A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging From Dust Novel

Chapter 401 After dinner , Calliope and Eamon wrapped up a game of chess , and she was ready to head out .

As soon as she stepped outside , Gideon seized the moment to follow her .

Im getting married tomorrow .

Gideon moved to stand in front of Calliope , looking her straight in the eyes .

If you dont speak up now , youll lose your chance .

Im about to marry her .

He just couldnt let it go .

He was still holding onto a fantasy about her .

He couldnt believe she had moved on so quickly .

It didnt make sense ; she had once loved him with such intensity , as if her life depended on it .

Calliopes mouth twitched .

Seriously , Gideon ? Tomorrows your wedding .

Of course , I know .

Ive been helping with the planning all this time .

Im your aunt by marriage , after all .

I may be your little aunt , but Im not that unreliable .

And what do you mean I wont have a chance if I dont speak up ? What chance do I even need ? A chance to pick up trash ? Gideon , you were someone I tossed into the trash .

The dumpsters filthy , why would I ever retrieve anything from it ? Id send it straight to the incinerator ! Gideons face turned sour .

You didnt used to talk like this .

Calliope shot a glance at Gideon .

People change , Gideon .

Havent you changed for Yvette ? Shes pregnant , for crying out loud .

What more do you want ? Dont you think its inappropriate to treat a pregnant woman like this ? Are you a man or what ? Gideon stared intently at Calliope .

But its you that I love ! Oh ? You love me , yet Yvettes the one expecting ? Is that what you call love ? Gideons face turned beet red , and he clenched his fists .

I … I just didnt realize I loved you .

Callie , give me another chance .

Ill do whatever it takes ! I want to win you back .

Just tell me how! No matter what it takes ! Calliope gave Gideon a once over .

And why on earth do you think Id give you that chance ? Take a good look at yourself .

How do you even compare to Silas? Since I met Silas , I realized I had been stepping in something unpleasant before .

Gideon , wake up .

Calliope looked at Gideon with such disdain , as if he were nothing more than a smelly pile of garbage .

Gideon , youre getting married tomorrow , and youre still trying to steal her from me ? A familiar , cool voice cut through the air , and Calliope instinctively turned her head .

Under the streetlamp , Silas stood tall in his black coat , his figure blending seamlessly into the night .

His eyes were bright , even in the darkness .

Silas ! Calliopes face lit up with a smile upon seeing him .

She broke into a jog and leaped into Silass arms , hugging him tightly .

Silas wrapped his arms around her , lifting his gaze to meet Gideons .

He didnt say a word , but his eyes were ice cold , carrying a powerful , intimidating presence .

Gideon felt an overwhelming pressure , unable to meet Silass gaze or muster any defiance .

He glanced at Calliope one last time .

The sight of her running toward him had made his heart race .

But she wasnt running into his arms .

In front of Silas , she seemed like a joyful child , nestled in his embrace , walking away without a backward glance .
