Chapter 218: Immortalizing the Precious Moment
"Mr. Xu."
Director Li gestured to her office, welcoming Calix. The man headed inside first, followed by the older woman. She closed the door shut.
Most people were outside but, Director Li didn’t want to risk anyone hearing them. None of the staff and children knew about Calliope’s true relationship with the Xu spouses.
"Do you want to talk about Calliope returning to your family?" asked Director Li without beating around the bush. She stared at Calix who sat opposite her.
"Yes," Calix nodded once, his brows tensed, "About our daughter’s return."
Director Li raised her brows, already anticipating the topic, "You may talk, Mr. Xu."
"Thank you. I want to..."
While Calix and Director Li talked inside the office, Leslie continued having fun outdoors. The cheerful air of celebration shrouded her, uplifting her mood further.
The children went all out playing in the bouncy castle. Some of them got hooked by the booths manned by the volunteers. The others kept going to the buffet table, unable to resist the dessert temptations.
Mrs. An was at the face-painting station. Leslie encouraged her to enjoy the day instead of just taking care of her. She was happy to see Mrs. An enjoyed playing with the children.
"Aunty! Aunty!"
