Calliope shot Gideon a cool glance, her expression unchanging as she slipped her arm through Silas’s and they walked into the old manor.
Silas didn’t even look in Gideon’s direction. It was as if Gideon didn’t exist.
Once upon a time, Silas had liked him—really liked him. He’d given him chance after chance.
Now? He’d been tossed aside, just like yesterday’s newspaper.
Silas wasn’t giving him another shot. He’d handed every opportunity to Calista and Dahlia, but for Gideon? Not a single one.
He’d even tried telling Grandpa about the baby Yvette was carrying, hoping that would win him some sympathy.
Grandpa didn’t even blink. Worse, Grandpa actually urged him to have Yvette end the pregnancy, just because Calliope suspected something might be wrong with the baby.
Gideon didn’t believe that for a second. There was no way he’d let Yvette go through with it. He’d make sure the baby was born, and when everyone saw how healthy that kid was, they’d eat their words.
Besides, Gideon knew babies were adorable. Even if Grandpa wasn’t on his side now, once his great-grandson was born, there was no way the old man would let his own flesh and blood go without.
He and Grandpa weren’t close. But once the baby arrived, spending time at Grandpa’s house, that would change everything.
Silas always listened to Grandpa, too. So, all he needed was for the baby to steal Grandpa’s heart, then everything would fall into place.
Gideon glanced back one last time, then walked away.
...
Meanwhile, Calliope and Silas made their way to see the old man. He was in the living room, feeding fried chicken to Million.
Million had definitely packed on the pounds lately, no doubt Eamon was spoiling him.

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......
