A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging from Dust novel Chapter 151

Calliope stayed silent while Silas fixed his gaze on Gideon for what felt like an eternity.

"Just a 'Happy Birthday' without a gift, huh?"

"That's a bit rude. Don't you think so?"

Gideon was stunned. He had shown up drunk and impulsive, unsettled by Silas celebrating Calliope’s birthday. The thought of bringing a gift hadn’t even crossed his mind. Seeing her, he felt a heavy weight in his chest. She seemed happier, more alive, without him.

"Sorry, I forgot to bring a gift," Gideon said, frowning.

"That's okay. You don’t need to give gifts immediately. If I remember correctly, you've got a place in Misty Haven. If you gave that to Calliope, she'd be quite pleased." Silas raised an eyebrow at Gideon.

Gideon hesitated, caught off guard.

"What’s wrong, having second thoughts?"

"No, it's not that..." Gideon dared not defy Silas. He knew he had to comply if Silas wanted him to gift the house.

“Well, if you wouldn’t mind, Calliope, the house in Misty Haven is yours. I'll have the paperwork sorted out and transferred to you soon."

Calliope smiled slightly. "I don't mind at all."

The Misty Haven house was one she had asked Gideon to buy years ago. She cherished it because she and her grandfather had once rented it together. Though she hadn't lived there in a while, it remained under Gideon's name.

Gideon had once promised to give it to her but never followed through. He nearly let Yvette move in, which had sparked a big argument between them.
