Chapter 256: A White Canvas to Be Splashed With Brilliant Colors
"Auntie! Uncle! Good morning!"
An excited Calliope welcomed Calix and Leslie to the orphanage. She jumped up and down on her tiny feet, unable to contain her excitement. Her pigtails bounced, dancing along with her movements.
Calliope waited at the small reception area, accompanied by Director Li. She wore a light yellow short-sleeved T-shirt paired with a pastel pink suspender skirt. A white bunny holding a flower bouquet was printed in the middle.
Calix and Leslie decided to enter the orphanage building instead of waiting for Calliope at the van outside.
Logan and Mrs. An were inside the vehicle. They wouldn’t join the picnic with the spouses and the little girl. They simply followed if their presence was needed later, especially for Leslie.
"Good morning, Poppy," Calix waved one hand at Calliope, chuckles slipping out of his mouth, "Did you sleep well last night? Did you dream of eating good food?"
"Hehehe~ Poppy dreamed last night ah! Poppy had a picnic with Mimo and Auntie and Uncle."
Calliope pointed at the toy Mimo sitting on the chair, ready to be brought along. Her small face beamed with pure delight, expressing her childlike innocence.
Like a white canvas waiting to be splashed with myriads of brilliant colors.
"Good morning, Poppy... I hope you’re well too, Director Li..."
Laughing in helplessness, Leslie greeted the overjoyed little turnip head before she did the same to Director Li. The middle-aged woman returned her hello.
