A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging from Dust by Sally Garcia

Chapter 403

Gideon was ignoring his buddies, feeling utterly miserable.

Tomorrow was his wedding day with Yvette, but he felt none of the joy expected of a groom. Sure, he was about to become a father, and he didn't dislike the idea of having a kid. But his feelings for Yvette had long since faded.

Lately, Yvette had been using the fact that she had once saved his life as leverage against him, making him resent her even more.

He took swig after swig of his drink, as if trying to drown his sorrows in whiskey.

His friends had been joking around, but seeing him like this, they exchanged puzzled glances, unsure of what was going on with him.

One of them clapped Gideon on the shoulder. "Hey, man, what's up? You don't look like you're about to get married."

"Don't tell me you're still hung up on Calliope," another chimed in. "I thought you couldn't stand her always being around back in the day. Isn't your wedding with her all about Eamon's shares?"

Gideon chuckled wryly, swirling the amber liquid in his glass. "No, I didn't realize it back then, but I love her. I was such a fool. I didn't know who I truly cared about."
