“It’s not that. I just know you’re busy. If it’s something I can handle myself, I don’t want to bother you,” Calliope said sincerely.
“I’m your husband. You’re supposed to lean on me,” Silas replied, sounding a bit frustrated. “When you need something, I should be the one you turn to. If you’re in trouble, I want to be the first person you call, not anyone else.”
Even if she could handle things on her own, he wished he could be the one standing by her side, helping her through it. She was so capable, so independent, he barely ever had the chance to step in. And honestly, that kind of bummed him out.
Calliope looked over at Silas, cautious. “Are you mad at me?” she asked, inching closer, cheeks puffed out as she spoke softly. “I didn’t mean to, it’s just... you’re always so busy. I don’t want to make things harder for you.”
“It’s not hard for me. Helping you makes me happy,” Silas said, still a little sulky. “I want to do these things for you. I want you to rely on me.”
They’d been married for years, but whenever trouble came around, her first instinct was always to handle it herself. Whatever it was, she’d deal with it without ever coming to him. She could easily just let him take care of things, but she never gave him the chance.
“Don’t be upset,” Calliope pleaded, exasperated.
If she started bringing everything to him, wouldn’t he get annoyed?
If it was something she could fix herself, why bother anyone else?
Sure, he wasn’t exactly “anyone else,” but if she kept pestering him with every little thing, who’s to say he wouldn’t get tired of her one day?
“Okay, how about this,” Calliope said, trying to make peace. “From now on, whenever something comes up, even if I can handle it, I’ll talk to you first. I won’t just go off and do things on my own. Even if I don’t need help, I’ll check in with you, alright? If you’ve got time, you can help me. If you’re busy, then I’ll take care of it myself. Deal?”
“Silas?”
“Honey?”

Oh wrestling expert ey? So is this Khamzat Chimaev or Shavkat Rakhmonov? Because Khabib's would be too haram....
Oh no. Million is just mix of Conor McGregor, Islam Makhachev, Mike Tyson, Max Holloway, Anderson Silva... I bet he lands 5sec flying knees like Jorge Masvidal too. Oh nope, 1sec knees. And has faster left hooks than Alex Pereira. Definitely would win UFC championship in every weight division including women. Poor Zhang Weili....
Okay so.... Million is now from East. Arctic wolf from East, modified genetically so he can manage his own Instagram and probably also box like Mike Tyson and snapping left hooks like Alex Pereira....
This is starting to be the same twister of abilities as Cassandra Yates and Tiffany. But question is, why the hell Silas can't just open his mouth and tell Caliope that she's the one whom he has in his heart. He would prevent a lot of misunderstanding. Seems like despite capability of talking with modified arctic wolf, she's not like telepathic....
Oh no, so FL is again another hidden genius with both hemispheres working on hundreds... Ffffuuuu. Cassandra Yates and Tiffany were already enough, ughugh. And Tiffany was even more exaggerated than Cassandra....
That's weird, in the first chapters there was said that her bio parents and bros doteď on Caliope but then they adopted Lisette, but this chapter suddenly says otherwise. Did author forget what he wrote?...
I REALLLYYY REALLLYYYY REALLYYYYYY WANT TO SLAP THE 3 BROTHERS WHENEVER THEY OPEN THEIR MOUTH !!! AND THEIR MOM !!!...
Why has this not been updated ?? there were 5 more chapters which was released and it has not been updated.. Please do update on regular basis......
