A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging from Dust novel Chapter 50

As soon as Calliope saw them, she knew what they were up to. This bunch was here to play peacemakers, hoping to patch things up between her and Gideon.

They were still clinging to the naive belief that she was just throwing a little tantrum and that sweet talk would smooth things over.

"You're a girl!" Zelda fumed. "Can't you say something nice for once? Calliope, you should take a leaf out of Lisette's book and try to be a bit more ladylike. Honestly, I'm struggling to claim you as ours!"

Monty felt a headache coming on as he stared at Calliope. But Calliope remained unruffled, clearly indifferent to their opinions.

Fleur eyed Calliope with disdain, though her disdain didn't extend to the shares in the Baker family company. As long as Calliope and Gideon stayed together, those shares would be Gideon's.

For Gideon to secure his place in the Baker family, those shares were crucial. Fleur was willing to put up with her distaste and negotiate with Calliope’s parents, offering certain incentives to broker a meeting with Calliope—all to secure those shares.

If they couldn't handle Calliope, surely her own parents could.

"Callie, sweetie, we asked you here because we have something important to discuss," Fleur began. "I know you're upset that Gideon left on the day of the wedding, but he was just being his noble self. He was worried about Yvette; he didn't mean to leave you hanging!

You've always been so capable. Even without Gideon, you manage splendidly, don't you?

So, don’t be mad at Gideon, Callie. He promises to make it up to you! Son, show her the gift, didn’t you get one to apologize?"
