A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging From Dust Novel

Chapter 380 Fleur stood there , her gaze icy as she stared at Gideon , her anger reaching a boiling point .

Then her eyes flicked over to Calliope , who remained as composed as ever , lounging casually in her seat With a shrug Calliope rose to her feet Im going to chat with Eamon , she announced before heading out to the backyard , leaving the grand hall to Fleur and her two companions .

When Calliope was out of sight , Fleur stormed over to Gideon and slapped him across the face .

Gideon , what foolery are you up to ? she demanded .

Youre my son , but Im extremely disappointed in you ! What did you just say ? That youre having second thoughts ? That you want to be with her ? Shes with Silas , for heavens sake ! Are you really going to compete with him over a woman ? You were the one who wanted this marnage , and now youre the one saying you dont ? How old are you ? Is this some kind of game to you ? Gideons plans to marry Yvette had been an embarrassment for Fleur .

Now , with Gideon talking about calling it off , and even dragging Calliope into the decision making , Fleur was beside herself with frustration Do you realize how infuriating this is ? she continued .

Now youre having regrets ? What were you even thinking back then ? If you hadnt run off over this woman , Calliope would probably be your wife by now .

Heck , you might even have a kid already ! She may not be perfect , but shes miles better than this country bumpkin ! Fleur spared no kindness for Yvette , her disdain painfully clear as she spat out terms like country bumpkin .

The thought of Yvettes unhelpful , burdensome family only fueled her contempt .

Fleurs vision for Yvette was clear : once she married into the Baker family , she must sever all ties with her past .

Yvettes face turned ashen , her expression pained .

She knew Fleur looked down on her , but it was unbearable to be insulted to her face , right in front of Gideon .

She clenched her fists , her anger barely contained .

Wasnt it you who opposed us in the first place ? Gideon stepped forward , meeting Fleurs gaze with a sardonic smile .

If it hadnt been for your interference , none of this would have happened Interference ? Fleurs eyes narrowed .

I may have been against it , but the wedding still happened .

Did I tell you to run off ? After speaking Fleur cast another scornful glance at Yvette .

Its all because of this little witch .

If she hadnt seduced you , none of this would have happened ! If it werent for her , you wouldnt have left Calliope .

Calliope wouldnt have married Silas .

And Silas wouldnt be making life so difficult for you and your father ! Fleurs anger was palpable as she looked at Yvette .

Yvette bit her lip , her nails digging into her palms .

She seemed numb to the pain , focused only on the confrontation before her .

Tm sorry , she murmured .

But , Gideon , Fleur , for the babys sake , please , can we not do this ? She lowered her head , tears threatening to spill from her eyes .

Reur glanced at Yvettes belly , taking a deep breath .

At least you have some sense .

That child is very important to us .

Gideon , however , couldnt hide his growing disdain for Yvette .

He felt no attachment to the child and found himself resenting Yvette more with each passing day .

During the wedding fiasco , it had been her phone call that threw everything into chaos .

He couldnt shake the suspicion that shed timed it deliberately .
