A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging From Dust Novel

Chapter 363 His face was strikingly handsome, and there was a devilish smirk playing on his lips .

Well , well , well , if it isnt my lifesaver ! Long time no see ! Nigel Howell made his way over to Calliopes side .

Heard you were dining here , so I just had to drop by and say hello ! Calliope just blinked at him .

Nigel pulled out the chair next to her , crossing his long legs casually , and raised his wine glass in Montys direction .

Hey there , are the Jewell family folks giving my lifesaver a hard time again ? Whats the deal ? Do you think my lifesaver looks like an easy target ? How exactly are you planning to mess with her , huh ? Nigels presence was so commanding that the entire private dining room seemed to shrink a little under his gaze .

With just a few words , he had Monty and his group looking a little pale .

Monty quickly plastered on a smile and said , Mr.

Howell , you must be joking .

Callie is my daughter .

Why would we ever bully her ? Were here because she wanted to dine at this club .

Nigels gaze settled on Calliope .

My lifesaver wants to eat here , and she needs you to bring her ? I doubt that .

Monty was momentarily taken aback .

If my lifesaver wants to dine here , she only needs to give me a call ! Besides , doesnt she have a husband who frequents this club ? Come to think of it , my lifesaver seems to have some pretty deep connections here too ! Nigels eyes sparkled with amusement as he looked at Calliope .

He was clearly enjoying himself .

His words left Monty at a loss for what to say .

Horatio , standing to the side , chimed in , Mr.

Howell , this is just a family matter .

No need for you to trouble yourself .

Were just having dinner .

Ill make sure to toast you later ! Nigel narrowed his eyes , that smirk still on his face .

And who do you think you are , offering me a toast ? Dont tell me youre trying to cozy up to me ? Looking to ride on my coattails , are we ? Horatio was left speechless .

This guy had a sharp tongue that made any conversation tough to navigate .

Just then , Zelda and Valerian returned .

Zelda seemed calmer now but her expression shifted when she saw Nigel .

She wasnt sure who Nigel was here for , but knowing his reputation , she greeted him warmly .

Mr.

Howell , what brings you to our little gathering ? Nigel replied , Certainly not here to see you , old witch .

Zeldas face turned pale .

Is there something you need , Mr.

Howell ? Valerian asked as he took a seat , glancing from Monty to Nigel .

Just saying hello to my lifesaver .

Nigel reached over and playfully ruffled Calliopes hair , leaving it a mess .

He chuckled , Look at that , now youre a little scruffy pup ! How adorable ! My lifesaver , through and through ! Calliope shot Nigel a glare .

Whats your problem ? Hands off ! I didnt touch anything I shouldnt have , so why the fuss ? Nigel said with a mock pout , his gaze dropping playfully .

Calliope gave him a fierce look .

So fierce and adorable , Nigel teased with a grin .

If Silas ever lets you go , give me a call .

Ill marry you myself ! Calliope rolled her eyes .

I should head out .

But remember, if anyone gives you trouble , come find me , okay, my dear lifesaver ?
