Win My Husband Over to Find My Child

At seven-thirty, a sleek black car came to pick Calix up. Leslie followed the man dressed in a white collarless shirt with a khaki-colored suit. Their first destination was a restaurant.

"I’ve booked a room there. You better eat to your heart’s content. It’s not like you can join me eating at the cafes or bars later."

Leslie’s heart was in agony once she heard Calix’s statement. It became more painful because she couldn’t refute him at all.

Most local restaurants and cafes wouldn’t have private dining rooms. Leslie could only watch Calix sipping his wine while having local delicacies there. It was the reason the man brought her to an upscale restaurant first.

While sitting in the backseat, Leslie kept looking outside of the car. Twinkles glimmered in her almond eyes.

"Wow~ I think we passed this area on our first day here."

The streetlights basked the cobblestone sidewalks and main roads under their soft glow. Locals and tourists alike were enjoying the beginning of the night in the Eternal City.

Calix drifted his eyes to the back of Leslie’s head. His lips melted into a smile, amused to see her admiration for the scenery outside.

A slight sense of guilt pricked into Calix’s heart as he recalled how boring Leslie might feel during the long hours he was away. Thankfully, they would return home in a few days.

In fifteen minutes, the car pulled up on the front porch of a fine-dining restaurant. Calix stepped out of the car, followed by Leslie. He strode toward the host waiting by the door.

Leslie watched Calix interacting with the local man. In no time, the host called for an attendant to escort Calix to the private dining room.
