A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging From Dust Novel

Chapter 392 No need , Calliope shrugged .

Its not like Im heading to a dangerous place .

This is Capitalton , after all , Im just meeting a few friends to discuss some things .

Alright then , Damien replied , knowing well that if he tried to have someone follow her , shed catch on immediately .

And that would lead to a whole different set of problems .

Just keep me posted if anything comes up .

Sure thing .

Calliope slipped on her jacket , grabbed her purse , and headed out the door .

As her car pulled up to the Myers Manor gates , she was greeted by the sight of Gideon , a rather unique spectacle to behold .

His car was parked by the curb , and there he was , kneeling in the middle of the road , looking like a drowned rat that had spent the night under a relentless downpour .

Although , judging by his not entirely soaked state , he probably snuck into his car at some point .

No one could survive being out in that cold , heavy rain all night and still look as alive as he did .

Because the road was blocked , Calliope rolled down her window .

The security guard hurried over .

Maam , Ive tried getting him to leave , but he refuses .

He said hed rather die than leave without seeing you … Should I get someone to haul him off , or maybe call the police ? The guard looked like he was dealing with a migraine .

Yeah , go ahead and call the cops , Calliope instructed .

Yes , maam ! As the guard went to make the call , Gideon seemed to finally realize Calliope was there .

He started shuffling toward her on his knees .

Callie , I know I messed up ! he pleaded .

Please , dont do this to me .

Im begging you , just one word .

If you dont want me to get married , I wont , even if it means defying the whole world ! Callie , please , just say something ! I know I was wrong ! When we got married , it was Yvettes doing .

She deliberately sabotaged us because she was after my money ! I know I shouldnt have left then .

No matter what , I should have stayed by your side ! Gideon was kneeling there , far from the confident young man he used to be .

He looked utterly defeated , with a scraggly beard and an overall disheveled appearance .

Calliope gazed at him , then leaned out of her car window .

Buddy , could you move ? If you dont , I might just run you over .

Im not leaving ! Id rather die here ! Callie , seeing me like this , doesnt it make you feel anything ? Im sure you cant stand to see me suffer like this ! Gideon continued to shout , trying desperately to sway her .

Calliope revved the engine suddenly and drove the car straight toward Gideon .

As the car approached , a look of sheer panic crossed Gideons face .

He flinched so hard he wet himself , and when he realized he couldnt move out of the way in time , his heart nearly leapt out of his throat .

The car stopped with just an inch to spare , and the rush of air from the sudden stop sent a shiver down his 12:31 Chapter 392 spine .

His legs were shaking uncontrollably , and he had to catch his breath .

Calliope tilted her head , looking at him coolly .

Youve got one minute to get out of my way , or Im driving right over you .

Why do you have to go this far ? Gideon trembled from head to toe .

Callie , all I did was love you ! Are you moving or not ? Calliope asked , revving the engine once more .

Gideon scrambled to his feet and stumbled out of the way as fast as he could , barely managing to maintain his balance .
