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 Chocolate Museum Trip

After tucking Calliope to sleep that night, Calix shared the details about his meeting with Mr. Guan this afternoon with Leslie. She quietly listened to him as they cuddled on the swing chair on the balcony.

"There's not much we can do for now aside from looking for Nicholas. I've tightened the security. More eyes will be watching us. It'll be uncomfortable but, it's the best measure so far."

Calix let out a heavy sigh. He pulled Leslie closer to him, seeking her warmth. Her head nestled in the crook of his neck.

Her warmth was not the only thing that helped in alleviating his tension. Her sweet, comforting scent and the rhyme of her heartbeat also ease his uneasiness.

Hearing the evident concern in Calix's voice distressed Leslie. She reached for one of his hands, interlocking their fingers together.

His calloused palm grazed on her soft one, fitting perfectly with each other.
