Chapter 29 Silas heard it , but he didnt turn around .
Only after Calliope settled into the car did he close the door and glance over at Gideon .
What is it ? Uncle , do you mean it ? Do I look like Im joking ? Gideon fell silent , his face clouded with gloom .
Youve always liked Callie ? Kind of , Silas replied , casting a quick glance at Gideon .
I should thank you for stepping aside .

Gideon was stunned , his eyes wide with shock .
Why ? Why do I like her , or why am I thanking you ? Silas tilted his head gracefully , his expression calm and composed .
Shes more amazing than you realize .
One day , youll regret it .
You barely know her , and losing her will be the biggest mistake of your life .
Without another word , Silas opened the car door and got in .
The car drove off swiftly , leaving Gideon standing there , troubled by Silass words .
What did he mean ? Was Calliope really that remarkable ? She was just a forgotten girl , always so lovesick , without a career , seemingly useless , spending her days chasing after him .
Even their marriage seemed so casual once he was gone , she left and married his uncle .
How could such a woman be exceptional ? His uncle must be blind .
Gideon smirked bitterly .
Love is blind , isnt it ? How had Calliope managed to charm his uncle ? He spent a restless night pondering , but came to no conclusion .
He didnt think much of Calliope , nor did he think Silas should .
How could someone like her marry a man more outstanding than himself , let alone his uncle ? When Calliope was with the Baker family , she and Silas flaunted their affection openly .
But once home , she felt a bit timid .
After all , there was no real emotional foundation between her and Silas .
He was likely helping her out of gratitude , as shed once helped him .
She worried that her actions might trouble him , or make him unhappy .
Im sorry , she said cautiously as soon as they got home .
Silas glanced at her , his brows knitted slightly .
Sorry for what ? For using your reputation to deal with them .
Does that bother you ? And this necklace … Thank you for lending it to me .
Ill take it off and give it back now .
The necklace was worth millions not that it was a fortune for him , but it certainly was for most people .
Calliope felt undeserving of it .
She assumed Silas was just being courteous , offering her the necklace hed just acquired .
After all , everyone knew Silas had someone special in his heart .
He was so exceptional , so flawless , yet always distant from romance it spoke volumes .
He must have gone through great lengths to acquire this necklace , likely intending it for the woman he truly *** cared about .
Taking her place and wearing the necklace felt inappropriate .
1/2 16:10 AL .
C Now her eyes , clear and bright , locked onto Silas .
Her small , delicate features , touched with a hint of makeup , made her look stunning today , like a flower blooming in the rain , vibrant and fresh .
In her haste to remove the necklace , she struggled , her face flushing with effort .
