A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging From Dust Novel

Chapter 71 Calliope froze for a moment when she saw Silas .

She hadnt expected to see him here , and for a brief second , she felt a pang of guilt .

Is he harassing you ? Silas approached .

No , its nothing , Calliope replied instinctively .

Silas glanced at Gideon , who suddenly realized how ridiculous he looked holding a mop .

He dropped it and steadied himself against the wall , moving toward Calliope .

Just as Gideon was about to get close , Silas swiftly pulled Calliope into his arms .

His eyes were icy as he stared at the apologetic Gideon .

Its too late for regrets .

Shes mine now , he declared with a commanding presence .

When Laird arrived , he saw Silas brimming with a fierce aura while Gideon was still trying to reach Calliope .

Sensing that Silas might act , Calliope was holding onto him .

Silas , sorry , Gideons drunk ! Laird hurriedly supported Gideon , looking up and apologizing to Silas .

Hes just spouting nonsense .

Ill take him away now ! Laird looked visibly uneasy .

Gideon , lets go .

Youve upset your uncle ! Im not going anywhere ! Uncle Silas , why dont you ask her who she really likes , you or me ? Turning his head , with flushed cheeks from the alcohol , Gideon sneered , Calliope , I know youre just using my uncle to get back at me .

Youre still crazy about me , arent you ? After all these years , no matter how I treated you , you kept coming back .

Theres no way you just stopped loving me .

But Calliope , theres a limit to how far you can push this .

If you keep this up , Ill really get mad ! And if I get mad , I wont want you anymore ! Calliope , you should know when to stop ! While Im still patient , come back to me , and Ill treat you right ! Stop this nonsense , Gideon ! Laird forcefully pulled Gideon away .

Calliope watched Gideon leave , feeling amused .

It seemed Gideon finally felt threatened , perhaps because of the family shares .

He used to be indifferent no matter how hard she tried , but now , in his drunken state , he wanted her back .

As Calliope was lost in thought watching Gideon , she didnt notice Silas gazing at her intently .

His deep eyes held a trace of displeasure .

Was she still thinking about him ? Gideon wasnt wrong ; she had loved him for so many years .

How could she just turn around and fall for him ? Maybe she still had feelings for Gideon and just had been acting up .

But he didnt care .

She was his now , and he wouldnt let her go back .

Have you seen enough ? Silass cold voice , tinged with jealousy , came from above .

Startled , Calliope hurriedly stepped away from Silass embrace .

Whenever she looked at Silas , she couldnt help but be cautious .

Her wariness felt like a needle pricking Silass heart .

She was still distant with him , even after they had been so intimately close .

Just as Gideon said , maybe she was still hung up on him .

Are you here with friends ? Silas asked .

Yeah , with a few friends , Calliope nodded .

1/2 Chapter Arent you going to introduce me ? Do you want to meet them ? Calliope hesitated , but seeing Silass eager expression , she reluctantly led him to their booth .

Portia and the others were having a blast , but looked up in surprise when they saw Silas standing next to Calliope .
