Chapter 263: The Day of Revelation

The calm morning sky on the next day was a stark contrast to Leslie and Calix's inner turmoil. The closer the time to meet Calliope, the tenser their nerves became.

Both Calix and Leslie tried to soothe their worry but, none of their attempts succeeded. Losing their appetite, they barely touched the breakfast prepared by the chef.

"Should we go there earlier?" asked Calix quietly as he moved his eyes from the bowl of porridge to Leslie. 

"...let's. I can't stand waiting... anymore."

Agreeing with Leslie, Calix told Logan to drive them to the orphanage. They were half an hour earlier than the expected departing time. Calix didn't forget to inform Director Li about the slight change.

Neither Calix nor Leslie talked much during the ride. Logan and Mrs. An also didn't ask the spouses anything, understanding this was a critical moment for Calix and Leslie.
