Chapter 95 “Enjoying the view?” Silas asked, his strikingly handsome face turning toward her. Calliope felt her cheeks flush bright red, and she quickly averted her gaze, flustered. “It’s all yours to admire, touch, or do whatever you like,” Silas continued, stepping forward with a playful grin. The bathroom was

Chapter 94 How could it be her? Yes, it was her. Gideon thought he must have gone mad, mistaking Yvette for Calliope. Yvette looked at Gideon, her eyes red and damp. “Gideon, you hurt me p> Gideon felt a wave of nausea as he looked at Yvette. He was on

Chapter 93 “Will you marry me?” Gideon suddenly lifted his gaze to Yvette, asking the question out of the blue. “What?” Yvette got caught off guard, her voice tinged with surprise. “Gideon, what did you just say?” “Yvette, will you marry me?” Gideon’s eyes were intense, locked onto hers. He

Chapter 92 She had shed her playful demeanor, gaining a gentle beauty instead, like a rose on the wall, suddenly blooming at its most beautiful moment. Gideon was disgruntled. She loved him so deeply, yet everything had changed overnight. “You think your position will be secure just with a baby?”

Chapter 91 Gideon stood among the crowd, listening to the jokes about Calliope and Silas. Each laugh and teasing remark felt like a thorn in his side. He couldn’t help but wonder-if he had been the one to marry Calliope, would those comments have been directed at him instead? Were

Chapter 90 “Gideon, if that woman could make you ditch your wedding on the very night, I’d say you’re pretty smitten with her. Why don’t you bring her home sometime? If you settle down, the gossip will die down too.” “Grandpa Gideon found himself in a tight spot, feeling the

Chapter 89 Sunday evening. Calliope was heading to the family manor with Silas. She wore a long, white sweater, layered with a coat. Her long hair was partially pinned up with a clip, cascading like a waterfall down her back. When she was quiet, she was truly striking. Calliope walked

Chapter 88 “I mean, what’s wrong with having a healthy relationship with my husband? Jealous much because you can’t have it? My husband is better than you in every way, even there, his is bigger than yours! Yeah, he knows how to make me happy! We’re a perfect match, unlike

Chapter 87 Calliope was on the verge of just walking away. She couldn’t wrap her head around it. She used to adore Gideon, did so much for him, yet he was always so elusive, like a shadow she could never catch. She rarely knew where he was. He never even

Chapter 86 Quentin let out a sardonic laugh. “No man would ever leave his bride at the altar to run off with another woman p> “That’s because Yvette’s in danger!” Gideon said, furrowing his brows with a touch of exasperation. “I owe her, and I can’t just ignore that. It’s

Chapter 85 Quentin and the other two felt genuinely distressed for Callie. Though Callie never explicitly stated the reasons for marrying Silas, they all sensed it was out of sheer necessity and compromise. At the heart of it all, it was Gideon’s fault. On the day of the wedding, he

Chapter 84 “My eldest brother,” Calliope said. “Not Horatio, right?” Silas asked, recognizing her mention of her actual brother. “No, my brother from the countryside,” she clarified. “You know how I was considered a bad omen as a kid and sent to live in the countryside, right? I lived with

Chapter 83 “Lisette, my legs… they’re going to be okay, right p> In the restaurant, Horatio couldn’t quite shake off his unease. He’d spent too many years confined to a wheelchair, years he’d rather not recall – he’d been overlooked, pushed aside, and sometimes outright bullied. It was Lisette who

Chapter 82 She glanced at Calliope with a pout, “Callie, is that really what you’ve been saying about me out there?” Huh? She hadn’t said anything and yet here she was, slurred by Lisette without reason. “Callie, how could you say that about Lisette? Don’t you know how pure and

Chapter 81 Calliope, Quentin and Norton turned around almost simultaneously. Horatio Jewell and Valerian Jewell walked together, followed by Lisette, their eyes fixed on Calliope and her companions. Horatio’s gaze lingered on Quentin and Norton. He immediately sensed that the two men flanking Calliope were quite the formidable pair, especially

Chapter 80 Calliope nodded. “Yeah, something did happen, but it was all within my expectations, so there’s no need to get upset, guys p> She gave them a quick rundown of the situation. She assured them everything was under control. As for her relationship with Silas, things were going pretty

Chapter 79 Quentin and the other two were completely baffled by Calliope’s sudden change in demeanor. They hadn’t gone through the same experiences as Calliope, who seemed to remember another lifetime where things were different. Despite this, they always adored Calliope. The three brothers were an impressive bunch, each formidable

Chapter 78 Gideon kept his mouth shut. When someone was powerful enough, even their wrongs were perceived as rights. Silas was one of those people. Gideon felt a chill run down his spine. Still, he forced a smile. “I know you don’t care much about this, but regarding Callie, I

Chapter 77 “Mr. Myers, Gideon is here,” Fagan announced, poking his head into the office where Silas was buried in a pile of paperwork. Silas looked up briefly, raising an eyebrow. “He’s here p> “Yes, he mentioned he has something important to discuss with you. Should I let him in

Chapter 76 Archie didn’t pay any more attention to him; he simply turned around and walked away. Later, Gideon was picked up by Yvette. He was completely wasted, and as Yvette took him home, he kept mumbling Calliope’s name under his breath. “Callie, you wouldn’t fall for my uncle, right
