Valerian had never seen Calliope like this before.
In his eyes, Calliope was always a bit of a mess, someone who couldn’t hold down a decent job or fit in anywhere. But here she was, laughing and chatting like she belonged, effortlessly blending into Norton’s circle of friends.
Valerian took another sip of his beer, trying to ignore the nagging feeling in his gut.
Lisette noticed his attention was fixed on Calliope and felt a twinge of unease herself. “Hey, Valerian, try the grilled cheese,” she nudged, hoping to divert his focus.
He took a bite, but the laughter from across the room drew his gaze back to Calliope.
A buddy elbowed him playfully. “Didn’t you say your sister was a wallflower? She seems like a riot! And she can hold her drink, too. She’s been here five minutes and already she’s part of the gang.”
Valerian frowned, his mood souring. He watched as Calliope mingled, eating and drinking without a care in the world. She seemed unaffected by the alcohol, joining in their games with an easygoing charm that kept everyone in high spirits.
As the evening wound down, Calliope offered to pick up the tab. Some of the group protested, insisting she shouldn’t pay, but she waved them off with a smile and said they'd cover it next time.
After settling the bill, Calliope didn’t even glance Valerian’s way as she left, still chatting and laughing with Norton’s friends.
Valerian couldn’t take it anymore. He stood abruptly and strode over to her.
“Wait up. We need to talk.”
Despite his mixed feelings about her, she was still his sister, and he couldn’t just ignore her.

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 !!!...
