Win My Husband Over to Find My Child

Witty FL x Adorkable ML + a cute bun + a talking crochet fox ---------- After the sudden death of her boyfriend, Leslie Song has been single-handedly raising her precious little daughter Calliope. It’s a difficult life, but it’s a happy one. A freak accident puts an end to that. As Leslie lies dying on the road, watching Calliope breathe her last, she curses her helplessness. Calliope’s crochet fox seems to hear her. It opens its mouth and asks, “Do you want to see your daughter again? If so, follow me. Her soul has already left for another world.” Leslie agrees. That’s the last thing she remembers before losing consciousness. When she opens her eyes again, she finds herself—or rather, her soul—standing beside her unconscious body on a hospital bed. “How is this supposed to help me find Calliope!” she exclaims. “This is not your body. Your body is dead. This is my original host, Charlene Li,” explains the toy fox. “You can possess her body to find Calliope, but if you do, you must finish her uncompleted mission for her.” “And what mission is that?” “To marry the second most eligible CEO in the city.” ‘This,’ Leslie concludes, ‘is a scam.’ But she has no other choice. ********** Meanwhile, the second most eligible bachelor in the city, Calix Xu, is patting himself on the back for thwarting his grandmother’s attempts to marry him off. After exhausting all of his tricks and excuses, he has resorted to marrying the comatose daughter of the Li family. Calix smiles, pleased with himself, "Aren't I smart? Grandmother can do nothing now." But… why is he seeing his newly-wedded wife hovering beside her own body? Before he can react, his wife—the moving one—floats towards him. "Husband! Help me find my child!" “Your child?” Calix asks weakly before doing the only reasonable thing he can do in such a situation. He faints. ---------- WSA 2024 entry!

The Redness in Her Eyes

Current time.

The slight strain in Calix's heart eased as soon as his eyes landed on the manor backlit by the setting sun. The place he had resided in for a few years seemed more welcoming than before.

After all, Calix perked up at the idea of seeing Leslie and Calliope after a long and busy day at work.

A chuckle escaped Calix's lips as he wondered what his wife and daughter were doing. He didn't worry much about Leslie but, the little Calliope could be naughty from time to time.

Slowing down the car on the long driveway, Logan finally pulled up under the roof of the front porch. Calix immediately unbuckled the seatbelt, ready to get out of the vehicle.

"Boss, I'll be here before six tomorrow," said Logan when Calix opened the door. He referred to being his boss' driver early in the morning.

"Yes. There's no changes so far."

"Roger."
