A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging from Dust novel Chapter 380

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.
