A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging from Dust novel Chapter 669

“I’ll be staying here for a while, and Silas will, too,” Calliope announced, glancing around the living room at her brothers.

“You guys don’t mind if Silas crashes here, right?” she asked, her tone hopeful.

“He really wants to get to know you all a bit better,” she added. “And I figured it’d be good for everyone.”

Quentin, Norton, and Julius exchanged subtle glances. Truth be told, they were more than a little curious about Silas, maybe even a bit suspicious. They hadn’t paid much attention to Calliope’s ex, Gideon, back in the day. They’d just assumed Callie had good taste, and she’d always been fiercely protective of him. So, no one had really put Gideon through the brotherly wringer.

Turned out, that was a mistake. Gideon’s disaster of a wedding had left everyone furious.

So, yeah, this time, they wanted to properly vet Silas. Get a sense of whether he was genuinely good for Callie or not. If he wasn’t, they’d make sure Calliope knew.

“Of course,” Quentin replied immediately, flashing a reassuring grin. “Let him stay. Family under one roof, it’s the best way to get comfortable with each other.”

“Yeah, we’d like to get to know him, too,” Norton chimed in, nodding.

“Callie, you don’t mind if we… test him a bit?” Julius asked, half-joking but half-serious, giving her a heads-up.

He didn’t want Calliope to be upset if her brothers put Silas through some gentle interrogation.

“It’s fine,” Calliope said, waving it off. “Silas said you guys can test him all you want.”

She knew her brothers wouldn’t go too far, so she wasn’t worried.

“So, dinner tonight?” Quentin suggested. “Is he eating here with us?”

When Silas arrived, he greeted Quentin and the others politely before heading out with Calliope. He was charming and respectful, already making a better impression than Gideon ever had.

The brothers, for now, were satisfied.

Calliope and Silas soon arrived at the Bakers’ old colonial home. Eamon Baker was already there waiting for them. The rest of the family was trickling in, her in-laws’ big, boisterous clan, minus Gideon’s branch.

Verity spotted her and hurried over with a big hug.

“Callie! Thank god you’re here, I was bored out of my mind,” she gushed.

“Oh, and remember that face cream you gave me last time? It’s amazing! Did you make it yourself? Is there anywhere I can buy more?”
