A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging from Dust novel Chapter 927

“I can’t explain it,” Jett said quietly. “There’s just something about her… Whenever I look at her, it feels like I owe her a debt. Like I’ve done her some wrong I can’t even name. Especially when she looks at me with that guarded, almost hostile expression—it makes me uneasy.”

He kept his eyes on Calliope, a restless knot tightening in his chest. He didn’t like how she looked at him. At his age, he’d learned to take most things in stride, but this girl somehow unsettled him, stirring emotions he couldn’t control.

Mrs. White was also watching Calliope, a thoughtful look shadowing her features. “Maybe it’s because she looks a bit like me. I can’t help feeling drawn to her, almost like I want to be close.”

A small, wry smile touched her lips. “But if I did, Blythe would get jealous.” Not wanting to upset Blythe, she kept her impulse in check.

“You feel it too?” Jett asked, shooting her a puzzled glance before returning his gaze to Calliope. “I have this urge to talk to her, to get to know her. But we’re basically strangers. Still, it feels like I’ve known her for years. It’s the oddest thing.”

Calliope had no idea the Whites were talking about her. Every so often, she’d catch them looking her way, and she couldn’t help but frown, a flicker of annoyance crossing her face.

Her friends at the table noticed too.

“Anyone else feel like Mr. and Mrs. White keep watching us?” someone whispered, glancing nervously over their shoulder.

“Now that you mention it, I’ve noticed. What do you think they want? Did we do something wrong?”

“No idea. It’s kind of making me anxious.”

“They’re not watching all of us. Looks to me like they’re fixated on Callie.”

“You don’t think this is about that whole casino thing, do you? Maybe they’re looking to settle the score with Callie?”

“Come on, they’re not like that. Jett isn’t the type.”

“Exactly. Mr. White would never.”
