A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging From Dust Novel

Chapter 391 Well , originally Mr.

Myers had sifted through the Baker family, and after much deliberation , he finally settled on Gideon , Damien remarked , taking a sip of his coffee .

Back then , Mr.

Myers had high hopes for Gideon .

The Baker family wasnt exactly brimming with talent ; most members of Mr.

Myers generation didnt quite cut it .

The younger ones were either too young or not quite up to the task .

Gideon seemed to be the best of the bunch , Damien continued , glancing at Calliope out of the corner of his eye .

Is there something you want to say ? Calliope asked , sensing there was more on his mind .

Well , there seemed to be another reason Mr.

Myers chose Gideon , Damien recalled .

What reason ? Calliope asked , intrigued .

What made him think Gideon was a good pick ? Honestly , she once thought Gideon was promising too .

But the more time she spent with him , the more she realized he wasnt all that .

Love had blinded her at first , but now she saw things clearly Gideon wasnt much to write home about .

He was often a complainer , and many times she found herself sorting out his messes .

Thinking about it now gave her an overwhelming sense of frustration .

It seemed Mr.

Myers had you in mind , Damien said after a moment of thought .

He wasnt particularly impressed with Gideon , but he seemed to want to give him a chance because of you .

But Gideon never seemed to believe Mr.

Myers intended to mentor him , Damien added .

He was given plenty of opportunities , but he never seized them .

Even as an outsider , Damien found it frustrating to watch .

If he had been given such chances , hed have clung to them for dear life .

But Gideon , like a fool , let them slip by , choosing to wallow in self pity instead .

Calliope gave Damien a surprised look .

For me ? Thats my guess , Damien clarified .

Mr.

Myers never explicitly said so , but I remember him mentioning that if Gideon were to take over the Baker family , your position would improve as well .

It seemed he always wanted you to have a better life , Damien said , looking at Calliope .

He suspected Mr.

Myers had long been fond of her , but given her relationship with his nephew , he couldnt exactly make a move .

Calliope chuckled softly .

She doubted it was true .

It was no secret that Silas had someone else in his heart .

You dont believe me , do you ? Damien frowned .

Its not that , she replied .

Yes , it is .

You can ask Mr.

Myers yourself .

I think Im right about this ! Damien insisted with conviction .

Alright , Calliope said with a smile , standing up after finishing her meal .

Are you heading out , maam ? Damien asked .

Yes , Calliope nodded .

I have a few people to meet today .

Oh , and Damien , could you take care of Millic me ? Where should I take him ? Damien inquired .

To the old Baker estate .

Let Million keep Eamon company for a few days .

If you have time , join them for a game of chess .

Calliope knew Silas often had Damien play chess with Eamon .

They got along well , and Million played chess too .

It would be entertaining .

And what about you ? Should someone accompany you ? Damien asked .

Mr.

Myers instructed us to look after 11.22 Chapter 391 you , to stay close by because hes worried about your safety .

Calliope chuckled at Damiens earnestness .

Even though we might not be much help if theres trouble , and you can probably handle yourself just fine … having someone with you is better .

We can carry your bags when you shop , and drive you wherever you need to go …
