A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging from Dust novel Chapter 381

In the backyard, Calliope soon found Eamon basking in the afternoon sun. He lounged leisurely, watching the koi fish glide gracefully in his pond.

Hearing the gentle rustle of footsteps, he turned his head and found Calliope trying to sneak up on him for a playful scare.

Realizing she got caught, Calliope puffed out her cheeks in mock frustration. "You're sharper than a hawk, Eamon! I was so careful, and you still caught me!"

"Well, you know, this old man still has a few tricks up his sleeve. Fit as a fiddle!" Eamon chuckled, his eyes twinkling with humor. "Come on over and keep me company with a game of chess!"

Calliope quickly sat across from Eamon. "What are you doing hiding out in the backyard today? Feeling shy, avoiding everyone?"

"Shy? At my age, I've got a skin as thick as a castle wall!" Eamon laughed, shaking his head.

"Then why are you out here?" Calliope asked, curious.

"Just enjoying the fish. It's peaceful. Inside, it’s either too quiet or too loud, depending on the crowd." Eamon sighed contentedly.

Calliope nodded in agreement. "You're right about that. When it's you and a few staff, it's too quiet. But when everyone's around, it's like a circus."

Sizing up Eamon with a playful grin, Calliope suggested, "How about I find you a new playmate? I'm sure you'd love it!"

Eamon's eyes lit up with hope, darting to Calliope's belly. "Is there some news?"
