A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging from Dust novel Chapter 253

"That's good," Silas said, handing a bag of food to Upton. "This is for Baber. Give it to him when he wakes up tomorrow."

Then, turning to Calliope, he added, "If there's nothing else, you should head home. You need some rest too."

Calliope glanced at Upton. "You sure you're okay on your own?"

"Yeah, I'm good. I'll reach out if anything comes up," Upton assured her. "You've had a long day. Go get some rest."

"Alright." Calliope left with Silas.

Silas handed her a piece of pie in the car and asked gently, "Baber's doing okay, right?"

"Yeah, he should make a full recovery this time," Calliope replied, taking a bite of the pie. "Why'd you come? I told you it was okay if you didn't."

"I missed you," Silas said, looking at her.

"We only parted this morning," Calliope teased, tilting her head to look at him.

"Still missed you," Silas replied, running his thumb gently across her forehead, his eyes filled with warmth. "Callie, promise you'll stay by my side. Don't leave me, okay?"

"As long as you're not pushing me away, I'm not going anywhere!" Calliope declared, lifting her chin defiantly.

The more time she spent with Silas, the more she adored him. He was everything she admired: calm, gentle, and strong. He was always there to help her with any problem.

Her ex, Gideon was arrogant and had a terrible temper. He was never considerate, always trying to manipulate her.
