Chapter 477: The Family He Yearned For
The next morning, Calix brought Leslie and Calliope to the Xu family’s ancestral home. The ambiance was warm and cozy as the little one continued talking from the backseat.
"Mama! Poppy think this look like a tiny horn ah."
"Poppy will give this pink one to Mia. Mia love pink like Poppy ah."
"Ohhh! This color look like sunset!"
A happy little dumpling couldn’t help but chirp endlessly about her precious seashell collection, the one she wanted to share with her loved ones soon. She had been thinking about which shell to give to whom.
Calliope admired the colorful seashells through the transparent lid of the new box gifted by Calix. She held the container with both hands, placing it on her lap.
As always, Calliope didn’t forget to bring Mimo along. She asked Calix to strap the crochet fox toy beside her. Mimo sat on the backseat, buckled by the seatbelt.
Soft chuckles came from the front seat. Leslie turned to look at Calliope while Calix glanced through the rearview mirror. Both of them wore the same fond smile on their lips.
"Your Great-Grandma, Mia and everyone will love the seashells as much as you do, Poppy," said Leslie, her words spoken with affection for her young daughter.
"Wow~ My buttercup has indeed found great treasure ah," Calix chimed in, shifting his eyes back to the road ahead, "Don’t forget to share your stories about our trip, okay?"
The husband and wife shared the same sentiment. They enjoyed seeing and hearing how excited their little daughter was, also feeling proud of her eagerness to share her treasure with her loved ones.
