Silas had way too much to drink. He was tipsy, cheeks flushed, but his eyes never left Calliope. When she suddenly stumbled, he was at her side in a flash, steadying her before she could hit the floor.
He held her gently, his gaze soft and adoring.
“Careful there,” he murmured, voice low and warm.
“I’m fine,” Calliope assured him, brushing herself off. She had caught herself before anything happened, but Silas reeked of whiskey and beer—so much so that she wrinkled her nose in protest.
“Come here, you,” Calliope said, grabbing Silas by the hand and steering him toward her brothers—Quentin, Norton, and Julius.
She’d hoped they’d have some self-control, maybe not push the drinking too far. But Silas smelled like he’d bathed in bourbon, and she realized her brothers had definitely overdone it.
It was obvious—he’d had way too much. And as her husband, if he drank himself into oblivion, she’d be the one nursing his hangover.
“Did you guys let him drink this much?” Calliope asked, frowning.
But as she approached, she realized her brothers were in even worse shape than Silas.
“Silas! C’mon, one more shot!” Quentin slurred, waving a glass in the air and nearly spilling it on himself.
“Silas, how’d you get so good looking?” he added, squinting at him. “Nope, that’s not okay. You can’t be better looking than Callie. That’s just not fair to her!”
Calliope stared at the group, exasperated.
So it wasn’t just Silas—they were all plastered. Totally hammered, actually.
“Quentin, that’s enough,” she said, grabbing his glass and setting it down. “Alright, party’s over. No more drinks!”
“No more?” Quentin mumbled, blinking in confusion.

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......
