Visiting His Wife's Maiden Home

At a quarter before six, Calix and Leslie headed out of the CEO's office. Their destination was Jadeite Peak where the Li family's ancestral home was.

All of the gifts had been loaded into the car by Edward. Once again Leslie was amazed by the number of gifts Calix got. She shuddered as she imagined how much all of them cost.

Once they got inside the car, Calix contacted Rowan. They had a short conversation on the phone.

"Father said he'll be waiting for us. I mean, me," Calix put down the phone. He buckled the seatbelt while looking at Leslie, "How is it? Did I sound like a good son-in-law?"

Leslie smiled faintly, a subtle awkwardness flickering in her eyes. Instead of answering Calix, she came up with a question of her own.

"Are you going to address my parents like that now? Father and Mother?"

Leslie couldn't get used to the idea yet. Rowan and Bianca were her parents now because she almost—soon—would occupy their real daughter's body.
