"What a beautiful child she is."
A soft sigh escaped Old Madam Xu's mouth, looking fondly at Calliope smiling at the camera. She gently touched the screen as if wanting to caress the little one's face, her countenance brightening more.
"Oh~ Hehe, she's so adorable ah. Aiya! She takes after Leslie the most but, her eyes and nose look like yours, Calix."
Old Madam Xu's old eyes began picking up Calliope's physical similarities with Leslie and Calix. Immense joy chased away her lingering shock upon seeing the little girl's photo.
Calliope's bright smile reminded Old Madam Xu of Calix's childhood self, specifically of the ones when he appeared so angelic on the outside yet actually thinking of wreaking havoc.
Sigh, hopefully, this little Calliope wouldn't inherit her father's mischievousness much.
"She looks so pure ah! Definitely takes after Leslie more!"
I dedicated the last line for both Leslie and Charlene :') and to everyone who finds the ladies' struggle mirroring theirs
