A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging from Dust novel Chapter 57

Gideon's face was a masterpiece of conflicting emotions. He glanced at Calliope as if he didn't recognize her.

He had assumed she was going to sweet-talk him, maybe even apologize. After all, she loved him so much, didn't she?

Was she still mad?

Did she really just treat him like that?

Gideon's eyes were a swirl of emotions as he looked at Calliope. "Calliope..."

"Mr. Baker, you'd better treat our lady with respect, or I'll have to take action."

Damien stood firm, his expression stony, ready to step in at any moment.

Gideon knew how formidable Damien was. As Silas's bodyguard, Damien rarely intervened, but when he did, nobody could withstand his attack.

Gideon didn't want to get hit by Damien, nor did he want any trouble with Silas. Reluctantly, he got out of the car with a huff.

Once outside, he realized he was on a deserted road, not a taxi in sight. Gideon's expression grew even darker.

Damien shut the car door, got back in, and drove away, leaving Gideon standing there, watching the car's taillights disappear into the night.

Calliope! She's been acting like a lunatic lately. All because he didn't show up at the wedding? Was this really necessary?

He pulled out his phone and called for someone to pick him up.

When Gideon finally dragged himself home, exhausted and fuming, he was greeted by Fleur, who gave him a curious look.

"Gideon, back already? You just left not long ago."

She had barely made it home before her son returned.

Had Calliope agreed to his terms so quickly? It wasn't impossible; she was always a pushover, willing to settle for peanuts.
