Blood Doesn't Make a Family

"Mama~ Papa~"

Calliope cheerfully welcomed Calix and Leslie back. She ran deng deng deng toward the entrance.

Her parents had just stepped inside the manor. Aunt Wendy, Uncle Raymond and Mrs. Su followed from behind.

The time was still early for a weekend night. It was slightly over nine.

"Welcome home, Mr. Calix and Mrs. Leslie."

"Should we prepare anything for you both?"

Leslie and Calix thanked the three people before saying they were good. Aunt Wendy, Uncle Raymond and Mrs. Su retreated to give the family privacy.

"Hehe, did you miss us?" Leslie hugged Calliope once the little one threw herself at her, "What did you have for dinner?"

"Poppy miss Mama and Papa~" Calliope giggled when Leslie lightly pinched her chubby cheek, "Poppy eat honey chicken and carrot! Also rice!"

"Surely with dessert too, didn't you?"
