A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging From Dust Novel

Chapter 214 Yeah , yeah , yeah , lets eat first .

Im starving ! I heard thered be some good food today , so I made sure to come with an empty stomach , the woman chuckled .

Otherwise , the food would be wasted if its left unfinished .

Her eyes darted around the room as if it was the first time shed stepped in the society .

She kept saying , This place looks so fancy ! Mustve cost a pretty penny , huh ? Didnt mean to make you go all out for us ! Yvette , frowning , called out to her mother .

Mom , lets just eat , okay ? Anyway , the wedding plans are already in motion .

Todays just a chance for everyone to meet and get to know each other .

If it werent for Eamon insisting on this family meeting , Yvette wouldnt have asked her family over .

She had even planned to exclude them from her wedding .

They were mere embarrassment .

People would tell she came from the sticks once they met them .

She had longed for becoming a lady from a wealthy background , even attending a few etiquette classes .

But now , here she was , at risk of having her carefully constructed facade crumble .

Alright , I get it .

Dont touch me! Im just excited ! the woman huffed .

By the way , about the wedding gifts , you havent given us anything yet .

Your family has money , right ? Im sure you wont be stingy .

Mom ! Yvette hadnt anticipated her mother bringing this up .

Gideon had already given them some money to keep things under wraps , promising that theyd sort out the wedding gifts later .

Why are you yelling ? the woman snapped at Yvette .

Wedding gifts are something that needs to be settled .

Yeah , sis , youre marrying into wealth .

Cant skip out on that part , can you ? Otherwise , its like were sending you off with nothing ! Theyre loaded , and while were not , we cant let them look down on us to the point where they skip the gift part , can we ? her half brother chimed in with a cold smirk .

I did some asking around I know what the going rate is ! Its not like were selling livestock ! What do you mean , going rate ? Yvette shot him a glare , her voice low but seething with frustration .

Ivor , just shut up and eat .

We can talk about this later .

Ivor ignore Yvettes instruction ; head tilting , he continued in a nonchalant tone , We cant eat if this isnt sorted .

The whole family seemed to be in on this , their attitudes bristling with entitlement .

Eamon and his family were visibly uncomfortable .

Fleur flicked an interrogative glance at Gideon , silently urging him to smooth things over .

She was on the verge of losing her temper .

Mr.

and Mrs.

Jansen , rest assured , the wedding gifts will be taken care of , Gideon soothed .

Lets enjoy the meal first , shall we ? The foods already served , its getting cold otherwise ! , Yeah , lets eat first , Yvette echoed .

We can sort that out later ! Verena eyed the dishes laid out on the table and swallowed .

Alright , lets eat .

Im really starving .

With that , she made herself at home , her manners all but forgotten as she dove into the food , digging in without hesitation .

Ivor and Yvettes stepfather Edison followed suit , attacking the spread like theyd been starved for days .

Ivor grabbed a turkey leg , gnawing at it with gusto .

Come on , dig in ! Dont just sit there watching us eat , Verena urged after a few bites , her words punctuated with flying bits of food as she gazed up at Eamon and the others.

Calliope had been about to serve herself , but after witnessing Verenas less than sanitary display , she silently set her fork down .
