Chapter 227 Mommy?

The single word from Baber sent shockwaves among them, leaving Horatio, Valerian, and Lisette utterly dumbfounded. The three of them cast glances first at Calliope, then at Baber, a picture of disbelief.

What was going on? Calliope was this kid's mommy? The kid called Calliope "Mommy"? What was their relationship? There was no way Calliope had a child with Upton. Wasn't Upton's son's mother already dead?

Plenty of women had tried to step into the role of Baber's mother, but Upton had always remained devoted to his late wife. He never allowed anyone to take her place.

And yet, here was Baber calling Calliope "Mommy"? And did he just ask his dad to take Calliope home?

"Mr. Baber Thorne, who did you just call 'Mommy'? Did you mean Calliope?" Valerian asked, still trying to make sense of what he just heard.

"Yeah, is there a problem? Callie is my mommy. What's so strange about that?" Baber put his hands on his hips, his small but strikingly handsome face suddenly turning serious. Despite his young age, there was an undeniable authority in his expression.

"How could she be your mom?" Lisette blurted, her brows furrowing.

Calliope had already gotten involved with Silas - now Upton too? Impossible.

What could she possibly have that made these men fall for her? She couldn't be Baber's biological mother... so did that mean she had some sort of secret relationship with Upton?
