Yvette glanced around the room, taking in the décor before her eyes landed on the people around.
Gideon had mentioned it would just be a quiet dinner with his parents and grandfather. But to her surprise, it seemed like the entire Baker family had shown up.
Calliope and Silas were there, which she could handle, but so were many other relatives.
She didn’t know them, but Gideon had told her stories about his family—three uncles and a few cousins, each with quirks. None of them sounded easygoing.
She had been excited, thinking she’d have Gideon’s support. But with so many eyes on her like she was the evening’s entertainment, her confidence wavered.
Standing by Gideon’s side, Yvette felt like a deer caught in headlights.
She dreamed of becoming a wealthy socialite, but her life had been a struggle. Her entire year’s budget wouldn’t match their daily spending.
When facing the well-dressed crowd, her insecurities bubbled to the surface. She wanted to marry into this world but had no clue how to fit in.
Fleur, Gideon’s mother, noticed Yvette inching behind her son, trying to blend in. Her expression was one of pure disdain.
Yvette was not the match she’d envisioned for her son. Fleur had done her homework on this girl. The thought that Yvette had somehow derailed Gideon’s potential engagement to Calliope and the accompanying business stakes boiled her blood.
This was all Yvette’s fault! Who did she think she was, trying to latch onto Gideon? She should take a good look in the mirror.
Fleur’s gaze was sharp and cutting, sending a chill down Yvette’s spine.
Gideon’s father didn’t seem more welcoming, frowning as he regarded her.
Elsewhere, Calliope sat calmly beside Silas, who was strikingly handsome, exuding superiority even in his relaxed state. He was leisurely peeling an orange, offering segments to Calliope one by one.

The readers' comments on the novel: A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging from Dust
Oh wrestling expert ey? So is this Khamzat Chimaev or Shavkat Rakhmonov? Because Khabib's would be too haram....
Oh no. Million is just mix of Conor McGregor, Islam Makhachev, Mike Tyson, Max Holloway, Anderson Silva... I bet he lands 5sec flying knees like Jorge Masvidal too. Oh nope, 1sec knees. And has faster left hooks than Alex Pereira. Definitely would win UFC championship in every weight division including women. Poor Zhang Weili....
Okay so.... Million is now from East. Arctic wolf from East, modified genetically so he can manage his own Instagram and probably also box like Mike Tyson and snapping left hooks like Alex Pereira....
This is starting to be the same twister of abilities as Cassandra Yates and Tiffany. But question is, why the hell Silas can't just open his mouth and tell Caliope that she's the one whom he has in his heart. He would prevent a lot of misunderstanding. Seems like despite capability of talking with modified arctic wolf, she's not like telepathic....
Oh no, so FL is again another hidden genius with both hemispheres working on hundreds... Ffffuuuu. Cassandra Yates and Tiffany were already enough, ughugh. And Tiffany was even more exaggerated than Cassandra....
That's weird, in the first chapters there was said that her bio parents and bros doteď on Caliope but then they adopted Lisette, but this chapter suddenly says otherwise. Did author forget what he wrote?...
I REALLLYYY REALLLYYYY REALLYYYYYY WANT TO SLAP THE 3 BROTHERS WHENEVER THEY OPEN THEIR MOUTH !!! AND THEIR MOM !!!...
Why has this not been updated ?? there were 5 more chapters which was released and it has not been updated.. Please do update on regular basis......
