Chapter 527: The Game Had Ended
Standing by the window of the lounge, Leslie threw her gaze outside. Her eyes kept staring in the direction of the main gate, waiting for Calix to return from Vilux. Her figure was faintly reflected on the glass panel.
The time was still early, the clock had just struck eight-fifty in the evening.
Lifting her eyes, Leslie stared at the dark sky, illuminated by the moonlight. The sky was cloudless tonight, showing a clear view of the atmosphere.
’He should be back soon, right?’
Leslie received a text from Calix just now, informing of his return soon. The man didn’t tell her anything about Nicholas. She assumed he wanted to tell her personally once he was home.
Calliope’s voice echoed from behind. The little dumpling was animatedly talking to Director Li through the video call. The orphanage director’s face was clearly displayed on the tablet screen.
"Teacher Liu teach Poppy and Poppy’s friends how to make paper butterfly. Poppy make one pink and one purple butterfly."
"Linlin give Poppy marshmallow. Hehe~ Poppy give her lollipop."
Before, Calliope and Director Li, alongside with her friends in the orphanage, had almost daily video calls. The frequency had decreased to once a week now. Still, they kept in touch.
Tearing her eyes away from the window to Calliope, Leslie slowly walked to the couch where the little one sat. She sank into the plush chair, nodding slightly at Director Li.
"Mrs. Xu, the new building will be ready soon. The children were so happy when they went out buying new furniture two days ago."
