Chapter 160: You Can Say I’m Close to Being Omnipotent
"How about we go out tomorrow night?"
Calix’s sudden question caught Leslie off guard. Withdrawing her eyes from the bowl of pumpkin soup sitting on the kitchen island, she blankly stared at him sitting next to her.
"Going outside... tomorrow night?" Leslie repeated Calix’s question, her tone imbued with confusion, "What for?"
From the moment Leslie regained consciousness, Calix had only brought her to the spacious yard of the manor. She also didn’t request him to bring her anywhere else after considering her current state.
Calix brought the spoon close to Leslie’s mouth, letting her taste the creamy pumpkin soup. His reasoning followed shortly.
"Aren’t you bored just strolling in the backyard? If you don’t want to visit any place, going for a short drive is good too."
Calix didn’t mind wandering in the backyard with Leslie every night. The leisurely activity ought to help her destress after staying inside the manor all day.
Aside from going to the hospital for her routine checkups, Leslie was still reluctant to step outside when it was daytime.
After swallowing the soup, Leslie asked, "That... sounds good, but... aren’t you busy? Have you... finished your work?"
Leslie was intrigued to follow Calix’s suggestion but, she recalled how he said he still had impending tasks to do this weekend. Gathering with Xander and Davin tonight meant he had less time for himself.
A chuckle slipped out of Calix’s mouth. Raising both brows, his lips curved into his signature smirk. Mischief glinted in his eyes.
