Chapter 46 Calliope let out a sigh of relief. “I’m glad you do. The rings, well, I thought the ones we bought before were a bit too big and flashy for everyday wear. So I found this pair. I really like the style. What do you think?” “If you like
Chapter 45 Calliope really hadn’t planned on taking the stuff Portia had prepared for her. But Portia was insistent, practically shoving the bag into her hands. “You got this! I know you can win Silas over p> By the time Calliope returned to the Myers Manor, it was already late.
Chapter 44 Gideon had been in a funk for the past few days, probably without even realizing it himself. The truth was, Calliope had been on his mind a lot. Maybe it was time she figured out a way to marry him already. Yvette squinted thoughtfully. If she could only
Chapter 43 Gideon strolled into the jewelry store, and as he spotted Calliope examining a pair of rings, his face darkened. “Those rings aren’t cheap p> He had assumed Calliope was just accompanying Portia, who was the darling of the Sutton family. It made sense for Portia to be shopping
Chapter 42 Gideon was out shopping with Yvette, his arms loaded with bags filled with things he had bought for her. As they turned a corner, they suddenly came face to face with Calliope and Portia. “Well, isn’t this just my unlucky day p> Portia glanced at Yvette before turning
