A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging from Dust novel Chapter 765

“What are you doing here, old man?”

Instinctively, Calliope stepped in front of Silas, shielding him. Her eyes were sharp and wary as she glared at Oliver. “I told you before, Silas isn’t going back with you. And I’m not divorcing him, so stop dreaming!”

“Daydreaming all the time isn’t good for you,” she added with a scoff.

Oliver stared at her for a moment before turning his attention to Silas. “So, you need a woman to protect you now?”

“My wife wants to protect me, and I’m happy to let her,” Silas replied coolly, shooting a glance at Oliver. “Now get out.”

His tone was cold and commanding, making it clear he wasn’t pleased to see Oliver in their room.

“I’m not leaving,” Oliver said, as if it was the most natural thing in the world. “We need to have a real talk.”

“There’s nothing for us to discuss,” Silas said, his eyes narrowing, his voice now edged with hostility. “I’m not causing you any trouble, so you’d better behave yourself.”

“Or what? You’ll destroy everything I have?” Oliver challenged, raising his voice.

“If you don’t leave now, Oliver, don’t blame me for getting rough,” Silas warned, his icy stare locked on his father.

“Oh, really? What are you gonna do, hit me?” Oliver scoffed. “I’m your father. Hitting your own dad? That’s a big no-no, son.”

Oliver didn’t believe Silas would ever lay a hand on him. He knew his son hated him, but after all these years, Silas had never actually tried to hurt him. Deep down, he figured it was because he was Silas’s father. No real son would ever go that far.

But Calliope could see it. Silas was well and truly pissed off. His face was twisted with anger, veins bulging on his clenched fists. His eyes practically shot flames.

Still, he didn’t move. Silas wasn’t like Oliver. He knew if he lost control, Oliver would only get a sick thrill out of it, proof that they were cut from the same cloth. Silas wasn’t about to give him that satisfaction.
