Calliope was really enjoying herself, savoring each bite with a grin that only seemed to grow wider. The rest of the group sat there, their appetites vanishing entirely as they watched her.
Once she was finished, Calliope dabbed her mouth with a napkin in a manner that was almost regal.
She glanced up. "Wow, you guys aren't eating at all? What's the matter? Didn't I order well? Or are you just not hungry?
If you're not hungry, I guess I'll just have to take it all with me! Can't let all this go to waste, right? These dishes didn't come cheap!"
"Hey, waiter, could you pack all this up for me?" Calliope asked.
The waiter looked at Zelda and the others, but no one objected. So, he went ahead and brought out the boxes.
There was a mountain of food, and Calliope had only tasted a little. Some of the dishes hadn't been touched at all.
In no time, the table was cleared, every dish neatly boxed up.
Head bowed, Calliope was now absorbed in her phone, while Zelda and her companions were nearly boiling with frustration. Zelda couldn't believe Calliope had the nerve to pack everything up when they hadn't even had a bite.
Monty was visibly upset as well.
Lisette, on the other hand, was staring at Calliope with a mixture of confusion. She remembered when Calliope wasn't like this at all - always trying to please Monty and the rest of them.
But ever since the wedding, it was like she had transformed into someone completely different.
"Callie, now that you're full, feeling a bit better? Can we talk about business? Gideon already apologized. Will you accept it?" She attempted a soothing tone impatiently and tenderly she'd never used with Calliope before.
"You know, you really love Gideon, and he likes you too. That Yvette won't amount to much. I never liked her, and I certainly wouldn’t want her as my daughter-in-law."
Calliope lifted her bright eyes, a soft laugh escaping her lips.
"Funny, that's not what you said before. Didn't you say you didn't like me either? You mentioned that Gideon, of all people, wouldn't choose me. You told me not to get my hopes up."
At that moment, Fleur wished she could slap herself. If only she'd known Eamon would agree to give Calliope the shares, she might have encouraged Calliope to marry into the family sooner.

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......
