Chapter 249: What Happened to the Cheeky CEO Xu?
Tensed nerves made the night sleepless for both Calix and Leslie. Yet, their delightful anticipation masked their sluggishness as they were ready to leave for Frostwich Town the next morning.
It was the first day of June. As summer was finally ushered in, the temperature was warmer than usual. Fortunately, the summer rain period had yet to begin.
"Have a safe trip, Mr. Calix and Mrs. Leslie. We’ll be waiting for you two and the little miss."
"Please keep up updated about her. Don’t worry! You will surely bring her home!"
Amused by Aunt Wendy and Uncle Raymond’s way of encouraging them, Calix and Leslie laughed. They looked at the middle-aged spouses who stood outside the executive van.
"Please keep us in your prayers," Calix earnestly requested, his face beaming with joy, "We’re not sure how long we will be away. Just contact me if you have anything to tell us."

"We’ll go now, Aunt Wendy, Uncle... Raymond..." Leslie waved both hands at the older spouses. She shared the same joy as Calix, "Hopefully, we’ll return... with Calliope..."
Calix and Leslie informed Aunt Wendy and Uncle Raymond about Calliope on the previous Monday night. To say they were surprised was an understatement.
"Y-you two have a child?! And, she’s living in an orphanage?"
"Mr. Calix... were you involved romantically with Mrs. Leslie before? Is that why you two are so comfortable with each other from the start?"
Calix and Leslie decided to keep the incident of six years ago vague. They didn’t want to lie to Aunt Wendy and Uncle Raymond but, they still wanted to spare the details as well.
