Calliope chatted warmly with Verity and the others. They made her feel truly welcome, their kindness wrapping around her like a cozy blanket on a chilly autumn day.
The only exception was Gideon’s family. They kept their distance, exchanging only polite nods and the bare minimum of conversation, as if she were a stranger at Thanksgiving dinner.
Fleur Lawson, Gideon’s mother, kept sneaking glances at Calliope. Fleur had seen some things online about her—rumors, stories, little tidbits that painted Calliope in a dazzlingly impressive light.
Right now, Yvette Jansen was pregnant, which everyone made a big deal about. But every time Fleur saw more about Calliope online, she couldn’t help but feel a twinge of regret. The more time Fleur spent with Yvette, the more she realized the girl was petty, suspicious, and honestly, a bit useless.
But Calliope? She had so many connections, so much money—heck, she even owned the fanciest country club in town. The woman was a powerhouse.
If Calliope had become her daughter-in-law, Fleur thought, she would have been an incredible asset to the family. At the very least, she’d have no trouble helping her son out in his career.
But Fleur had let that opportunity slip right through her fingers. Back then, she’d been so dissatisfied with Calliope, so she’d pushed her away—and now, she was stuck with Yvette.
When Fleur compared the two, the difference was night and day. Calliope was in a league of her own, while Yvette couldn’t hold a candle to her.
Of course, now it was far too late for regrets. Calliope was with Silas now, and that was that.
Still, Fleur consoled herself with the thought that her grandchild would be Eamon Baker’s very first great-grandchild. That was something to be proud of.
No matter how much Eamon doted on Silas, or how impressive Calliope might be, they still hadn’t had a child. Maybe Calliope just couldn’t have kids! The thought made Fleur feel a little better, like balancing the scales.

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 !!!...
