Gavin was deep in conversation with Willow about Archie’s upcoming marriage.
Chester, half-distracted by his video game, looked up and chimed in, “Dad, you’re totally right. Just go with your plan. Tie him down if you have to. What’s he gonna do, run away? The Yaltons don’t even care if Archie’s on board. That Yalton girl… not the brightest bulb in the box, and she’s got some mental issues, honestly. The fact anyone would marry her has the Yaltons over the moon!”
Willow frowned. “Isn’t that a bit harsh for Archie? He’ll fight back if he’s forced.”
Chester shrugged. “Let the Yaltons deal with their own mess. Our job’s just to hand Archie over, that’s all. Once we get what we want, Archie’s their problem. If they want him to have kids, keep him locked up, whatever, that’s up to them. We’re basically selling him off.”
He glanced at his father. “Right, Dad?”
Gavin nodded, “You’ve got it. That’s what we’ll do, then.”
“Do what? Seriously?”
A furious voice cut through the room as Calliope practically kicked in the door.
“Archie doesn’t want to get married, and you’re just going to sell your own son off like he’s cattle?”
She stormed over to the dining table, her eyes sweeping across the spread. The table was piled high with food—roast turkey, glazed ham, mashed potatoes, pecan pie—all the classic holiday dishes. Three plates were neatly set for Gavin, Willow, and Chester. But there was no plate for Archie.
Seeing that, Calliope nearly exploded.
“This is your Christmas dinner? And there’s not even a place set for Archie? You don’t treat him like family, but you think you can sell him off?”
With that, she swept her arm across the table, sending dishes crashing to the floor, gravy and stuffing splattering everywhere.

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......
