“We’re her real family! How could she possibly treat someone else like her big brother?”
Valerian echoed Lisette’s words, sounding genuinely annoyed.
Lisette gave a small, smug grin. She knew Valerian was completely on her side now.
As for Calliope, well, she wasn’t getting any of their affection.
Ulysses felt conflicted. He’d missed Lisette, honestly, but seeing her now, he couldn’t muster much enthusiasm. His thoughts kept drifting to Calliope, who’d left with those other brothers.
It felt like he didn’t have a real sister anymore. She definitely didn’t think of him as a brother.
At dinner that evening, the whole Jewell family gathered around the table. The spread was classic: roast chicken, mashed potatoes, green beans, and a big salad.
“Tomorrow’s Christmas Eve. Should we invite Callie over for dinner?” Monty Jewell suddenly asked, forking a piece of turkey.
The table went quiet. Everyone glanced over at him, unsure. Calliope hadn’t been home since she’d moved out. The only time she showed up was when Horatio needed her to do his acupuncture treatments.
“What’s the point? Even if we invite her, do you really think she’ll show up?” Zelda snapped, barely hiding her irritation. She honestly didn’t want to see Calliope at all. Just the thought of her put Zelda in a bad mood.
“She probably won’t come,” Ulysses muttered, frowning. He couldn’t stop thinking about how close Calliope seemed with those other ‘brothers.’
Honestly, she didn’t look like she needed any of them anymore. Especially that Julius guy, he could outshine Ulysses in every way.
For whatever reason, it seemed like Calliope had chosen them over her own family.

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......
