Gideon clenched his fists, sneaking a glance in Calliope’s direction. She was listening, but she kept her cool, merely raising an eyebrow at him.
“Got it,” Gideon replied, not daring to go against Eamon’s wishes.
Dinner time rolled around, and everyone gathered at the table.
Calliope sat between Eamon and Silas. They kept asking her what she wanted from the spread, offering to serve her portions. It was clear they were fond of her.
In stark contrast, Yvette, who was supposed to be the honored guest, was sandwiched between Gideon and Fleur, looking anything but pleased. Although she sat with everyone, she couldn’t break into their lively chatter and laughter.
Gideon’s gaze was fixated on Calliope, leaving Yvette wondering what was going through his mind.
On the other side, Fleur’s glare was sharp enough to cut through steel, her disdain evident every time Yvette went to pick up her fork.
That made Yvette feel like she’d done something terribly wrong. She didn’t dare touch her food after that. The meal was a nerve-wracking ordeal for her.
After they finished eating, Verity suddenly chimed in, “Oh, by the way, Yvette, you’ll soon be part of the Baker family. So you should start pulling your weight around here, don’t you think?”
Yvette’s instincts screamed trouble.
Sure enough, Verity continued, “I remember Fleur appreciates a diligent daughter-in-law, right? Like how—”
Verity almost mentioned Calliope’s name but caught herself just in time.
“Let’s put it this way. A hardworking daughter-in-law should be eager to help with chores. Don’t say I didn’t warn you. After a meal, it’s only polite to lend a hand in the kitchen.”
Yvette turned an alarming shade of green with anger. With so many people around, why should she, a future daughter-in-law, need to help in the kitchen?

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 !!!...
