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 Only Woman For Him

Soon, Calix arrived at the Italian restaurant. The chauffeur dropped him off before going away, either waiting at someplace nearby or returning to Xu International. He told the younger man to do as he saw fit.

Office workers from the nearby areas filled the restaurant, enjoying their lunch after a busy morning. Seeing neither Xander nor Davin had arrived, Calix asked one of the waiters where the reserved table was.

"Please come this way, mister."

The waiter led Calix to a table next to the glass-paneled walls in the back, quite secluded from other patrons. The former served him some plain water before resuming his job.

Slipping his hands into the pocket of his pants, Calix leaned comfortably against the chair's backrest. He turned toward the glass wall, silently watching the passersby and vehicles moving outside.

'The food here is good. A bit different from the ones in Rome. Still, I think she'll love it.'
