Chapter 227 Mommy?
The single word from Baber sent shockwaves among them, leaving Horatio, Valerian, and Lisette
utterly dumbfounded. The three of them cast glances first at Calliope, then at Baber, a picture of
disbelief.
What was going on? Calliope was this kid's mommy? The kid called Calliope "Mommy"? What was
their relationship? There was no way Calliope had a child with Upton. Wasn't Upton's son's mother
already dead?
Plenty of women had tried to step into the role of Baber's mother, but Upton had always remained
devoted to his late wife. He never allowed anyone to take her place.
And yet, here was Baber calling Calliope "Mommy"? And did he just ask his dad to take Calliope
home?
"Mr. Baber Thorne, who did you just call 'Mommy'? Did you mean Calliope?" Valerian asked, still
trying to make sense of what he just heard.
"Yeah, is there a problem? Callie is my mommy. What's so strange about that?" Baber put his hands
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇton his hips, his small but strikingly handsface suddenly turning serious. Despite his young age,
there was an undeniable authority in his expression.
"How could she be your mom?" Lisette blurted, her brows furrowing.
Calliope had already gotten involved with Silas - now Upton too? Impossible.
What could she possibly have that made these men fall for her? She couldn't be Baber's biological
mother... so did that mean she had ssort of secret relationship with Upton?
"Mr. Thorne, Calliope is already married to Silas. That's not exactly a secret." Lisette turned to Upton, looking
practically a tattletale.
Upton's gaze lifted slightly, his sharp eyes carrying an unmistakable pressure. “I know she's married to Silas. Any
problem?"
Lisette felt incredulous. "Then you..."
"Keep your mind out of the gutter," Upton said coolly. "Calliope and | are just friends. She's Baber's godmother."
"That's right! Callie's my godmom. Got a problem with that?" Baber shot Lisette a glance, already not liking her.
He and his dad kept tabs on Calliope's life now and then, so he knew these people were her brothers and sister.
But from what he'd heard, they weren't exactly good to her.
Not that it mattered. His mommy was strong strong enough to handle them without breaking a
sweat. A bunch of idiots, none omet
them realizing how powerful ske really was. They'd regret it soon enough.
Lisette still couldn't believe it. "How could Calliope possibly be Baber's godmother?"
What gave her the right? How did she even connect with someone as powerful as Upton?
"Mr. Thorne, you clearly don't know Calliope very well. She's not exactly the best influence. Asking her to be your
son's godmother, aren't you worried she'll be a bad role model for him?" Valerian claimed blandly.
QUMS
Upton chuckled. "Seems like | know her better than you do."
Valerian frowned.
Horatio, concerning his legs, decided
to change the subject. He straightened up and turned to
Upton. "Mr. Thorne, we actually chere today because there's a
favor we might need to ask. "
Upton gave him a glance but said nothing.
"1 heard you sought out the Miracle Doctor to treat your son. We don't know her
real nor where to find her, so do you mind telling us?"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHoralooked up, his voice taking on a pleading edge. "I have a serious issue with my legs. | need
to find her as soon as possible."
"The Miracle Doctor?" Upton flicked an unreadable look at Horatio. "I doubt she'd be willing to treat
you."
"Even if she refuses, I'd still like to meet her," Horauttered. "Please, Mr. Thorne, could you at
least introduce me?"
Upton crossed his arms. "And what exactly do you have to offer in exchange? It doesn't seem that
you've got something I'm interest in."
Horapaused. He was aware that Upton was a businessman. He never did anything for free.
