Chapter 146 The room buzzed with a cheerful energy , filled with friends and family, no outsiders in sight .

Everyone was genuinely wishing her a happy birthday .

Come on , make a wish and blow out the candles ! someone called out with a playful nudge .

# Silas leaned in close to Calliopes ear , his voice just a soft whisper meant only for her , Happy birthday , darling .

Make a wish .

% Thank you ! Calliope replied , glancing around at everyone , feeling a lump in her throat .

She couldnt remember the last time shed had such a lively birthday celebration .

It took her back to her childhood when she used to live with her grandpa .

Hed invite people over every birthday , and her friends would fill the house .

She felt like a little princess adored by the whole world .

But after her grandpa passed away , she moved back in with her biological parents .

Since then , shed never had a birthday that felt entirely her own or experienced such a vibrant celebration .

Her eyes stung with unshed tears .

She fought to keep them at bay , closed her eyes , made a wish , and blew out the candles .

Portia giggled and playfully smeared a bit of cake on Calliopes face as the candles flickered out .

The lights flickered on , illuminating the entire hall .

For the first time , Calliope could fully appreciate the magical setup of the room .

Fairy lights twinkled like stars across the ceiling , and the place was adomed with delicate tulle , balloons , and a sea of flowers , making it look like a dream .

In one comer of the hall , there was a mountain of gifts .

Calliope noticed something peculiar about the pile it seemed to be divided into two stacks .

Catching her curious glance , Portia couldnt help but explain , Hey , Callie , are you wondering why the gifts are in two separate piles ? Why ? Calliope asked , puzzled .

}] Well , one stack is from all of us here , but the other , Portia grinned , is from a certain someone .

} She pointed toward Silas , Your husband ensured to have a present for every year youve been alive , all waiting for you ! Pretty thoughtful , huh ? Surprised , Calliope turned to Silas .

Really ? } Yeah , Silas nodded , You can open them all later .

I couldnt give you those birthday gifts before , so Im making up for it today ! } Why are you so good to me ? Calliope felt her eyes misting over again .

Though she and Silas were only in a partnership , he treated her so well , which was overwhelming .

If he kept this up , she might just fall for him .

But could she really allow herself to love him ? } She wasnt sure .

Silas smiled .

Youre my wife .

Who else would I be good to , if not you ? > Calliope gazed at Silas , her emotions swirling .

Was it because she was his wife , and he saw it as a duty ? Even knowing it might just be his responsibility , she couldnt help but feel touched .

How could someone be so wonderful , strong , handsome , yet so warm ? } I appreciate it .

Thank you , Calliope said softly .

She turned her gaze to everyone in the room , including the Baker family , her friends , and Silass friends .

Hed even thought to invite her brothers .

Calliope looked over at Quentin and his brothers , and her eyes began to water again .

Since leaving the countryside , she hadnt celebrated a birthday with them , and there they all were .

} ] As everyone celebrated Calliopes birthday , no one realized that her three blood brothers , Valerian , and the others , had also arrived at the Starlight Hotel .
