A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging From Dust Novel

Chapter 212 Even though Yvette was sweet and caring , she paled in comparison when Calliope was in the picture .

Gideon found himself exhausted being around Yvette lately .

He used to adore her , but now , he grew more annoyed towards her ; the thought of marrying her filled him with unease .

Yet , he felt trapped .

The wedding was imminent , and backing out now would not only turn him into the laughingstock of all Capitalton but would also infuriate his grandfather .

Do you think my wife is attractive ? Silas asked abruptly , his voice raised to a higher pitch .

Gideon froze for a moment , then quickly greeted Silas and made a hasty retreat .

Calliope lingered a bit longer with Silas , but when someone came to discuss business with him , she excused herself and left .

.

As soon as she stepped out of the Baker Group building , she bumped into Gideon , who had been waiting for her .

He hurried over as soon as he saw her .

Calliope ! She turned to glance at him .

What do you want ? You still have feelings for me , dont you ? Gideon reached out to grab her arm .

Calliope deftly sidestepped , a slight frown crossing her features .

Youre imagining things ! Then why didnt you tell Uncle Silas what I was up to earlier ? Gideons eyes bored into her .

She had covered for him , after all .

If Silas knew he had tried to kiss her , he wouldnt let it slide .

Calliope raised an eyebrow , a smile playing on her lips .

So , what now ? Are you going to ditch Yvette and choose me instead ? Arent you afraid of your uncle ? She leaned in closer purposely , one hand catching Gideons tie with a bold , seductive smirk dancing at her lips .

The proximity made his heart race , and he quickly stepped back , yanking his tie free , his brow furrowed in confusion .

There was no way he could call off the wedding or compete with his uncle for Calliope .

He knew Silas wasnt a man with a forgiving nature .

Whether Silas loved Calliope or not , she was his wife , and he wouldnt tolerate anyone else making a move on her .

It was a matter of pride .

But Gideon had a risky idea .

He looked at Calliope , his voice dropping to a conspiratorial whisper .

Callie , I know you still love me , and you fear Uncle Silas too , right ? So ? Calliope eyed him , his expression a picture of slyness , sensing the absurdity brewing in his mind .

I dont mind that youre married to Uncle Silas .

If youre into me , we can still be together .

As long as he doesnt find out , we can keep seeing each other .

Gideon eyed her , appreciating her figure and flawless skin something Yvette couldnt match .

Yvette , despite her efforts , had hands roughened by a rural upbringing , while Calliopes skin was smooth and delicate .

The more he observed , the more captivated he got .

He leaned in to whisper in her ear , his voice low and tempting .

How will you know if Im not better than Uncle Silas unless you give it a try ? If you dont mind , Im more than willing to satisfy you .
