A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging From Dust Novel

Chapter 33 Rafferty called that guy over .

He was a blonde , barely in his twenties .

But from the way he talked , it was clear he knew his stuff .

He had modified plenty of race cars and had a knack for pinpointing exactly what was wrong with a vehicle .

Calliope had a chat with him and secured his help for Saturday .

Moneys not an issue , but I need you to fix that car and make sure its running perfectly .

I cant have anything happening to it , Calliope said seriously to the young mechanic .

Dont worry , this is what I do best .

If youre his friend , the money doesnt matter .

After he left , Rafferty , ever the curious one , asked , Who are you helping out ? My bro , Norton Shepherd , Calliope replied , her eyes thoughtful .

You met him once when he came around looking for me .

Oh , I remember him .

Hes a racer ? Yeah , he participates in races from time to time .

Her thoughts drifted back to her previous life .

Shed never received any care from her own brothers since a kid ; in fact , there were other three brothers whod always been showing much family affection to her .

These brothers had been adopted by her grandfather and had always looked out for her when she was a child .

Even after she returned to the Jewell family , whenever she visited the countryside , they went out of their way to make her feel cherished .

She regretted neglecting them , even arguing with them over her biological brothers .

Her heart ached at the memories .

In her past life , Norton had been in an accident during a race the very race that was looming now .

The thought of how Norton had suffered haunted her .

She had been too late to save him , and his life had become a living nightmare .

If only shed ignored Valerian , nothing wouldnt have happened to Norton , and even if there was , it wouldnt have been that severe .

Later on , when she intended to make up for it , it was futile .

Norton had already caught in a miserable state .

But this time , she vowed , things would be different .

She would protect Norton , ensure nothing happened to him .

That evening , back at home , Calliope was preoccupied with thoughts of Norton and Silas .

Silas had left that morning in a huff , and she wanted to make it up to him that night .

She even cooked a few dishes herself .

But she waited until midnight , and Silas never came home .

Instead , she received a text saying he wouldnt be back he had to go on a business trip .

Calliopes heart sank ; it seemed Silas was really upset .

By Saturday , Silas still hadnt returned .

On the day , Calliope put Silas out of her mind .

She contacted the young mechanic and discussed potential , issues .

By evening , they headed straight to the race track .

The race was set to take place on a winding mountain road 1/2 16:10 nearby .

When Calliope arrived , the place was buzzing with people .

She immediately spotted Valerian , who was standing with Lisette , who was wearing a white sundress , smiling warmly at him .

As she turned , Lisette noticed Calliope .

Callie , why are you here ? Lisette beamed , walking over to Calliope .

Are you here to watch Valerians race ? Hes going to take first place today ! Valerian followed Lisette over , giving Calliopes companion a skeptical look and asked grumpily , Whos this ? What kind of misfit friends are you hanging out with ?
