GoodReadChapter 158
"Mr. Myers wants to introduce you to the company staff. You should probably make an appearance, or how will
anyone know you're the CEO's wife?"
Calliope nodded thoughtfully. "Oh."
She glanced over at Silas, who wore a serious expression.
There was an indescribable feeling in her heart. When she married Silas, she had prepared herself for all sorts of
scenarios.
But she never imagined Silas would be so good to her.
She had thought that, with their marriage being more of an arrangement, he might be indifferent. She
considered that they might part ways once the spotlight faded. She assumed their relationship would be more
like strangers sharing a space, not this comfortable coexistence. But she hadn't expected him to be so... kind,
kind enough that if she ever had to leave, she knew she'd find it incredibly hard to say goodbye. Calliope lowered

as a mere formality. He genuinely treated her as his wife.
It was touching, but she reminded herself to stay rational. She knew their relationship couldn't last forever. He
had someone else in his heart, someone he truly cared about from his heart. If that person ever returned,
Calliope knew she'd have to step aside.
"Thank you, Silas." Calliope turned to him, her voice earnest. "I know you're a good person, but it's okay if you
don't do all this. If one day—"
"What?" Silas frowned.
"I mean, if one day we part ways, it might be complicated." She looked at Silas sternly. She didn't want to take
advantage of his kindness, and she also didn't want to create future complications for him.
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Silas's face darken. His eyes held a hint of something fierce.
Fagan gulped silently and thought, 'Gosh, Mrs. Myers knows how to stir things up."
"You don't like it? You want to separate?" Silas's voice was low, tension hanging in the air.
"That's not what | meant. | mean, if..." Calliope was startled by Silas's
sudden shift in demeanor. She
wasn't sure what she'd said
wrong.

"No, | don't dislike it. | like it a lot. I'm really happy. You're the best husband in the world! Thank you!" She quickly
added, shooting Fagan a look. "Fagan, didn't you need my signature? Here, letsign for you!"

She grabbed the papers from Fagan and started signing away.

Silas sat on the couch, exuding an aura of authority, watching her quietly. His eyes were deep and unreadable.
After she finished signing, Fagan left. The tension in the room lingered, and Calliope felt a bit awkward under
Silas's intense gaze.
Perhaps she hadn't appreciated his
efforts enough. He had gone to such
trouble to set everything up, and
she'd talked about separation,
ruining his mood.
"Hey, you didn't eat much at the party. Hungry? How about | whip up smac and cheese? I'm a fantastic
cook!" She gave him a playful wink.
Silas looked up, his eyes scanning her face. "Do you still thinkas your uncle... because you're still thinking
about Gideon?"
