She stayed quiet, not offering an opinion on anything. She just took her time, sipping her coffee.
She let everyone else argue, the tension in the room almost thick enough to cut with a knife.
After Verity stopped snapping back at people, the old house finally quieted down a bit, and everyone settled into some casual, light conversation.
When Calista Baker and Dahlia Baker arrived, they took seats beside Calliope.
Calliope asked them about school, and also checked in on how Calista was doing at the company. Lately, whenever Calista had free time, he’d go to the office to learn from Silas.
Silas always said Calista picked things up incredibly fast. He was still young, but already way ahead of where Gideon had been at his age. It wouldn’t be long before Calista could handle things on his own.
“Yeah, it’s been great,” Calista nodded seriously. “Uncle Silas has taught me so much. Whenever I’m stuck, I ask you too, Aunt Callie, and I think I’ve got the hang of it all now.”
“You really are doing well. Your uncle keeps saying how impressed he is with you! At this rate, you’ll be running things yourself in no time.”
Calliope was clearly pleased with Calista.
Dahlia chimed in from beside her, “Aunt Callie, how come you’re only praising him? I’ve learned a lot too, you know! I think I’m doing pretty well!”
“You are, Dahlia! You’ve totally mastered every sewing technique I’ve shown you!”
Calliope couldn’t help but laugh at Dahlia, finding her absolutely adorable. That finally got a big, satisfied grin out of Dahlia.
It wasn’t long before the whole family had gathered.
Everyone moved to the dining room, chatting and laughing as they settled in for their big holiday dinner.
Calliope sat beside Eamon, talking with him and making sure his plate was full. She mentioned she’d be spending Christmas Eve with her brothers tomorrow.
Eamon didn’t mind at all. He said she should absolutely spend time with her 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......
