Dealing with a Stubborn Male Lead is Troublesome

'What if Xander still heard about it?'

Leslie couldn't help but think of that possibility. She quietly looked at Calix who focused on his driving. He seemed unbothered by their sudden meeting with Violet earlier. 

As if sensing he was being watched, Calix briefly stared at Leslie through the rearview mirror. Raising his brows, he smiled lopsidedly.

"What? Are you thinking about Violet?"

Calix's question was replied to with a soft hum by Leslie. Before verbally responding to him, he glanced at Calliope. The little one was napping in the child's car seat, unable to beat her drowsiness.

"I was just thinking... what if your friend still heard about it?" whispered Leslie as she stroked Calliope's head.

Leslie didn't doubt Violet's promise. She was simply wondering about the plot shifting because of the changes brought by her and Calliope's presence in this world.
