A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging from Dust novel Chapter 493

"You know, walking a tightrope is risky enough, but you just had to choose the one that leads to the point of no return," Calliope said, her voice laced with a mix of exasperation and amusement as she glanced at Gideon.

"Sometimes, Gideon, I really do admire you. You're a bit of a madman, you know that?"

Calliope looked at him with a detached air. Once upon a time, she might have felt a pang of heartache, a twinge of sadness for him. But now, she felt nothing. Once, she thought she wouldn’t be ruthless to someone she once liked, but his actions left her with no choice. He had brought this upon himself.

"Big shot, do you think that's enough? If not, I can break another leg. Make sure he can't stand for a while! If he dares to bother you again, I'll make sure he's in a wheelchair for life!"

Calliope shook her head. "That's enough. Someone else will deal with him."

She casually cracked open a few sunflower seeds and glanced at Gabriel. "Sit down. Why are you standing there like a statue?"

"I’m good," Gabriel chuckled, albeit nervously. The truth was, he was terrified of Calliope. He had seen her in action, pulling him out of a tight spot without a second thought. During a hail of bullets, she hadn’t even blinked. Plus, she carried a mysterious air about her, backed by a reputation that was not to be trifled with.

And now, she was married to Silas, another formidable figure he had no interest in crossing. If he’d known it was her he was dealing with, he would never have gotten involved in the first place. The mother and son duo would’ve gotten a good thrashing instead.

But what’s done was done, and now he was left to grovel for forgiveness.

Calliope patted the seat next to her, prompting Gabriel to sit.
