Chapter 56 Damien , I packed all this food , most of it untouched .
Take it back to your buddies , will you ? This place has some pretty good grub ! Thanks , maam ! Damien replied , looking genuinely grateful .
Damien and Gideon then started loading the bags into the car .
Gideon had figured Calliope might want to take a stroll and chat for a bit .
But to his surprise , Calliope hopped right into the car .
Gideon looked at her , perplexed .
Werent you going to talk with me ? Hop in , well chat in the car , Calliope said , nodding towards the passenger seat .
Uh ? Gideon glanced over at Damien , a bit hesitant .
He knew Damien was his uncles right hand man .
It felt a bit inappropriate to discuss personal matters with Calliope in the car ; even though his uncle and Calliope might just be putting on an act , he still felt uncomfortable .
Mr.
Baker , you getting in ? Damien asked after a moment of waiting .
Theres a car waiting behind us .
Realizing they were holding up traffic , Gideon quickly got into the car .
Inside , Calliope was engrossed in a game on her phone , showing no intention of starting the conversation .
Gideons expression darkened .
Callie , you said you wanted to talk .
Why arent you saying anything ? What are we going to do about us ? Calliope remained silent , her fingers dancing swiftly as the sound of the game filled in the air .
Gideon was growing more frustrated by the second .
After a few more attempts to get her attention , Calliope finally looked up .
I won ! What were you saying ? Gideon was speechless .
Oh , you mentioned us ? What about us ? You mean the marriage thing ? I dont mind , but you should talk to Silas .
I have no idea if hell let me go .
Were already legally married , so Id have to get a divorce before anything else .
Maybe you could convince Silas to divorce me ? Calliope gazed at Gideon with earnestness .
Gideon was incredulous , feeling a surge of anger .
He stared at Calliope in utter disbelief .
You took my money , and now this ? I took the money , sure , but not to marry you .
It was for all the mental damage .
I made that perfectly clear , and I even recorded it if you need a reminder , Calliope said , maintaining her composure .
A persons got to be honest .
Youre not going back on your word , are you ? Or is the money that important to you ? Are you really that broke ? Calliope !!! Gideon roared , his eyes flashing with anger .
He felt utterly betrayed , played like a fool .
He had hoped she was going to apologize , but nothing of the sort happened .
Nothing is more infuriating than having hope only to see it dashed .
Gideon was seething with rage now .
Damien , he looks so terrifying ! Hes yelling at me .
Can we let him out of the car ? Calliope whimpered , shrinking into the corner , feigning tears .
