A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging From Dust Novel

Chapter 133 Nothing much ! Portia huffed , getting up with a playful grin .

Just ensure you treat Callie well .

Since youre here , Ill leave you two alone .

She grabbed her purse and skipped toward the door .

Just as she reached the doorway , she turned back , leaning against the frame with a mischievous glint in her eyes .

Darling , dont forget about me when the fun starts ! She winked at Calliope , twirled around , and bounced out of the room .

Calliope watched her leave , her mind drifting into thought .

She had been caught up with her affairs lately and almost forgot about the whirlwind in Portias life .

Shed have to find time to catch up with Fintan soon .

What were you two chatting about ? Silas asked as he walked in , his tall figure casting a shadow .

Just gossiping a bit , Calliope replied with a sly smile , closing her laptop .

Eamon filled you in , didnt he ? Yeah , he called me right after speaking with you and told me to pick you up .

Silas paused .

You know , if you dont want to go , you dont have to .

He understood .

Calliope might still care about Gideon .

After all , she had loved him once , giving so much of herself to him .

Witnessing someone she once adored marry another could be a bitter pill .

Silas knew the sting of that pain all too well .

Why wouldnt I go ? Im in it for the show ! There must be some drama today , Calliope said with excitement .

Fleurs personality clashes with Yvettes .

Shes sure to give her a hard time .

Calliope spoke from experience .

Shed had her fair share of run ins with Fleur .

When she was smitten with Gideon , she often swallowed her pride to keep the peace when Fleur stirred up trouble .

Looking back , it seemed ridiculous how much she tolerated to win Fleurs approval and got treated like a servant in the process .

Now that Yvette was in the hot seat , Calliope was more than ready to be a spectator .

Silas studied Calliopes face .

There was no hint of sadness , only genuine eagerness for the impending spectacle .

Only then , his worries eased .

Calliope and Silas left Kirin Fondue , heading to Silass car .

Like a magician pulling a rabbit from a hat , Silas produced a slice of cake .

Is that a slice from Azure Bakery ? Calliopes eyes lit up at the sight .

I thought youd like it .

Picked it up on the way , Silas said casually .

We probably wont eat for a while , so this should hold you over .

Thanks ! Calliope said , already nibbling on the cake .

She adored Azures confections .

In the drivers seat , Fagan silently rolled his eyes .

On the way , indeed .

They had detoured miles out of their path , and the line at Azure Bakery was a nightmare .

Yet Mr.

Myers insisted on standing in line , claiming it was for his wife and had to be personal .

Who cared who bought the cake as long as Mrs.

Myers enjoyed it ? But Mr.

Myers was relentless .

Fagan had seen people pampered , but this was a whole new level .

Take it easy , Silas murmured as the car cruised smoothly .

He glanced up from his iPad , noticing a dab of frosting on Calliopes lips .

He reached out to gently wipe it away and licked his finger clean before returning to his work .

Calliope paused , watching him with a slight surprise at the casual intimacy of his gesture .
