A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging from Dust novel Chapter 962

Portia watched Nigel for a moment, hesitating before voicing her guess. “Mr. Howell, are you… are you going to look after our Callie?”

“You are, aren’t you? You’re going to keep her safe?”

“Mr. Howell, you’re wonderful!”

“I know you’re talented—and you’ve got a whole team of skilled people working for you. I’m putting Callie in your hands. Please, she’s counting on you,” Portia said, her voice brimming with emotion.

Truthfully, she’d been uneasy about Calliope striking out on her own. If Nigel was going with her, Portia could finally breathe easier.

She was well aware of Nigel’s skill—rival or not to Silas Myers, he’d never shown Callie any ill will. In fact, if Portia was reading things right, he might even have a bit of a soft spot for her.

Whatever his motives—whether it was fondness or something else—it could only work in Callie’s favor.

Things in Stormgard were a tangled mess. Too many factions had their claws in, and trouble was always lurking just below the surface. Calliope was heading straight into the lion’s den for Mavis, and while she could handle herself, there was real danger there.

At least with Nigel involved, the odds looked better.

Nigel didn’t say a word. He just nodded.

Portia let out a heavy sigh of relief. “Thank you, Mr. Howell. I’m counting on you!”

Nigel only cast Portia a brief glance, then turned and walked off with Leland.

By the time Damien arrived, they were gone.

Calliope had forgotten to say goodbye in person, so she’d sent Damien a hurried text as she left—short on details, to say the least.

All Damien knew was that she’d gone, but not where or why. He spent frantic minutes searching before he finally spotted Portia.
