Calliope glanced at Ulysses, sizing him up with a flicker of curiosity and suspicion. She wasn’t sure what he was after, but he definitely seemed different from before.
Silas, always the protective one, stepped a little closer to Calliope. He didn’t say anything, but the frown on his face and the tightness in his jaw spoke volumes. He didn’t want this guy upsetting his wife.
Ulysses ignored Silas and everyone else, his gaze fixed on Calliope. He was waiting for her answer, nothing else.
After a moment, Calliope sighed and said, “Alright, you’ve got five minutes.”
She turned to the others. “Go on up. I’ll catch up with you after I talk to him.”
Silas hesitated but nodded, ushering everyone else into the elevator. Once the doors slid shut and it was just the two of them, Ulysses finally spoke.
“I’m sorry,” he said quietly.
Calliope blinked, a little surprised. Apologies weren’t exactly his style. Back when he used to make her life miserable, he’d never once uttered those words.
But here he was, standing in front of her, sounding completely sincere.
Calliope listened to Ulysses’ confession, still not quite believing it. “So you finally figured it out. And now what? You apologize and hope I’ll go soft, and then what? Ask me for something? And if I say no, you’re all just going to gang up on me again?”
She knew the Jewell family too well. Every once in a while, they’d have a crisis of conscience, but it never lasted. By the next Sunday brunch, it was like nothing had ever happened.
No matter how earnest Ulysses sounded now, she doubted it would stick. Maybe he’d even forget about this conversation by tomorrow. Maybe this apology wasn’t even real.
“That’s not it!” Ulysses looked panicked. “Please, Callie, I know we hurt you. I know I did. But I swear, I know what I did wrong now!”

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 !!!...
