A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging from Dust novel Chapter 879

After dinner, Calliope and Archie strolled out of the cozy bistro, chatting and laughing as they made their way toward the parking lot. The evening air was crisp, and the golden glow of streetlights stretched their shadows across the pavement.

But just before they reached Archie’s old pickup, he suddenly stopped. Without thinking, he stepped in front of Calliope, his shoulders squared, eyes narrowed at something up ahead.

Calliope peered around him, only to see a familiar scene unfolding: Gideon, caught in some kind of heated argument with a group of guys.

Archie’s reaction was always the same. He’d never liked Gideon, not even a little. If their paths ever crossed, Archie would plant himself between her and Gideon, acting like a human shield—protecting her from seeing him, and vice versa.

But lately, Archie seemed taller than ever. When had he gotten so broad-shouldered? She’d always thought of him as her kid brother, the scrawny boy who used to trail after her. Now, he towered over her, and she couldn’t help but notice.

Suddenly, Gideon caught sight of her. He broke off from shouting at the others and called out, “Callie!”

The group egged him on.

“Hey Gideon, isn’t that your ex? Shouting her name now, you think she’ll give you the time of day?”

“Yeah, you expecting her to bail you out? Fat chance, man.”

“Didn’t you ditch her at your own wedding? Gave her the perfect excuse to run off and marry Silas instead, remember?”

Gideon glared at them. “Get out of my way! I don’t want to fight—I just want to leave, okay?”

He looked desperately in Calliope’s direction, obviously wanting to talk to her, but Archie’s face was stony as he turned and gently guided her away, his hand firm on her shoulder.

Calliope gave a helpless little smile and let Archie lead her toward the car. She knew everyone in her circle had a pretty low opinion of Gideon. Archie, in particular, had warned her about him countless times—told her to open her eyes and see what kind of guy Gideon really was. She just hadn’t listened, not back then.
