A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging from Dust novel Chapter 90

"Gideon, if that woman could make you ditch your wedding on the very night, I'd say you're pretty smitten with her. Why don't you bring her home sometime? If you settle down, the gossip will die down too."

"Grandpa..." Gideon found himself in a tight spot, feeling the heat rise in his cheeks.

"What? Didn't you run off to find that woman yourself?" Eamon's stern face held a certain authority. "Since you did, don't let that young lady down!"

"I understand."

Knowing he had disappointed his grandpa, Gideon didn't dare argue further. His eyes, however, were fixed intently on Calliope.

He grew angrier by the minute. With the whole family gathered, including Silas, he couldn't act out.

He watched Calliope and Silas sitting so close, their bodies nearly touching. His gaze burned with a mix of anger and something else—resentment, perhaps.

He hadn't even touched her, yet she was now his uncle's.

Remembering her words only made his chest tighten further. Did Silas make her that happy? How shameless!

"Maybe you should be careful about sitting so close in front of the younger ones. Don’t you think it’s inappropriate?" Gideon said, his gaze focused on Calliope and Silas.

Calliope blinked, surprised by his sudden comment. She gave him a mischievous glance. "Jealous, are you? If you are, bring your girlfriend home!"

"Silas and I are close, but we're not doing anything inappropriate. We're happily married, and I might as well sit on his lap!" she declared boldly, plopping herself right onto Silas's lap.
