A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging From Dust Novel

14-56 Chapter 76 Archie didnt pay any more attention to him ; he simply turned around and walked away .

Later , Gideon was picked up by Yvette .

He was completely wasted , and as Yvette took him home , he kept mumbling Calliopes name under his breath .

Callie , you wouldnt fall for my uncle , right ? Callie , Im the only one you care about , right ? Callie , are you mad at me ? In the room , Gideon gazed at Yvette with a dreamy look in his eyes , mistaking her for someone else .

Callie , you love me too , dont you ? Youre only with my uncle to get back at me , right ? He leaned closer and kissed Yvette , who didnt resist much , half heartedly pushing him away ….

The next morning , when Gideon woke up with a pounding headache , he nearly jumped out of bed upon seeing Yvette lying next to him .

Why … why are you here ? Gideon , last night you … Yvetté looked down , biting her lip , a teary look on her face .

Gideon furrowed his brows .

Im sorry , I must have been really drunk last night ! He jumped out of bed , and upon closer inspection , realized he wasnt at his own place , but at Yvettes .

His head throbbed as he vaguely recalled Yvette picking him up and ending up at her place .

Its okay , Yvette hid her clenched fists , looking up with a forced smile .

It was just an accident , dont worry about it .

She then got up .

Gideon watched Yvette as she went to get freshened up and prepare his clothes , looking as if nothing had happened .

Get up too .

Ill go make some breakfast .

Her reaction left Gideon feeling a fleeting sense of guilt .

But that guilt quickly vanished .

After getting up , he shared a breakfast with Yvette .

Yvette didnt say much , acting normally , which allowed him to breathe a sigh of relief .

He decided to transfer some money to Yvette .

Yvette , Im sorry , last night was my fault .

This is to make it up to you .

Its really fine , Gideon .

I chose to be there ; its not your fault .

You dont need to feel guilty , and Im not looking for anything more .

Yvette smiled at Gideon .

You know me .

Im not the kind of person who does things for money, and I definitely dont want to make you uncomfortable because of this .

In the end , Yvette didnt take the money .

She went into the office and busied herself , acting as usual .

Gideon , however , felt increasingly uneasy .

If Yvette had just taken the money , he wouldnt feel so guilty .

But the more she acted like it was no big deal , the worse he felt .

To make matters worse , he couldnt stop thinking about Callie .

All night , hed dreamed of her- her laughter, the delicious food shed make , her joyful expressions , and even her sad , disappointed looks .

1/2 14.56 ? Chapter After sitting in his office for a while , Gideon suddenly stood up .

He decided it was time to have a talk with his uncle .

He was determined to marry Calliope , and he needed to clear things up with his uncle .

He didnt believe that there was any real emotional connection between them .

Besides , his uncle was his elder , even if there wasnt much of an age difference .

Gideon had always respected him , and he believed that if he made a request , his uncle wouldnt ignore it .

There was no point in ruining their relationship over a woman .
