TimeNovelChapter 874
"Just a nobody. An insignificant passerby."
"No matter what you do now, no matter what your future holds, it won't make a bit of difference to me."
"Maybe I'll know about it, but | won't care. Maybe | won't, and | don't want to."
Calliope looked at Gideon with cold indifference. "You never knew how to appreciate what's right in front of you.
We ended a long tago. Shouldn't you be cherishing the woman next to you now?"
"What's wrong? Now that you've got what you wanted, you're already sick of it?"
Gideon opened his mouth, but not a single word cout.
His face was twisted with frustration and shame.
Storm, their golden retriever, gave a little jump and then flopped down beside Calliope, fixing Gideon with a look
so full of mockery that even he could feel it.
Gideon felt like even the dog was judging him.
At the doorway, Yvette had been listening for a while, her expression dark and stormy.
She knew Gideon didn't care for her anymore. Honestly, she didn't care much for him either. And seeing him

like someone who digs through the trash for scraps?"
"Trash like this? I'd kick it right back to the curb."
Just then, Silas stepped out from the next room.
The moment he heard Yvette's shrill voice, his first instinct was to hurry over and check on Calliope.
He walked right up, putting himself between Calliope and Yvette, eyes fixed on vette just because youll swallow
anything doesn't mean my wife will," he said coolly. s
"Relax. My wife has standards. She only loves me."
Silas took Calliope's hand in his, turning to look at her with gentle warmth in his eyes.
It was clear he would always stand up for her, no matter what.
His mix of tenderness and strength made Yvette burn with envy.
Gideon had never, not once, stood up for her that way. When her reputation had been trashed, when people
made things hard forber he'd simply looked the other way. s
