A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging From Dust Novel

Chapter 456 Chapter 456 But she did mention it wasnt a hundred percent certain theres always a risk .

There might be risks , but maybe she wasnt giving it her all either .

Horatio figured no one really knew Calliope , especially not how she felt right now .

She was the one calling the shots .

Maybe shed even revenged herself on them .

All they could do was try to make amends , but who knew how it would turn out ? After the meeting , Calliope was swamped with company work .

Horatio and Monty , on the other hand , seemed to have had a change of heart .

They were all about her , constantly bringing her food and little gifts .

They used to act like she was invisible , but now they were in and out of her office all the time , asking if she needed this or that , all smiles and enthusiasm .

As the day wound down , Monty piped up , Callie , how about coming home for dinner tonight ? Its been ages since the family sat down together for a meal ! Calliope glanced at Monty , a hint of amusement in her eyes .

Are you sure Zeldas going to be thrilled to have me over ? Coming home isnt out of the question , but maybe talk it over with the family first before you extend the invite .

Gathering her things , she turned to Franco and said , Ready to go ? She didnt pay much attention to Monty and Horatio after that .

Monty looked awkward , stealing a glance at Calliope with some hesitance but ultimately keeping quiet .

Horatio waited until Calliope was out of earshot before turning to Monty .

Its going to take time for her to come around .

Yeah , Monty sighed .

We really need to talk to your mom .

She cant keep holding this grudge against Callie .

True , Horatio agreed with a frown .

As level headed as they tried to be , their mother had always had it out for Calliope .

Shed nearly lost her life during childbirth and had held that against Calliope ever since , convinced she was a bad omen .

It had driven an irreparable wedge between mother and daughter .

Calliope and Franco made their way to the parking lot when her phone suddenly buzzed .

What did you say ? Calliopes expression shifted as she answered the call .

Really ? I got it , Ill find a time to head back , she said , her face turning serious as she ended the call .

What happened ? Franco asked , pausing with the car door open , concern etched on his face .

Calliope shook her head thoughtfully .

Nothing major , just need to head back to the countryside for a bit .

Franco nodded .

If anything comes up , let me know .

Dont worry .

Whatever I promised , Ill sort it out for you .

Thanks ! Calliope gave him a nod before getting into the car .

Once she was home , her mind was still spinning with thoughts .

She didnt even notice when Silas came in , and by the time she came back to the reality , Silas had already sat beside her .

Whats wrong ? Something on your mind ? Yeah , I used to live with my grandpa in the countryside .

I got word today that the old house is going to be torn down .

They want me to go back and sort through some things .

Her gaze dropped .

Thats a place where my grandpa and I have stayed for quite long time .

1/2 09:14 Chapter 430 You dont want it taken down ? Silas asked .

Calliope shook her head .

Theyve talked about demolishing it for a while now , because of me , its been delayed .

But now the village needs the space , and I cant hold onto it any longer .
