Chapter 440: Is He Coming Back?
Lying on the bed, Leslie silently looked at the windows. The silvery glow of the moonlight sneaked into the room, casting long shadows on the walls.
Calix was still inside the washroom, brushing his teeth and washing his face. Leslie had just come from her bedroom. Brimming with uneasiness, she quietly waited on the bed.
’Tell him tonight no matter what, Leslie.’
Leslie fidgeted with her nightgown, worrying about bringing up the unpleasant memory in Calix’s past. Even though his soul belonged to Axel, possessing Calix’s older recollections meant those were his as well.
Staring from the washroom to the ceiling, Leslie tried to soothe her inner turmoil. She knew Calix wouldn’t doubt her claims but, it was still hard to stay calm.
They need to locate where Nicholas Wu was quickly. Leslie believed that man had started lurking in the shadows, patiently waiting to bring Calix and his family to their downfall.
Mimo was still restricted from exposing everything to Leslie but learning about Nicholas’ existence and incoming appearance was already a great help.
The crochet fox toy mentioned giving Leslie other details but, it was not the right time yet. Mimo itself was unsure when would it be.
In the original storyline, Calix didn’t know about Nicholas until it was too late. It was a reason why he made a narrow escape before returning victoriously.
The male lead, Xander displayed the prowess of his power by backing Calix. Nicholas’ revenge was crushed by the weight of Xander’s force and Calix’s tenacity.
"Sweetheart."
