A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging From Dust Novel

Chapter 34 How do you even talk to me like that ? The young mechanic , with his tousled blond hair , was taken aback .

He hadnt even said a word before being labeled as some sort of misfit friend .

I can smell hes trouble just by looking at him .

Valerian furrowed his brows , clearly annoyed .

I dont need you here checking up on me .

Lisette with me is enough .

Youre always causing a scene .

Is it really appropriate for you to be here at this hour ? Oh , so its fine for her to come but not me ? Calliope shot back with a sarcastic laugh .

This isnt your place anyway .

And , for the record , Im not here for you .

Hey , Callie , dont be mad .

Valerians just worried about you , Lisette chimed in , trying to play peacemaker .

He didnt say you couldnt be here .

Its just a bit chaotic , and he doesnt want you to get into any trouble .

Im about to race , so I cant keep an eye on you , Valerian said .

Go home , and dont cause any trouble here .

Dont flatter yourself .

Im not here for you , Calliope retorted , dismissing Valerian .

She lifted her eyes and when she caught sight of Norton , her face lit up .

Hey , bro ! She sprinted towards Norton .

Clad in his racing suit , Norton stood tall at six foot two , with his slightly tousled hair and striking features that made him stand out in any crowd .

As Calliope dashed toward him , Norton caught her in a warm embrace , ruffling her hair affectionately .

At first , he was caught off guard , unsure if she was really calling out to him .

But when she ran into his arms , his face broke into a broad grin .

She was indeed calling him ! His little Callie finally recognized him again ! Hey there , kiddo , you finally remembered you have a brother ? Norton teased her , his voice filled with affection .

I thought you might never want to acknowledge me again .

You returned everything I sent you , you know .

Never .

How could I not recognize you ? Calliopes voice muffled as she nestled into Nortons embrace , her own eyes stinging with emotion .

Im sorry , Norton .

Do you blame me ? I was wrong before .

Now I know that you all care about me the most .

Silly girl .

No matter what you do , I would never hold it against you , Norton assured her with a gentle smile .

Did you come here to cheer me on today ? Yes , Calliope nodded , her eyes reddened .

She remembered in her past life , even when Norton had been reduced to a shadow of his former self , he had never blamed her , even knowing she could have saved him but didnt .

Norton , wheres your car ? I brought someone to help check it out , Calliope asked Norton eagerly .

Norton initially wanted to refuse , but seeing the redness in Calliopes eyes , he couldnt bring himself to say no .

He relented and let Calliope and the mechanic head over to inspect his car .

Not far off , Lisette watched as Calliope ran into the arms of a handsome stranger .

She paused , a puzzled look crossing her face , and turned to Valerian beside her .

Valerian , do you know who that guy is ? Has Callie acknowledged a new brother or something ? Valerian felt a wave of frustration , especially when he saw Calliope being so affectionate with Norton .

It left him feeling unsettled .
