After dinner, the house buzzed with life as everyone started to unwind. Some gathered around the poker table, while others dove into board games and charades. Soon enough, Calista and Dahlia Baker joined the fun, making the living room even more lively.
Silas found himself roped into a game by Quentin and his two brothers.
While the four of them settled into the game room, Archie sidled up to Calliope, curiosity written all over his face. “What’s going on in there? It looks like they’re about to start a brawl or something.”
Calliope glanced in Silas’s direction and shrugged. “My brothers are probably just putting him through the wringer a bit.”
Archie raised a brow. “A test, huh? They must really care about you. Guess they’re worried he’s not good enough?”
Calliope nodded. “Yeah, they’re not convinced Silas is the right fit for me yet. So, they want to see what he’s made of.”
But honestly, she figured Silas would pass with flying colors. He was as capable as they come—kind, smart, and pretty much a jack-of-all-trades. From what she’d seen, he ticked all her brothers’ boxes.
And when it came to cards? Well, Silas was a beast. She’d watched him play before. His poker face was unbeatable. Not only did he have insane luck, but his knack for calculating odds was out of this world. He’d win every single hand, no matter who he played against.
Sure enough, it didn’t take long before Quentin and the others started to look downright defeated in the game room. These were guys who usually cleaned up at any game night, but up against Silas, it was like they’d forgotten all the rules. They just couldn’t catch a break. All three sat there, staring at their hands, looking utterly deflated.
“How on earth is this possible?” Norton muttered.
“You’re not cheating, are you?” he asked, giving Silas a skeptical once-over.
Silas grinned. “Nope. Even if I tried, I’d never get one over on you three. You’d spot it instantly.”

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......
