A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging from Dust novel Chapter 87

Calliope was on the verge of just walking away.

She couldn't wrap her head around it. She used to adore Gideon, did so much for him, yet he was always so elusive, like a shadow she could never catch. She rarely knew where he was.

He never even bothered to show up at her fondue restaurant. He’d made up his mind that her working there was beneath him, like she was some kind of embarrassment.

But now? He kept popping up in front of her like an unwanted ghost. Hadn't she made it clear enough to him?

Gideon noticed Calliope, and he also noticed her stiff gait, which reminded him of something Silas had said.

Silas claimed they'd been intimate. He even bragged about how harmonious their life was and how they were planning for a baby!

Calliope, shameless as ever. She hadn't even officially broken up with him before marrying his uncle and crawling into his bed!

The thought made Gideon’s blood boil, especially after the morning he'd had.

"Did you really sleep with Uncle Silas?" Gideon demanded, watching as Calliope seemed to ignore him, heading in the opposite direction. His anger spiked to the limit.

He abruptly stood up and grabbed Calliope's wrist, yanking her violently into the backyard with him.

Rafferty stepped out just in time to witness this. The restaurant was bustling, and he made sure the customers were looked after before following them into the backyard.

"What do you think you're doing?" Rafferty’s voice was cold, ready for a confrontation.

Gideon glanced back at Rafferty, surprised at how handsome this chef was. After a dismissive glance, he said, "This doesn't concern you."

"Let Callie go," Rafferty said firmly.
