Chapter 311: Trust in His Power to Clear up Her Messes
Leslie exchanged her new number with Rowan and Bianca on the first night they met at the Xu family’s ancestral home[01]. She did it after convincing herself to get to know them better.
After all, Leslie assumed she could forgive them on Charlene’s behalf. Never did she expect her anticipation to come crumbling down the very next second.
Soon, Leslie learned the extent of misery Charlene was forced to endure throughout her entire pregnancy[02]. The helpless young lady even attempted to end herself!
Knowing how Rowan and Bianca turned a blind eye toward their eldest daughter’s torment disgusted Leslie to the core. She cut every chance of reconciliation, unable to stomach herself to be around them.
"I didn’t block them... I just ignore their calls and messages..."
Leslie told Calix what happened when Calliope was bathing. They sat on the couch in the former’s bedroom, vaguely listening to the sound of water splashing from the washroom.

"Want me to tell them anything?" asked Calix, not surprised by Leslie’s reluctance to keep in contact with the Li spouses.
Calix was slightly baffled to receive a call from Rowan because the middle-aged man rarely contacted him. After he picked up the call earlier, Rowan subtly inquired about Leslie.
Calix simply said he was busy doing his own stuff. Rowan didn’t press further, much to his relief. The call ended in less than two minutes.
Leslie pursed her lips, unsure how she should respond to Calix. Despite wanting the Li family to pay for what they had done to Charlene, she was not well-versed in planning revenge.
"...I don’t know, really," uttered Leslie, sounding a little disheartened. She gazed at Calix with worries swirling in her eyes, "They’ll surely hear about Calliope... once we announce her existence, right?"
