A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging From Dust Novel

Chapter 311 Chapter 311 About an hour later , Valerian gently opened Lisettes bedroom door .

Lisette , are you okay ? He saw her sitting there , looking all kinds of upset , and his heart ached for her .

Im sorry , its all my fault .

I shouldnt have let you go there .

Valerian , its not your fault , Lisette replied .

She was wearing a simple nightgown , her eyes puffy and red , cheeks flushed from crying .

Valerian couldnt help but notice how beautiful she looked , more so now than ever .

She had grown up , no longer the little girl he remembered .

She had become a young woman , and it was hard not to notice .

Her skin was smooth as cream , soft and inviting like a ripe cherry .

Her nightgown was adorned with little pink peaches , accentuating her delicate frame .

He swallowed hard , feeling a twinge of guilt .

Lisettes neckline revealed more than it should have , and the loose straps hinted at things he shouldnt be seeing .

Lisette noticed his gaze but didnt acknowledge it .

Instead , she looked even more dejected and said , Valerian , was I really that embarrassing ? No ! Of course not .

Its just us here , no outsiders .

Youre our baby sister .

No ones judging you ! Valerian quickly reassured her , stepping forward to sit beside her .

The scent of her freshly washed hair reached him , and the silk of her nightgown barely concealed the curves beneath .

Her legs , long and perfectly shaped , peeked out from the short hem .

Valerian , you dont resent me , do you ? Lisette murmured , clutching his arm and leaning closer .

Valerian tensed up , unsure of what to do .

He wanted to pull back , but she held on , pressing even closer .

Why are you avoiding me , Valerian ? Do you really resent me ? she asked , letting go and looking down as if on the verge of tears .

Her nightgown slipped a little , revealing more of her skin , but she seemed oblivious , softly crying .

Her nightgown slipped a little , revealing more of Lisette , I dont resent you .

I could never resent you .

I Im crazy about you ! Valerian blurted out , his heart pounding wildly .

He couldnt stop himself .

He leaned forward and kissed Lisette .

Lisette froze , resisting for a moment , until he let her go .

She looked utterly shocked .

Valerian … What are you doing ? she exclaimed , wiping her mouth in disbelief .

Im sorry ! Valerian stammered .

I Im just so in love with you ! His cheeks turned crimson , heart racing with a mix of fear and exhilaration .

But Im your sister ! Lisettes eyes filled with tears .

It isnt right ! Valerian watched her reaction .

She said it wasnt right , but she didnt say she hated him .

A flicker of hope sparked in his heart .

Lisette , I I love you , he said , looking at her earnestly .

Would you consider being with me ? No , we cant do that .

People will talk ! Lisette shook her head .

Valerian , please .

Youre scaring me ! Lisette , Im really in love with you .

Please , think about it ! Valerian pleaded .

He glanced at her , feeling a mix of desperation and hope .

Im sorry for scaring you .

Ill go … Wait for your answer .

11:01 S Chapter 311 The next day , in the backyard of Kirin Fondue .

Calliope was gently swaying on the porch swing when Fagan handed her the documents .

Maam , this is Dante Lopezs treatment plan .

Mr.

Myers asked me to deliver it to you .
