"Bad luck to die young?" Norton frowned, his tone skeptical. "Well, that’s not exactly great news."
Quentin shot Silas a look, too. "You’re not gonna kick the bucket early, are you? What’s Callie supposed to do if you croak on her?"
Silas was quiet for a moment, eyes flicking between them. After a pause, he finally spoke up. "Not sure I’d call it dying young, really. I mean, I’m pretty healthy, aren’t I? Even if I did bite the dust, I’ve got enough set aside for Callie to be taken care of. And she could always move on, find someone new."
He shrugged, almost matter-of-fact. "I wouldn’t mind if she found happiness again. But right now, I can give her that, and that’s what matters. I want to be with her. And even if I’m gone, I’ll be looking out for her, just, you know, from the other side."
You could tell from the look in Silas’s eyes—he wasn’t about to let Calliope go, not for anything.
Julius looked uncertain, fiddling with the edge of his sleeve. "Maybe I messed up the numbers," he muttered. "Could’ve been a glitch in the ol’ fortune-teller routine. Might just be a false alarm."
He shook his head. "Anyway, I’m not always spot-on. Who knows if you’ll die early? One thing’s for sure: you’re talented and loaded, and you’ll probably stay that way. And honestly, Callie doesn’t need your money. She’s doing just fine in that department. But if you really love her, just treat her right, okay?"
"I know," Silas said, his gaze steady as steel. "I’ll give her everything I can."
The three of them didn’t look totally convinced, but Silas’s determination seemed to satisfy them for now.
They chatted a bit more, and before long, it was pushing midnight.
Quentin stretched and yawned. "Alright, fellas, bedtime."
He headed over to Calliope’s room to give her a heads-up about their plan for the night.

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......
