A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging From Dust Novel

Chapter 158 Mr.

Myers wants to introduce you to the company staff .

You should probably make an appearance , or how will anyone know youre the CEOs wife ? Calliope nodded thoughtfully .

Oh .

She glanced over at Silas , who wore a serious expression .

There was an indescribable feeling in her heart .

When she married Silas , she had prepared herself for all sorts of scenarios .

But she never imagined Silas would be so good to her .

She had thought that , with their marriage being more of an arrangement , he might be indifferent .

She considered that they might part ways once the spotlight faded .

She assumed their relationship would be more like strangers sharing a space , not this comfortable coexistence .

But she hadnt expected him to be so … kind , kind enough that if she ever had to leave , she knew shed find it incredibly hard to say goodbye .

Calliope lowered her eyes .

She knew Silas was only being kind because he was responsible .

He didnt see their arranged marriage as a mere formality .

He genuinely treated her as his wife .

It was touching , but she reminded herself to stay rational .

She knew their relationship couldnt last forever .

He had someone else in his heart , someone he truly cared about from his heart .

If that person ever returned , Calliope knew shed have to step aside .

Thank you , Silas .

Calliope turned to him , her voice earnest .

I know youre a good person , but its okay if you dont do all this .

If one day- What ? Silas frowned .

I mean , if one day we part ways , it might be complicated .

She looked at Silas sternly .

She didnt want to take advantage of his kindness , and she also didnt want to create future complications for him .

As soon as she finished speaking , she saw Silass face darken .

His eyes held a hint of something fierce .

Fagan gulped silently and thought , Gosh , Mrs.

Myers knows how to stir things up .

You dont like it ? You want to separate ? Silass voice was low , tension hanging in the air .

Thats not what I meant .

I mean , if … Calliope was startled by Silass sudden shift in demeanor .

She wasnt sure what shed said wrong .

No , I dont dislike it .

I like it a lot .

Im really happy .

Youre the best husband in the world ! Thank you ! She quickly added , shooting Fagan a look .

Fagan , didnt you need my signature ? Here , let me sign for you ! She grabbed the papers from Fagan and started signing away .

Silas sat on the couch , exuding an aura of authority , watching her quietly .

His eyes were deep and unreadable .

After she finished signing , Fagan left .

The tension in the room lingered , and Calliope felt a bit awkward under Silass intense gaze .

Perhaps she hadnt appreciated his efforts enough .

He had gone to such trouble to set everything up , and shed talked about separation , ruining his mood .

Hey , you didnt eat much at the party .

Hungry ? How about I whip up some mac and cheese ? Im a fantastic cook ! She gave him a playful wink .

Silas looked up , his eyes scanning her face .

Do you still think me as your uncle … because youre still thinking about Gideon ? Calliope watched as Silass face shifted , and she hurried to explain .

No , Im not interested in him anymore .

It is because Im used to … Whenever she saw Silas , shed instinctively see him as Gideons uncle .

Maybe it was from all those times shed chased after Gideon and got used to it .

She always forgot to correct herself .

Im not your uncle .

Im your husband .

Silas glanced up and moved closer , towering over her .

As he leaned in , Calliope swallowed hard , her heart pounding like a drum .

Uncle is what he calls me .

Youre not his woman , so remember it .

Calliope nodded , looking up at Silas with wide , hopeful eyes .

Her bright , deep eyes and pretty face , tinged with a slight blush , made it hard for anyone to resist her .

And Silas didnt say anything more .

Calliope headed to the kitchen and cooked two bowls of spaghetti .

The two of them shared the meal together .

The following day , Calliope was the talk of the town .

The fireworks on her birthday night had wowed everyone in Capitalton .

Someone had recorded and posted the whole event online , saying how unbelievably lucky Callie was .

People guessed who could have pulled off such a grand gesture .

Throwing a birthday celebration as extravagant and luxurious as that was unheard of .

Those fireworks were something else , outshining even the grandest firework displays .

Some were envious , some were jealous , and , of course , there was much speculation about who this Callie could be .

Who in Capitalton is Callie ? Is she the daughter of some elite family or the wife of a big shot to have such an opulent birthday celebration ? There are only a handful of true socialites in Capitalton , and I dont recall any named Callie .

They must have spent millions last night .

Who has that kind of money to burn ? Rumor has it someone had a birthday party on the top floor of the Starlight Hotel .

No matter how rich they are , that banquet hall is impossible for ordinary folks to book .

It must be the birthday celebrated in that ballroom .

Starlight Hotel top floor ? I heard Ms.

Calliope had her birthday there .

Usually , Ms.

Calliope and Ms.

Lisette celebrate together , but this time she did it solo , which is strange .

Ah , now that you mention it , its the eldest daughter of the Jewell family , whos always been a bit of a rebel .

Word is , her family doesnt like her .

If they dont like her , how does she afford such a lavish birthday ? It doesnt add up , right ? The Jewell family isnt exactly top tier .

How could they throw such a massive party for her ? And what about Ms.

Lisettes birthday ? Did everyone forget ? Ms.

Calliopes wedding had a last minute groom change , and now , shes married to Silas Myers .

Of course , he could throw the biggest birthday bash for his wife .

Isnt this Ms.

Calliope supposed to be a bit of an airhead ? People dont seem to like her much .

She was all over Gideon , and he even called off the wedding .

Why would Mr.

Myers marry her ? Why else ? Probably something about a life saving debt ! 1/2 22.10
