In the following months, changes gradually happened in the manor, filled with anticipation, love and tender moments. Every day was a celebration of life as they expected their newest member.
Leslie’s pregnancy was relatively smooth. She was fortunate enough to escape the worst of morning sickness, only experiencing mild fatigue in the early weeks.
Calix, ever the loving and doting husband, took every opportunity to support Leslie. He often put on his chef hat. He treated her cravings as urgent missions no matter the hour.
Despite Leslie trying not to bother Calix too much at midnight, the man still woke up without fail and delivered the tasty yummy to quench her hunger.
One memorable night, Calix woke up from a gentle nudge. As he opened his eyes, he saw the sheepish look on Leslie’s face, faintly illuminated by the underbed lights.
"Sorry, honey, but... I kept dreaming of waffles. With lots of strawberries and whipped cream ah. Also, chocolate drizzle."
The vivid descriptions of the waffles elicited laughter from Calix’s mouth. Propping himself up from the bed, he responded, "Seems like the baby will be another strawberry lover ah."
"Hehe, seems so~"
Leslie insisted on following Calix to the kitchen, saying she wanted to admire her husband as he prepared the waffles for her. Unable to resist his wife, Calix could only agree.
CEO Xu cooked more than ever during the duration of his beloved wife’s pregnancy.
Meanwhile, Calliope was ecstatic about the idea of becoming a big sister. Her excitement was palpable.
