A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging From Dust Novel

Chapter 52 Zeldas expression was stern as she said , You and Gideon have been together for years .

Its fine to act up a bit , but once youve had your fun , you should really let it go .

Gideons already apologized , what more do you want ? Well , he could start by getting down on his knees and begging me .

Calliope glanced at Gideon .

But arent you guys ordering anything ? Arent you hungry ? I need to eat first before I can deal with all this .

Though reluctant , Zelda knew she had a job to do .

She handed the menu over to Calliope .

Fine , you order .

Maybe then we can talk some sense .

Calliope started browsing the menu while Zelda tried to reason with her , pouring her heart out .

Fleur joined in , doing her best to persuade Calliope , even bringing up shares in the family business , promising half would be Calliopes .

You like Gideon , so you should be with him , Fleur insisted .

I know Ive been a bit biased before , but Ill try to change .

Calliope continued to focus on the menu , not caring about what they said .

By the time they finished talking , shed practically decided on the entire menu .

She looked up and smiled sweetly at Fleur .

Oh , Fleur , youre funny .

What do you mean by giving me half ? Those shares already ended up in my pocket , theyre mine now , not your sons .

How could he divide that ? Do I look like a fool to you ? Should I hand over my shares so he can give me half back ? Didnt they teach you math ? Fleurs face darkened .

Callie , the shares arent whats important .

Didnt you say you loved me without any conditions ? Gideon implored , looking at Calliope with a deep sincerity .

Didnt you say youd marry me even if I had nothing ? Ugh who says such sappy things ? Calliope retorted .

Besides , Im already married to your uncle .

You want a marry your aunt? Maybe you should talk to your uncle about that sounds pretty scandalous to me ! Gideon frowned , looking at Calliope .

He had a feeling something about her had changed , but he couldnt quite put his finger on it .

She was more outspoken now , and it was infuriating .

Yet , for some reason , she seemed even more captivating today .

Calliope elegantly sipped her coffee .

Is there anything else youd like to say ? The foods about to arrive .

How about we eat first and talk later ? The waiter was quick to bring out the dishes , and Calliope didnt hesitate to dig in .

Despite her sharp tongue , her dining manners were impeccable , exuding an innate grace .

While Calliope enjoyed her meal , everyone else was too tense to eat .

The more leisurely she ate , the more anxious and frustrated they became .

Dish after dish began to fill the table .

As they started stacking up , Zelda finally noticed something was off .

Calliope , how much did you order ? The spread was enough to feed three tables .

With just a handful of people , had Calliope lost her mind ? They make great food here , so I ordered everything to try .

Why arent you eating ? Dont like it ? If not , Ill just pack it all to go ! Calliope replied nonchalantly .

Calliope … Zelda was too exasperated to speak .
