Chapter 206: Just Think of Them as Talking Statues
Leslie remained tense the closer she and Calix got to the Begonia Room. Even though his previous words managed to soothe some of her strained nerves, a few still lingered.
How would their first—physical—meeting be?
Charlene didn’t have any good memories of Rowan and Bianca. Even though Leslie didn’t personally experience the former’s disappointment and loneliness, the feelings were similar to what she went through in her previous life.
Despite Rowan and Bianca showing signs of positive changes, they were not enough in front of decades of mistreatment.
’Keep yourself together, Leslie.’
Clasping her hands together, Leslie willed herself to be calm. She didn’t want to act unsightly as soon as she saw the group of people waiting inside the room.
Rowan and Bianca were not the only ones there. Vernon and his family also attended tonight’s family dinner.
’Stay calm, Leslie. Nothing will happen. Talk a bit, have a meal together then leave.’
Butler Gu walked ahead of Leslie and Calix. The other helpers dispersed, one of them led Mrs. An to another room while Logan went to chat with the bodyguards stationed at the ancestral home.
Peeling his gaze from the back of Butler Gu’s head, Calix quietly looked at Leslie from behind. She kept her back straight, expressing how tense she was on the inside.
Seeing how taut Leslie was brought a helpless smile to Calix’s lips. As he thought about how to lower her uneasiness, an idea struck his mind.
