Calliope was used to the Jewell family's antics, but Ulysses' words still shocked her.
"Why should I care about her?" she asked incredulously. "I barely know her, and it's not like she's ever done anything nice for me."
With a smirk, she added, "If you care so much about her, why don't you clean up the mess yourself? What's it got to do with me?"
Ulysses glared at her, muttering something under his breath that was too quiet to catch.
"I hope you all heard what my wife said," Silas said smoothly as the group tried to ignore the puddle left behind by Lisette.
His words stopped them in their tracks, and with grim expressions, they begrudgingly set to cleaning up the mess before making a hasty, disheveled exit from the Myers Manor.
Watching them leave, one more haggard than the last, Silas turned to Calliope, concern etched on his handsome features.
"Is this how they’ve treated you?" he asked softly.
Calliope shrugged nonchalantly. "Pretty much. But it's nothing."
There had been worse times, but she had grown accustomed to it. Once, she might have cared, but now she had stopped considering them as family. It made things a lot easier.
Silas searched for words of comfort but was at a loss. He wanted to help her, though he knew she preferred to handle her family matters alone. Instead, he pulled her into a gentle embrace.
"How about something to eat?" he suggested, trying to lift the mood. "Can I make you something?"

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 !!!...
