A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging from Dust novel Chapter 76

Archie didn’t pay any more attention to him; he simply turned around and walked away.

Later, Gideon was picked up by Yvette. He was completely wasted, and as Yvette took him home, he kept mumbling Calliope's name under his breath.

“Callie, you wouldn’t fall for my uncle, right?”

“Callie, I’m the only one you care about, right?”

“Callie, are you mad at me?”

In the room, Gideon gazed at Yvette with a dreamy look in his eyes, mistaking her for someone else.

“Callie, you love me too, don’t you? You’re only with my uncle to get back at me, right?”

He leaned closer and kissed Yvette, who didn’t resist much, half-heartedly pushing him away...

The next morning, when Gideon woke up with a pounding headache, he nearly jumped out of bed upon seeing Yvette lying next to him.

“Why... why are you here?”

“Gideon, last night you...” Yvette looked down, biting her lip, a teary look on her face.

Gideon furrowed his brows. “I’m sorry, I must have been really drunk last night!”

He jumped out of bed, and upon closer inspection, realized he wasn’t at his own place, but at Yvette’s. His head throbbed as he vaguely recalled Yvette picking him up and ending up at her place.

“It’s okay,” Yvette hid her clenched fists, looking up with a forced smile. “It was just an accident, don’t worry about it.”

She then got up.

Gideon watched Yvette as she went to get freshened up and prepare his clothes, looking as if nothing had happened.
