She treated him so well , yet he seemed as indifferent as a cold pizza left out overnight .

And then there was Yvette .
People always said Yvette was different from Calliope , but when a man was being nice to a woman , it was rarely just a platonic thing .
Gideon , listen .
Calliope and Silas make a great pair .
You never really liked Calliope , so stop entertaining those crazy ideas ! Youre not getting any younger , you know .
Its about time you settled down .
You and that Yvette seem to be getting along well .
When are you bringing her home to meet the family ? Verity was like a kid in a candy store , watching Gideon squirm with delight .
To be fair , even though Fleur wasnt Calliopes biggest fan , she had to admit Calliope was way better than Yvette .
Not to mention , Calliope was the daughter of the Jewell family , even if she wasnt exactly the apple of their eye .
But hey , she was still a proper lady with a respectable background .
Yvette , on the other hand , was a whole different story .
She came from a small town with no notable family ties , her parents divorced ages ago , and her mom remarried three times .
Her dad was a notorious gambler .
Even though she got a college degree , it wasnt like she graduated with honors or anything .
Now the work she had wasnt something to be envied of , just a secretary from a tiny company no money , no house , no car .
Sometimes she even had to play nanny for her moms kid from her third marriage .
Just hearing about her background was enough to give them a headache .
In families like theirs , marrying into the same social standing was a given .
But Gideon ? He had his eyes on Yvette , the wild card .
Naturally , Fleur wasnt thrilled about Yvette either .
But Verity found it all entertaining .
She loved to see Fleur and the rest suffer, thinking that if Gideon actually married Yvette , it would keep Fleurs family on their toes .
If he really did end up marrying someone like Yvette , itd surely become the biggest joke in Capitalton .
Gideons face was stormy .
Sure , he liked Yvette , but he knew she wouldnt help his career one bit .
That was why hed been set on marrying Calliope , though that wedding never happened .
He glanced at Verity , wondering if Calliope would be upset if he married Yvette instead .
She couldnt possibly not care about him at all , he assumed .
Gideon squinted in Calliopes direction .
Meanwhile , Calliope had just finished a game of chess with Eamon .
You still got it , Eamon ! I concede defeat ! Calliope said with a playful salute .
You cheeky girl , always flattering me ! Eamon gazed at Calliope , his eyes twinkling with affection .
Silas , take good care of Callie .
Its getting late , you two should head home .
Alright , Silas nodded .
Calliope stifled a yawn ; she was definitely getting sleepy .
Alright , Eamon , were off .
Well come by when were free .
Good , good .
I need my rest too .
Everyone , lets call it a night .
1/2 16:10 AL .
Chapter 28 With Eamons farewell , the gathering wrapped up ..
Usually , everyone went back to their own homes ; they didnt stay at the family house except during holidays to keep Eamon company .
તેનો ભૂકો કે સુહ છે Calliope and Silas were the first to leave .
Gideons car was parked nearby , and as he was leaving , he caught sight of Silas shielding Calliopes head as she got in the car , looking at her with such tenderness .
Uncle Silas , Gideon called out .
