Chapter 57 Gideons face was a masterpiece of conflicting emotions .
He glanced at Calliope as if he didnt recognize her .
He had assumed she was going to sweet talk him , maybe even apologize .
After all , she loved him so much , didnt she ? Was she still mad ? Did she really just treat him like that ? Gideons eyes were a swirl of emotions as he looked at Calliope .
Calliope … Mr.
Baker , youd better treat our lady with respect , or Ill have to take action .
Damien stood firm , his expression stony , ready to step in at any moment .
Gideon knew how formidable Damien was .
As Silass bodyguard , Damien rarely intervened , but when he did , nobody could withstand his attack .
Gideon didnt want to get hit by Damien , nor did he want any trouble with Silas .
Reluctantly , he got out of the car with a huff .
Once outside , he realized he was on a deserted road , not a taxi in sight .
Gideons expression grew even darker .
Damien shut the car door , got back in , and drove away , leaving Gideon standing there , watching the cars taillights disappear into the night .
Calliope ! Shes been acting like a lunatic lately .
All because he didnt show up at the wedding ? Was this really necessary ? He pulled out his phone and called for someone to pick him up .
When Gideon finally dragged himself home , exhausted and fuming , he was greeted by Fleur , who gave him a curious look .
Gideon , back already ? You just left not long ago .
She had barely made it home before her son returned .
Had Calliope agreed to his terms so quickly ? It wasnt impossible ; she was always a pushover , willing to settle for peanuts .
Gideon didnt respond , his face set in a grim mask as he changed his shoes and headed inside .
Fleur soon noticed his foul mood .
Whats wrong ? Didnt reach an agreement with her ? Shes already taken the money.
Surely , she cant still refuse to marry you , right ? Fleur frowned .
Is Calliope really that shameless ? Im tired .
Im going upstairs to rest , Gideon muttered , before trudging up to his room upstairs , still seething .
Meanwhile , Zelda and the rest had returned home too .
Having barely had anything , the three asked the housekeeper to whip up a meal .
At the table , Zelda couldnt shake a nagging feeling .
Honey , do you think she reached an agreement with Gideon ? Weve taken Fleurs perks , and if they didnt settle things , Fleur might want them back .
Lisette , too , was perplexed .
When had Calliope gotten so shrewd ? Both families had tried to appease her, yet she remained steadfast .
In the past , not even Gideons affairs and mistreatment could drive her away .
She was hopelessly devoted to him , a textbook case of blind love .
1/2 09:41 Chapter Could someone like that really change overnight ? She loves Gideon so much , and shes taken the money and the dinner .
Surely , shell come around and be good with Gideon , Monty chimed in .
Though , I must say , that dinner was quite a hit to the wallet … thats a lot ! Zelda shot Monty a look .

I just feel like shes not quite the same .
Shes always had that temper , Monty shrugged .
Alright , lets just eat .
Calliope returned to the Myers Manor , feeling pretty good .
Damien had invited the guys over for a feast , and she mingled with them , chatting away for a while .
