Silas eyed the envelope in Calliope’s hands with obvious curiosity. It was pretty clear—this was one of those things people left behind when they knew their time was running out, and it was meant for her.
He had no idea what the letter said. But judging by the way Calliope was clutching it, it had to be something important.
“Is that the letter your grandpa left you?”
Calliope nodded, looking a little uncertain. Still, she took a deep breath and opened the letter. She handed the old cigar box it came in over to Silas, then started to read.
It was definitely Grandpa Kermit’s handwriting. No doubt about it, this was his farewell.
As soon as she started reading, Calliope’s expression changed. Shock washed over her face.
Kermit had written this when he knew he didn’t have much time left. He’d said there was a secret he couldn’t leave without telling her, a truth he’d kept to himself until now.
He explained he hadn’t told her before because he didn’t think she was ready. So, he’d left the letter here, in the old farmhouse, knowing she’d eventually come back, probably to help sell or tear down the place, and she’d find it.
The letter wasn’t long. After a few lines reminiscing about the past, Kermit got right to the heart of things—Calliope’s origins.
No one else ever knew, not the Jewells, not their friends, not anyone. Just Kermit and that mysterious woman.
Now, with his time almost up, Kermit couldn’t bear to take the secret to his grave. He needed Calliope to know the truth.
He told her not to feel guilty. The inheritance she’d received was all from her birth mother, not the Jewells. He asked her to protect what was hers, not to hand it over to Monty or anyone else.
Kermit knew the Jewells hadn’t treated her well. In the end, he told her plainly not to waste any more time worrying about the Jewell family. They weren’t really her family, not where it counted.

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 !!!...
