Ulysses stalked back to his room, his expression as cold as a November wind.
Meanwhile, Zelda and Lisette headed into Zelda’s room across the hall.
“What’s gotten into him?” Zelda muttered. She’d always assumed Ulysses was only being nice to Calliope for the sake of the family business.
But now, something felt off.
Because even when he didn’t have to play nice in front of Calliope, her son was still distant with her. It seemed like his mind was elsewhere, probably still on Calliope.
What on earth was going on with him?
“Did Callie say something to him?” Zelda wondered aloud. “Or maybe she’s trying to turn him against us?”
Lisette looked just as confused. She squeezed Zelda’s hand and said, “No matter what, Mom, don’t worry. I’m always on the Jewell family’s side. There’s no way Callie could win me over.”
“That’s my Lisette,” Zelda beamed, her eyes shining with pride. “You’re my little princess, after all. So smart, so beautiful… At your age, you really should be thinking about settling down. You’re so wonderful, I’m sure I can find you an even better match than Silas. He’s not the only catch out there.”
Zelda’s voice took on a stubborn edge. She was determined: Lisette deserved the best. No way was she going to let her own daughter be outshined by Calliope.
If the daughter she’d raised herself ended up second to some outsider she’d never liked, Zelda would never live it down.
Lisette immediately felt a warning bell go off in her head. Sure, she wanted a great husband, but she did NOT want Zelda picking him out.
She forced a smile. “Mom, thank you, but honestly, I just want to spend more time with you! I’m in no rush to get married. I’d rather be here with you.”
“My sweet, devoted Lisette,” Zelda said, glowing with satisfaction.
Horatio gave him a once-over. “You look like something’s weighing on you.”
Ulysses sighed, taking a seat. “Yeah, I guess there is.”
He looked up, serious. “Horatio, I need to ask you something.”
“About what?” Horatio asked, a little thrown off by Ulysses’s intensity.
“About Callie,” Ulysses said quietly.
Horatio blinked in surprise. “Callie? Okay… what’s on your mind?”

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......
