Chapter 151 Calliope stayed silent while Silas fixed his gaze on Gideon for what felt like an eternity .
Just a Happy Birthday without a gift , huh ? Thats a bit rude .
Dont you think so ? Gideon was stunned .
He had shown up drunk and impulsive , unsettled by Silas celebrating Calliopes birthday .
The thought of bringing a gift hadnt even crossed his mind .
Seeing her , he felt a heavy weight in his chest .
She seemed happier , more alive , without him .
Sorry , I forgot to bring a gift , Gideon said , frowning .
Thats okay .
You dont need to give gifts immediately .
If I remember correctly , youve got a place in Misty Haven .
If you gave that to Calliope , shed be quite pleased .
Silas raised an eyebrow at Gideon , Gideon hesitated , caught off guard .
Whats wrong , having second thoughts ? No , its not that … Gideon dared not defy Silas .
He knew he had to comply if Silas wanted him to gift the house .
Well , if you wouldnt mind , Calliope , the house in Misty Haven is yours .
Ill have the paperwork sorted out and transferred to you soon .
Calliope smiled slightly .
I dont mind at all .
The Misty Haven house was one she had asked Gideon to buy years ago .
She cherished it because she and her grandfather had once rented it together .
Though she hadnt lived there in a while , it remained under Gideons name .
Gideon had once promised to give it to her but never followed through .
He nearly let Yvette move in , which had sparked a big argument between them .
She never expected Silas to step in and secure the house for her .
It was full of memories of her grandfather , and she had always wanted it back .
She had thought of buying it from Gideon , but he never agreed .
He claimed what was his was hers , too .
Perhaps she used to believe that , but now she knew better .
Gideon felt a pang of frustration .
He knew how much Calliope cared about that house .
With it in his possession , Calliope would inevitably come to him because of it .
But Silas had taken matters into his own.
hands .
Callie , come over here .
Let me introduce you to some friends , Silas said softly , taking Calliopes hand .
Gideon watched as Silas led Calliope away , introducing her to his close buddies .

They all smiled warmly , showing her respect .
The scene was a stark contrast to when Calliope had asked Gideon to introduce her to his friends .
He had refused her countless times .
He thought she didnt belong and wouldnt fit in with his crowd .
But watching her easily converse with Silass friends and seeing Silas eagerly introduce her made his chest tighten painfully .
Somewhere along the line , something had gone wrong , and it frustrated him deeply .
He shouldnt care about Calliope .
And his interest had always been in his grandfathers shares , right ? He was with her because he had been forced , wasnt he ? Even though the shares were gone now , wasnt he free ? He should be happy , right ? Yes , he should be happy .
1/2 21:44 Chapter 151 There was nothing about her that would keep Silas interested .
Silas would tire of her eventually .
Gideon kept his eyes on Calliopes direction for a long time , his vision blurring with unshed tears .
