Calliope's innocent question still froze Calix, causing his brain to short-circuit. Unable to come up with a better reply, he continued staring stiffly at the little munchkin's round eyes.
Calliope's facial features were half clear in the dimness of the room. But, the look of anticipation in her eyes was too apparent to be ignored.
Calix couldn't help but think he would make Calliope sad if he abruptly rejected her. Even having the thought of it punched him in the gut.
Nooo!
He didn't want to break his daughter's heart ah.
But...
Giving Leslie a good night kiss?!
Sweat broke on Calix's back despite having a good air-conditioning system. The room was not affected by the summer heat at all. He was the only one sweating here.
What to do?
What should he do?
But...
The idea was so tempting ah.
