Despite not knowing the details of Calix's surprise dinner plan, Leslie genuinely looked forward to it. She put more effort into dressing up after having a good and long soak in the tub.
Calix told Leslie they should head out at seven. There was another half an hour before the promised time.
"The purple dress complements you well, Mrs. Xu," said Mrs. Su while doing Leslie's hair. After a brief pause, she happily added, "You and Mr. Xu will have a great time tonight."
"Hehe, thank you, Mrs. Su..."
Blushing from the private nurse's compliment, Leslie looked into the vanity mirror. She chose a one-piece lilac chiffon dress for tonight's occasion, paired with a white belt around her waist.
The butterfly sleeves fell from Leslie's shoulders to her elbows. If she stood up, the hem would hang just below her knees. To prevent herself from falling if she tried to walk, she opted for a pair of white ballerina flats.
