Calliope and Silas were casually chatting and munching on snacks, not really paying much attention to the newlyweds up on the stage.
Once the speeches and toasts were done, Gideon and Yvette started making their rounds, clinking glasses with each table. Given that Yvette was pregnant, Gideon made sure she wasn’t drinking, doing most of the toasting himself.
When they reached Calliope's table, Gideon locked eyes with Calliope for what felt like an eternity. He nearly forgot to toast.
A gentle nudge brought him back to reality, and he raised his glass to everyone at the table. As he moved on, he gave Calliope one last lingering look.
"He’s definitely not over you," Silas remarked, almost offhandedly.
"I’ve been done with him for ages," Calliope replied with a shrug. "Even if he regrets it now, it’s too late. We’re adults. We’ve got to own up to our choices, right?"
She turned to Silas, "What do you think of Calista?"
"He's impressive," Silas nodded. "Never really paid him much attention before, but now, he seems like the true heir the Baker family needs."
Calliope felt a wave of relief wash over her. She genuinely believed Calista was the best choice. If someone had to lead the Baker family, it should be him. It seemed Silas thought so too.
"Thinking of mentoring him?"
"I’ve already had a chat with him. He’s planning to drop by the office soon," Silas replied. "You like him too, don’t you?"
"Yeah, both Calista and Dahlia are exceptional kids."

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......
