(MC POV)
The dinner at Brendan's house passed without much incident. I got to talk to his father who turned out to be quite a charismatic fellow with a keen mind for doing business. No wonder he managed to turn his predicament around so quickly.
The mother was also very sociable, talking to my girls like they had known each other for a long time by the time dinner was over.
His siblings were also rather cute, obviously not as cute as Cai Hong but they were adorable in their own right on how they looked up to Brendan as their big brother.
Dill had initially wanted us to stay the night with his family but I declined in the end, stating that it would not be a good idea to impose on him any further.
I gave Brendan the option to stay with his family that night and he thanked me profusely for that. It seems like they have a lot to talk about after being away for so long.
