Thankfully, Irene managed to calm down before she returned home. Leslie and Calix told her to try to enjoy the incoming Dragon Boat Festival. She also was welcomed to Graceville Manor anytime she felt like coming.
"Thank you again, Irene..." Leslie smilingly hugged the teenager before Irene got inside the car, "Just tell us if you need anything... Don't hesitate, en?"
"I will surely come again soon," Irene returned Leslie's hug. The swelling of her eyes had lessened, "I want to chat with you and play with Poppy."
"Bye-bye, Little Auntie Irene~" Calliope waved one hand at Irene as the other held the toy Mimo, "Come and play with Poppy."
"Hehe, I will~ Perhaps once summer break starts!"
Irene crouched down to hug Calliope next. Her young niece felt so soft and small in her arms. The little one returned the embrace.
