Fleur was fuming as she stared at Yvette. It wasn''t easy for her to keep herposure, especially since Yvette was brought home by her own son.


    Rejecting Yvette outright would be like pping Gideon in the face, and she was also worried about making him angry.


    "Gideon, have you really thought this through?" Fleur asked, ncing at her son. "I think she might not be the perfect match for our family, but if this is what you''ve decided, I know there''s no point in arguing.'' Gideon couldn''t help but nce at Calliope. She was busy ying a game with Calista and Dahlia, not paying him any attention.


    Meanwhile, Ss was gazing at Calliope with an undeniable affection, which only fueled the fire burning in Gideon''s chest.


    "I love Yvette," Gideon stated firmly. "Mom, Dad, Grandpa, whether you agree or not, I''m marrying her. I''m not here to ask for your permission, I''m here to inform you."


    Yvette''s heart skipped with joy at his words. She couldn''t help but sneak a nce at Calliope, initially with a hint of defiance.


    But a wave of frustration washed over her when she saw Calliope was uninterested and hadn''t even


    nced their way. It felt like she was gearing up for apetition, only to find the other person couldn''t care less, standing still while everyone else cheered.


    Yvette bit her lip, telling herself that soon she would finally be Mrs. Baker.


    "No one''s opposing you," Eamon said, frowning as he looked at Fleur and James. "Do you both agree?" Fleur shot Yvette a re but nodded her reluctant agreement.


    Gideon and Yvette then sat down to discuss wedding ns. Yvette had already picked a few dates, hoping for the soonest possible ceremony within the next three months


    She wasn''t thrilled about involving her family, they weren''t exactly the type to impress the Baker family,


    and she worried their meeting might jeopardize the union.


    But Eamon insisted on a family meeting, so she reluctantly agreed to bring it up with her folks.


    "Okay, we''ll leave it at that for now," Eamon stated. "We''ll discuss the details once Yvette''s parents are here."


    "And Gideon, there''s something important I need to remind you about," Eamon said, looking sternly at Gideon, which prompted everyone else to do the same.


    "Yes, Grandpa?"


    "Yvette is your choice. I know you went to see her when you were supposed to marry Callie. So, if Callie chose Ss, it''s not her fault. That''s on you," Eamon said sternly.


    Gideon looked over at Calliope, nodding slightly. "I know I was wrong."


    "Since you acknowledge your mistake, you must exin this to everyone at your wedding. Clear up any confusion.


    And there are some nasty rumors about Callie going aroundtely. Since it''s your fault, you must deal with those, too. You owe Callie that much."
