Chapter 54: Wanna Duel Me Someday?
Leslie was reminded of something. Staring at Calix, she said, "I hid something in your car trunk. I don’t want them to know I took it."
Even if Calix didn’t know, Leslie had no problem hiding the diaries once they reached Graceville Manor tomorrow. She simply told him because she didn’t want to keep more secrets from him.
Unless the necessary ones she was concealing now; about her relationship with Calliope and her true self.
"...it’s not drugs, isn’t it?" Calix pretended to wince. He randomly rubbed his left arm.
"Hehe, who knows," Leslie laughed, deciding to play along with Calix’s jest, "Don’t be afraid if suddenly police stop your car later ah. Let your legal team handle it."
Calix scoffed. Turning around, he opened the windows wide, letting fresh air circulate inside the room. Then, he sat on the edge of the bed. His eyes scanned the rest of the room.
Leslie’s bedroom was much simpler than Calix expected. He didn’t know whether it was due to her taste or because of how Old Madam Li treated her and her family as a whole.
When the patriarch or matriarch disliked certain people within their own family, the outsiders wouldn’t treat them with much respect. Even the helpers working for them dared to ignore them.
Calix slipped one hand inside the pocket of his jacket. He revealed something familiar in his palm.
"Want a candy?"
Leslie was amused. She reached out for the strawberry candy, "Thanks, CEO Xu."
