Chapter 8

I stay smiling as a homecoming party is suddenly going on in front of me – I don’t know when and where these people came from, but I can only be thankful at this point.

“I’m impressed you managed to do this with limited time, my daughter,” my father remarked as he approvingly nodded at the taste of the food.

“So, you knew there was no time to prepare for this party,” I grit my teeth as I held back the urge to say the phrase in his face.

“Darling, you should eat,” I hear Walter whisper to me as he sat down – I have much to ask him, but I can save it for later.

“Thank you for this,” I mutter and he simply smiled and faced my father. His words were smooth and he had a great sense of humor – it looked like my father had a great time talking to him.

I start to eat, but I stop when I taste the food. “Looking at the food now, this seems like it was from a high-end restaurant,” I thought as I relish the pleasure of indulging the food in front of me.
