Chapter 287: Any Villain's Instant Death Is Boring Ah

"Wow... why didn't my brain work like that earlier ah? I always used similar tricks on Mia before."

Leslie replied to Calix's lament with laughter, imbued with helplessness. The echo resonated in the home elevator. Her eyes shifted from his countenance to the sleeping Calliope in his arms.

"Poppy's just too excited..." Leslie tried to comfort the pitiful man, still amused by Calix and Calliope's banter before they had lunch more than an hour ago, "Let's show her the pool and... the lake after her nap..."

"Yeah, better to let her sleep first," Calix looked fondly at the sleeping child. He carefully supported her little body on his arm while the other patted her back, "Our mischievous little bun."

"Hehehe..."

Calix and Leslie had just returned from having lunch. Calliope couldn't resist her drowsiness after eating so much food. She fell asleep as soon as her father carried her.
