Chapter 139
"Nothing, I just didn't sleep well last night." Calliope shook her head and pulled Jenny along to continue shopping.
"Mrs. Moore, about what I said earlier..."
"No need to say more, Jenny, I understand." Calliope interrupted her, thinking that there was no point in explaining these old matters. Half a year ago, her actions indeed disappointed everyone, and she had long since gotten used to it.
While they were still shopping, a group of men in suits suddenly appeared at the mall entrance. The leader was Sylvester, who was listening to the mall manager's report with a cold and arrogant expression.
As he turned around, Sylvester inadvertently saw a familiar figure, Calliope. She was there trying on clothes, smiling happily. At that moment, every smile of hers seemed so fake and disgusting to Sylvester.
Looking at Calliope's pregnant belly, although he had doubts, from the moment he learned that his subordinates were setting up a nursery, he was convinced that it was his child.
Perhaps it was just to deceive himself, to not make this shameful memory even more profound?
No matter what, he decided to take revenge on Calliope, who had once hurt him. To repay her double for using his life to exchange for a child!
However, at this moment, Calliope, who was immersed in the joy of shopping, did not notice his arrival. It wasn't until she was about to leave that she ran into the supposedly dead Sylvester at a corner.
Calliope instantly froze. The fact that Sylvester was still alive was so shocking that she couldn't react.
Meanwhile, the mall manager continued to dutifully introduce sales data, seemingly unaware of the strange atmosphere. Sylvester's eyes were extremely cold, and everyone around him was respectful. He was a completely different person from the arrogant man he used to be.
Had he also undergone heart surgery that changed his personality? Countless speculations flooded her mind, leaving her deeply confused.
Sylvester stared intently at Calliope, while Calliope's eyes wandered, not daring to look at him, appearing guilty. This made Sylvester very dissatisfied.
"What? You don't even dare to look at your own husband?" Sylvester took a step forward, lifted her chin to force her to look at him, and said coldly, "You bought so many things?"
"Look at me!" No matter how Sylvester humiliated her, Calliope just silently looked at him, her eyes empty, seemingly devoid of any emotion.
Jenny, watching Calliope's calm expression, couldn't help but feel worried.
"You're pregnant and still carrying such heavy things yourself, trying to get the reporters to take pictures? To make people say I'm irresponsible?" Sylvester looked at the things in Calliope's hands, released his grip, and ordered, "Jenny, take her back first, so no one sees her pregnant and starts gossiping!"
After saying that, he walked away without looking back. Jenny, who wanted to say something, was stopped by Calliope, who shook her head indicating she didn't need help. Helpless, Jenny could only take her back to the manor.
Back at the Moore manor, the servants who used to be respectful to her now all had changed expressions, as she was the one who almost caused Sylvester's death. This was one of the main reasons Jenny was reluctant to bring her back. Their gazes were as sharp and cold as if they wanted to pierce her.
Inside the house, Mia, who was leisurely enjoying coffee, immediately darkened her face upon seeing Calliope. "Isn't this our murderer? How dare you step into this house! Bringing that illegitimate child to tarnish the Moore family's name."
Jenny wanted to stop Mia, but Mia interrupted her, "How dare you deny it? It's the truth!" Mia walked up to Calliope and mocked her swollen belly. "Shameless to the extreme."
No matter how Mia insulted her, Calliope remained silent. She knew that from the moment she decided to step back into this place, she was destined to endure all this humiliation.
In the evening, a drunken Sylvester returned. Seeing Calliope sitting in the living room and the young beauty beside him, Calliope remained expressionless, as if she saw nothing.
Seeing this, Jenny couldn't hold back, "Mr. Moore..."
Before she could finish, Calliope interrupted, "Jenny, please prepare coffee for my husband."
"So, this is Mrs. Moore?" The model eyed Calliope and her pregnant belly, "You're so young to have a child? Quite precocious."
"Wrong, miss, she's not just a simple girl, but my cunning wife." Half-drunk Sylvester, holding the beauty, walked towards the stairs and deliberately said provocatively before leaving, "Have a good rest, darlings."
