A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging From Dust Novel

Chapter 45 Calliope really hadnt planned on taking the stuff Portia had prepared for her .

But Portia was insistent , practically shoving the bag into her hands .

You got this ! I know you can win Silas over ! By the time Calliope returned to the Myers Manor , it was already late .

She carried a shopping bag with a bracelet and a ring shed bought , along with the bag of items Portia had given her .

She had assumed Silas wouldnt be home yet , but as soon as she stepped through the door , she froze .

There was Silas , sitting casually on the couch , one leg crossed over the other , tapping away on his tablet .

At the sound of the door , he looked up , and their eyes met .

Calliopes mind immediately flashed to the items Portia had packed for her a collection of see through outfits , fox tails , condoms , and other … accessories .

Her face turned crimson in an instant .

Images flooded her mind , far too vivid and wildly inappropriate .

She tried desperately to shake off these thoughts , but each glance at Silas made it harder to control .

It didnt help that Silas was impossibly handsome , with his chiseled abs , long legs , and a captivating scent that lingered in the air .

Whats wrong ? he asked , his deep , smooth voice echoed in the air , his gaze carrying a hint of curiosity .

Calliope was like , !!! She was losing her mind ! What on earth was she thinking ? All Portias fault , with her crazy ideas ! If Silas found out she had planned to seduce him with those things , she was sure hed think she had ulterior motives .

Calliope took a deep breath , trying to act nonchalant as she changed her shoes .

Finally , she walked over to where Silas sat .

Youre back .

Yeah , Silas nodded .

Not happy to see me ? Not that ! Calliope quickly explained , Im really glad youre home .

Really glad ? Silas raised an eyebrow , a playful glint in his eyes , You mean it ? Absolutely , Calliope nodded eagerly .

Shed upset him once before , and she wasnt about to do it again.

Men were supposed to be easy to please , she assumed .

As for Portias ideas , well , those were best left untouched .

Using them felt a bit too forward , and she didnt want to give Silas the wrong impression .

If he misunderstood , shed be in serious trouble .

For a moment , a rare smile graced Silass face .

His voice was gentle as he asked , Why so late ? You didnt have Damien or the driver with you ? I went shopping with a friend , Calliope replied , thinking quickly .

I brought you a gift .

I hope you like it .

She handed the bags over to Silas , her eyes sparkling with both anticipation and nerves .

She knew Silas was accustomed to the best of everything , and while her gifts were expensive by normal standards , they might not impress him as much .

Still , she thought these items suited him perfectly .

Silas took the bags , looking somewhat surprised , For me ? Yeah .

Calliopes eyes twinkled as she watched him , hoping hed like her choice .

Silas opened the boxes .

One contained a pair of rings , the other a bracelet .

They werent extravagant , but they definitely werent cheap either .

Silas looked a bit taken aback , but he slipped the bracelet on his wrist .

I like it .
