A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging from Dust novel Chapter 44

Gideon had been in a funk for the past few days, probably without even realizing it himself. The truth was, Calliope had been on his mind a lot.

Maybe it was time she figured out a way to marry him already.

Yvette squinted thoughtfully. If she could only get pregnant with Gideon’s child, then she could secure a marriage.

Yvette’s eyes sparkled with the possibilities.

Calliope and Portia were about to continue their shopping spree when Gideon intercepted them, pulling Calliope aside into a corner.

Gideon shot Portia a glare before turning to Calliope. “What exactly are you up to? You’ve been driving me crazy for days now. Isn’t it time to stop?

“In your dreams! Who’s meant to be with you! Seriously, don’t push your luck, or I’ll have your uncle deal with you!”

Calliope rolled her eyes at Gideon, who struggled to keep his cool, his hands balling into fists. “Calliope, if you keep this up, I’ll never forgive you for the rest of my life! I’m giving you one last chance. Talk to me properly!”

Calliope sighed. “Listen, show some respect, alright? I think you need to eat something to boost your brainpower because it seems a bit obtuse.
