Fleur never imagined Calliope would see right through her and even notice her headache with only a glance.
Fleur looked at her with a hint of suspicion. Could Calliope really be that good?
But Fleur wouldn’t admit it. She shook her head and said, "I'm not having a headache. You've got it wrong."
Verity glanced around and chuckled, "Oh, Fleur, are you afraid of being called out? If you have a headache, admit it. Planning two weddings in one year for your son isn't easy. If I were in your shoes, I'd feel more than a headache. I might have passed out from the stress!"
Fleur rolled her eyes, not bothering to respond. Verity would always say things that could drive her up the wall.
The truth was that Fleur did have a headache, especially when dealing with Yvette's family. They were exhausting, constantly calling to demand this and that and going on about how many people they were bringing to the wedding, expecting her to prepare.
She dreaded the thought of Yvette's parents showing up at the wedding. It would be such an embarrassment. But they were Yvette's parents, and it was a tricky situation to handle.
"Callie, could you help me out with some acupuncture? I trust you!" Verity clasped Calliope's hand, looking at her eagerly.
Calliope nodded, withdrawing her hand to pull out her acupuncture needles, then gave Verity a few careful pricks.
"Feels a bit warm," Verity remarked.
"That's normal. Give it a bit, and you'll feel much better," Calliope assured her. "Your neck muscles are quite tense. You should try to move around more often."
"I do tend to hunch over a lot and don't move enough," Verity admitted, "Lately, my neck's been getting stiffer and more painful. I've seen a few doctors, but they all say there's nothing they can do except for me to move more."
Verity grumbled, "But our Callie here knows what she's doing. Just a few needles, and I feel so much better!"

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......
