A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging From Dust Novel

Chapter 57 Gideons face was a masterpiece of conflicting emotions .

He glanced at Calliope as if he didnt recognize her .

He had assumed she was going to sweet talk him , maybe even apologize .

After all , she loved him so much , didnt she ? Was she still mad ? Did she really just treat him like that ? Gideons eyes were a swirl of emotions as he looked at Calliope .

Calliope … Mr.

Baker , youd better treat our lady with respect , or Ill have to take action .

Damien stood firm , his expression stony , ready to step in at any moment .

Gideon knew how formidable Damien was .

As Silass bodyguard , Damien rarely intervened , but when he did , nobody could withstand his attack .

Gideon didnt want to get hit by Damien , nor did he want any trouble with Silas .

Reluctantly , he got out of the car with a huff .

Once outside , he realized he was on a deserted road , not a taxi in sight .

Gideons expression grew even darker .

Damien shut the car door , got back in , and drove away , leaving Gideon standing there , watching the cars taillights disappear into the night .

Calliope ! Shes been acting like a lunatic lately .

All because he didnt show up at the wedding ? Was this really necessary ? He pulled out his phone and called for someone to pick him up .

When Gideon finally dragged himself home , exhausted and fuming , he was greeted by Fleur , who gave him a curious look .

Gideon , back already ? You just left not long ago .

She had barely made it home before her son returned .

Had Calliope agreed to his terms so quickly ? It wasnt impossible ; she was always a pushover , willing to settle for peanuts .

Gideon didnt respond , his face set in a grim mask as he changed his shoes and headed inside .

Fleur soon noticed his foul mood .

Whats wrong ? Didnt reach an agreement with her ? Shes already taken the money.

Surely , she cant still refuse to marry you , right ? Fleur frowned .

Is Calliope really that shameless ? Im tired .

Im going upstairs to rest , Gideon muttered , before trudging up to his room upstairs , still seething .

Meanwhile , Zelda and the rest had returned home too .

Having barely had anything , the three asked the housekeeper to whip up a meal .

At the table , Zelda couldnt shake a nagging feeling .

Honey , do you think she reached an agreement with Gideon ? Weve taken Fleurs perks , and if they didnt settle things , Fleur might want them back .

Lisette , too , was perplexed .

When had Calliope gotten so shrewd ? Both families had tried to appease her, yet she remained steadfast .

In the past , not even Gideons affairs and mistreatment could drive her away .

She was hopelessly devoted to him , a textbook case of blind love .

1/2 09:41 Chapter Could someone like that really change overnight ? She loves Gideon so much , and shes taken the money and the dinner .

Surely , shell come around and be good with Gideon , Monty chimed in .

Though , I must say , that dinner was quite a hit to the wallet … thats a lot ! Zelda shot Monty a look .

I just feel like shes not quite the same .

Shes always had that temper , Monty shrugged .

Alright , lets just eat .

Calliope returned to the Myers Manor , feeling pretty good .

Damien had invited the guys over for a feast , and she mingled with them , chatting away for a while .
