A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging from Dust

Chapter 278



It was clear as day that the alligators were utterly intimidated, terrified of Calliope.

"Forget the alligators. I'm scared, too!" someone exclaimed.

"Oh my God, does she have the strength of ten men or what?"

"Hey, don't underestimate a pretty woman. She might wrestle an alligator barehanded!"

"Wow, that's over the top, but I love her for it. She's like a superhero!"

"Calliope didn't even lose her jacket, and it's already over?"

"Time's up, Yara. You can let her out now!"

"Those alligators probably won't come out for a while. They've been scared out for sure."

The crowd around them felt torn between laughter and disbelief. But they couldn't help but start applauding for Calliope. Her performance had been nothing short of spectacular.

Yara opened the gate, and Calliope walked up, as composed as ever, her beautiful face a picture of nonchalance.

In the livestream, her fans were equally stunned.

Gideon frowned deeply. Was this the same Calliope he knew? He remembered her as someone who couldn't even hurt a fly. Had she really just taken on an alligator?

Gideon felt a chill down his spine at the thought. He recalled the times he had gotten on her nerves. If she could toss an alligator, she could probably send him flying too. The mental picture made him shudder.

Still, thinking about Calliope's

fearless dive into the alligator pit left him in a funk. She must have known Silas wouldn't get harmed, yet she still did it. Would she do the same for him? He couldn't help but wonder.

"Gideon, are you still working?" Yvette's voice interrupted his thoughts as she

sauntered over in a silky robe, leaning in close.

Only then did she notice that Gideon

wasn't working at all. He was

watching Calliope. She'd seen the

notifications too, Calliope was trending. Yvette had assumed

Gideon was oblivious, but clearly, he

knew. He was even engrossed in it.

A wave of irritation surged through her, and she tried to snatch the phone from him. "What are you doing?"

Gideon raised his hand, casting a cold glance at Yvette. Thinking of Calliope, he suddenly found Yvette entirely unappealing.

If he were ever in trouble, Yvette wouldn't be much help. She'd only cry. Even if Yvette wanted to risk everything to save him, Yvette couldn't match Calliope's prowess. Plus, she came with a bunch of annoying relatives.

Gideon felt a deep, sinking sense of regret as he pushed Yvette away, his patience wearing thin.

"Gideon—" Yvette's eyes welled up, her voice trembling on the edge of tears. "You, you regret it, don't you? You've fallen for Calliope again, haven't you? You wish you had married her instead, right?"

Gideon looked at Yvette, his expression full of disdain. He had let Calliope go for such a woman?

"Gideon, did you know?" Yvette's voice broke the silence, desperation in her eyes. "I'm pregnant with your child."

"We're having a baby! You always wanted to outshine Silas, didn't you? I have a child, and they don't. Aren't you happy?"noveldrama

Yvette looked at him with hope in her eyes. She knew Gideon had never truly loved her. His heart always belonged to Calliope. But maybe, just maybe, a child could keep him by her side.
