Chapter 444: The Chocolate Museum Trip
After tucking Calliope to sleep that night, Calix shared the details about his meeting with Mr. Guan this afternoon with Leslie. She quietly listened to him as they cuddled on the swing chair on the balcony.
"There’s not much we can do for now aside from looking for Nicholas. I’ve tightened the security. More eyes will be watching us. It’ll be uncomfortable but, it’s the best measure so far."
Calix let out a heavy sigh. He pulled Leslie closer to him, seeking her warmth. Her head nestled in the crook of his neck.
Her warmth was not the only thing that helped in alleviating his tension. Her sweet, comforting scent and the rhyme of her heartbeat also ease his uneasiness.
Hearing the evident concern in Calix’s voice distressed Leslie. She reached for one of his hands, interlocking their fingers together.
His calloused palm grazed on her soft one, fitting perfectly with each other.
"That’s the best measure," whispered Leslie, reiterating Calix’s words as she tried to reassure him. Her voice resembled the calm night breeze, "I understand your worry, honey."
Instead of having a dream about Nicholas Wu as how she was with Violet and Evelyn’s incidents[01], Leslie learned about him through Mimo. The crochet fox toy explained the last obstacle.
"Won’t I get a vision about him? Like I did before?"
|You’ll receive a vision about him, Leslie. But, this isn’t the time yet.|
Leslie was frustrated when Mimo gave the disappointing answer but, she quickly recomposed herself. She was lucky enough that the crochet toy was able to share about Nicholas Wu even before she acquired the vision.
