Chương 512: There Was No Other Truth

While waiting for Xander to speak, Leslie grabbed the dry towels hanging on the recliner chair. She put them on Calix's back before wrapping herself in another one.

'Thank you.'

Calix mouthed those words to Leslie as he realized the soft fluffy towel providing him warmth from the cool night air. She simply smiled before leaning closer to him.

Shifting his gaze from Leslie to the phone, Calix spoke, his tone hinting at a smile, "So, what is it? Have you lost your voice? Come on, I'm all ears."

"Ha! Calix Xu, you act as if you didn't lead me to a landmine."

Xander scoffed, clearly both annoyed and amused with Calix. His reaction only lured laughter from his friend.

Calix and Leslie exchanged a look. She bit her lower lip, holding back from laughing alongside her husband.

Xander most likely had uncovered more than Calix. They wouldn't underestimate the male lead's ability despite how far-fetched it might sound.
