Chapter 257: Poppy Will Supervise Uncle!
The gently swaying petals of begonias welcomed Calix, Leslie and Calliope. They were simply a few among the many visitors to the lake park.
A clock tower stood in the middle of a giant fountain of the park. The needles pointed to nine-thirty. Despite still being early, hundreds of people were already there either having picnics, playing games or exercising.
Calix shooed Logan and Mrs. An away, telling them to enjoy themselves for the time being. The bodyguard said he would follow the family of three quietly, a decision agreed to by the private nurse.
As Calix didn’t want to waste any of his time to fight Logan, he just let them be. The bodyguard smirked before asking Mrs. An to follow him into hiding. His words made the private nurse laugh in amusement.
"Leslie, the pathway is quite smooth. Still, be careful ah. Don’t go speeding down the road."
Calix looked at Leslie who maneuvered the wheelchair by herself because both of his hands were occupied. His right one held Calliope’s hand while his left carried the rattan back. He also shouldered a dark gray backpack behind, holding several items for the picnic.
As for Calliope, she didn’t forget to keep hugging the toy Mimo. She wanted to bring it along playing with her soon.
Leslie rolled her eyes, purposely ignoring Calix before pointing at something to Calliope, "Poppy, hold Uncle’s hand tight... lest he’ll run like that child... over there..."
Calliope blinked, looking in the direction of a young boy running ahead of his parents. Bursting into laughter, she repeatedly nodded like a little chick pecking grains.
"Auntie, I will do it! I will supervise Uncle so he won’t run."
Calliope’s reply was met with approval by Leslie while Calix scoffed, side-eyeing the mother and daughter. The two ladies continued laughing, the melody harmonizing with the echoes of other visitors’ chatter and nature.
