"I never really liked any of this food before, you know. I only pretended to because everyone kept saying I did. Honestly, it’s like the real person who enjoys this stuff is someone else entirely."
Calliope shot a glance at Lisette.
Lisette had been happily digging into her breakfast until she heard Calliope. She straightened up, looking genuinely puzzled.
"Wait, you mean you didn’t actually like these breakfasts?" Lisette blurted, shaking her head. "I mean, I really do love waffles and bacon, but I had no idea you felt pressured to like them too!"
She looked a little shocked. With Calliope here, the whole Jewell family felt like a minefield to Lisette. It used to just be her, but now Silas was involved too, and that made everything even more complicated.
Silas seemed to be deliberately stirring the pot.
"Come on, it’s just breakfast. Why be so picky? Scrambled eggs are scrambled eggs, you know?" Zelda grumbled. "It’s not like eating breakfast from Essence Delight will make you immortal or something."
Zelda’s patience snapped. "Lisette eats anything you put in front of her. How come you’re always so fussy, Callie?"
Calliope looked up at Zelda, her voice calm but steady. "I don’t think I’m that fussy, am I? I’ve eaten the same things as everyone else these past few days, haven’t I?"
Zelda, who always had a soft spot for Lisette, frowned.
Silas glared at Valerian and ignored him, leading Calliope out the door. Valerian followed close behind.
As soon as they were gone, Monty rounded on Zelda. "Are you trying to get us all kicked out of town? Do you realize one word from Silas and we’re finished here in Capitalton? It’s just breakfast, for Christ’s sake! Let her eat what she wants!"
Zelda shot back, "Maybe if you weren’t so spineless, we wouldn’t have to worry about him! And seriously, what kind of father-in-law is scared of his own son-in-law?"
She turned to Lisette, softening her tone. "Lisette, don’t mind them. Eat up! I made all your favorites. Enjoy, sweetheart."

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......
