A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging From Dust Novel

$ Chapter 245 Callies great .

Youve got good taste .

Upton glanced at Calliope and Baber before turning his gaze back to Silas .

I hope you treat her well .

Shes even more extraordinary than you realize .

I know , Silas said , his face softening with adoration .

A small smile played on his lips .

Having her is the best thing that ever happened to me .

Upton studied him for a moment before breaking into a chuckle .

E Never thought shed end up marrying you .

I never had much faith in Gideon , to be honest .

But knowing shes with you ? That puts me at ease .

Silas narrowed his eyes slightly .

You and Callie , you two are close ? Upton shrugged .

Shes like a little sister to me .

He exhaled and looked away for a second before continuing .

You know I dont have much family .

Babers mother passed away , and hes the most important person in my life .

Callie gave him a second chance .

Shes helped me more times than I can count .

So , yeah , aside from Baber , shes the most important person to me .

I care about Callie .

A lot .

Then , his voice dropped into something more serious .

So , treat Callie right .

Ill be standing in her corner if she ever gets hurt or feels wronged , even if its you .

A smirk curled at the edge of his lips .

Callies so called family failed her , but thats fine .

I can make up for a million of them .

Silas held Uptons gaze , then gave a firm nod .

I will .

They chatted longer before Silas phone buzzed .

It was about work .

He sighed , excused himself with a quick kiss on Calliopes cheek , and left .

Since Calliope had no pressing matters to attend to , she stayed behind to keep Baber company .

Upton had planned to leave for work but pushed everything aside .

He wouldnt go anywhere while Baber was recovering .

What happened to Baber is partly my fault , Calliope murmured .

Upton frowned .

Hows that ? Lisette was after me .

Baber just got caught in the crossfire .

Uptons jaw tightened , his eyes darkening .

Dont blame yourself .

That woman is pure poison .

She even dared to mess with my son .

He exhaled sharply .

She wont get another chance .

She wouldnt dare , Calliope said , shaking her head .

Lisette was rotten , sure .

But she was also a coward .

Upton tilted his head .

Mind if I make things difficult for the Jewell family ? Calliope scoffed and shrugged .

I left that family a long time ago .

Do whatever you want .

Upton smirked , his deep eyes gleaming with something dangerous .

Good .

No one messed with his son and walked away unscathed .

By lunchtime , the three of them ordered takeout burgers , fries , and milkshakes .

Later in the afternoon , Calliope finally decided to head home .

Baber , however , was still sulking .

His perfect day at the amusement park got ruined , and he wasnt about to let it slide .

1/2 05-18 Chapter 245 As soon as Calliope walked out the door , Babers little brain started scheming , thinking of revenging Calliope .

The moment she was gone , he tried sneaking out .

And where do you think youre going ? A deep , knowing voice cut through the air .

Upton didnt even look up from the couch .

Baber flashed an innocent smile .

Just going to walk Callie out ! One raised brow from Upton .

You sure about that ? Youre not planning something else ? Baber hesitated .

Then , realizing hed got caught , he dropped the act .

Upton smirked .

Revenge is fine .

But make sure you stay safe .

Take a few of the bodyguards with you .

Babers face lit up .

Thanks , Dad ! A few minutes later , the little mastermind picked a handful of bodyguards , marched straight to the front desk , and sweet talked his way into getting Lisettes hospital room number .

Then , with all the stealth of a mischievous little fox , he slipped away to visit her .
