A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging from Dust novel Chapter 876

Calliope didn’t answer right away. She just looked at Silas, her eyes meeting his.

“So, what do you think?” she asked softly.

“Do you even want to?” she added, a hint of hope flickering in her gaze.

Silas held her gaze for a long moment before glancing out the window, as if searching for an answer in the rain-streaked glass. He seemed torn, wrestling with something inside.

Seeing him hesitate, Calliope felt her heart drop. Was he going to say no? Was this about that woman from his past? Did he still care about her, still see Calliope as just a stand-in?

The realization stung. The more time she spent with Silas, the deeper she fell for him. What started out as a simple favor had turned into something she depended on—his kindness, his warmth. She’d grown used to it, maybe even addicted.

Sometimes she forgot there’d ever been someone else. She’d even forgotten what people said—that the last woman looked a lot like her.

Was she just a substitute after all?

A bitter disappointment settled over her. He didn’t want to have a child with her. She’d thought, with their good genes, their kid would be adorable.

“Forget it,” she said suddenly, forcing a smile. “Having a kid is pretty terrifying anyway. Raising one isn’t exactly a walk in Central Park.”

Silas looked relieved. He smiled back and reached out, gently ruffling her hair.

“Yeah, you’re right. I don’t want you taking that risk. Childbirth is dangerous, and I like things just the way they are.”

Calliope tried to smile, but it was thin and tight. Deep down, something in her had cooled.

She couldn’t help it; a wedge of doubt had crept in.
