Chapter 262: Are You Worried About Her Acceptance?
Sitting alone in the lounge of the villa, Leslie quietly stared out the open sliding door. The night view of this place was good, enough for her to feel at ease. She enjoyed the pleasantness of the passing breeze.
The clock was pointing to nine-fifteen in the evening. A tranquil silence blanketed the entire area as Leslie was left alone for the moment because Calix stepped out to make a call to Edward.
Aside from Mrs. Su who was on duty tonight, the rest of the helpers had already retreated to their rooms. The bodyguards took turns patrolling the vicinity to ensure its safety.

Hugging one of the throw pillows, Leslie shifted her eyes to the glowy moon. She couldn’t help but recall one particular moment that happened during the picnic.
Intrigued by what might be in Calliope’s mind, Leslie brought up a question to the little girl. She asked her daughter after all three of them including Calix alighted the rowboat.
"Poppy, if you can have one of your wishes... granted, what will it be?"
Calliope’s response was quick. She showed no hesitation at all as she excitedly replied to Leslie.
"Play with Auntie and Uncle! Many many many times! Hehehe~"
Calliope’s infectious laughter expressed her genuine happiness. She continued jumping up and down, almost stumbling on her little feet. Calix had to grab the little one to prevent her from falling over the deck.
"Then, do you wish to be with us more often?"
Calix asked Calliope after making sure the little girl stood firm on her tiny feet. Leslie didn’t think he would follow up with that kind of inquiry.
