A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging From Dust Novel

Chapter 253 Thats good , Silas said , handing a bag of food to Upton .

This is for Baber .

Give it to him when he wakes up tomorrow .

Then , turning to Calliope , he added , If theres nothing else , you should head home .

You need some rest too .

Calliope glanced at Upton .

You sure youre okay on your own ? Yeah , Im good .

Ill reach out if anything comes up , Upton assured her .

Youve had a long day .

Go get some rest .

Alright .

Calliope left with Silas .

Silas handed her a piece of pie in the car and asked gently , Babers doing okay , right ? Yeah , he should make a full recovery this time , Calliope replied , taking a bite of the pie .

Whyd you come ? I told you it was okay if you didnt .

I missed you , Silas said , looking at her .

We only parted this morning , Calliope teased , tilting her head to look at him .

Still missed you , Silas replied , running his thumb gently across her forehead , his eyes filled with warmth .

Callie , promise youll stay by my side .

Dont leave me , okay ? As long as youre not pushing me away , Im not going anywhere ! Calliope declared , lifting her chin defiantly .

The more time she spent with Silas , the more she adored him .

He was everything she admired : calm , gentle , and strong .

He was always there to help her with any problem .

Her ex , Gideon was arrogant and had a terrible temper .

He was never considerate , always trying to manipulate her .

With Silas , she often found herself pleasantly surprised .

He frequently gave her gifts , always knowing what would touch her heart .

Anytime she had a question , he always had an answer .

He had enough influence and , despite his busy schedule , always made time for her .

Besides , he had such a handsome face .

And they were perfectly in sync .

Calliope thought she would be heartbroken to leave if Silas decided he didnt want her anymore .

The more time they spent together , the more she realized she couldnt bear to part from him .

A man like Silas was a rare find .

Shed heard rumors that there was someone else in his heart .

She had tried to find out more , but there were no clear answers .

She didnt know why he treated her so well .

Was it his sense of responsibility , or did he genuinely love her ? She didnt want to overthink it .

Nor did she dare to ask .

Maybe Silas would tell her when he was ready .

Exhausted from treating Baber all day , Calliope drifted off in the car .

Silas let her rest on his shoulder , the car gliding smoothly along .

When they arrived home , he couldnt bring himself to wake her .

He gazed down at her delicate , smooth face , feeling like he could never get enough of looking at her .

The driver turned to say something , but Silas gestured for him to leave quietly .

Calliope slept for quite a while .

When she finally stirred , she found herself nestled against Silas .

He was handling business on his phone with one hand while holding her with the other .

She had no idea how long hed been in that position .

A glance at the clock revealed shed been asleep for nearly two hours .

Why didnt you wake me ? she asked , sitting up from his embrace .
