Chapter 385
Under the cover of night, Gideon stood there for what felt like an eternity, as if time had slipped away from him. His mind was abuzz with a million questions.
Was she that incredible? She could fix cars too? When did that happen? They’d been together for years, yet he had no clue about this side of her.
And to think, she was the owner of Pearl Tiger Club! There was so much he didn’t know. She was never simple, and even the Jewell family probably didn’t grasp her true identity and capabilities.
Had she been testing him all along? Did he let it slip through his fingers?
“Gideon, are you getting in or what?” Yvette’s voice cut through his thoughts. She wanted to argue, but she held back, knowing it would only drive them further apart.
Lately, their arguments had chilled their relationship, and she couldn’t afford any more surprises.
She knew Gideon was trying to get Calliope back into his life. He was starting to care about Calliope again, and Yvette couldn’t let that happen. As much as Fleur’s words stung, they held a grain of truth. If she lost Gideon, finding a better partner would be difficult. But if Gideon lost her, there would be plenty of women eager to take her place. He was a catch, after all.
Eventually, Gideon snapped out of his daze, climbed into the car, and started the engine.
“Are you okay, Gideon?” Yvette asked cautiously.
“I’d step aside if Calliope still loves you. I always want you to be happy,” Yvette continued. “But she’s with Silas now. She doesn’t care about you anymore. She’s

Fleur’s words were a reminder, a warning that even if Yvette let go, Gideon wouldn’t have Calliope back.
“And you know what Silas is like. If you make a move on Calliope, he won’t let you off easy p>
Gideon shot a cold glare at Yvette, anger simmering beneath his words. “Do you think I’m not as good as Silas p>
“That’s not what I meant,” Yvette stammered.
“If that’s not what you meant, then what did you mean? Would you choose Silas if you had the chance p>
Yvette’s face went pale. She had no idea why Gideon was suddenly acting out.
“Gideon, please don’t get upset. I only love you. Even if there’s someone better, I’d still choose you,” Yvette insisted, her voice filled with emotion.
“Is it because I’m your only option?” Gideon chuckled bitterly. “If there were someone better, you’d probably weigh your options, wouldn’t you p>
Yvette was stunned, her expression turning sour. She feigned anger, turning away. “If that’s how you see me, I can do nothing. You know I love you. I’d give my life for you p>

“You love my status and money,” Gideon said, his gaze unwavering. Ever since he considered winning Calliope back, things had become clearer. He realized his affection for Yvette was more about convenience and a sense of obligation_With Calliope, he felt he had no other choice, leaving him unsatisfied.
But now, he understood he’d made a mistake.vette could never match up to Calliope, not even when they were put together. Calliope’s grace and presence were unmatched.
