Calliope was home before anyone even noticed she’d been gone.
Silas and the others were busy getting dinner ready in the kitchen, chopping and sautéing, everyone working together like a well-oiled machine.
Calliope popped her head in, acting like nothing was out of the ordinary.
“I’m back!” she called out, grinning.
Her brothers and Silas barely glanced up from their prep work. One was rinsing potatoes, another was slicing up a roast, someone else was stirring a pot on the stove. The whole scene could have come straight out of a movie—everyone pitched in, laughing and joking as they went.
“Let me help out!” Calliope said, grabbing an apron and tying it around her waist.
Silas looked up with a gentle smile. “No need, Callie. Why don’t you relax in the living room? We’ve got this under control. Besides, with all the oil and smoke, you’ll be better off out there.”
Quentin nodded. “He’s right. You’ll just distract us with your culinary genius. How about you let us show off for once?”
“Hey, Callie, everything sorted out?” Norton asked, glancing over his shoulder.
“Yep, all good,” Calliope replied, her voice casual but her mind somewhere else.
She decided not to mention the trouble she’d just dealt with. It was Christmas Eve, after all, no point in ruining the mood with drama. Especially not with Silas. If he found out Oliver had come looking for her, he’d spend the whole night stewing over it.
Let them do whatever they wanted with the Jewell family, she thought. That mess was officially not her problem anymore, not since her grandfather told her to stay out of it. If anyone deserved a little trouble, it was them.
Still, she wasn’t about to let Silas get mixed up with Oliver. That guy just radiated bad news, and Calliope was fiercely protective of the people she cared about, Silas most of all.

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......
