Chapter 253: Drink Some Milk and Exercise, Get Taller!
Soon, Calix and Leslie had lunch with the exhausted yet exhilarating children. The older ones hadn’t returned from their respective schools because the time was still early. Some of them had extracurricular activities.
Director Li had yet to tell Calliope about Calix and Leslie’s plan to bring her out tomorrow. She planned to inform the little one after the spouses left.
Calliope had been wondering what kind of surprise Leslie and Calix had for her yet, she didn’t pester the spouses and Director Li. The girl had fun having lunch while chatting with the spouses.
After lunch hour, Calix and Leslie spent some more time with the children. They gathered in the breakroom together with Director Li.
The little turnip heads chattered nonstop, acting as if they were not—yet—drained from playing under the early summer sun earlier.
Director Li let the children be. They would eventually feel drowsy sooner or later. Despite already eating lunch, the little ones were inclined to fall asleep no matter what.
"Let’s play other games ah, Uncle."
"Uncle, do you know hopscotch?"
"Hey! We need to include Auntie too. She wanna play with us too, right, Auntie?"
Calix and Leslie smiled in helplessness, amused by the children’s antics. They replied to the little ones as much as they could.
"Hopscotch is good too. But, can your short legs beat mine ah? Why don’t you drink more milk and get taller first?"
