A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging From Dust Novel

Chapter 151 Calliope stayed silent while Silas fixed his gaze on Gideon for what felt like an eternity .

Just a Happy Birthday without a gift , huh ? Thats a bit rude .

Dont you think so ? Gideon was stunned .

He had shown up drunk and impulsive , unsettled by Silas celebrating Calliopes birthday .

The thought of bringing a gift hadnt even crossed his mind .

Seeing her , he felt a heavy weight in his chest .

She seemed happier , more alive , without him .

Sorry , I forgot to bring a gift , Gideon said , frowning .

Thats okay .

You dont need to give gifts immediately .

If I remember correctly , youve got a place in Misty Haven .

If you gave that to Calliope , shed be quite pleased .

Silas raised an eyebrow at Gideon , Gideon hesitated , caught off guard .

Whats wrong , having second thoughts ? No , its not that … Gideon dared not defy Silas .

He knew he had to comply if Silas wanted him to gift the house .

Well , if you wouldnt mind , Calliope , the house in Misty Haven is yours .

Ill have the paperwork sorted out and transferred to you soon .

Calliope smiled slightly .

I dont mind at all .

The Misty Haven house was one she had asked Gideon to buy years ago .

She cherished it because she and her grandfather had once rented it together .

Though she hadnt lived there in a while , it remained under Gideons name .

Gideon had once promised to give it to her but never followed through .

He nearly let Yvette move in , which had sparked a big argument between them .

She never expected Silas to step in and secure the house for her .

It was full of memories of her grandfather , and she had always wanted it back .

She had thought of buying it from Gideon , but he never agreed .

He claimed what was his was hers , too .

Perhaps she used to believe that , but now she knew better .

Gideon felt a pang of frustration .

He knew how much Calliope cared about that house .

With it in his possession , Calliope would inevitably come to him because of it .

But Silas had taken matters into his own.

hands .

Callie , come over here .

Let me introduce you to some friends , Silas said softly , taking Calliopes hand .

Gideon watched as Silas led Calliope away , introducing her to his close buddies .

They all smiled warmly , showing her respect .

The scene was a stark contrast to when Calliope had asked Gideon to introduce her to his friends .

He had refused her countless times .

He thought she didnt belong and wouldnt fit in with his crowd .

But watching her easily converse with Silass friends and seeing Silas eagerly introduce her made his chest tighten painfully .

Somewhere along the line , something had gone wrong , and it frustrated him deeply .

He shouldnt care about Calliope .

And his interest had always been in his grandfathers shares , right ? He was with her because he had been forced , wasnt he ? Even though the shares were gone now , wasnt he free ? He should be happy , right ? Yes , he should be happy .

1/2 21:44 Chapter 151 There was nothing about her that would keep Silas interested .

Silas would tire of her eventually .

Gideon kept his eyes on Calliopes direction for a long time , his vision blurring with unshed tears .
