“These styles are just awful. Let’s try somewhere else,” Valerian said, picking up on the awkward atmosphere and quickly steering Lisette away.
Horatio and Ulysses trailed behind, neither saying much. Ulysses kept glancing back at Calliope, unable to help himself. He knew it now—she had those amazing new brothers in her life. There was no way she’d ever look at them, her original brothers, the same way again. Of course she didn’t need them anymore.
A strange, heavy sort of sadness settled in Ulysses’ chest. Horatio looked just as conflicted.
Up ahead, Valerian and Lisette walked in silence, both lost in their own thoughts. Neither had realized just how well Calliope had been doing since she left the Jewell family, or that she’d found brothers who could easily replace them.
Lisette especially couldn’t believe it. She had tried so hard to win Calliope over, to be the sister she never had, but apparently, Calliope didn’t even need her.
If Lisette had brothers like that—tall, charming, successful—she probably wouldn’t bother with her original family either. These guys weren’t nearly as handsome or accomplished as the new ones.
Eventually, the four of them reached a little rest area in the mall, a cozy spot with some benches and a vending machine humming nearby. They sat down, all of them looking more than a little worn out.
“I’m sorry, guys,” Lisette said, her voice earnest. “This was supposed to be a fun day out. I didn’t mean for it to turn out this way.”
No one really wanted to talk. The silence dragged on until Valerian finally cleared his throat.
“Lisette, none of this is your fault. Seriously. You couldn’t have known.”

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......
