Gideon strolled into the jewelry store, and as he spotted Calliope examining a pair of rings, his face darkened.
"Those rings aren't cheap."
He had assumed Calliope was just accompanying Portia, who was the darling of the Sutton family. It made sense for Portia to be shopping for jewelry here.
But Calliope? That was a different story. The Jewell family might be well-off, but Calliope was never the favored child. Heck, she ranked even lower than the adopted daughter in their family. She didn't even work for the Jewell family business. Where on earth was she getting the money to shop in this upscale place?
Both Calliope and Portia turned to look at him.
"Not cheap?" Calliope glanced at Gideon. "Mr. Baker, are you running low on funds? If you think this is expensive, you might be."
She extended her hand, ignoring Gideon as she admired the ring on her finger, clearly pleased with her choice.
"This pair, please," Calliope said, flashing a smile at the sales assistant. "And I'd like that bracelet too. It's a gift for my husband."
Gideon's face fell instantly.
"You think Uncle Silas will want that bracelet? Even if you give it to him, he won’t care for it! And do you even have the money for this? Or are you using his money to buy things for him? Is there any point in that?"
Portia, meanwhile, was propped up on her elbow, thoroughly enjoying the spectacle.
Calliope chuckled softly. "Whether he likes it or not is his business. I choose to give it because I want to. Besides the bracelet, I'll give him the ring and maybe even a house. Surely, he'll like one of those!"
"Calliope, are you trying to rile me up?" Gideon said, smirking like he had her all figured out. "You think I’d get jealous? You can’t even afford these things. Uncle Silas doesn’t need them."
Portia couldn’t help but laugh.

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......
