By the time she arrived, Archie Yoder was already there.
He must’ve been starving, because he’d gone ahead and ordered, and was busy wolfing down a cheeseburger and fries.
Calliope poured herself a glass of water, watching him with a little amusement. “Are you okay? Haven’t you eaten properly these past few days or what?”
“I’m fine. Just been a rough week, that’s all.” Archie looked up and gave her a sheepish grin, a bit of ketchup at the corner of his mouth. “Sorry, I’m not exactly making a good impression right now.”
“Oh, please, Archie, we’ve known each other forever. You eat whatever you want,” Calliope laughed, waving him off. “So, how’s everything at home? Any better now?”
Archie’s eyes lit up. “Dad finally found out that woman’s kid isn’t his after all. Now he and her are at each other’s throats, which works out pretty well for me!”
He grinned, “Thanks to the stuff you dug up for me.”
“Glad it helped.” Calliope gave him a warm look. Archie was like a little brother to her—seeing him happy made her happy, too.
“Oh, it definitely helped. You’re amazing, Callie. Anything you find is bound to be useful.”
“By the way, I’m heading out of the country for a couple weeks—got some things to take care of. Won’t be back for at least half a month.”
“Take care of yourself while I’m gone, okay?”
“Mavis and Portia were both busy today, so you were my only hope for dinner. Speaking of, have you heard anything about Mavis and Uriah Stewart lately?”
Archie snorted. “Word is Mavis is putting the pressure on Uriah, but he’s still chasing after her like a lost puppy.”
Calliope shrugged. “I think Mavis is just ready to settle down. She used to love Uriah, waited on him for years, but now? I think she’s finally over it.”
“Yeah, well, after all this time, he never gave her a real chance. Can’t blame her for moving on.”

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......
