A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging From Dust Novel

Chapter 153 Yvette , what are you doing here ? Gideon grabbed her wrist , his brows furrowed in confusion .

They said you were drinking too much , so I came looking for you … I couldnt find you , then heard Callies throwing a birthday bash here , so I came over , Yvette explained , her eyes red and puffy .

Gideon , you still have feelings for Callie , dont you ? If you do like Callie , lets call off the wedding .

I dont want to put you in a tough spot .

Gideon released her wrist , shaking his head with a wry smile .

Ive never had feelings for her .

Besides , shes my uncles wife now .

Shes off limits .

But … you and her were perfect together .

Its my fault .

I messed things up for you , Yvette said , looking down in self reproach .

Gideon , maybe we should reconsider this wedding .

You should talk to your uncle .

After all , hes your family .

Its not right for an uncle to take his nephews girl .

It doesnt matter to me … I can handle a bit of gossip or ridicule .

Even if people talk , it wont bother me .

I just want you to be happy .

Seriously , Gideon , Ive thought it through .

As long as youre happy , Im fine .

Gideon looked at Yvette , his heart softening a bit .

Yvette- Yvette looked up .

Gideon , youve done so much for me .

Even though I once saved you , you dont owe me anything .

Lets just call it even , okay ? As for the promise you made to protect me forever , you can just forget it .

Gideon furrowed his brow .

I made you that promise .

How could I forget ? I never loved Calliope .

Everyone knows shes the one I cant stand the most .

Dont worry .

Our wedding will go on as planned ! You wanted the wedding to be grander than the one I had with her , and I promised you it would be the best ! Gideon looked at Yvette , his expression determined .

Gideon , thank you .

Youre wonderful ! Yvette hugged him tightly .

Gideon instinctively wanted to pull away .

He found himself comparing Yvette to Calliope .

He used to think Yvette was leagues ahead , kind , gentle , and everything she did seemed perfect .

But for some reason , Calliopes face kept appearing in his mind .

He couldnt shake the feeling that Calliope was more beautiful , that Yvette somehow couldnt measure up .

He must be losing it .

How could Yvette not measure up ? Even Calliopes own parents didnt love her .

It must be because Silas treated Calliope so well , giving him a sense of loss , like a child whose favorite toy got taken away .

Yeah , anyone would feel bad if their toy got snatched away .

He loved Yvette .

Yvette had saved his life , and he owed her so much .

The better Silas treated Calliope , the more he should cherish Yvette to show them that Yvette was the one for him and that she was better than Calliope .

Losing Calliope wasnt a loss .

He got no shares but gained the woman he loved .

That night , Calliope enjoyed her birthday party immensely .

It wasnt extravagant , but surrounded by familiar faces and receiving gifts she adored , it felt like the good old days when Grandpa was still around .
