Chapter 456: Irene’s Sicily Trip
While Calix was preoccupied with his new findings about Nicholas Wu, Leslie and Calliope were waiting for Irene that afternoon.
Having just returned from her trip to Sicily, the teenager was eager to share the souvenirs and stories. She also would stay the night at Graceville Manor.
"Little Aunt Irene~"
"Poppy! I missed you!"
Irene had just stepped into the house when the little dumpling Calliope ran to the high school girl. Leslie chuckled in helplessness seeing how her daughter acted.
The Li family was still drowning in a mountain of problems but, Irene wasn’t affected by it. She enjoyed her summer vacation abroad well, something Leslie was thankful for.
"How have you been, Irene?" asked Leslie while gesturing at Irene to come inside, "Let’s head to the lounge first. Aunt Wendy made some puddings for us."
"I’m as good as ever," declared Irene, her whole face beaming with joy, "Big Sister! I have sooo many stories to tell! Poppy, let’s go!"
Raising both of her short arms, Calliope chanted, "Go go!"
Irene held Calliope’s hand in one palm while the other carried a huge paper bag. They followed Leslie as the lady walked, one slow step at a time, with the help of her cane.
As the three ladies of different ages sat on the comfy couches, Aunt Wendy came bringing a tray of iced drinks and strawberry yogurt puddings. The little Calliope salivated upon looking at the pink desserts.
