Win My Husband Over to Find My Child

[COMPLETED] ---------- 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!

Only Time and Hearts Would Tell

Despite being conscious of how much closer they were as of late, Leslie tried not to put any mind to it. She told herself Calix was simply being more thoughtful to her because she was his wife.

But...

The more Leslie tried to ignore them, the glaring the subtlety in Calix's actions.

She knew he was always an approachable and courteous man yet, her eyes gradually detected the tiny—different—signs in his behavior whenever the matter involved her.

The little and fleeting brushes of his fingertips on her hands.

The hints of affection in his voice as he talked to her.

The different light in his eyes as they brightened at the sight of her.

At times, he seemed to be as composed as usual while in another, seeing him reminded her of a shy high school boy.

'Calix likes me. He does.'

At first, Leslie excused herself by thinking this was bound to happen. After all, Calix and Charlene would fall in love later in the story, but...
