A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging From Dust Novel

Chapter 218 We can handle it , but the real question is , can you come up with enough of a bridal gift yourselves ? In Capitalton , theres this unwritten rule that the brides family should offer at least twenty percent more than the grooms family , you know .

Her words left the Jansen family momentarily stunned .

Thats impossible ! Verenas eyes widened .

Youre pulling our leg ! Why would I ? Go ask around and youll know , Calliope replied with a cool demeanor .

Honestly , the idea of marrying a girl from a regular family is already a bit of a letdown for the Bakers .

I mean , if Yvette doesnt marry into our family , who else would take her ? You mentioned it yourselves , the invites are out .

Yvettes reputation is already on thin ice .

Dont let greed get in the way and end up with nothing .

I believe you know how your daughter is , and the value she holds .

Calliope crossed her arms and tilted her head slightly .

Surely , youve been spreading the news about her marrying into a prestigious family , right ? If the wedding falls through , wont your relatives have a field day laughing at you ? On our end , its no biggie .

Without Yvette , Gideon is still quite the catch .

Finding someone of equal standing is no problem .

If this wedding gets canceled , another can take its place just as easily .

Calliopes sharp words seemed to lighten Fleur up .

Exactly , Callies right ! If you dont want the wedding , then so be it .

Its not like it has to happen ! Upon hearing it , the Jansen family began to feel the pinch .

They couldnt let this opportunity slip away .

If the Bakers really decided against Yvette , shed have been left in a precarious position no decent family would want her after this .

Better to let her marry into the Bakers and hope for some long term benefits .

Well do it ! Even without the wedding gift ! Trevor blurted out .

Lets not argue with those fools , they only care about money .

The young couples happiness is what counts ! Can we discuss things calmly now ? Fleur asked , looking at Verena and the others .

After some deliberation , they nodded in agreement .

Calliope , having said her piece , returned to her quiet , observant self .

Silas soon brought in a tray with some snacks , and Calliope nibbled on a croissant like a little hamster .

Silas would occasionally reach over to gently wipe crumbs from her mouth with a fond smile .

Gideon couldnt help but glance over at Calliope from time to time .

His eyes tingled with emotion .

He wasnt sure since when he began feeling regretted .

Somewhere along the way , he had realized how much he wished she was his .

But she wasnt .

She sat beside Silas , who looked at her with such warmth and tenderness , as if she was the center of his world .

Seeing Silass gaze , and knowing that he had her , filled Gideon with a burning jealousy .

As Fleur and the others continued hashing out wedding details , Gideons gaze remained fixated on Calliope , slowly awakening to what he had lost .

As Yvette took a glance at Gideon , she noticed his eyes lingering continuously on Calliope , and it made her blood boil with frustration and jealousy .

Thanks to Calliopes intervention , the issue was resolved , and Fleur managed to smoothly navigate through the rest of the wedding arrangements .

Just as things were wrapping up , Silas received a call that darkened his expression slightly .

Is something up ? Calliope asked , tilting her head .
