A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging From Dust Novel

Chapter 220 Gideons eyes held a hint of sadness as he gave a self derisive smile .

You must feel happy now , right ? Happy ? Calliope shrugged .

Not really .

You and I are done , Gideon .

Your ups and downs dont really concern me anymore .

With that , she sidestepped him , heading towards her car .

But Gideon reached out , trying to grab her arm .

Callie , let me give you a ride home .

Calliope deftly dodged his grasp , glancing at him before replying , No need , my driver is waiting .

I insist , Gideon pressed .

Callie , hop in my car .

Its not appropriate , Calliope shot back .

Im your aunt in law now , Gideon .

Lets not forget that .

And youre about to get married .

Everyone knows about our past .

What do you think people will say if they see you giving me a ride ? But I want to , Gideon said fervently .

Im feeling really troubled , and I want to talk .

No , Calliope replied bluntly .

Callie , I regret it .

I really do .

She doesnt hold a candle to you .

Youre better in every way .

Gideon took a couple of steps to block her path .

You still care about me , dont you ? Otherwise , you wouldnt have helped me at dinner .

I wasnt helping you .

Eamon couldnt stand it anymore and asked me to step in .

She looked at him incredulously .

Arent you claiming to care about Yvette ? If you love her , you shouldnt mind her familys flaws .

I … See ? You really havent changed your douchebag self , Calliope scoffed .

Gideon , if you carry on like this , youll end up losing even Yvette .

She turned away , quickening her pace .

But Gideon was relentless , catching up to her .

He tried to insist on taking her with him .

Helpless , Calliope turned to Gideon , glancing at his hand clutched her arm , and uttered impassively , Gideon , let go .

If you keep this up , I wont hold back .

Ignoring her warning , Gideon moved closer .

Calliope frowned , swiftly locking his arm and , with a decisive motion , flipped him over her shoulder .

Gideon landed with a thud , staring up at her in shock .

Callie … doesnt it hurt you to see me like this ? Spare me the gross line .

Calliope said , her voice icy .

She gave him a few more punches for good measure , then dusted off her hands in distaste .

Ms.

Jewell … Her driver , an older man , had been waiting by the car and approached when he heard the commotion .

Is everything alright ? I thought I heard something .

Nothing major .

Just a stray dog .

Calliope swiftly blocked the view by standing in front of Gideon .

The driver squinted into the darkness , unable to see clearly and simply said , A stray dog ? Those can be dangerous , might carry rabies .

You didnt get bitten , did you ? No , I chased it off , Calliope said .

Lets go .

Alright , Ill take you home .

As the driver turned to leave , Gideon tried to call out , but Calliope discreetly planted her foot on his mouth .

She didnt apply much pressure , but with his mouth covered , Gideons expression was one of pure frustration .
