Win My Husband Over to Find My Child

Chapter 8: The Male Lead’s Rich Supporting Character Friend

Chapter 8: The Male Lead's Rich Supporting Character Friend

Leslie was bored staying inside the bedroom without anything to do. Even though she really wanted to explore the manor, she had to hold herself back.

"Don't wander outside this room. I'll show you around the place later."

Those were Calix's words before he walked out of the room.

Like her who needed time to think about how to voice out that important request, he also required moments to accept her strange presence.

Right now, Leslie was floating above Charlene's body. She intently took in the little details of the latter's appearance, the one reflecting her new physical traits.

"She's a beauty," Leslie whispered softly. She still remembered her short meeting with Charlene before, "But... why did she look so hopeless back then?"

A desperate Leslie was easily persuaded by Charlene when the latter kept telling her to transmigrate into her body.

"Take my body, use it to find your child and live a new life with her."

"I want to be free. You need to get into a body if you want to find your daughter. Why don't you just transmigrate into my body and live my life? Of course, I won't take it back from you."

When Charlene was coaxing Leslie, she showed no signs of regrets. Her intention was clear. She no longer wanted to be bound to her own life.

Frowning, Leslie shifted her eyes to Mimo. The fox toy was sitting on a couch facing the bed.

"Hey, Mimo... Her soul is still in there, right? She's still breathing. But, what happens after I enter her body? When will she go?"

Mimo lifted its head. Its eyes, which were simply round black beads met Leslie's.

|It's up to her. She might wander between worlds or, settle in another with a new identity.|

"You don't know or can't tell me?" asked Leslie again. This time, she brought up the points she needed to know.

Mimo paused momentarily before replying, |Both. There are certain things I can't tell you. And, I don't know everything either.|

Its answer was vague. Even though it was not helping, Leslie didn't want to force anything out of the fox toy. Perhaps, Mimo was bound with some rules unknown to her.

"It's okay, Mimo. I'm just wondering about it."

What happened today had mentally and physically drained Leslie. A wave of exhaustion started hitting her.

"It's night already."

Leslie glided in the air, heading to the closed French doors. Once she passed through the curtain and solid glass panels, the soft ray of moonlight basked upon her.

Lifting both of her hands, Leslie spread out her palms. A smile was carved on her lips.

"His mansion is this grand. I can't imagine Xander's place. Sigh, being the male lead's rich supporting friend is good enough already."

Leslie propped both hands on the railing, arching her body forward. It was hard not to be envious of these characters' wealthy lives when hers was full of struggle.

Well, perhaps she could ask Calix to give her a job recommendation later. She still needed money to raise Calliope.

With CEO Xu's influence, Leslie was positive that she could get a good one. Bitterness flashed in a second as she remembered her previous life.

Despite struggling to take care of Calliope alone, Leslie was able to graduate with flying colors. Her soft skills also were exemplary.

Yet, more often than not, the positions she was aiming for went to people who came through the backdoors. Fortunately, she was able to secure a teaching position at an elementary school.

"Hurm... I think even this world has..."

A loud scream cut off Leslie's words.

"ARGH! What are you doing there? It's dangerous!"

"...?! Ack!"

"Ow!"

In the momentary confusion, Leslie felt sturdy arms pull her by the waist. Before she could register what was happening, she already fell against a hard surface.

Just...

The solid thing was not the marble floor. It was a certain young CEO's six packs.

Caught in a daze, Leslie slowly understood what had just occurred. Seemed like Calix was shocked seeing her sitting on the balcony railing. In a reflex, he dragged her down.

Fortunately, they didn't fall to the floor. If not, the young CEO would be the one who suffered more.

Calix anxiously looked at Leslie. Both of his arms were still around her waist.

"What did you think? What if you fell down? Do you have a death wish?"

Leslie blinked.

"...do you forget what am I?"

"..."

Clamping his mouth shut, Calix swiftly released Leslie from his unintentional embrace.
