A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging From Dust Novel

Chapter 53 Calliope was really enjoying herself , savoring each bite with a grin that only seemed to grow wider .

The rest of the group sat there , their appetites vanishing entirely as they watched her .

Once she was finished , Calliope dabbed her mouth with a napkin in a manner that was almost regal .

She glanced up .

Wow , you guys arent eating at all ? Whats the matter ? Didnt I order well ? Or are you just not hungry ? If youre not hungry , I guess Ill just have to take it all with me ! Cant let all this go to waste , right ? These dishes didnt come cheap ! Hey , waiter , could you pack all this up for me ? Calliope asked .

The waiter looked at Zelda and the others , but no one objected .

So , he went ahead and brought out the boxes .

There was a mountain of food , and Calliope had only tasted a little .

Some of the dishes hadnt been touched at all .

In no time , the table was cleared , every dish neatly boxed up .

Head bowed , Calliope was now absorbed in her phone , while Zelda and her companions were nearly boiling with frustration .

Zelda couldnt believe Calliope had the nerve to pack everything up when they hadnt even had a bite .

Monty was visibly upset as well .

Lisette , on the other hand , was staring at Calliope with a mixture of confusion .

She remembered when Calliope wasnt like this at all always trying to please Monty and the rest of them .

But ever since the wedding , it was like she had transformed into someone completely different .

Monty and the others didnt pay much attention to Calliope , so they hadnt noticed the change .

But Lisette had been keeping a close eye on her , mainly because she wanted to outshine Calliope , undermine her , and compete for Montys favor .

Knowing Calliopes personality was part of her strategy .

Yet now , Calliope was no longer easy to control .

Was it because of Silas ? Had he given her some sort of confidence ? Did she have something on Silas , or what ? So she think she could thrive without the Jewell family ? Lisette was filled with suspicion , trying to figure out what had prompted Calliopes change .

Regardless , the smarter Calliope became , the bigger threat she posed .

And Lisette had always been quite interested in Silas she couldnt let Calliope win him over .

The Jewell family was just a stepping stone for her ; her ambitions were much grander .

Meanwhile , Fleurs face was a mask of exasperation , but for the sake of the shares , she held her tongue .

Callie , now that youre full , feeling a bit better ? Can we talk about business? Chapter 53 Calliope was really enjoying herself , savoring each bite with a grin that only seemed to grow wider .

Will you accept it ? She attempted a soothing tone impatiently and tenderly shed never used with Calliope before .

You know , you really love Gideon , and he likes you too .

That Yvette wont amount to much .

I never liked her , and I certainly wouldnt want her as my daughter in law .

Calliope lifted her bright eyes , a soft laugh escaping her lips .

Funny , thats not what you said before .

Didnt you say you didnt like me either ? You mentioned that Gideon , of all people , wouldnt choose me .

You told me not to get my hopes up .

At that moment , Fleur wished she could slap herself .

If only shed known Eamon would agree to give Calliope the shares , she might have encouraged Calliope to marry into the family sooner .
