Chapter 287: Any Villain’s Instant Death Is Boring Ah
"Wow... why didn’t my brain work like that earlier ah? I always used similar tricks on Mia before."
Leslie replied to Calix’s lament with laughter, imbued with helplessness. The echo resonated in the home elevator. Her eyes shifted from his countenance to the sleeping Calliope in his arms.
"Poppy’s just too excited..." Leslie tried to comfort the pitiful man, still amused by Calix and Calliope’s banter before they had lunch more than an hour ago, "Let’s show her the pool and... the lake after her nap..."
"Yeah, better to let her sleep first," Calix looked fondly at the sleeping child. He carefully supported her little body on his arm while the other patted her back, "Our mischievous little bun."
"Hehehe..."
Calix and Leslie had just returned from having lunch. Calliope couldn’t resist her drowsiness after eating so much food. She fell asleep as soon as her father carried her.
Calliope forgot about her war with Calix right after she saw the feast Aunt Wendy and Uncle Raymond had prepared for lunch. Edward also joined them at the dining table.
The husband and wife made more dishes than usual to welcome Calliope. Because they learned the little one’s deep fondness towards strawberries like Calix, Aunt Wendy baked a strawberry pie and some mango-strawberry puddings.
"Yummy~ The pie and puddings so yummy~"
"Thank you, Granny Wendy~ Poppy loves strawberries so much!"
Calliope couldn’t resist praising the desserts as she devoured them one by one. Her sweet talk and actions inevitably made Aunt Wendy and Uncle Raymond like her more.
