Chapter 464: To Focus On Themselves

’Don’t be so nervous, Leslie!’

Biting her lower lip, Leslie felt heat emanating across her face. If not for the bubbles filling the bathtub, she would see her own reflection tinted with blush on the water.

Leslie couldn’t help but recall the intense moment she shared with Calix last night. Unlike usual, he didn’t mask the overflowing desire he held within him.

And tonight... what she anticipated would happen.

’Calm down, you silly.’

Leslie quietly berated herself. Leaning forward, she hugged her legs submerged in the water. Her long hair clung to her back, entirely damp.

The floral scent of the bath bomb Leslie dropped in the tub earlier lingered in the air, cloaking her figure in its fragrance. Surrounded by the aroma, she closed her eyes.

’Today was so much fun.’

Leslie thought with a smile. Throwing her eyes to the wide window of the bathroom, she looked at the sun slowly descending to the horizon.

The clock pointed to six in the evening when Leslie stepped inside the bathroom earlier. She had just returned from playing at the beach with Calix and Calliope.

The streaks of violet, ruby and amber scattered on the clear sky, giving off an ethereal sensation.

As suggested by Calix yesterday, he brought Leslie and Calliope to venture around the island in the morning. They packed some breakfast before heading out at sunrise.

Calix, Leslie and Calliope rode a truck driven by the former. They had a picnic in an area ten minutes from the villa. Then, they strolled around the beach while picking up seashells.

As the hours went by, Calliope’s new seashell collection continued to grow. The dumpling couldn’t wait to share them with her little cousin Amelia.

At noon, the family of three returned to the villa, all sweaty yet happy from their short adventure. They had an early lunch before getting some rest.

A certain dumpling came running to Leslie and Calix’s bedroom a few hours later. Calliope whose energy was fully recharged from her nap, wanted to go play at the beach again.

Calix and Leslie granted the little one’s wish.

Calliope knew she had to stay with Aunt Wendy and Uncle Raymond tonight because her papa and mama would go somewhere else.

The little dumpling simply asked Calix and Leslie to promise to bring her to play at the beach again tomorrow.

After draining the tub, Leslie carefully stepped on the anti-slip mat while holding the rails installed in the bathroom, heading to the shower cubicle. She sat on a stool while rinsing the soap and dirt away from her body.

’I’ll meet him downstairs later... I guess, another candlelit dinner.’

Calix told Leslie to meet him in the living room at seven in the evening. He got ready in another room to give her some privacy.

Aunt Wendy waited outside the bathroom to assist Leslie in getting ready. A beautiful Grecian-style white dress was waiting to be worn by the young lady.

Soon, Leslie emerged from the bathroom, wearing a bathrobe. Aunt Wendy hurried to her side before leading the lady to the vanity table.

"Mrs. Leslie, let me dry your hair," said Aunt Wendy once she stood behind Leslie, her face beaming, "Do you wanna braid your hair? Or, just let it be?"

"Just let it be. Oh, please insert some flower clips," Leslie smiled shyly, unable to look into Aunt Wendy’s knowing eyes, "Thank you, Aunt Wendy."

"Hehe~ Leave it to me!"

Aunt Wendy thoroughly dried Leslie’s damp long hair before applying some cream to her locks. She carefully clipped some red roses on the young lady’s hair.

"Mrs. Leslie, time to wear your dress."

"En."

Standing opposite the full-length mirror, Leslie smilingly stared at her own reflection. The white dress was aligned with her taste. The flowy skirt billowed around her as she moved, the hem grazing her ankles.

Leslie finished her look with cherry pink lipstick. A pair of white sandals complemented her outfit.

"You look very beautiful tonight, Mrs. Leslie," Aunt Wendy sighed in awe upon seeing Leslie in the white dress, "Hehe, Mr. Calix will keep falling in love with you ah."

A lovely shade of pink left a tint on Leslie’s cheeks. Smiling shyly at Aunt Wendy, she uttered, "Thank you for helping me get ready, Aunt Wendy. And also for taking care of Poppy tonight."

"We don’t have much to do either," Aunt Wendy replied, referring to herself and Uncle Raymond, "Hehe, we enjoy our vacation here but, the old bones like us can’t really stay still and do nothing ah."

Chuckles slipped out of Leslie’s lips. She understood what Aunt Wendy meant.

Both Mr. and Mrs. Fu didn’t let Uncle Raymond and Aunt Wendy assist them, either in preparing the meals or doing other chores. The Fu sposes reminded the latter to simply enjoy the rare vacation.

Aunt Wendy and Uncle Raymond were more than happy to take care of Calliope when Calix and Leslie were away. The young man planned to bring his wife to stay the night somewhere else instead of in the villa.

Leslie and Aunt Wendy headed downstairs when the clock almost struck seven. Walking out of the elevator, they heard Calliope’s excited chatter coming from the direction of the living room.

"Oh! Mama’s here! Mama~"

The happy dumpling ran to Leslie, her entire face beaming with joy. Calliope quickly hugged her mother’s legs, laughter escaping her little mouth.

"Mama~ So beautiful like a fairy ah!"

Twinkles sparkled in Calliope’s eyes as she genuinely praised Leslie’s beauty tonight. She couldn’t help but think of the fairies she saw in picture books and children’s movies.

"Thank you, Poppy."

Leslie reached for Calliope’s head, giving her daughter gentle pats. Her heart swelled with pride upon being praised by her adorable child.

"Hehehe~"

Grinning, Calliope didn’t let go of Leslie’s legs. She rubbed her chubby cheeks on the skirt of the Grecian-style white dress.

"Poppy, you’re wrong ah," came Calix’s voice, pulling Leslie and Calliope’s attention, "Your mama is more beautiful than a fairy."

Blushing, Leslie threw a look at Calix. The man simply laughed before shrugging. He also adorned a white outfit like her; both the dress shirt and loose pants were in the color white.

"Oh~ Papa’s right!" Calliope was quick to change her mind, "Mama is moreee beautiful than a fairy!"

A helpless Leslie could only look at the pair of father and daughter. Calix and Calliope wore the same grin on their faces.

"Well, it’s time for Mama and Papa to go," Calix crouched opposite Calliope, bringing the little one into his arms, "Don’t be naughty, okay?"

"Hehe, Poppy won’t be naughty ah."

Leslie also gave Calliope a hug, feeling a little sad to stay away from her daughter tonight.

"Let’s play at the beach tomorrow," uttered Leslie as she smooched Calliope’s chubby cheeks, "Do you wanna look for seashells again, my darling?"

"Poppy want! Wanna pick more pretty seashells~"

Hand-in-hand, Calix and Leslie headed out of the villa while waving at Calliope. Aunt Wendy accompanied the little one by her side. A truck was waiting for them on the driveway.

Exchanging a smile with each other, Calix and Leslie knew tonight was the time to focus only on themselves.
