Leslie spent the entirety of the morning entertaining Mrs. Wang and Alfred. Delight flickering in the ladies' eyes, replacing the initial sadness. The ambiance of the lounge also became better.
Sitting side by side this time, the two ladies of different ages shared more stories about themselves. They didn't forget to enjoy the tasty snacks prepared by Aunt Wendy as they chatted.
At the same time, Calliope invited Alfred to play a few jigsaw puzzle games. The recently graduated young man had his back hunched as he picked the puzzle pieces under the little dumpling's encouragement.
Aside from stories about their lives so far, Leslie also inquired about Mrs. Jiang. She couldn't forget the cruelty exhibited by the older lady toward Charlene years ago.
What Leslie learned from Mrs. Wang intrigued her, also flooding her heart with a sense of satisfaction.
