Chapter 264: What Did She Dream of Last Night

Blinking her eyes, Calliope tilted her head, confused and intrigued by Calix's words. She looked at Leslie before moving her eyes to Director Li. The older woman was serving the cups on the table.

Eh... Why did everyone look serious ah?

Calliope was still a child but, she was old enough to perceive the situation around her. She couldn't help but wonder what made her favorite uncle and aunt look sad.

"Uncle and Auntie wanna talk to Poppy? About what?" asked Calliope, pointing to herself with one hand, "Why do you look sad ah?"

Calix and Leslie froze momentarily, never expecting Calliope to notice the somber ambiance around them.

Director Li said nothing as she assumed the role of a listener. She wouldn't speak until it was needed. It was better to let the Xu spouses and Calliope talk between themselves first.
