seems to be a story of a group of pirates looking for treasure.
The performance of the puppets is very exciting. It is very fast to take things with fingers, grab props and put props, just like real people.
The children in a circle on the stage watched very intently.
Seeing that Xing Xing's gaze was successfully attracted over, Charles was slightly relieved, just getting used to it.
The middle-aged man holding his son on the side laughed and said, "Man? How come I haven't seen you here before, did you and your daughter just come to Hope Island?"
Charles didn't want to talk to others, and he casually said a few words, but he didn't expect that the other party was still enthusiastic.
"Adventures like this are all seen by boys. You can bring your daughter here tomorrow morning. They will play the story of Princess Sissi. These girls like to watch it."
At this moment, Suddenly, Ying Xing pointed to the small stage with her hand, "Dad, I want the little man who can move."
