A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging From Dust Novel

Chapter 56 Damien , I packed all this food , most of it untouched .

Take it back to your buddies , will you ? This place has some pretty good grub ! Thanks , maam ! Damien replied , looking genuinely grateful .

Damien and Gideon then started loading the bags into the car .

Gideon had figured Calliope might want to take a stroll and chat for a bit .

But to his surprise , Calliope hopped right into the car .

Gideon looked at her , perplexed .

Werent you going to talk with me ? Hop in , well chat in the car , Calliope said , nodding towards the passenger seat .

Uh ? Gideon glanced over at Damien , a bit hesitant .

He knew Damien was his uncles right hand man .

It felt a bit inappropriate to discuss personal matters with Calliope in the car ; even though his uncle and Calliope might just be putting on an act , he still felt uncomfortable .

Mr.

Baker , you getting in ? Damien asked after a moment of waiting .

Theres a car waiting behind us .

Realizing they were holding up traffic , Gideon quickly got into the car .

Inside , Calliope was engrossed in a game on her phone , showing no intention of starting the conversation .

Gideons expression darkened .

Callie , you said you wanted to talk .

Why arent you saying anything ? What are we going to do about us ? Calliope remained silent , her fingers dancing swiftly as the sound of the game filled in the air .

Gideon was growing more frustrated by the second .

After a few more attempts to get her attention , Calliope finally looked up .

I won ! What were you saying ? Gideon was speechless .

Oh , you mentioned us ? What about us ? You mean the marriage thing ? I dont mind , but you should talk to Silas .

I have no idea if hell let me go .

Were already legally married , so Id have to get a divorce before anything else .

Maybe you could convince Silas to divorce me ? Calliope gazed at Gideon with earnestness .

Gideon was incredulous , feeling a surge of anger .

He stared at Calliope in utter disbelief .

You took my money , and now this ? I took the money , sure , but not to marry you .

It was for all the mental damage .

I made that perfectly clear , and I even recorded it if you need a reminder , Calliope said , maintaining her composure .

A persons got to be honest .

Youre not going back on your word , are you ? Or is the money that important to you ? Are you really that broke ? Calliope !!! Gideon roared , his eyes flashing with anger .

He felt utterly betrayed , played like a fool .

He had hoped she was going to apologize , but nothing of the sort happened .

Nothing is more infuriating than having hope only to see it dashed .

Gideon was seething with rage now .

Damien , he looks so terrifying ! Hes yelling at me .

Can we let him out of the car ? Calliope whimpered , shrinking into the corner , feigning tears .

1/2 00-11 Damien immediately hit the brakes and pulled over , swiftly getting out to open the door .

Mr.

Baker , you need to show some respect to our lady , your aunt in law ! ՈՉ
