A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging from Dust novel Chapter 951

“Do you… do you really enjoy drinking?” Nigel asked, almost tentative, humility flickering in his voice. “If you didn’t have your fill today and feel like another glass, I can have someone bring over a proper bottle. What you had earlier wasn’t exactly top shelf.”

“Really?” Calliope’s eyes sparkled with interest.

It wasn’t that she was short on money, but some of the finest bottles were hard to come by, money or not. In that domain, Nigel’s connections were unrivaled. Anything he offered would only be the best.

“Really. Anything you want, it’s yours. Of course, being on a cruise has its limitations—my private collection’s at home. But if you have time in the future, I’ll invite you out to my vineyard. You can pick whatever you want—anything at all.”

“Are you serious?” Calliope looked at him skeptically, her gaze narrowing. “Your cellar is legendary. You’d really let me choose?”

“Absolutely,” Nigel replied without hesitation. “If you want it, I’ll make it happen.”

“In that case, send up a decent bottle for tonight,” Calliope said, giving him a sidelong glance. “And you know, you really shouldn’t have interrupted us earlier—not because I needed another drink, but because I was setting the hook. You cut in, and my catch slipped away.”

“That’s why I was a little annoyed,” she added, her tone offhand. “But it’s fine. The bait’s still here—sooner or later, it’ll come back.”

Understanding dawned on Nigel’s face. “Oh—that’s what was going on! I’m sorry, that was my mistake.” He gave her a heartfelt apology.

“No worries. It’s water under the bridge,” Calliope said with an easy smile. “If nothing else, you certainly tormented Lisette enough. I bet she seriously regrets ever crossing you.”
