A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging from Dust novel Chapter 874

"Just a nobody. An insignificant passerby."

"No matter what you do now, no matter what your future holds, it won't make a bit of difference to me."

"Maybe I'll know about it, but I won't care. Maybe I won't, and I don't want to."

Calliope looked at Gideon with cold indifference. "You never knew how to appreciate what's right in front of you. We ended a long time ago. Shouldn’t you be cherishing the woman next to you now?"

"What’s wrong? Now that you’ve got what you wanted, you’re already sick of it?"

Gideon opened his mouth, but not a single word came out.

His face was twisted with frustration and shame.

Storm, their golden retriever, gave a little jump and then flopped down beside Calliope, fixing Gideon with a look so full of mockery that even he could feel it.

Gideon felt like even the dog was judging him.

At the doorway, Yvette had been listening for a while, her expression dark and stormy.

She knew Gideon didn’t care for her anymore. Honestly, she didn’t care much for him either. And seeing him now, so pathetic and spineless, just made her feel sick.

But she hadn’t expected that, even now, Gideon would still try to win Calliope back.

Calliope’s words stung her, hitting far too close to home.

She was pregnant, after all, and her own man was out here begging someone else for comfort.

"Calliope, do you really have to throw yourself at someone else’s man?" Yvette snapped, her temper even worse than usual thanks to her pregnancy. "Have you no shame?"

Calliope just stared at her, unable to hold back a laugh. "You two really are a match made in heaven. Do I look like someone who digs through the trash for scraps?"

He never took responsibility. He always ran.

But when Calliope was in trouble, Silas didn’t hesitate for a second. He didn’t need a reason, he just protected her.

Yvette watched them, her jealousy so fierce it almost hurt.

She wanted someone to stand up for her like that. She wanted Gideon to defend her, to care even a little.

He was nothing like the man he used to be.

He had become someone she could no longer hope for, someone she’d given up on.

If it wasn’t for the hope that Eamon would take an interest in their baby, she’d have divorced him ages ago.
