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 Damning Evidence

Calix finished everything urgent before pushing the less important for the next day. He rushed home, wanting to share the good news with Leslie. He also intended to review the files with her.

As Calix sat in the backseat, his mind wandered to his conversation with Xander this afternoon. His heartbeat sped up occasionally before it calmed down as he imagined how the ending was near than expected.

"Papa~ Welcome home!"

Calliope ran deng deng deng to the entryway once she spotted the car moving down the driveway to the main porch. Leslie followed from behind, her steps were still slow.

"I'm home."

Calix quickly picked Calliope up, earning laughter from the little dumpling. He kissed her cheeks twice before putting her down.

"You're early today, honey," Leslie stated, her face telling Calix that she was pleased. She chuckled when the man pecked her lips.

"Work ended early," Calix replied with a smile, "Let's get inside."
