A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging From Dust Novel

Chapter 399 When Gideon heard those words , he shot a sour glance at Calliope across the table .

It was as if every syllable .

was aimed directly at him .

He couldnt help but reminisce about the past , back when Calliope would always be around him .

Now , she didnt even bother to acknowledge his presence , leaving him with no chance to speak with her .

It left a bitter taste in his mouth .

Gideon found himself missing the old Calliope , yearning for the good old days .

Initially , he thought Yvette was great , but now it seemed all her goodness was just a facade .

Shed changed , and it was obvious she was just buttering him up to secure their engagement .

Recently , hed met a girl who bore a slight resemblance to Calliope , but even with her , he couldnt find that same spark .

He used to find Calliopes attention annoying , but now , no matter how hard he tried , he couldnt recreate that feeling .

He glanced over at Calliope and , in some wild , irrational moments , he thought about whisking her away .

Just take her somewhere , where she would be his and his alone , whether she liked it or not .

Callie , are you aiming that little jab at someone in particular ? Verity teased , nudging Calliope with the air of someone who loved stirring the pot .

Oh , Im not pointing fingers , Calliope replied with a casual smile .

Just sharing a thought .

What I dont want , I usually just toss away .

She continued , Dont take it to heart , dear niece in law .

Its just that what some people discard , others might find to be a treasure .

People are different , right ? Calliopes words were like a shot of cold espresso to Yvette , making her visibly tense .

If there was any doubt about her target before , that last comment erased it .

Verity was beside herself , thoroughly enjoying the drama .

Yvette , on the other hand , kept her frustration bottled up .

Being the newest member of the family , she had no allies at the table and could only stew in silence .

Lets just eat , shall we ? Less talking , more chewing ! Fleur interjected , casting a glance at Yvette .

No ones gonna think youre mute if you keep quiet .

But now youre eating for two , so dig in ! As she spoke , Fleurs face lit up with a mischievous grin as she turned to Eamon .

Dad , Ive got some big news ! Were having a real double celebration here .

Bet you all didnt know , but Yvettes got a little one on the way .

Thats the first of the next generation ! Its our familys first grandchild ! Mom … Yvette blushed , I thought we were keeping that under wraps for now .

This is a celebration! No need to keep it secret , Fleur said , waving her hand dismissively .

Youre getting married tomorrow , and now theres a baby on the way .

Its a time for joy , no need to hide it ! Fleur then shot a look at Calliope .

Callie , now that Yvettes expecting , you should look out for her .

Calliope shrugged , Im not sure about that .

What if something goes wrong and I get blamed ? Fleur frowned , Callie , thats not a very nice thing to say .

Are you jealous because Yvettes having a baby before you ? Whats there to be jealous of ? Shes only just pregnant , its not like the babys here yet .

Besides , who knows about the quality of this pregnancy ? Have you even taken her to the doctor , Fleur ? Pregnancy means setting up health checks , you know .

Has my new niece in law been checked out ? Knowing youre pregnant and not getting things in order is a bit odd , isnt it ? 1/2 14:08 Chapter 399 Calliopes words fell like a hammer , each one loaded with implications and hidden meanings .
