"Really?" Calliope pursed her lips. He hadn't said he loved her, only that she was his wife.
Was it only a sense of duty?
Calliope glanced at Silas and took a bite of the pasta. It tasted delicious, just the way she liked it.
"How is it?" Silas asked eagerly, looking like a puppy wagging its tail, waiting to get praised.
Calliope couldn't help being amused by this rare display.
At home, Silas was apart from the domineering figure he cut outside. Outside, he was assertive and commanding, but at home, he was like an eager and gentle golden retriever.
And yet, that was part of his unique charm.
The more time she spent with him, the more she had fallen for him, unable to pull away.
She'd once thought she'd leave him quickly and had been afraid of him, but now she wasn't terrified. Instead, she feared he'd suddenly decide he didn't want her anymore.
"Aren't you worried I'll cling to you forever because you're so good to me?" Calliope asked, taking another bite of pasta and looking up.
"Isn't that what you want?" Silas frowned slightly. "Am I good enough to you? I feel like I'm not."
"If this isn't good, then what is?" Calliope couldn't think of any way he could be better. Silas was willing to give her everything he owned and look after her in every way. He granted her freedom in whatever she wanted to pursue. A guy like him was indeed one in a million.
"But you haven't spent any of my money," Silas suddenly looked a bit crestfallen.
Calliope paused.
"I gave you a card, and you haven't used it." A hint of disappointment crossed Silas's handsome face.
It was as if she was intentionally keeping her distance, drawing a line between them. Calliope hadn't touched the money he offered, even though he said she could spend as she pleased—even if she spent it all.

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......
