Win My Husband Over to Find My Child

Chapter 22: His Adorable Little Cupcake

Chapter 22: His Adorable Little Cupcake

The spacious garage had different kinds and models of vehicles parked inside. All of them were polished and maintained well by a group of skilled technicians.

As Calix opened the door to get out of the car, and Leslie simply passed through the huge body of steel, two men in black-and-white uniforms hurriedly approached in their direction.

"Welcome home, Second Young Master."

"Young Master Calix, Old Madam Xu and everyone are waiting for you inside."

The two men politely greeted Calix. They seemed to be the domestic workers of this ancestral home. Both of them appeared to be around the same age as Calix.

"The Li family hasn't arrived, right?"

Calix glanced at the wristwatch, seeing that it was already six-thirty. The family dinner was scheduled to start at seven in the evening.

"Not yet, Young Master Calix," replied one of the men, "They're already on their way here."

Calix nodded in acknowledgment. He pointed to the backseat, "Take all the gifts inside the house. Be careful with them. They're for my parents-in-law."

"Understand, Second Young Master."

The two men swiftly opened the door of the backseat. They were welcomed with a sight of gifts piling there, almost everything in the red color.

"Hurm..."

Without saying anything, Calix surreptitiously glanced at Leslie, trying to communicate with her through his gaze. She almost laughed at how obviously his eyeballs moved from her to another direction.@@@@

"Do you want me to follow you? Just walk ah, I'll tail from behind," said Leslie, glee dancing in her almond eyes, "No need to act so weird."

Calix widened his eyes. He pointed at himself.

"I just... humph!"

Calix immediately smacked his mouth with one hand. He almost verbally replied to Leslie. Other people would see him talking to the air.

"Aiyo~ Someone can't respond to me, tsk tsk tsk," exclaimed Leslie. Her smiling lips had a subtle hint of smirk, "Yes, CEO Xu? Where should we go now?"

"..."

"Second Uncle~"

"...?"

The sudden calling caught Calix's attention. Leslie was not excluded.

Turning her head in that direction, she saw a little girl in a pink floral dress. Her little and chubby feet deng deng deng running toward Calix. Her pigtails bounced in the air following her movement.

"Mia! My cupcake!"

Calix's lips broke into a huge grin. He quickly carried the little girl into his arms. The girl called Mia laughed when her chubby face was showered with kisses.

Leslie immediately recognized who the cute little girl was. Mia, or her real name Amelia was the secret weapon used by Old Madam Xu to get Calix married.

Amelia was Vernon and Lucille's four years old daughter. Because she was the first child in the new generation of the main branch, everyone pampered her so much.

One of them was Calix. They were unable to meet all the time, but CEO Xu really adored his niece. Amelia also often clung to Calix even though her favorite man was her dad Vernon.

"Hehehe! Mia missed Second Uncle so much!"

Amelia's gleeful giggles echoed in the hallway. Her happiness was so infectious, making Calix laugh too.

"Second Uncle missed Mia too," Calix playfully pinched Amelia's fleshy right cheek, "Hey, have you gotten chubbier? Did your dad keep feeding you sweets even though your mom limits it?"

Vernon turned to be a typical daughter-fool once Amelia was born, much to Lucille's helplessness. The latter needed to instill stricter rules because Vernon couldn't bear to refuse their daughter's request.

One of them was regarding Amelia's eating habits. The little one loved anything sweets. Eating too much would be bad for her.

Amelia pouted. Shaking her little head, she declared, "Mia's a good girl! Daddy says Mia looks good if Mia's chubby."

Calix squinted his eyes, throwing a doubtful look at his niece.

"Oh, yeah? I'll ask your mom then..."

Calix trailed off. The corner of his eyes caught a peculiar look on Leslie's face, briefly putting him in a trance.

The way Leslie was staring at Amelia looked as if she had forgotten about Calix. Her initially cheery countenance was replaced with a sad one.
