A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging from Dust novel Chapter 56

"Damien, I packed all this food, most of it untouched. Take it back to your buddies, will you? This place has some pretty good grub!"

"Thanks, ma'am!" Damien replied, looking genuinely grateful.

Damien and Gideon then started loading the bags into the car.

Gideon had figured Calliope might want to take a stroll and chat for a bit. But to his surprise, Calliope hopped right into the car.

Gideon looked at her, perplexed. "Weren't you going to talk with me?"

"Hop in, we'll chat in the car," Calliope said, nodding towards the passenger seat.

"Uh?" Gideon glanced over at Damien, a bit hesitant.

He knew Damien was his uncle's right-hand man. It felt a bit inappropriate to discuss personal matters with Calliope in the car; even though his uncle and Calliope might just be putting on an act, he still felt uncomfortable.

"Mr. Baker, you getting in?"

Damien asked after a moment of waiting. "There's a car waiting behind us."

Realizing they were holding up traffic, Gideon quickly got into the car.

Inside, Calliope was engrossed in a game on her phone, showing no intention of starting the conversation.

Gideon's expression darkened. "Callie, you said you wanted to talk. Why aren’t you saying anything? What are we going to do about us?"

Calliope remained silent, her fingers dancing swiftly as the sound of the game filled in the air.
