"Haa... time to go back."
Leslie smiled seeing Calix's downcast look. She also felt the same as him.
"Won't we return... here soon?"
Leslie's question was met with a smile by Calix. He nodded.
"Of course! Playing with the kids is much better than dealing with adults."
Laughing in helplessness, Leslie agreed with Calix's remark.
No matter how much Leslie and Calix wished the good time with Calliope to stay, it eventually came to an end. Despite feeling discouraged, each of them wished to return here sooner than expected.
The spouses and their entourage prepared to go back around two o'clock. They had been staying at the orphanage from early morning. Several hours had passed since then.
Most children had already drained of their energy including Calliope. Some of them bid farewell to Calix and Leslie before going inside to nap, unable to keep their eyes open anymore.
