Chapter 46
Calliope let out a sigh of relief. “I’m glad you do. The rings, well, I thought the ones we bought before were a bit too big and flashy for everyday wear. So I found this pair. I really like the style. What do you think?” “If you like them, then so do I p>
He took the women’s ring and gently slid it onto her finger. Then, he handed her the men’s ring.
Calliope’s cheeks flushed ever so slightly. She hadn’t expected him to make such a moment out of it. With a shy smile, she slipped the ring onto his finger.
“Great taste,” Silas grinned. “I really like it! And it fits perfectly p>
“As long as you like it,” Calliope said, feeling a wave of reassurance wash over her.
She had been a bit worried because of what Gideon said, fearing Silas might not appreciate these things. Not that she couldn’t afford something to match Silas’s style, but those things weren’t easy to find. Of course, there was plenty of time, and she planned to get him something special when she found the right piece.
Silas had supported her in many ways, and now that they were married, it was only fair to return the favor. No matter what secrets Silas had or what his past was, after being let down by Gideon, she wasn’t about to find a match for herself. If things went smoothly with Silas and he didn’t mind, she was willing to make a good life with him.
Silas was such an incredible guy; why would she say no to that?
Silas admired the rings and bracelet, clearly pleased.
“What’s that p>
He soon noticed another bag in Calliope’s hand.
Calliope hurriedly replied, taking an unwitting step backward, “Nothing important! Some of my clothes. Haha. Well, I’ll just head upstairs now p>
She spun around and dashed towards the stairs, clearly trying to hide something.
Silas couldn’t shake the feeling that something was off.
Watching her retreating figure, he furrowed his brows slightly. What thing couldn’t he check? What else did she buy?
Silas couldn’t figure it out, but when Calliope stumbled on the stairs, his heart skipped a beat.
“Careful! Take your time, I won’t peek!” he called, setting his tablet aside and heading toward the stairs. Hearing his steady footsteps, Calliope became even more flustered.
Her haste was her downfall as she tripped once more, sending the bag flying. Its contents spilled out across the floor.
When she steadied herself and turned back, her face flushed crimson with embarrassment, wishing she could vanish into thin air.
Oh no! Everything was out in the open. Not a single thing hidden!
What on earth has Portia prepared here p>
Sexy lingerie would have been reasonable, but handcuffs, candles, whips, fox tails, nurse uniforms… fine, she could’ve overlooked those too. But condoms – so many different types of condoms! And one with spikes, no less!
And what was up with that fake male… well, you know!
All of these flashy items were now shamelessly displayed in front of Silas.
Calliope wished she could disappear on the spot.
Calliope was mortified, her face burning with utter embarrassment.
There was no time to gather everything up because Silas had already seen it, and in his hand was one of those spiked condoms p>
