A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging from Dust novel Chapter 780

Monty and his group picked a table close to Calliope’s group.

They chatted over burgers and fries, sneaking glances at Calliope every now and then. But she didn’t even bother to look up at them, not once. After a couple failed attempts at eye contact, they just exchanged awkward looks and kept quiet.

When Calliope and her crew finished eating, they got up to leave.

Monty’s group scrambled to gather their stuff and trailed right after them.

As Calliope’s group piled into the elevator, Monty and his friends tried to squeeze in too, but Silas and Uriah blocked the way.

“Sorry, no more room,” Uriah said, expression icy.

Monty glanced at the nearly empty elevator and grumbled, “There’s plenty of space…”

“We just don’t like being crowded,” Silas said flatly.

Monty rolled his eyes, but there was nothing they could do except watch the doors slide shut on Calliope and her friends.

Not to be left behind, Monty’s group hurried into the next elevator and followed them down.

It was a big day in the city, the kind of place that really goes all out for the winter holidays, with parades, fireworks, and food stalls at every corner. The auction wasn’t until the evening, so Calliope’s crew decided to spend the afternoon sightseeing, maybe catch the street performers or grab some funnel cake.

As they stepped out of the hotel, the distant pops of fireworks echoed in the chilly air.

Monty and his group hustled after them, Monty calling out, “Callie, can’t you please talk to your mom? She really wants to make things right with you. You know she cares!”
