“Our relationship with Grandpa was never great. Honestly, it’s not weird that he left everything to you. It makes sense.”
“I don’t think Grandpa did anything wrong. And I don’t think you did, either. He gave it to you, so it’s yours. I think he really saw you as his granddaughter, for real.”
Ulysses looked at Calliope.
“I know you’re mad at the whole family. I’m not here for forgiveness. I just want you to know where I stand. I’m on your side.”
“Really, you don’t have to worry. I’m always with you. I’ll try to talk to the family, too. I won’t let them drag your name through the mud.”
Ulysses gazed at Calliope for a long moment.
Calliope shot him an indifferent look and said, “You done? If you are, I’m leaving. Don’t bother me again.”
“Yeah.”
As Calliope walked away, Ulysses couldn’t help but follow, half wanting to say more but holding back.
Calliope got in her car, ignored him completely, and just drove off.
Ulysses watched as her car disappeared down the street, letting out a long, weary sigh. He knew there was no fixing things between Calliope and the Jewell family now. That bridge had burned for good.
When Calliope got home, Silas was already there. She opened the door to see him in the kitchen, tying on an apron.
“Babe, help me with this?” Silas called out.
Calliope walked over, tied the apron strings for him, then wrapped her arms around his waist and looked up at him.
Silas met her gaze, and in the next second, they were kissing—long and deep.
After a while, both of them started thinking about things other than dinner.
“Still wanna cook?” Silas asked, half laughing, half exasperated.

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......
