A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging From Dust Novel

Chapter 227 Mommy ? The single word from Baber sent shockwaves among them , leaving Horatio , Valerian , and Lisette utterly dumbfounded .

The three of them cast glances first at Calliope , then at Baber , a picture of disbelief .

What was going on ? Calliope was this kids mommy ? The kid called Calliope Mommy ? What was their relationship ? There was no way Calliope had a child with Upton .

Wasnt Uptons sons mother already dead ? Plenty of women had tried to step into the role of Babers mother , but Upton had always remained devoted to his late wife .

He never allowed anyone to take her place .

And yet , here was Baber calling Calliope Mommy ? And did he just ask his dad to take Calliope home ? Mr.

Baber Thorne , who did you just call Mommy ? Did you mean Calliope ? Valerian asked , still trying to make sense of what he just heard .

Yeah , is there a problem ? Callie is my mommy .

Whats so strange about that ? Baber put his hands on his hips , his small but strikingly handsome face suddenly turning serious .

Despite his young age , there was an undeniable authority in his expression .

How could she be your mom ? Lisette blurted , her brows furrowing .

Calliope had already gotten involved with Silas now Upton too ? Impossible .

What could she possibly have that made these men fall for her ? She couldnt be Babers biological mother … so did that mean she had some sort of secret relationship with Upton ? Mr.

Thorne , Calliope is already married to Silas .

Thats not exactly a secret .

Lisette turned to Upton , looking practically a tattletale .

Uptons gaze lifted slightly , his sharp eyes carrying an unmistakable pressure .

I know shes married to Silas .

Any problem ? Lisette felt incredulous .

Then you … Keep your mind out of the gutter , Upton said coolly .

Calliope and I are just friends .

Shes Babers godmother .

Thats right ! Callies my godmom .

Got a problem with that ? Baber shot Lisette a glance , already not liking her .

He and his dad kept tabs on Calliopes life now and then , so he knew these people were her brothers and sister .

But from what hed heard , they werent exactly good to her .

Not that it mattered .

His mommy was strong strong enough to handle them without breaking a sweat .

A bunch of idiots , none of them realizing how powerful she really was .

Theyd regret it soon enough .

Lisette still couldnt believe it .

How could Calliope possibly be Babers godmother ? What gave her the right ? How did she even connect with someone as powerful as Upton ? Mr.

Thorne , you clearly dont know Calliope very well .

Shes not exactly the best influence .

Asking her to be your sons godmother , arent you worried shell be a bad role model for him ? Valerian claimed blandly .

Upton chuckled .

Seems like I know her better than you do .

Valerian frowned .

Horatio , concerning his legs , decided to change the subject .

He straightened up and turned to Upton .

Mr.

Thorne , we actually came here today because theres a favor we might need to ask .

Upton gave him a glance but said nothing .

I heard you sought out the Miracle Doctor to treat your son .

We dont know her real name or where to find her , so do you mind telling us ? Chapter 227 Horatio looked up , his voice taking on a pleading edge .

I have a serious issue with my legs .

I need to find her as soon as possible .

The Miracle Doctor ? Upton flicked an unreadable look at Horatio .

I doubt shed be willing to treat you .

Even if she refuses , Id still like to meet her , Horatio uttered .

Please , Mr.

Thorne , could you at least introduce me ? Upton crossed his arms .

And what exactly do you have to offer in exchange ? It doesnt seem that youve got something Im interest in .

Horatio paused .

He was aware that Upton was a businessman .

He never did anything for free .
