Chapter 274: His Heart Melted into a Honey Puddle
Calliope’s anticipation was clear in her milky voice, catching Leslie and Calix off guard. Staring at the little girl, their heads were blank before stars glimmering in their eyes.
Calliope did cry begging Calix and Leslie to bring her along if they wanted to return home. Yet, it happened when she was distressed emotionally.
Now Calliope was in a good mood, her turbulent emotions didn’t cloud her answer.
She really wanted to be with them – her birth parents.
"Poppy..."
Leslie’s breath hitched, unable to say anything more. Pursing her lips, she tried to control the sudden waves of emotions crashing onto the shore of her heart.
"Poppy, we’ll definitely care for you. We’re your papa and mama. Let’s be happy together."
Calix’s eyes had a hint of redness as he firmly made such a vow to Calliope. He held one of Leslie’s hands while saying so to the little one.
Calliope responded to Calix and Leslie with her brightest grin, "Hehehe~ Poppy will be Mama and Papa’s cute daughter~"
Calliope’s cheeky reply earned helpless laughter from Leslie and Calix. Director Li held back from laughing, thinking how easy for the little one to catch the spouses’ hearts.
"I’ll leave now," Director Li placed her gaze on Calix and Leslie, relieved to see the look of happiness on their countenances, "If you’re bored, why don’t you talk outdoors for a change of scenery? The backyard is in a mess tho."
