Fleur stood there, her gaze icy as she stared at Gideon, her anger reaching a boiling point. Then her eyes flicked over to Calliope, who remained as composed as ever, lounging casually in her seat.
With a shrug, Calliope rose to her feet.
"I'm going to chat with Eamon," she announced before heading out to the backyard, leaving the grand hall to Fleur and her two companions.
When Calliope was out of sight, Fleur stormed over to Gideon and slapped him across the face.
"Gideon, what foolery are you up to?" she demanded. "You're my son, but I'm extremely disappointed in you!"
"What did you just say? That you're having second thoughts? That you want to be with her? She's with Silas, for heaven's sake! Are you really going to compete with him over a woman?"
"You were the one who wanted this marriage, and now you're the one saying you don't? How old are you? Is this some kind of game to you?"
Gideon's plans to marry Yvette had been an embarrassment for Fleur. Now, with Gideon talking about calling it off, and even dragging Calliope into the decision-making, Fleur was beside herself with frustration.
"Do you realize how infuriating this is?" she continued. "Now you're having regrets? What were you even thinking back then? If you hadn't run off over this woman, Calliope would probably be your wife by now. Heck, you might even have a kid already! She may not be perfect, but she's miles better than this country bumpkin!"
Fleur spared no kindness for Yvette, her disdain painfully clear as she spat out terms like "country bumpkin." The thought of Yvette's unhelpful, burdensome family only fueled her contempt. Fleur's vision for Yvette was clear: once she married into the Baker family, she must sever all ties with her past.

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......
