A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging From Dust Novel

Chapter 49 That night , Calliope got a real taste of Silass capabilities .

He kept her entertained the entire evening , and by the end of it , she was in a blissful haze , completely exhausted .

Her first experience was surprisingly pleasant though .

She could feel that Silas was considerate throughout , making sure not to overwhelm her or leave her with any unpleasant memories .

The downside of the nights indulgence was apparent the next morning .

When Calliope woke up , she felt like a ragdoll , every part of her body languid and heavy .

Attempting to get out of bed , she nearly collapsed , her legs giving way beneath her .

Awake already ? Silas walked in , looking every bit the composed , dapper gentleman in his suit , a stark contrast to the wild man of the previous night .

I brought breakfast up for you .

Feel free to catch some more sleep , he said , his voice soothing as he placed a tray of food by her bedside .

Thanks , Calliope gazed at him , still feeling a tad shy .

Ive got to head to the office .

If you need anything , tell Adah or just call me .

Silas approached her , gently inquiring , Are you feeling okay ? Calliope nodded , though she felt a bit of soreness , her legs especially fatigued .

Then Ill be off , he said , bending down to plant a tender kiss on her forehead before leaving .

After freshening up and nibbling on her breakfast , Calliope found herself too restless to go back to sleep .

Instead , she settled on the balcony with a book .

Halfway through her reading , her phone buzzed with a call from her mother , Zelda .

Zelda wanted to meet for a meal at a restaurant , which made Calliope raise an eyebrow .

It was rare for Zelda to call her , even more so to arrange a meeting .

Even if Calliope stayed out all night , Zelda wouldnt bat an eyelid .

Yet , for Lisette , Zelda would turn the world upside down if she vanished for even a minute .

Curious about what Zelda might want , Calliope decided to meet her at the restaurant .

She arrived just as dinner time was approaching , finding Zelda already waiting with a few others in a private room .

Calliope , why are you so late ? Zelda snapped .

Your father and I have been waiting here for ages .

Have you no manners to arrive on time ? Zeldas face was a picture of irritation , and if not for the presence of Gideon and the others , she might have already exploded .

Calliope shot her mother a cool glance .

You didnt mention a time , just said to meet here .

Isnt it natural to assume it would be around dinner ? Or did you invite me to a restaurant without intending to feed me ? Why not just meet on the sidewalk then , save a few bucks ? Her words left Zeldas expression sour .

Sis , dont be upset .

Mom just wants to discuss something with you , Lisette chimed in , playing the peacemaker .

Look , were not exactly close , so lets drop the sis act .

If you called me grandpa , maybe Id entertain it , but sis ? Spare me , Calliope scoffed , pulling out a chair and sitting down .

09:41 Alright , Im here .

Lets cut to the chase .

Whats this all about ? Her gaze swept over the room , landing on the visibly uncomfortable faces of Fleur and Gideon .
