A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging From Dust Novel

Chapter 379 What do you mean , from the beginning ? Calliope asked , her voice tinged with confusion .

When did you start fancying Silas ? Gideon sneered , crossing his arms .

Was it when you were still with me ? Were you already into him then ? Did both of you use me as a stepping stone ? The more Gideon thought about it , the angrier he got .

He clutched his chest dramatically .

So , Im the only fool here ? Who said you were a stepping stone , Gideon ? Are you out of your mind ? Isnt everything thats happening today because of your own choices ? Are you really going to blame others ? Calliope looked at Gideon , utterly exasperated .

He was spiraling , blaming everyone else for his own mess .

But honestly , she had to thank him .

Without him , she wouldnt have realized how great Silas was .

Silas was handsome , wealthy , and so much kinder than Gideon .

Youre saying this is my fault ? No way ! You two planned this from the start , didnt you ? Calliope , stop playing dumb .

You started getting close to Silas right when you first came to my family estate , didnt you ? He only showed up at the estate when he knew youd be there … You two had plenty of private conversations .

Are you saying nothing was going on ? Gideon was devastated .

He had thought he was the one who had cast aside Calliope , but now he realized it was the other way around .

He was just a stepping stone for her ! Calliope paused , replaying past events in her mind .

She often went to the Baker estate because of Gideon .

She hadnt thought much of it before , but now that Gideon mentioned it , she realized she always ran into Silas there .

At the time , she didnt think Silas was approachable .

Instead , she found him intimidating .

Maybe it was because everyone in the Baker family seemed to fear him , so she was wary of him too , even though Silas had never done anything to harm her .

Thinking back , Silas did have a few private conversations with her , but they werent anything suspicious .

He seemed to just be giving her advice .

He warned her about Fleur , who always made her do chores .

He told her she didnt need to bend over backward to please Fleur .

He said it only lowered her worth and made Fleur dislike her more .

At the time , she was angry , suspecting Silas of trying to sabotage her relationship with Gideon .

She thought Silas didnt like her .

So , her impression of Silas had been less than favorable .

But when looking back , it seemed Silas genuinely wanted to help her .

Calliope couldnt help but chuckle at the realization .

She had misjudged Silas .

From the start , he had been looking out for her .

A warm feeling washed over her as she thought about it .

She glanced down at Gideon , sprawled on the floor .

Gideon , I actually owe you thanks .

Without you , I wouldnt have realized how great Silas is .

I wouldnt have such a wonderful husband ! Gideon looked up , his face twitching with emotion .

As he opened his mouth to speak , Calliope called out , Fleur ? Fleur and Yvette had been standing nearby , unnoticed until now .

Yvettes cheeks were flushed red .

There was a clear handprint across her face .

Probably , Fleur had slapped her .

Yvettes eyes were wet with unshed tears , glaring daggers at Gideon .

Mom ?! Gideon scrambled to his feet , panic overtaking him .
