Chapter 30 Silas didnt say a word , just raised his hand to press hers .
Once I give something away , I never take it back .
Huh ? Its yours now .
Silas looked at her , a hint of something like irritation in his eyes .
But … He didnt let her finish , striding ahead with purpose .
Calliope carefully followed behind Silas .
Well , thank you , I guess ? You can consider me your husband , just like the agreement says .
Silas came to an abrupt stop , and Calliope , not expecting it , walked right into his broad back .
Her body pressed against his , and she could feel the warmth radiating from him , solid and reassuring .
Calliope froze , her heart racing in her chest .
Silas turned around , and since she hadnt moved , she found herself directly in his embrace .
His arms were warm and strong .
For a moment , Calliope was dazed , feeling it was strangely familiar , an inexplicable sense of safety creeping over her because of him .
Even though he intimidated her a bit , she couldnt deny the comfort he brought her .
He had always seemed like some sort of unapproachable figure to her , but right now , he seemed like a guardian angel , always there to protect her .
Looking up , she met his eyes .
Silas inadvertently locked eyes with her , and his heart started beating faster .
Feeling the heat rise to his ears , he quickly took two steps back .
I have some work to do in the study .
You should rest .
With that , he turned and almost fled to his study .
Calliope watched him retreat so hastily and felt a chill settle in her heart .
Silas must dislike her touching him .
Was he upset ? After standing there for a moment , she glanced at the door next to Silass study .
Adah had mentioned that she could go into any room except that one .
Silas didnt allow anyone in there , not even Adah to clean .
Whatever was in there was clearly super important to him .
Calliope speculated that it might have something to do with the woman he deeply cared about .
She couldnt help but wonder what kind of woman wouldnt be interested in a man like Silas or what kind of woman he couldnt win over .
There was a pang of melancholy in her heart .
Calliope returned to her room , washed up , and went to bed .
Meanwhile , Silas sat in his study for a long time , trying to calm his wildly beating heart .
He forced himself to suppress the urge to get closer to her .
He knew she hadnt fully let go of Gideon ; she 1/2 16:10 Chapter 30 probably still cared about him and was only with him to provoke Gideon .
If he showed any emotion , he feared she would be frightened .
He couldnt let her be afraid .
That night , Calliope once again dreamed of her past life .
She dreamed of being beaten until she was barely conscious , her body covered in bruises and blood .
She begged for mercy , desperately trying to protect her dignity .
She dreamed of calling out for help , but no one came to her aid .
She heard her brothers laughing with Lisette , celebrating a birthday .
She dreamed of Gideon watching a movie with Yvette , ignoring her calls .
She felt so cold , shivering as she hugged herself tightly .
Then , suddenly , a bright light surrounded a figure approaching her .
She couldnt make out who it was , but the figure came to her , bending down to gently embrace her .
She felt warmth and a sense of peace .
