A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging from Dust novel Chapter 14

Gideon answered the phone and stepped out.

In the private booth, as soon as Gideon sat down, his friends gave him these pitying looks.

"Gideon, man, we know this must be tough for you. But what can you do? I mean, he's your uncle, right? You just have to roll with it."

"Exactly, Gideon. Mr. Myers isn't someone we can mess with. We're all pissed on your behalf, but what can we do?"

"Yeah, man. Chin up!"

"Here, have a drink!"

"Besides, you weren't that into Calliope anyway, right? Now you can go after Yvette instead..."

"Sure, Yvette might not have Calliope's looks or whatever, but she's your true love!"

One after another, his friends kept throwing out words of comfort.

Gideon, who had only wanted to grab a bite to eat, paused, fork in hand. He stared at them, bewildered.

"What on earth are you guys talking about? I’m married to Calliope..."

"Dude, are you out of it?" Laird reached over, feeling Gideon's forehead. "How could you be married to Calliope... when she just married Silas? My brother saw Silas's Twitter post!"

"Can't believe Calliope kept it under wraps— total shocker!"

"Right? One minute she’s all about you, then boom, she’s with Silas at the altar! That's some next-level stuff!"

"I'm telling you, Calliope was just using you to get close to Silas. She's played you, man."

The group started buzzing with chatter.
