A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging From Dust Novel

Chapter 29 Silas heard it , but he didnt turn around .

Only after Calliope settled into the car did he close the door and glance over at Gideon .

What is it ? Uncle , do you mean it ? Do I look like Im joking ? Gideon fell silent , his face clouded with gloom .

Youve always liked Callie ? Kind of , Silas replied , casting a quick glance at Gideon .

I should thank you for stepping aside .

Gideon was stunned , his eyes wide with shock .

Why ? Why do I like her , or why am I thanking you ? Silas tilted his head gracefully , his expression calm and composed .

Shes more amazing than you realize .

One day , youll regret it .

You barely know her , and losing her will be the biggest mistake of your life .

Without another word , Silas opened the car door and got in .

The car drove off swiftly , leaving Gideon standing there , troubled by Silass words .

What did he mean ? Was Calliope really that remarkable ? She was just a forgotten girl , always so lovesick , without a career , seemingly useless , spending her days chasing after him .

Even their marriage seemed so casual once he was gone , she left and married his uncle .

How could such a woman be exceptional ? His uncle must be blind .

Gideon smirked bitterly .

Love is blind , isnt it ? How had Calliope managed to charm his uncle ? He spent a restless night pondering , but came to no conclusion .

He didnt think much of Calliope , nor did he think Silas should .

How could someone like her marry a man more outstanding than himself , let alone his uncle ? When Calliope was with the Baker family , she and Silas flaunted their affection openly .

But once home , she felt a bit timid .

After all , there was no real emotional foundation between her and Silas .

He was likely helping her out of gratitude , as shed once helped him .

She worried that her actions might trouble him , or make him unhappy .

Im sorry , she said cautiously as soon as they got home .

Silas glanced at her , his brows knitted slightly .

Sorry for what ? For using your reputation to deal with them .

Does that bother you ? And this necklace … Thank you for lending it to me .

Ill take it off and give it back now .

The necklace was worth millions not that it was a fortune for him , but it certainly was for most people .

Calliope felt undeserving of it .

She assumed Silas was just being courteous , offering her the necklace hed just acquired .

After all , everyone knew Silas had someone special in his heart .

He was so exceptional , so flawless , yet always distant from romance it spoke volumes .

He must have gone through great lengths to acquire this necklace , likely intending it for the woman he truly *** cared about .

Taking her place and wearing the necklace felt inappropriate .

1/2 16:10 AL .

C Now her eyes , clear and bright , locked onto Silas .

Her small , delicate features , touched with a hint of makeup , made her look stunning today , like a flower blooming in the rain , vibrant and fresh .

In her haste to remove the necklace , she struggled , her face flushing with effort .
