A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging From Dust Novel

Chapter 30 Silas didnt say a word , just raised his hand to press hers .

Once I give something away , I never take it back .

Huh ? Its yours now .

Silas looked at her , a hint of something like irritation in his eyes .

But … He didnt let her finish , striding ahead with purpose .

Calliope carefully followed behind Silas .

Well , thank you , I guess ? You can consider me your husband , just like the agreement says .

Silas came to an abrupt stop , and Calliope , not expecting it , walked right into his broad back .

Her body pressed against his , and she could feel the warmth radiating from him , solid and reassuring .

Calliope froze , her heart racing in her chest .

Silas turned around , and since she hadnt moved , she found herself directly in his embrace .

His arms were warm and strong .

For a moment , Calliope was dazed , feeling it was strangely familiar , an inexplicable sense of safety creeping over her because of him .

Even though he intimidated her a bit , she couldnt deny the comfort he brought her .

He had always seemed like some sort of unapproachable figure to her , but right now , he seemed like a guardian angel , always there to protect her .

Looking up , she met his eyes .

Silas inadvertently locked eyes with her , and his heart started beating faster .

Feeling the heat rise to his ears , he quickly took two steps back .

I have some work to do in the study .

You should rest .

With that , he turned and almost fled to his study .

Calliope watched him retreat so hastily and felt a chill settle in her heart .

Silas must dislike her touching him .

Was he upset ? After standing there for a moment , she glanced at the door next to Silass study .

Adah had mentioned that she could go into any room except that one .

Silas didnt allow anyone in there , not even Adah to clean .

Whatever was in there was clearly super important to him .

Calliope speculated that it might have something to do with the woman he deeply cared about .

She couldnt help but wonder what kind of woman wouldnt be interested in a man like Silas or what kind of woman he couldnt win over .

There was a pang of melancholy in her heart .

Calliope returned to her room , washed up , and went to bed .

Meanwhile , Silas sat in his study for a long time , trying to calm his wildly beating heart .

He forced himself to suppress the urge to get closer to her .

He knew she hadnt fully let go of Gideon ; she 1/2 16:10 Chapter 30 probably still cared about him and was only with him to provoke Gideon .

If he showed any emotion , he feared she would be frightened .

He couldnt let her be afraid .

That night , Calliope once again dreamed of her past life .

She dreamed of being beaten until she was barely conscious , her body covered in bruises and blood .

She begged for mercy , desperately trying to protect her dignity .

She dreamed of calling out for help , but no one came to her aid .

She heard her brothers laughing with Lisette , celebrating a birthday .

She dreamed of Gideon watching a movie with Yvette , ignoring her calls .

She felt so cold , shivering as she hugged herself tightly .

Then , suddenly , a bright light surrounded a figure approaching her .

She couldnt make out who it was , but the figure came to her , bending down to gently embrace her .

She felt warmth and a sense of peace .
