Chapter 27 Chapter 27 Gideon was feeling incredibly awkward .
Fleur was even more furious .
Oh , you two just love to run your mouths , dont you ? Yeah , we sure do , Dahlia grinned and uttered .
Fleur , if youre stingy with money , youll never get a good daughter in law .
Look , now your sons all alone , isnt he ? Their family didnt even like her to begin with ! They didnt care about losing shares either ! Calista chimed in , poking at the situation with relish .
Just as Fleur was gearing up to unleash a verbal tirade , Eamon interrupted , Alright , enough with the bickering .
Lets eat .
At the dinner table , Eamon briefly mentioned Calliope and Silass situation .
Everyone gathered around the table seemed pretty indifferent .
Silas commanded a lot of respect , and no one dared to cross him .
Besides , who Calliope married didnt really matter to them .
In fact , her marrying Silas only seemed to elevate her in their eyes .
When she was clinging to Gideon , she seemed so desperate , and everyone looked down on her for it .
The ones having the hardest time were Gideons family .
Not only had they lost Calliope , but they also missed out on shares they thought were as good as theirs .
At this point , regretting was pointless , and they knew they couldnt fight Silas .
They just had to swallow their pride .
Gideon tried to say something , but Fleur quickly shoved a piece of roast beef into his mouth .

Fleur was sharp ; she knew her son had already pushed the subject of shares with Eamon a few times .
Bringing it up again might just anger him .
They were out of options now .
Gideon gnawed on the beef , his eyes drawn to the glittering necklace around Calliopes neck .
Hed given her necklaces too , but they were usually just cheap , maybe few or tens of bucks .
He always said it was the thought that counted , and shed always accepted them with delight .
Now , the comparison just simmered in his gut , making him even more irritable .
My husband gave me this necklace .
Isnt it beautiful ? Calliope munched on shrimp that Silas had peeled for her , looking up and flaunting the necklace in Gideons direction .
Isnt it dazzling? Its worth millions ! You dont have that amount of money , do you ? Of course not , otherwise why would you buy those one or two figure necklaces ? Do you like it ? Even if you do , you cant wear it ! Calliope teased Gideon intentionally while displaying her necklace , making sure he couldnt miss it .
When she emphasized its value repeatedly , Calista and Dahlia were nearly in stitches .
Theyd always thought Calliope was a force to be reckoned with , but now they found her quite amusing .
I dont want it , Gideon muttered , lowering his head , feeling like he might burst from frustration and unable to eat another bite .
Even if you did , you couldnt have it .
My husband gave it to me ! Calliope secured the necklace and then opened her mouth for another spoonful of food from Silas .
Dont talk while eating .
Itll upset your stomach , Silas gently patted her head , his voice soft .
Okay , Calliope nodded and stopped talking .
7 1/2 16:09 Chapter 27 But even without words , the message was clear .
Everyone noticed that Calliope didnt even have to lift a finger to eat .
Silas was feeding her the whole time .
She just had to open her mouth .
By the end of the meal , everyone felt stuffed not just with food , but with the overwhelming display of affection .
Afterward , they all gathered in the living room for a while longer .
Calliope played a game of chess with Eamon .
The others sat around chatting .
Everyone felt pretty good , especially since the Bakers didnt really care much for the second sons side of the family .
