A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging From Dust Novel

Chapter 377 Verity sat comfortably on the couch , sipping her coffee with the air of someone watching an amusing sitcom .

Her eyes flicked between Calliope and Gideon , clearly enjoying the unfolding drama .

After a while , she couldnt help but interrupt , So , Gideon , second thoughts yet ? She raised an eyebrow , her tone teasing .

The weddings just around the corner .

Backing out now would be a disaster ! She smirked , recalling .

Remember the last wedding fiasco ? Silas had to step in and save the day .

If you mess this up again , I wouldnt be surprised if your grandfather you packing from the Baker family ! Gideon shot her an annoyed glance .

Verity , Ive got it under control .

Thanks .

Really ? Verity shrugged nonchalantly .

Just a friendly reminder .

If youre thinking of calling it off , youd better do it sooner rather than later .

Your parents wont be thrill and theyll probably drag you down the aisle if they have to .

Gideon gave Verity a lingering look but said nothing , his gaze drifting toward Calliope .

Calliope was busy with her phone .

She texted Silas , assuring him she was being good and hadnt paid much attention to Gideon , though he tried to talk to her again .

Verity glanced over , her lips curling into a sly smile .

Texting Silas , huh , Callie ? It seems like things are pretty cozy between you two ! Gideons face turned a shade paler at that .

Verity leaned in , clearly enjoying the moment .

Gideon , dont tell me youre still in love with Callie .

Shes not your ex anymore , and shes certainly not the one you left at altar .

Shes family now ! In our kind of family , appearances matter .

You cant do whatever you please , or people will start talking .

Thoroughly entertained by the chaos , Verity couldnt care less if Gideons wedding plans fell apart .

After a few more teasing comments , she turned to Calliope .

Callie , Im heading over to help Eamon with some things .

You stay here and relax .

With that , Verity left , and soon enough , everyone else found reasons to scatter , leaving Calliope and Gideon alone in the living room .

Gwatched Calliope intensely .

Callie , Ive been having second thoughts .

Calliope kept her focus on her phone , tapping away messages and ignoring Gideon .

Despite feeling a sting of disappointment , Gideon pressed on , Callie , you know Ive always loved you .

That never changed .

Our wedding back then … it wasnt what you thi You misunderstood .

Yvette really was in a tough spot back then .

She was scared , and I went to help her .

I planned to return in time , but things got delayed .

I thought you could handle the ceremony without me .

I never imagined youd go through with it and marry my uncle instead .

Ive been regretting it ever since .

Callie , you still have feelings for me , dont you ? Im sure you do .

You loved me for so long .

I cant believe you just stopped .

With a confident look , he continued , Callie , Im getting married , but if you say the word , Ill call it off .

Just tell me not to go through with it , and I wont .
