Chapter 371: She Thought She Was Immune Already
Thankfully, Irene managed to calm down before she returned home. Leslie and Calix told her to try to enjoy the incoming Dragon Boat Festival. She also was welcomed to Graceville Manor anytime she felt like coming.
"Thank you again, Irene..." Leslie smilingly hugged the teenager before Irene got inside the car, "Just tell us if you need anything... Don’t hesitate, en?"
"I will surely come again soon," Irene returned Leslie’s hug. The swelling of her eyes had lessened, "I want to chat with you and play with Poppy."
"Bye-bye, Little Auntie Irene~" Calliope waved one hand at Irene as the other held the toy Mimo, "Come and play with Poppy."
"Hehe, I will~ Perhaps once summer break starts!"
Irene crouched down to hug Calliope next. Her young niece felt so soft and small in her arms. The little one returned the embrace.
"Stop crying ah," Calix referred to Irene’s slightly reddened eyes. Putting both hands into his pants pockets, he teasingly added, "I should’ve recorded when you cried just now. It’ll be a funny video."
"Urgh, it won’t be funny!"
Sticking out her tongue, Irene hurriedly got inside the car. Uncle Raymond had been waiting behind the wheel, ready to send the teenager back to Sunnyside Ridge.
"Bye-bye~ Have a good festival!"
Irene wound the window down, waving her hand happily at the family of three.
