A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging from Dust novel Chapter 502

As soon as they walked through the front door, Silas barely looked at her.

Calliope knew something was off. She gazed at Silas with big, apologetic eyes.

“Honey, what’s wrong?”

“Are you mad at me?”

“Don’t be upset, okay? I’m totally fine, see?”

She slipped her arm through his and flashed him her sweetest, most hopeful smile, trying her best to cheer him up.

Calliope had a pretty good idea what was going on. Silas must’ve thought she’d gotten herself into some kind of trouble, and of course, he’d been worried sick.

After everything went down with those guys earlier, she hadn’t texted him to let him know she was safe—or even gone back to look for him. No wonder he was upset.

“I’m sorry, babe. I promise I won’t do that again! Please don’t be mad, okay?”

She spoke in that soft, sweet voice of hers, practically melting against him—and Silas could never hold out for long when she was like this.

“You should’ve called me the second you realized something was wrong. And you shouldn’t have gone off with them alone,” he said, his voice low but worried. “I know you can handle yourself, but still—anything can happen, Callie. Next time, wait for me so we can deal with it together, alright? I don’t want you going solo.”

His deep blue eyes locked onto hers, desperate and intense. He couldn’t stand the thought of anything happening to her.

“I get it,” Calliope replied, still looking a little sheepish. “I’m really sorry, I swear I didn’t do it on purpose. I just wanted to find out who was behind it all.”

“How about this, next time, no matter what, I’ll have you with me. You’ll be the first person I think of if anything happens! My husband’s the best. I know you’ll have my back, right?”
