Chapter 188: Isn’t Your Husband Romantic?
"Oh, welcome back, Mr. Xu."
Calix waved one hand, acknowledging Mrs. An’s greeting. His attention went elsewhere instead of the private caretaker.
Unable to believe his eyes, Calix couldn’t pry his eyes away from the sleeping Leslie in the wheelchair. Putting both hands on his waist, he felt helpless laughter bubbling up his mouth.
"What’s she doing here?"
Despite asking Aunt Wendy and Mrs. An, Calix’s heart had already whispered the answer.
"Mrs. Charlene insisted on waiting for you. She told me and Mrs. An not to worry about her," reported Aunt Wendy. Her tone had a hint of laughter as she continued, "Seems like she can’t wait to see you."
When Leslie said she would like to wait for Calix’s arrival, Aunt Wendy and Uncle Raymond couldn’t help but worry. Mrs. An was also the same. The former had never stayed up this late.
But, Leslie’s insistence made the three older people relented.
"Mrs. Xu has just fallen asleep," Mrs. An moved from the couch near Leslie, standing a few feet away from Calix, "She kept asking whether you’ve arrived or not, Mr. Xu."
Slowly crouching opposite Leslie, the glint in Calix’s eyes softened. He reached out for one of her hands, lightly touching her fingers.
"I’ll carry her upstairs. Mrs. An, bring the wheelchair for me."
