Calliope grabbed Yvette’s wrist, her fingers cool and sure. In her other hand, she balanced an iced latte, sipping through the straw as she checked Yvette’s pulse with practiced ease.
After a moment, Calliope looked up, a raised brow betraying her surprise. “Well, you’re in pretty good shape, huh? You got pregnant this fast? It’s definitely a bun in the oven. Is it really Gideon’s, though?”
One sentence, and Fleur’s attention snapped to Yvette. Her eyes narrowed, sharp as knives.
After all, her son’s legs weren’t fully healed yet. Everyone knew that. Who could say for sure if Yvette was really carrying Gideon’s baby? She remembered all too well how Yvette had flirted with Silas. If she could seduce Silas, who’s to say she hadn’t been with someone else, too?
Fleur regarded Yvette with a cautious, almost predatory suspicion.
Yvette’s face went pale, and she shot Calliope a furious glare before rushing to explain, “Mom, it’s not what you think! I’ve only been with Gideon, I swear. If you don’t believe me, just ask him! There’s nobody else, I promise!”
She sounded desperate, pleading with Fleur to believe her.
God, Calliope’s big mouth was going to get her killed one of these days. If she hadn’t said anything, Fleur probably wouldn’t have started doubting her.
But Fleur knew Yvette all too well. She’d never really believed Yvette loved Gideon. It had always been about money and social climbing with her. If someone wealthier or more powerful came along, Yvette would drop Gideon in a heartbeat. But right now, she didn’t have any better options.
Everyone in the Baker family group chat knew what kind of girl Yvette was. There was no way she’d get access to anyone higher up the food chain. She was stuck with them, and she knew it.
“So, she’s really pregnant?” Fleur asked Calliope, her voice a mix of excitement and uncertainty. She wanted to believe it, but couldn’t help worrying that Calliope might be wrong.

The readers' comments on the novel: A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging from Dust
Oh wrestling expert ey? So is this Khamzat Chimaev or Shavkat Rakhmonov? Because Khabib's would be too haram....
Oh no. Million is just mix of Conor McGregor, Islam Makhachev, Mike Tyson, Max Holloway, Anderson Silva... I bet he lands 5sec flying knees like Jorge Masvidal too. Oh nope, 1sec knees. And has faster left hooks than Alex Pereira. Definitely would win UFC championship in every weight division including women. Poor Zhang Weili....
Okay so.... Million is now from East. Arctic wolf from East, modified genetically so he can manage his own Instagram and probably also box like Mike Tyson and snapping left hooks like Alex Pereira....
This is starting to be the same twister of abilities as Cassandra Yates and Tiffany. But question is, why the hell Silas can't just open his mouth and tell Caliope that she's the one whom he has in his heart. He would prevent a lot of misunderstanding. Seems like despite capability of talking with modified arctic wolf, she's not like telepathic....
Oh no, so FL is again another hidden genius with both hemispheres working on hundreds... Ffffuuuu. Cassandra Yates and Tiffany were already enough, ughugh. And Tiffany was even more exaggerated than Cassandra....
That's weird, in the first chapters there was said that her bio parents and bros doteď on Caliope but then they adopted Lisette, but this chapter suddenly says otherwise. Did author forget what he wrote?...
I REALLLYYY REALLLYYYY REALLYYYYYY WANT TO SLAP THE 3 BROTHERS WHENEVER THEY OPEN THEIR MOUTH !!! AND THEIR MOM !!!...
Why has this not been updated ?? there were 5 more chapters which was released and it has not been updated.. Please do update on regular basis......
