Chapter 193: Could They Build Their Family Life Together?
"I think I’ve made a good decision. Isn’t it?"
The echo of Calix’s murmur was only audible to himself. Lying on the mattress of his bedroom, his gaze traced the carvings engraved on the ceiling.
"She looked so happy... I’m glad."
In the silence of the midnight, Calix recalled the rest of his conversation with Leslie that happened earlier. The surprised look on her face was vividly conjured in his mind.
"Did you... just say you want to celebrate... your birthday there? With the... children?"
Calix replied to Leslie’s question with a nod of his head.
"If you feel better, I can bring you to visit the child there. Since we’re at it, I think of throwing a party with the children. It’s the weekend so, we won’t be disturbing their schedule."
As Calix started explaining the reason, Leslie’s bewilderment gradually changed to delight. Pure joy was reflected in her eyes, unknowingly alleviating the tension that suppressed his heart.
"Yes! I want... I want to go there! Thank you, Calix... As long as you’re fine... changing your initial plan... that’s it..."
Calix noticed Leslie’s slight hesitancy behind her cheery countenance. He quickly reassured her that he did this out of his free will.
Thus, both of them had to make some changes to the family meal. Calix planned to bring it forward to Friday because they would head to Frostwich Town in Bridgeland City on the next day.
