A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging From Dust Novel

Chapter 41 Valerian , seriously , stop acting like youre my life coa ch .

Have you ever put food on my table , or clothes on my back , or even given me a dime for pocket money ? Im your brother ! Im just trying to look out for you ! Valerian retorted , frustration evident in his voice .

Are you really looking out for me ? Or are you just worried Ill embarrass you and the family ? Calliopes eyes flashed with a cold defiance .

Youve never considered me your sister , so quit minding my business .

Whats with the attitude , Calliope ? Valerian was taken aback by her bluntness , especially in front of his friends .

She had been all smiles with Norton earlier , but now she was making a scene .

Calliope glanced at him dismissively before turning on her heel and walking away , leaving Valerian simmering with anger .

His friends , who had been joking around , fell silent , sensing the tension and couldnt bring themself to interfere .

Hey , Valerian , you okay ? Lisette asked gently .

Do you think its safe for her to be alone out there ? Maybe you should give her a ride .

Why bother ? If she gets into trouble , thats on her ! Valerian huffed .

He had half a mind to follow her , but Lisettes words made him reconsider .

At least Lisette seemed to understand him .

If Calliope didnt want his help , then fine .

She could deal with whatever came her way on her own .

He couldnt fathom what had gotten into her lately .

Everything had been fine , and now she was acting out .

She had turned down marrying Gideon , and her relationship with Silas was a mess .

Did she think she was above everyone else ? He was sure shed come running back when reality hit her .

She always claimed he was unfair to her , but she never considered that Lisette was better than her in every way , and she had even saved his life once ! Lisette consoled him with a few kind words , and Valerian couldnt help but think how much more sensible Lisette was compared to Calliope .

Calliope went back at the Myers Manor .

She had expected Silas to return after these few days apart , but there was no sign of him- no calls , no messages .

While their relationship wasnt deeply rooted in emotion , the silence was unsettling .

Was he upset because she had been distant the other day ? She lay sprawled on her bed , contemplating her next move .

Seeking advice , she video called her friend Portia .

This isnt rocket science .

When he returns , seize the moment ! Portia uttered , You free tomorrow ? Come meet up , Ive got some gear for you ! What is it ? Calliope asked , curiosity piqued .

Youll see when you get it ! Portia replied mysteriously .

Alright .

Calliope asked after a moment of thought , Do you think I should call him ? Since Silas didnt reach out to her , she figured she should do it .

W 10.30 Chapter 41 Dont .

Let him come to you .

Itll be a surprise ! Convinced , Calliope agreed .

As the night wore on , they yawned and ended the call .

The following day , she met up with Portia , who handed her a bag with a secretive air .

Open it at home , Portia insisted .

Then they spent the afternoon shopping , not expecting to bump into Gideon and Yvette .
