A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging From Dust Novel

Chapter 182 One day , theyll discover the truth behind it all .

Whether they regret it or not doesnt really matter .

Callie can live a fantastic life .

Shes wasted enough of her time on them already .

Theres no need for her to waste anymore .

Calliope nodded .

Yeah , exactly .

She used to be so reserved .

Initially , she only wanted to see if they truly cared for her , but slowly , she realized they were drifting further and further away .

She lost interest in sharing everything she had with them .

Here , eat .

Silas had somehow picked up a buffalo wing and held it to her lips .

Calliope took a bite , savoring the spicy kick .

She glanced at Silas , her eyes crinkling into a smile .

Silas was caught in her gaze , his ears turning a shade of red .

Portia gave Archie a nudge and raised an eyebrow at the scene .

Archie frowned , sizing up the situation , then took several swigs of his beer .

They all kept munching on buffalo wings , laughing and chatting away , downing more drinks than they probably should have .

Calliope had quite a bit to drink , too .

Despite the comfort her friends offered , the disappointment of her own parents those hopes she harbored shattered , leaving her quietly aching inside .

It was hard not to hope , and even harder not to feel let down .

With the alcohol buzzing in her system , she clung a little closer to Silas on the way back .

Why dont they like me ? They brought me into this world .

Did I have a say in it ? They had me , but they dont take responsibility .

They only care about their adopted daughter .

Why do they treat me this way ? Wouldnt it have been better if I werent born ? Ive never done anything horrible .

Im not a curse .

Im not .

I havent brought them any disaster ! Ive been trying to help them sort out their messes , but they dont see it ! Silas tenderly mussed her hair .

Its not your fault .

Its their problem .

You didnt have a choice .

Theyre the ones missing out without you , so dont be sad .

They might not love you , but I do .

Youre not a curse .

Youre my good luck charm , my little lucky star .

Callie , Ill always love you .

Even if the whole world turns its back on you , I never will .

Not now , not ever .

Calliope rested in Silass arms , looking at him .

Really ? You wont abandon me ? Never , not ever! No , you will … you will , Silas , you will ! Calliope pulled away , retreating to a corner , her eyes red with tears .

Youll abandon me , too ! Grandpa left me , they left me , and youll leave me someday ! Dont come any closer .

I dont want to hurt anymore .

I dont want to be sad anymore ! Ive died once .

I dont want to die again … Calliope rambled , lost in her emotions .

Silas knitted his brows and pulled her close .

No , you wont die again .

Im here , and no one will hurt you .

Ill never abandon you .

Only you could leave me , never the other way around .

Callie , you have no idea how much I love you … For you , Id do anything .

For you , Id go all out …
