Silas held Calliope’s hand as they walked back into the house.
When he and Eamon played chess, Silas had Calliope sit right beside him. Every now and then, he’d peel a grape and pop it into her mouth, doting on her in a way that made it crystal clear to everyone just how much he adored her.
Yvette watched them with a look that got darker by the minute.
Gideon couldn’t help but watch Calliope too, regret gnawing at him. Even though he knew he didn’t stand a chance anymore, he couldn’t stop himself from wondering—was there any way she might want to come back to him?
But the more he saw them together, the more he realized that was just wishful thinking.
He couldn’t even bring himself to divorce Yvette now. All he could hope was that when Yvette’s baby was born, the Baker family would care about the kid. Maybe then, Silas would let him back into the Baker Group, for the sake of the child.
Working for his friend was exhausting and thankless. He was getting tired of being pushed around.
Things were so much better back at the Baker Group, when people actually respected him. Back then, he was still the Baker family’s golden boy—people looked up to him.
Now? He was practically trampled into the dirt.
Especially by the people he’d once offended—now they all took every chance to kick him while he was down.
Gideon and Yvette both sat there, each stewing in their own thoughts, eyes flickering toward Calliope.
Calliope, meanwhile, was all smiles. She chatted with Eamon every so often, then whispered quietly with Silas, the two of them sharing private jokes.
After a while, Eamon looked up from the chessboard and grinned at Calliope. “Hey, Callie, isn’t it about time you and Silas had a baby?”
“Huh?” Calliope blinked in surprise, glancing instinctively at Silas.
Silas just told Eamon, “We’ll let things happen naturally.”
Eamon huffed, but didn’t push it.
After finishing two rounds of chess, Eamon stretched and said, “Alright, I’m done for tonight. I’m beat!”
“Then get some rest,” Silas replied, not coddling him.
It was getting late anyway. Everyone started to leave the old house.

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......
