“Wait, Horatio still needs you to take care of him?” Calliope glanced at Lisette, her brow raised in surprise.
Then she turned to her brother. “Horatio, is there something you need help with? Why didn’t you just tell me? I’m staying here for the next few days, so if you need anything, just say the word, okay? I mean, I am your sister. Looking out for you is kind of my job!”
Her sincerity was so clear, Horatio actually found it hard to brush her off.
But Lisette, on the other hand, looked like she’d just bitten into a lemon. The minute Calliope said she’d be staying over, Lisette’s composure snapped. Her eyes went wide. “Calliope, what did you just say? You’re… staying here? Like, actually staying?”
Her voice was sharper than she meant, and suddenly the whole room was looking her way, unsure why she was so upset.
Calliope blinked at her, then shrugged. “Are you not happy to see me, Lisette? You seem a little… intense.”
She glanced around, almost as if seeking backup. “Are you all upset that I’m here too?”
She dropped her gaze, voice suddenly softer. “Well, maybe I shouldn’t have come back. I mean, I guess this isn’t really my home anymore.”
“No, no, that’s not what we meant!” Horatio said quickly.
“We fixed up your room and everything,” Valerian chimed in. “You want to stay here, then stay! If Silas wants to visit, that’s fine too. He’s your husband, he’s welcome!”
“Right, this is your family home,” Horatio said. “You can always come back, Callie. It’s your house too.”
“Horatio, Valerian, I’ll move my stuff into the spare room, okay? My old room was always Callie’s anyway.” Lisette tried to sound generous, hoping to remind everyone of her usual, agreeable self.
Monty, who’d been quiet till now, suddenly grinned. “Lisette, you’re the best! I always knew you were the sensible one.”
Lisette stared at him, confused by his enthusiasm. She shot a suspicious look at Horatio and Valerian.
They exchanged a glance, then smiled at her, the sort of knowing smile that made her skin crawl.
What on earth was going on?

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......
