A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging From Dust Novel

Chapter 400 Verity took a sip and her eyes widened with a sudden realization .

She looked over at Calliope , excitement evident on her face .

She gave Calliope a knowing wink .

Calliope popped a piece of roast beef into her mouth and nodded back at Verity .

Verity covered her mouth with her hand , glancing from Yvette to Fleur with a mischievous , almost gossipy expression .

So , its true , huh ? Fleur , are you sure shes telling the truth ? Has she even been to the doctor ? Did you see her ultrasound report ? Have you spoken to the doctor personally ? What if shes faking it and then stages a miscarriage or something ? Oh , wouldnt that be a scandal ! Yvettes face soured , and she shot a look at Verity , Verity , I really am pregnant .

If you dont believe me , I can show you the hospital report ! Ive just been too busy to get everything sorted out with the clinic .

Once the wedding is over , Ill take care of all that ! After saying this , Yvette glanced at Calliope again , suspicion clouding her eyes .

Did Calliope know something ? Why did it seem like she knew everything , even the things Yvette had planned secretly ? The thought made Yvettes skin crawl .

It couldnt be possible .

Calliope wasnt in her head , so how could she know what Yvette was thinking ? Verity , if you keep suggesting things like this , and something happens to the baby , Ill hold you responsible , Fleur chimed in , her voice tight with frustration .

Especially as Eamon , sitting quietly , showed no signs of joy at the news of a new addition to the family .

His calm demeanor made her feel uneasy .

That was her grandchild ! Shouldnt the news of the Baker family having a new generation be a cause for celebration ? Even if she wasnt thrilled about Yvette , at least Yvette was carrying on the family line .

Wow , Fleur , thats a bit much , Verity replied , feigning shock .

I didnt do anything to her .

Im just saying , her familys not exactly well off , and she might be trying to pull a fast one on you for some benefit ! What if shes really tricking you ? What then ? Verity , Ive never done anything to you .

Why are you so suspicious of me ? Yvette snapped , her frustration bubbling over .

She hadnt done anything wrong , but Verity was always siding with Calliope , like some overeager puppy , barking at every word Calliope uttered .

Oh , Im just saying ! Verity laughed , Ive been watching too many of those soap operas lately .

Makes everyone seem like theyre up to something .

Yvette fell silent ; unable to find a response .

Gideon sat next to Yvette , casting a disapproving glance at his mother before his gaze drifted to Calliope .

Even the news of Yvettes pregnancy hadnt stirred Calliope at all .

It seemed like she truly didnt care about him anymore .

This realization tightened something in his chest , filling him with regret .

Alright , lets eat , Eamon finally spoke up .

Pregnancy is good news , but the wedding is tomorrow , and it will be exhausting .

Take care of yourself .

No one dared to argue further , and they all turned their attention back to their plates .

Calliope continued to eat quietly , her movements graceful as she occasionally peeled shrimp for her grandfather .

14.09 Chapter Gideon kept stealing glances at Calliope , then back at Yvette , noticing more and more how different the two women were .
