Chapter 290: The Beautiful Summer Night Marked a New Beginning
Calliope donned a pair of light yellow pajamas after having a bath. White bunny and red strawberry prints added colors to the clothes. She loved the frilly hems of the pajamas, chanting how cute it was.
Before bringing Calliope to Graceville Manor, Calix had made a few arrangements for her including preparing some clothes, towels and toiletries. He was tempted to buy everything for the little one but, Leslie persuaded him out of it.
"We can take Calliope shopping... with us later... She’ll be happier to choose herself..."
Calix agreed after thinking of Leslie’s idea. They could spend more quality family time with their daughter as they tried to settle her in comfortably.
Dangling her short legs from the bed, Calliope hummed to a tune. The echoes bounced off the bedroom walls. She happily let Leslie comb her hair after wiping it dry.
Both the mother and daughter changed into sleepwear already. They were enjoying the intimate time between the two of them before dinner.
"Mama’s gown is yellow like Poppy’s~ Papa wears yellow too?"
Asking in a sing-song voice, Calliope wondered about Calix. Her question earned a chuckle from Leslie as she slowly ran the brush through her daughter’s long hair, taking in the lingering sweet berry scent of Calliope’s shampoo.
"Poppy can ask Papa when... we have dinner later..." suggested Leslie, her lips blossoming into a smile, "Poppy wants Papa and Mama to... accompany Poppy to sleep, right?"
The image of Calix sleeping like a statue last night came to Leslie’s mind. She bit her lower lip, trying not to laugh out loud.
"Yup! Yup!" Calliope burst into feats of giggles, her whole face beaming with anticipation, "Poppy wanna sleep together with Mama and Papa last night but~ Poppy wanna sleep with Ruby, Daisy and many friends too."
