A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging from Dust novel Chapter 722

Gavin was deep in conversation with Willow about Archie’s upcoming marriage.

Chester, half-distracted by his video game, looked up and chimed in, “Dad, you’re totally right. Just go with your plan. Tie him down if you have to. What’s he gonna do, run away? The Yaltons don’t even care if Archie’s on board. That Yalton girl… not the brightest bulb in the box, and she’s got some mental issues, honestly. The fact anyone would marry her has the Yaltons over the moon!”

Willow frowned. “Isn’t that a bit harsh for Archie? He’ll fight back if he’s forced.”

Chester shrugged. “Let the Yaltons deal with their own mess. Our job’s just to hand Archie over, that’s all. Once we get what we want, Archie’s their problem. If they want him to have kids, keep him locked up, whatever, that’s up to them. We’re basically selling him off.”

He glanced at his father. “Right, Dad?”

Gavin nodded, “You’ve got it. That’s what we’ll do, then.”

“Do what? Seriously?”

A furious voice cut through the room as Calliope practically kicked in the door.

“Archie doesn’t want to get married, and you’re just going to sell your own son off like he’s cattle?”

She stormed over to the dining table, her eyes sweeping across the spread. The table was piled high with food—roast turkey, glazed ham, mashed potatoes, pecan pie—all the classic holiday dishes. Three plates were neatly set for Gavin, Willow, and Chester. But there was no plate for Archie.

Seeing that, Calliope nearly exploded.

“This is your Christmas dinner? And there’s not even a place set for Archie? You don’t treat him like family, but you think you can sell him off?”

With that, she swept her arm across the table, sending dishes crashing to the floor, gravy and stuffing splattering everywhere.
