She glanced at Calliope with a pout, "Callie, is that really what you’ve been saying about me out there?"
Huh? She hadn’t said anything and yet here she was, slurred by Lisette without reason.
"Callie, how could you say that about Lisette? Don’t you know how pure and kind she is?" Horatio looked at Calliope in disbelief.
"Honestly, I didn’t," Calliope shrugged. "And it seems like you don’t really either."
Horatio furrowed his brows and took a deep breath.
Then he looked up at Quentin, saying, "Quentin Sutton, I've heard of you. There’s been a misunderstanding, and I apologize."
After that, he turned to Calliope with a hint of resignation and said, "Callie, I’m your big brother. Listen to me and apologize to Lisette!"
"I didn’t hit her or yell at her. I just told the truth, and now I have to apologize?"
"Let it go… She probably didn’t mean it," Lisette said in a voice as sweet as an angel, tugging on the edge of Horatio’s shirt.
Horatio looked at Lisette with sympathy and then at Calliope with disappointment in his eyes. "Callie, when will you ever be as considerate as Lisette?"
"That’s probably gonna be a challenge," Calliope pouted, failing to see Lisette’s so-called being considerate.
"Never mind," Horatio sighed. "You grew up spoiled by Grandpa, so you’re a bit headstrong."
Quentin was already frowning, looking a bit annoyed. Just as he was about to step forward, Calliope stopped him.
"Oh, Lisette helped, did she?" Calliope nodded. "Well, if she’s got it covered, I guess I shouldn’t worry. Horatio, let your dear sister check you out quickly before you’re back in that wheelchair, all deflated."
With that, Calliope was done wasting words. She turned to Quentin and Norton, "Brothers, let’s go. I’ve got gifts to give you!"
The three of them quickly got into the car waiting by the curb.
Horatio watched Calliope’s retreating figure with a furrowed brow, feeling something unsettling growing inside him.
Under normal circumstances, he wouldn’t pay much heed to Calliope’s words.
But lately… he had indeed noticed something odd about his legs, like they were slipping out of his control.

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......
