“She’s downright terrifying when she loses it.” Calliope remembered some of the stories she’d heard.
The Yalton family had been desperate to find a man to marry their daughter and give them an heir. But every guy they’d picked didn’t even make it to the wedding. The eldest Miss Yalton had a way of… getting rid of them.
She was clearly unstable, so much so she never even had to face jail time. The Yaltons would just pull a few strings and sweep the whole thing under the rug.
Now, Gavin wanted Archie to marry Ms. Yalton. It was clear he didn’t care whether Archie lived or died.
What kind of father does that? Calliope thought bitterly. Maybe he even hoped Archie would die, so Chester could have the whole family fortune to himself.
Calliope frowned, feeling a pang of sympathy, and cast a quick glance at Archie.
“Hey, Archie, it’s okay. You’ve still got us,” Calliope said gently. She knew what it felt like to be treated like that by your own family. Archie must be hurting.
After chatting with him for a bit, they finally made it home.
As soon as they walked in, everyone started bustling around the kitchen, eager to fix a meal for Archie.
But Archie just shrugged. “You guys already made a bunch of food earlier, right? There’s plenty of leftovers. I’m fine with that. Don’t go out of your way for me.”
He was so insistent that they just reheated the leftovers: roast turkey, mashed potatoes, green bean casserole—good old comfort food. They all sat down and ate together.
After dinner, they bundled up and headed outside to set off some fireworks.
Archie stood under the pale winter moon, watching bursts of color bloom overhead. He smiled softly. “Thank you, guys.”
He’d thought he’d be stuck at home, alone and hungry this Christmas. He’d even thought he might actually be forced to marry Ms. Yalton. But then Calliope and her friends had shown up.

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 !!!...
