A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging from Dust novel Chapter 30

Silas didn't say a word, just raised his hand to press hers.

"Once I give something away, I never take it back."

"Huh?"

"It's yours now."

Silas looked at her, a hint of something like irritation in his eyes.

"But..."

He didn't let her finish, striding ahead with purpose.

Calliope carefully followed behind Silas. "Well, thank you, I guess?"

"You can consider me your husband, just like the agreement says."

Silas came to an abrupt stop, and Calliope, not expecting it, walked right into his broad back. Her body pressed against his, and she could feel the warmth radiating from him, solid and reassuring.

Calliope froze, her heart racing in her chest.

Silas turned around, and since she hadn't moved, she found herself directly in his embrace. His arms were warm and strong.

For a moment, Calliope was dazed, feeling it was strangely familiar, an inexplicable sense of safety creeping over her because of him.

Even though he intimidated her a bit, she couldn't deny the comfort he brought her.

He had always seemed like some sort of unapproachable figure to her, but right now, he seemed like a guardian angel, always there to protect her.

Looking up, she met his eyes.

Silas inadvertently locked eyes with her, and his heart started beating faster.
