A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging from Dust novel Chapter 378

Calliope was speechless. She finally glanced up at Gideon. "Hey, cut it out. Don't be so sneaky about this. Whether you want to get married or not is your business. Don't try to pin this on me. I'm not taking the blame!"

Gideon felt a jolt of excitement seeing her finally looking at him. He stood up and walked toward Calliope.

"Callie, seriously, I would do anything for you. Just say the word! I can call off the wedding with Yvette!"

"Just say the word! I really messed up. You're the one I want to marry, the one I want by my side!"

His eyes were filled with longing as he closed the distance between them.

Calliope's lips twitched slightly, and as he got uncomfortably close, she suddenly raised her phone.

From the speaker, a cold, steely voice cut through the air.

"Regret it? You want to marry my wife? You think if she tells you not to get married, you won't?"

Silas's icy face appeared on the phone screen, causing Gideon to stumble backward and fall to the floor. He stared in disbelief at Silas on the screen.

"Uncle Silas... uh..." He swallowed hard, his Adam's apple bobbing.

Calliope waved the phone slightly. "Silas just called to check in. You pulled this stunt right on cue, and I'm not going to cover for you!"

Gideon's eyes darted nervously back to Silas. Sitting on the floor, he seemed to gather a monumental amount of courage.

"Uncle Silas, you married Callie for the Baker family's reputation, right? You never really loved her, did you? She was my girl first. How could you possibly have feelings for your nephew's girl? I finally understand my heart. Just give Callie back to me!"

Gideon stared intently at Silas on the screen, his gaze unwavering.
