Chapter 125
"I don't have a daughter like her!" Zelda wiped her face, her voice bursting with anger. "From now on, Lisette,
you're my only daughter. I'll never acknowledge her again!"
There was a glint of something sharp in her eyes, a finality that couldn't be mistaken.
She was determined to sever all ties with Calliope. She had doubts from the beginning about having this
daughter, and after all these years, Calliope had only let her down.
This time, Zelda's fury was beyond measure. She made up her mind to announce at the birthday party that the
Jewell family would cut off all relations with Calliope.
Zelda wanted the whole world to know she didn't have such a daughter. Lisette was more than enough for her.
At Kirin Fondue.
Calliope looked at Silas, surprised by his sudden appearance. She wondered how he even knew she was there.

Silas looked at her intently, his gaze a mix of warmth and concern. He ruffled her hair, a gesture filled with
affection and worry. "Why did they cto see you?"
He had planned to surprise her but hadn't expected to witness such a scene. Zelda and Valerian showing up at
the diner to make a scene was beyond infuriating.
Calliope explained briefly, her eyes meeting Silas's.
Zelda's harsh words echoed in her mind a mother and a brother condemning her, saying he'd regret marrying
her. Truth be told, her reputation wasn't great around here.
Yet, Silas stood by her.
"Did you believe what they said?" Calliope asked, her eyes searching his flawless face.
"Why would?" Silas replied firmly. "I know exactly who you are, betterz than anyone else. Whether your
reputation is good or bad, it doesn't matter. You're Mrs. Myers, my wife, my woman."
"But... even my mother says I'm no good. Doesn't it ever make you
doubt or waver?" Calliope's eyeal, net
glistened like stars in a dark sky.
"That's because she's not deserving," Silas said softly. "Are you upset?"
Calliope shook her head. She hadn't been, but how Silas treated her, compared to how they did, stirred
something inside her.
"Even if the whole world turns its
back on you, I'll still be here." Silas gently brushed her cheek. "You're the best, the most beautiful and
extraordinary to me. No oneo compares."

"Really?" Calliope looked into his deep eyes, feeling like she was gazing into an abyss.
He was so sincere, so earnest, it was hard not to believe him.

Calliope's lips curled into a smile. Whether his words were true or not, she chose to believe them.
"You haven't toldwhy you clooking for me."
"I wanted to give you a present," Silas said with a hint of mystery. "It's here now. Want to see it?"
"What kind of present?" Calliope asked, intrigued by Silas's surprise visit to the diner.
"You'll see. Do you have stnow?" Silas inquired, his eyes twinkling.
"It's not here?" Calliope was curious about what Silas had in store for her.
