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.

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......
