A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging From Dust Novel

Chapter 19 Can I have a word with him alone ? Calliope glanced at Silas .

She worried that Gideon would keep pestering him .

She knew Silas was a busy man , and there was no need for him to waste time on her matters .

She could explain things to Gideon herself .

Silas gave her a slight nod .

Ill have Damien come pick you up , he said , giving her the respect she deserved .

After Calliope got out , the car drove off .

She now stood face to face with Gideon , who watched Silass car disappear , disbelief written all over his face .

His uncle explained nothing , as usual .

Gideon turned to her , inhaling sharply , his eyes filled with anger and disbelief .

Calliope , you must be joking , right ? Is it because I wasnt around that Grandpa had Uncle take my place at the wedding ? Calliope looked at him calmly .

Are you just worried about losing your shares ? Im serious , Calliope .

You better explain whats going on .

You know Im getting upset , Gideon said , a hint of desperation in his eyes .

Of course , he was .

Without this marriage , the shares Grandpa promised would slip right through his fingers .

And on top of that , seeing Silas with Calliope made him uneasy .

Calliope was supposed to be his .

She had always chased after him .

Yet now , she was by Silass side without hesitation .

What was that all about ? Are you trying to intimidate me ? Do you think I care if youre upset ? Calliope chuckled lightly .

Even if you were furious , it wouldnt concern me .

I know youre just talking nonsense , Gideon frowned .

Tell me the truth , this whole marriage certificate thing is fake , right ? Youve always wanted to marry me .

If thats the case , I have time today .

Lets go get the certificate , then we can have dinner at the family house .

He reached for her hand , only for her to yank it away .

Gideon , Im warning you .

Dont try anything foolish .

Im your aunt now , she said coldly .

Forget about those shares .

I begged Grandpa to let me marry you , thats why he made that promise .

But Ive realized something- I dont love you .

Im not interested anymore .

Im happy with Silas .

She stepped forward slightly , her voice unwavering .

The wedding already happened .

The marriage certificate is real .

So from now on , show some respect .

Im your elder now .

If nothing else , respect your uncles wife .

You know your uncles temper isnt great .

Do you really think hed tolerate this behavior ? Gideons expression hardened with disbelief .

No way , Calliope .

Youre lying ! You love me .

How could you choose my uncle over me ? Youre just upset because of Yvette , arent you ? Every time its about Yvette , you throw a tantrum , Gideon said , stepping forward and trying to pull Calliope in for a kiss .

Just then , Damien pulled up in a Porsche , catching the scene as he got out .

Startled , he took a step forward , ready to rush over and protect Calliope .

But before he could act , he watched in surprise as Calliope swiftly slapped Gideons hand away .

In one fluid motion , she grabbed his arm and flipped him effortlessly over her shoulder .

Gideon , completely unprepared , hit the ground with a thud .

She steadied her breath and said coolly , Kid , stop fooling around .

This isnt a game .

Also , your grandpa said theres a family dinner tonight .

Dont forget to show up .
