Charlos was silent for a moment, blocking the way. His mother pushed Charlos to come forward. He walked on forcefully, following the waiter already a few meters in front of him.
Charlos's heart trembled, making him feel as if a thorny stick was crushing him. What if Rissa saw him? The problem now is that Charlos isn't here just to hang out and have a regular meal. This was a dinner of two families that were barely brought together.
Charlos thought his girlfriend was resting at home. But how can Rissa sing here? Rissa didn't tell him anything at all.
The Kawijayan family had gathered there. Everyone got to their feet except Gavin. Well, he looked sluggish and uninspired in stark contrast to Michael, who was so enthusiastic about meeting Charlos and his parents.
Charlos blinked and tried to focus on greeting them all. Hopefully, he can act naturally in front of Michael.
"Hello, Charlos," said Michael.
