Calliope pouted, "I don't have that kind of strength."

Silas was catching on to the situation. He looked at her with an amused smile, gently ruffling her hair. "Of course,

my dear lady is the most delicate of all. There's no way she could have that much strength. You guys must be

half-asleep. Go back to bed!"

Damien stood there, speechless, and thought, 'Great, whatever nonsense Mrs. Myers says, Mr. Myers buys it.'

They sheepishly shuffled out of the room.

Silas gazed at Calliope with indulgence. "Are you not getting along with them? I'll have them stay out of sight if

they bother you!"

"Oh no, it's nothing like that. | think Damien and the others were only teasing me." Calliope glanced up with a

smile. "You don't believe | could lift Million, do you? He's enormous! If | could swing him around, that'd be quite

the tale! I'm not that strong!"

"Exactly, my dear lady would never be violent." Silas chuckled, glancing at the slumped-over Million, a smirk

playing on his lips.

Calliope felt his hand in her hair and looked up, content as a kitten. Unconsciously, she snuggled closer to Silas.

The more tshe spent with Silas, the more she felt she couldn't be without him. She didn't want him to know

how strong she was. Men typically weren't fond of overly strong women. They preferred gentle ones.

Maybe she should find tto talk to Damien and the others and ask them to keep her strength a secret. Silas

was oblivious to Calliope's inner musings. To him, she was so adorable.

"Callie, your birthday's coming up. How would you like to celebrate?" Silas gently twirled one of her fingers as he

asked softly.

Calliope looked at him in surprise. "How did you know?"

Silas's gaze deepened. "I heard the Jewell family is planning a grand birthday party for Lisette. It's supposed to

be quite the event..."

He knew all about Calliope and Lisette's situation. He had actually been keeping an eye on them for many years.

So, he knew Calliope had never truly celebrated her birthday on her actual day.

Every time, she shared it with Lisette. Every time, Lisette took center stage. For Calliope, it was merely an

afterthought, without even a birthday cake for her.

Silas's heart ached for her, so he wanted to throw her a grand birthday party, one even more magnificent than

Lisette's, inviting even more of the city's elite.

"Oh, right. The Jewell family is

making such a fuss about Lisette's birthday, even saying they're setting up potential suitors for her at the party.

Everyone in town knows Calliope said, lowered her gaze, unsurprised.

Monty Jewell and Zelda might not be particularly notable, but they had three well-known sons. Their reputation

was significant.

With their backing, Lisette naturally gained fame. With such promotion, there would undoubtedly be no shortage

of people interested in the talented Lisette. The birthday party was bound to be quite lively.

"How about | throw you a grander one?" Silas ruffled her hair, asking with affectionate indulgence. Calliope shook

her head. "No, let's not steal their thunder for now. Whether | celebrate my birthday doesn't matter."

She had plans to make a splash at Lisette's birthday, so the livelier her party was, the better!
