Gideon , you still have feelings for Callie , dont you ? If you do like Callie , lets call off the wedding .
I dont want to put you in a tough spot .
Gideon released her wrist , shaking his head with a wry smile .
Ive never had feelings for her .
Besides , shes my uncles wife now .
Shes off limits .
But … you and her were perfect together .
Its my fault .
I messed things up for you , Yvette said , looking down in self reproach .
Gideon , maybe we should reconsider this wedding .
You should talk to your uncle .
After all , hes your family .
Its not right for an uncle to take his nephews girl .
It doesnt matter to me … I can handle a bit of gossip or ridicule .
Even if people talk , it wont bother me .
I just want you to be happy .
Seriously , Gideon , Ive thought it through .
As long as youre happy , Im fine .
Gideon looked at Yvette , his heart softening a bit .
Yvette- Yvette looked up .
Gideon , youve done so much for me .
Even though I once saved you , you dont owe me anything .
Lets just call it even , okay ? As for the promise you made to protect me forever , you can just forget it .
Gideon furrowed his brow .
I made you that promise .
How could I forget ? I never loved Calliope .
Everyone knows shes the one I cant stand the most .
Dont worry .
Our wedding will go on as planned ! You wanted the wedding to be grander than the one I had with her , and I promised you it would be the best ! Gideon looked at Yvette , his expression determined .
Gideon , thank you .
Youre wonderful ! Yvette hugged him tightly .
Gideon instinctively wanted to pull away .
He found himself comparing Yvette to Calliope .
He used to think Yvette was leagues ahead , kind , gentle , and everything she did seemed perfect .
But for some reason , Calliopes face kept appearing in his mind .
He couldnt shake the feeling that Calliope was more beautiful , that Yvette somehow couldnt measure up .
He must be losing it .
How could Yvette not measure up ? Even Calliopes own parents didnt love her .
It must be because Silas treated Calliope so well , giving him a sense of loss , like a child whose favorite toy got taken away .
Yeah , anyone would feel bad if their toy got snatched away .
He loved Yvette .
Yvette had saved his life , and he owed her so much .
The better Silas treated Calliope , the more he should cherish Yvette to show them that Yvette was the one for him and that she was better than Calliope .
Losing Calliope wasnt a loss .
He got no shares but gained the woman he loved .
That night , Calliope enjoyed her birthday party immensely .
It wasnt extravagant , but surrounded by familiar faces and receiving gifts she adored , it felt like the good old days when Grandpa was still around .
