NovelReadingChapter 229 "They probably won't believe it."
She knew exactly how the Jewells saw her. To them, she was useless - someone with no skills, no ambition, and
no real value.
Not that she cared.
Calliope shrugged. "There's no need to go out of the way to tell them. They'll find out eventually."
After all, she had already decided to resher work-helping people, saving lives. Word would spread. And once
it did, people would start to realize who she really was.
"Exactly! Mommy, you're amazing and brilliant. One day, they'll regret losing such an incredible lady!"
You're exceptional. My mentor always says you're blessed - someone who brings good fortune not just to
yourself, but to those around you. If they lost you, well... bad luck for them!"
Calliope and Baber chatted for a while until she was ready to end the call.
"Mommy, don't forget to pickup tomorrow!" Baber reminded her.

"Of course, you little thing. When have | ever broken a promise to you?" Calliope let out a wry smile.
"Just making sure!" Baber grinned, blowing her a playful kiss. "See you tomorrow, Mommy! Bye-bye!"
"Bye-bye!"
Calliope waved at the screen as the call ended. But the moment she lowered her phone, she felt a cold, heavy
presence behind her.
She turned sharply, and there stood Silas, whose expression was sour and unreadable. He'd been standing
behind her, somehow his whole demeanor radiating an unsettling chill. His jaw was tight, his eyes dark with
something she couldn't quite place.
"What's wrong? Something's up?"
Calliope sensed Silas wasn't pleased, standing up abruptly.
Silas, noticing her hesitation in words, had a mix of emotion. She was having video call with someone, and he
had unmistakably heard the other call her "Mommy".
There were things about her he still didn't know, secrets she hadn't told him.
He stared at Calliope, waiting-hoping she'd cclean on her own. But she didn't mention the topic.
"You haven't eaten yet, have you? I'll heat up sfood. | haven't eaten either. Let's have it together."
"Alright," Silas answered, his heart heavy.
Unaware of his thought, Calliope only felt he was not in a good mood, suspecting
he might run into sproblems.
"Did something happen? If you don't
| can talk to me. | may not
mind, you
be able to fix it, but sometimes it
helps just to share."
"It's nothing."

Silas mused for a while before asking, "Is there anything you want to tell me?"
"What thing?" Calliope paused. She searched her mind, wondering if she had forgotten something important.
But... nothing cto mind.
He was looking at her like he expected her to say something, even though she couldn't really offer him any topic.
After smoment, realization dawned on her. "Are you upset because you think I'm hiding something from
you?"
"Yes, | just want you to be honest with me. No matter what it is, | can handle it. We're a couple, Calliope."
He looked serious.
Calliope nodded. "You're right. Keeping secrets isn't good. | should just tell you the truth. But promiseyou
won't get mad once bdo."
Silas felt his pulse quicken, looking at her with a mix of concern and anticipation.
He had prepared himself for this. If she had a child, he would accept it. He would accept everything about her, as
long as she was happy.
