Chapter 172: Which Answer Did He Want?
Calix had just left Harmony Haven Orphanage when he received Irene’s text. Its content slightly shocked him.
[Irene: Can I visit my sister this weekend?]
[Irene: I haven’t seen her since you two got married]
Calix hadn’t been in contact with Irene much after he returned from Rome. He wondered what made the teenager come up with such a request.
Was Irene deeply missing her elder sister? It was a highly likely guess.
Staring at Leslie, Calix could tell she also was startled by the sudden request coming from Irene. This would be the first time the high school girl visited Graceville Manor if Leslie agreed.
Calix got married to Leslie in late March. Now, it was the beginning of May.
"We haven’t told both our families about your recovery," Calix pointed out, wondering what Leslie’s decision be, "If you’re not ready to meet any of them yet, I can make up excuses."
Calix remembered how fondly Leslie talked about Irene before. The relationship between the sisters was good, much to his delight.
Leslie couldn’t rely on Rowan and Bianca thus, having a younger sister who genuinely cared about her was a good thing.
But, Calix didn’t want to pressure Leslie into meeting Irene. She was still in her recovery state. Everything lay in her answer.
