When Gideon heard those words, he shot a sour glance at Calliope across the table. It was as if every syllable was aimed directly at him.
He couldn’t help but reminisce about the past, back when Calliope would always be around him. Now, she didn’t even bother to acknowledge his presence, leaving him with no chance to speak with her. It left a bitter taste in his mouth.
Gideon found himself missing the old Calliope, yearning for the good old days. Initially, he thought Yvette was great, but now it seemed all her goodness was just a facade. She’d changed, and it was obvious she was just buttering him up to secure their engagement.
Recently, he’d met a girl who bore a slight resemblance to Calliope, but even with her, he couldn’t find that same spark. He used to find Calliope’s attention annoying, but now, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t recreate that feeling.
He glanced over at Calliope and, in some wild, irrational moments, he thought about whisking her away. Just take her somewhere, where she would be his and his alone, whether she liked it or not.
"Callie, are you aiming that little jab at someone in particular?" Verity teased, nudging Calliope with the air of someone who loved stirring the pot.
"Oh, I'm not pointing fingers," Calliope replied with a casual smile. "Just sharing a thought. What I don't want, I usually just toss away."
She continued, "Don’t take it to heart, dear niece-in-law. It's just that what some people discard, others might find to be a treasure. People are different, right?"
Calliope’s words were like a shot of cold espresso to Yvette, making her visibly tense. If there was any doubt about her target before, that last comment erased it.
Verity was beside herself, thoroughly enjoying the drama.
Yvette, on the other hand, kept her frustration bottled up. Being the newest member of the family, she had no allies at the table and could only stew in silence.

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 !!!...
